Truly funny to the core.

I'm 16, and my parents and other family members were lucky enough to raise me on good music and shows like this!

Back in the day when comedians were funny.unlike "alternative" so called comedians that rely on profanity and sex to get cheap laughs.

Jack Benny was Larry David before Larry David. With a few tweaks, this scene could be right out of Curb.

@Astraldragon1 There are still some (very few) of us (born 1992) who recognize the legends of the 40s 50s 60s 70s 80s and 90s. The 21st century is nothing - bad hip hop music, no talent actors, and comedians who think that awkward moments are hilarious no matter the deliver (with a few exceptions). But you have a point because when I mentioned Jerry Lewis to a group of about 8 friends, only one had simply heard of that name

Jack Benny was comedy at it's finest. The old radio shows are supreme. Even my 15 year old daughter has them loaded on her IPOD.
It's a darn shame that you can ask most people "have you ever heard of Jack Benny" and their reply will most often be "no". His radio show was two and a half decades of comedy genius. Easily the best comedy show of all time. His television show wasn't half bad either, but then again, television as a medium is inferior to radio anyway (when it comes to comedy). Fred Allen said it best "Television is a medium because anything well done is rare."
But anyway, Jack has the best material ever.
