I wrote Mel Blanc a letter when I was a kid(1981). He responded by sending me an 8x10 color photo of him and his characters, signed to ME(putting my first name on it). As a 10 year old kid, I couldn't believe it. I love this guy!

@@PaulA-os9pb I was 10 years old at the time. I sent out a lot of letters asking for autographs on baseball cards to players, with a self addressed stamped envelope. Most did it, but some didn’t. Pete rose or mike Schmidt wouldn’t return my card with an autograph. Dave Winfield and Gaylord Perry wouldn’t either. My favorite Steve Garvey always did. I wrote Neil Armstrong(first man on the moon) a letter and got his autograph as well as Dr Jonas Salk. Dr Salk had discovered the polio vaccine, which was a very big deal for kids in the 50’s. Polio is what put FDR in a wheelchair. I really doubt that most celebrities like this would return their autograph these days. Thank you for your comment.

The part where Daffy dresses up like Bugs, and Bugs like Daffy, he does each characters voice, doing an impression of the other, and had an argument between the two. He did it without messing up in *ONE TAKE!* And he also played Elmer Fudd!

Mel Blanc did virtually all of the voices of the loonie tunes characters. Ask any voice over actor and yhey will yell you that Mel Blanc was the greatest of them all, hands down.

I'm going to say something original that I've never seen on KZbin comments: I miss the good ol days when shows were fun, and we don't have this kind of entertainment anymore. We won't see this anymore. There is no talent like this nowadays.
@patricianordman608012 жыл бұрын
We owe Jack Benny and his stalwarts on the show our eternal gratitude. Oh, to have comedians these days with the insight and compassion of Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, Bob Newhart and others of that time. True comedy!

Jack Benny and Mel Blanc's's classic 'Se' routine, ranks right up there with Abbott and Costello's, 'Who's on 1st' skit.

Every time I watch these clips with Jack and Mel, I notice Mel seems to have that same effect on Jack as Tim Conway has on Harvey Korman on “The Carol Burnett Show”!! 😃👍

To Katherine Leisering:What else? Politically constipated Social Justice Weenies,snowflake millenials with no sense of humor and good taste who think the Kartrashians are better than Jack Benny & gang.Not by a long shot.I'm betting you grew up watching Mr.Benny like me or heard his classic radio show.I left another posting calling out people who thought Mr.Benny was racist.

Understanding humanity and being able to laugh at yourself is important. This is why Jack was so successful. Also loved Mel.

Super. I Remember this from the Dating Game, and it was the TV ad song for Mazda's Great Little Car. (GLC) Every time that I hear Spanish Flea, the words come back to haunt me. "It's Mazda's, Great Little Car, it's Mazda's, Great Little Car, it gets 45 mpg, 35 mpg, WOW, it's Mazda's Great Little Car." Now the curse is yours. P.S. Mel and Benny were great. 💙 T.E.N.

Whoever said that Jack Benny was a racist is a bold face liar.Jack Benny was never racist and he made very sure where ever he went Eddie "Rochester"Anderson was there.Rochester died a very wealthy man because of Jack Benny made sure he ivested his money wisely.Jack Benny was a great man.

yes i,m glad you said that..in his movies he always gave rochester the best lines and rochester would do 3 or 4 musical numbers...

Rochester died in the motion picture country home. I think there was an income "ceiling" for people who lived at the home. I don't think very many multi-millionaires lived there. eddie Anderson may have HAD money at one time. however, I don't think he had all that much money when he died........

Indeed, there were numerous times when Jack's entourage would show up at a hotel only to be told that Rochester couldn't stay there; Jack's standard response was, "Then neither can the rest of us." He was a civil rights activist 15 years before there was a civil rights movement...

+Byron Benguche' you are so right--and if you notice Rochester's scenes with Jack were never condescending master/servant--in fact Rochester many times got better half of Jack's often infantile ways. By the way, Jack refused to perform, I believe, in places where Eddie could not book in the same hotel--They were friends as well as co-workers.

Both my mom and I just loved Jack Benny and enjoyed reruns of his show back when I was a kid (1960's). I was LOL at Mel Blanc's stone-faced "Si, Sy, Sue"! 🤣And the music was terrific. Jack Benny mostly pretended he was a bad violinist to make people laugh - but his playing was delightful here. Wish we had variety shows like that today.
