For for my whole life I have loved jack . He is my mentor because I try to be a penny pincher and people love it when I act like jack. Long live penny pinchers.

It’s no wonder why Johnny Carson loved Jack Benny so much. The was was a gem.

In the 50's I love Lucy, The Honeymooners and The Jack Benny show were clearly better than the others and have standed the test of time

[@momtimepink]

Who are the other actors, especially the wonderful black actor?

[@MarkWilliams-dt1ty]

Eddie Anderson or better known as Rochester on the show. Long career in film and others but best known with Jack Benny. Wikipedia has more info..but he is a legend.

Rochester Van Jones

Synthesized music instead of the real thing? Are you kidding?

Like it but it has the feel of ancient geriatric humor, all respects to Mr. Allen, a man reminding me of my grandfather and a man in his prime in the 1930's. This very smart man died three years later. A different time. A different era, more tolerant of the popularity of the elderly than today, if sorely deficit in other ways in US society...
