Ok, yeah... There were no cuss words, so what! Let's get over that aspect and just say it's funny. I Love these old shows. It's fun to hear the old product adds. These players were great at reading their lines and making them sound effortlessly smooth. My hats off to the talent of all of them!

One of you Generation Y types wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes back in the 1940s. So, you needn't have suffered long.

Yes, it was radio, and, as they did it week by week, they often didn't have a lot of time to rehearse.

I wonder if they realized how vital they were to the war effort?

@letmewatchdamvids Well, it IS a filmed live radio show. If you've listened to hundreds of the original shows, then seeing this pure gold! Gold, letmewatchdamvids, GOLD! ;)
Well, if you're seriously asking....
Jack Benny was one of the greatest radio comedians in history. His show ran for about 15 years on NBC radio, and almost as long on CBS radio and television. You'll notice from this that he was almost always the butt of the jokes. He was also one of the sweetest men who ever lived. No one ever had a bad thing to say about Jack Benny. He was as beloved by his peers as he was by the general public.
