Old as shit and still funny.

[HoughsVideos]

It's even older than this episode. It was a remake of a Christmas episode of his radio show, copied almost word for word.

more than that...in Palm Springs, when Eddie Anderson was refused a room, Benny said 'if he doesn't stay here, then neither do I'..and slept with him in the car in the parking lot. (and not because he was cheap, and SHUT UP! lol)

It takes a good comedian to get so many laughs just by saying the word "no" several times.

[akarpowicz]

How can a man saying "No" several times be so funny?!  Genius!

Oh, I see, an Oxford man. I'm in awe of your debating skills.

@felixjazzage SUCK IT!

@kingod615

It would help your argument enormously if you could only learn to spell "buffoonery."

Most of the folks in my house are Asian, and they laughed at it.

Why are all these ignorant people claiming that Jack Benny was racist? I've listened to every single episode of his radio show (I like vintage radio) and he never said a single racist thing. Jack Benny was friends with Anderson, and treated him with deep respect and affection. Stop trying to create racial tension where there is none to be found, and listen to Jack Benny's radio show for yourself and you'll see just how wrong you are.

@kingod615 no, rochester usually got the best of jack benny. and jack benny was never a racist. he would get angry if the writers wrote scenes where rochester looked ignorant. and yes there were ignorant portrayals of women and minorities back then. and how come there weren't any black people in mayberry? but, this was one of the few shows that wasn't like this.

@brewcityjr I understand fully why Benny slept with Anderson in the car - for the same reason Lombardi refused to stay in certain hotels that would not cater to ALL of his players.

[awarren92]

I'm black & I wasn't offended by this nor any scenes that Rochester played. His scenes were funny and he never made a fool out of himself. If anything he often made a fool out of Jack! Him & Jack did a lot of the same things. The reason Rochester called Jack "Boss" or "Mr. Benny" the same way Alice called the Bradys Mr. & Mrs. Brady or like many other white butlers called their bosses "Mr. & Mrs." or sometimes "Madame".

All in all, all I have left to say is: STOP NIT-PICKING!

I'll always love Jack Benny. He treated all people equally. Back in those days, whites wouldn't even have Blacks in the same dressing room with them. Jack stood up for Blacks. He was a good man through and through.....and he was one of the top ten funny man of all time!!!
