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.

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.

Yes. I've watched the footage of Benny's funeral. So many people. And so many of them expressing inconsolable grief. Carson especially. He often credited Benny with his own success. Specifically noting that he became successful because of his astute understanding of timing. Something he often said that he learned watching Jack Benny. Benny they say was as kind and generous off screen as he was on it. A real gentleman. Sadly those days are gone. The days of ladies and gentlemen is past.

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.

A true story: Jack Benny is at The White House, LBJ is going table to table to greet everyone. Comes to Jack's table, chats and leaves. Benny says to Adli Stevenson and Hedda Hopper, at his table, that he's very disappointed. All the other Presidents called me Jack. Hedda Hopper asks, 'What did Lincoln call you?' Before he could answer, Stevenson says 'Kubelsky', it was before he changed his name...

Carson adored Benny, had since he was a kid in the Midwest, and it's obvious here. One of Carson's exes told Mike Wallace, in a "60 Minutes" interview, that after he got home from Benny's funeral he absolutely bawled inconsolably for a while. (See if you can find footage of young Johnny Carson's stand-up stuff, from the '50's, on Ed Sullivan: It looks as though he's doing a Jack Benny impersonation, and because he's modeled himself after Benny, he is.) Benny's remarks about not liking going places where he is not known are especially poignant: I teach at the World's Most Famous Music School, in Boston, which pumps out incredibly talented aspiring members of the Entertainment Industry, and most of them have no knowledge of who he is, or what he was.
