Jack Benny vs. Groucho 1955

On his TV show, Jack Benny plays a contestant on Groucho's "You Bet Your Life" Program. That's Irene Tedrow in between the two masters. This is just a treasure I have to share.

Unfortunately you're probably right. I'm 51 years old myself and remember Jack and Groucho from when I was a kid and they and the comedians of their era put the potty mouth idiots of today who call themselves comics to shame.

Jack Benny who took some ribbing for his 'soft mannerisms' - (he wasn't really gay) has fun with the classic 'swish' style of those closeted times.

I didn't think anyone could come close to Groucho in regards to his wit and delivery, but Jack Benny really gave him a run for his money.

Hilarious when Jack pries open the duck's mouth to see if he can get any more money out of it.
