The Jack Benny Program - Jack Gets Robbed (1/3)

This is one of the funniest Jack Benny programs I have ever seen. In this episode, Jack allows a little girl to come up from the audience to get his autograph. As Jack asks the girl a few questions, her answers lead Jack to believe that she is the daughter of someone very important.

Between the little girl's answers and Jack's hilarious reactions, the enormous talent of Jack Benny emerges. What a master of timing and facial expressions he was.

The skit which follows is a hilarious exchange between Jack and Rochester, and Jack's various security devices to help prevent robbery.

From back when it was "The Lucky Strike Program" since the sponsor owned the show usually. This is great classic television. Jack Benny was one of the funniest men of all time. Thanks so much for sharing this show in it's complete form.

@storrs19 He was hilarious and this was a good episode. You're welcome.

..and Benny's writers were the highest paid in the industry- AND the most respected. It was said, "Nobody ever came between Jack and his writers". Perrin, Balzer, Goldman & Gordon continued to write Jack's TV show until it ended in 1965 (also earning an Emmy award). And Jack was an unofficial "fifth writer" and "script editor"- he KNEW what kind of comedy worked for him.

@fromthesidelines This is great information. I'm sure you're right about Jack's intuition regarding what worked for him. Lots of loyalty there.

Fond memories of sitting in my grandparents living room watching the Jack Benny show and the commercials make it seem just like last week. TV shows today just don't make the same grade.

LSMFT... LSMFT.... Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco. Yes, Lucky Strike Means FINE Tobacco. So round, so firm, so fully-packed, so free and easy on the draw. In a cigarette, it's the tobacco that counts, and Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco. And fine tobacco means real, deep-down smoking enjoyment for you. So, smoke that smoke of fine tobacco... LUCKY STRIKE!

Yes, 'WSenator', Jack's radio show was still on {albeit pre-recorded} when this aired in January 1955. On those weeks when the TV show was scheduled, it was possible to hear his radio program at 7pm(et), then watch the TV edition at 7:30 {in fact, Jack often reminded his radio audience when he was on TV the same evening}.
