The Jack Benny Program - Guest Bob Hope (3/3)

Jack welcomes Bob Hope as his guest in this episode. The program begins with Jack's monologue but he is soon joined by Hope.

The skit which follows is about the act of Benny and Hope (or Hope and Benny, depending on the time) trying to convince their manager to book them somewhere...anywhere. The show has some great one-liners and it is very entertaining to watch these two show biz veterans, who obviously have a great liking for one another, work together.

This episode was previously edited and runs short, a little under nineteen minutes, but it is nineteen minutes of splendid comedy.

Who plays young Jimmy Durante?

[hwy61media]

@CastingCrowns100 You've got me there! Anybody else?

[christiancowboy1]

I'm not getting any older...younger-Haha! Jesse's reaction is SO funny! He always played such terse, blount parts and to see him laughing at Bob and Jack's quips - Classic! Who wouldn't though?!

[hwy61media]

You're so right, who wouldn't? Benny and Hope were a great pair and seem to genuinely like working together.

Jesse White is terrific in this. How can he not nearly lose it when he among the 2 greatest ad-lib comedians of all time...

[hwy61media]

Amazing self control :)

[ratboygenius]

great stuff. this is a remake of a radio sketch jack did with fred allen. fred allen was jack benny's vaudeville partner and played the clarinet (miserably) in the "tea for two" number, trading off while jack played violin. i guess for television they figured bob hope dancing and dropping his cane would suffice.

[eatinglovepies]

anyone knows the song that bob sang at 5:00?

oh~how i wish they were real partners!

[BTURNER1961]

Funny thing guys, we seemed to know when to laugh without the 'f' word introducing the punchline!

[invincable4ever]

So easy to see where the "Class" in Classic derives..
