One of the funniest ever. And yet no vulgarity. Just plain good humour. Regards to all Jack's fans. England, November, 2023.

It’s so comforting to laugh, isn’t it ? ⭐️

I love these old Jack Benny programs on KZread. There’s nothing to watch on television these days. It’s easy to see how much more effort was put into programming then today. Television entertained people back then.

Agreed 💯! There's a great episode where George and "Gracie" guest star- it is SO funny! 😄

Jack Benny is my favorite comedian

This was So,So fun and GREAT to watch,thank you,for showing it!

This one of my favorite Jack Benny Show TV episodes. Evidently even back then, people were annoyed by unsolicited phone calls.

The sleeping gag was great.

I loved the radio version of this. It's great to see the TV version with added sight gags.

The operator on the phone was none other than the lovable Bea Benaderet (Cousin Pearl from The Beverly Hillbillies and Kate Bradley from Petticoat Junction). She had several small roles on Jack's show. She was wonderful. Sadly, She passed away during the 6th season of Petticoat Junction. The show should have been canceled after her death but it went to finish season 6 and season 7 when CBS. Canceled all their rural shows. This act has been referred to as "The Rural Purge".

I agree with you! Be Safe,Take Care.

@9:10. In 1954, when this was filmed, the smog in LA was almost as bad as Pittsburgh's steel mill.pollution. it took until 1961 for California to mandate PCVs on all passenger cars. That kept things from getting even worse, but it took until the 1990s for the air to finally begin to clear. Now, the air's cleanee as it ever was any time in 20th century. Lesson: pollution controls wotk.

You forgot “get off my lawn!”

These are hilarious

That is actually a good time to get up.

Voice of Betty from The Flintstones as phone operator.

Jack Benny show could get pretty surreal at times (seees all the way to Paris when LA smog clears up/pretty extreme visual comedy-satire).

Thanks for posting! One thing that I'm interested in, though, is the date that these shows aired.

I love these shows - but is Rochester an employee or a slave? What right has Benny asking a grown man what was he doing out at night? I know this is only a comedy and that is part of it - yet I can't help thinking that some bosses are truly like that - they think they have the right to know about a person's private life. I wish even in the show Rochester had said, "None of your business boss!"
