Jack Benny was such a sweet man. My father waited on Mr Benny after a benefit performance in Riverside CA in 1970. He came in with another gentleman for dinner. It was almost closing time so they were running out of certain items. Mr Benny ordered a meat dish with a baked potatoe and peas. My dad had a heavy Mexican accent and so he says to Jack Benny" I'm so sorry Mr Benny, we are out if piss". Jack Benny pounded the table and laughed hard for over 5 minutes.

"Right now I'm a wreck."  No better timing of a line than this one.  Students of comedy need to see this.

Jack Benny was before my time, which is sad, because I <b>love</b> him. ❤

It's fascinating watching Benny because he's makes being funny seem effortless.  That Mark Twain "not to me line" was hysterical.  What a master.

As a young man, Johnny worked as an usher on The Jack Benny show. Johnny often said he modelled his style after Jack. He loved and he did idolize him

No one today knows who Jack Benny was... and it's their loss!

Mark Twain once said (NOT TO ME!)… His timing and delivery get me every time! 😂😂😂

You know i finally figured it out about my fascination about this period of entertainers like Jack Benny or Geroge burns.  The loved entertaining and it was work and they treated as such.  I watched the George Burns and Gracie Allen show and it was funny to me.  I was entertained.  I sometimes listen to some of these interviews and they loved to entertain more than being a politics spokesperson.  They lived difficult lives when they were young.
