Jack Benny radio show 12/15/40 Rochester Is Missing

[@janmcdonald3896]

Thanx. Rochester is my favourite of the crew

[@AstralPixie]

Yeah, Rochester and Mel Blanc are my favorites. I just saw a funny tv episode where Rochester looked smashing sitting in his smoking jacket reading on his day off. Jack isn't home, and the phone keeps ringing. No movement from Rochester. Then, finally he swings his arm over to the desk with the ringing phone... and he picks up his drink ;)

Miss McDonald, Besides Jack Benny of course, my other favorite people on this radio show are Phil Harris, Eddie “Rochester” Anderson, Dennis Day and Mel Blanc. My only problem is trying to find a picture of the man who portrays the man who sometimes knocks on the door and “harasses” Jack😊.

Mancel Talcott was the Waukegan mayor until 1941. He must have gone by a nickname.

Was that Joe Besser as "Killer" Hogan? I definitely recognized the voice of Eddie Green of "Duffy's Tavern" as Radcliffe Spears, Jr.

Dennis Day sings 'There I Go'... so beautiful!!!

[@debrashawn]

Another triumph for radio humor

[@listeningeyes9990]

Was that man really the mayor of Jack’s hometown, or was he another radio actor who played the role in the few episodes?

[@joanneromeo2630]

Real mayor They grew up together

J E L L O!

[@joanneromeo2630]

It was the real mayor. They grew up together

Fred Allen was such a SNOTTY SNOB on the game show “What’s My Line”. That is where I first heard & saw of him.

Is that Mary in that pic? Woof! She was a double bagger!

[@Tre404]

Yes, that is Mary.

[@Tre404]

She was "a real chiller-diller!"
