Jack Benny Program: Ghost Town Western (Guest Gisele Mackenzie)

[@stevenartascos2918]

Thanks to the jack Benny program, there's actually something to watch on TV. These shows are top notch!!! ...

[@Swybryd-Nation]

Yes modern TV can reach new depths of insufferable nausea and blatant anti-white racism while those of us with taste can always fall back on classic TV.

[@jeffdawson2786]

I can watch these over and over.

[@Riogi]

This is so funny! Jack Benny was always hilarious! I love these old shows and love acquainting myself with them.

[@nancydavis_]

The Jack Benny program reminds me of my dear Dad! He loved humor and he also liked The Jack Benny Show. Gisele MacKenzie does a fabulous job singing, "You'll love me so much better in button and bows" : ) "East is east and West is west" : ) Thanks for posting!!

[@colinwilliams553]

Love me some Jack Benny.These classic shows are far better than the crap that's on T.V right now....and I'm a person of color... and it's 2020!!

[@Riogi]

I agree with you.

Great stuff

[@tomtransport]

Gerald Mohr, playing Tombstone Harry here, was the insurance investigator Johnny Dollar on the radio program "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. 😀😀

[@fromthesidelines]

He *auditioned* for "JOHNNY DOLLAR" in 1955, when the series became a nightly 15 minute serialized program. However, Mohr was busy filming the syndicated series "FOREIGN INTRIGUE", so the role went to Bob Bailey. Gerald WAS "PHILIP MARLOWE" on radio from 1948 through '51.

Gisele loves to play with Jack. She is gold.

[@TimothyGreen-c9t]

This is the greatest

Wait a minute cactus.

great singer!

[@jonathanclary3992]

Rip Jack Benny and Gisele McKenzie

[@Riogi]

I wish they could come back and wow us some more -- they and all the other greats who have also passed on.

[@mortalclown3812]

I just wanna be good enough that when I die, I get to the part of heaven where Jack is. ♡

[@glittersparkle5148]

OMG we need shows like this again extremely funny. Chicago love

[@bus114]

Nice. By the way the song title is "Buttons and Bows."

[@Ilickbuttholeify]

Classic.

[@Outlier999]

Gerald Mohr - a great character actor who died too young and too soon.

[@janwilliams1270]

Gerald Mohr and Myron Healey, two of my favorite character actors and perennial bad guys.

[@Outlier999]

@@janwilliams1270 I have seen a few tv shows and movies so old, Healey actually played a good guy. I only saw Mohr play a good guy once in a sci-fi movie.

[@janwilliams1270]

@@Outlier999 Mohr was a guest on an episode of jack benny's, where he was a renter in Jack's house while Jack's hot wife was fooling around with Mohr. Mohr showed that he was a good dancer too. A funny episode.

[@Outlier999]

@@janwilliams1270 I saw that. Jane Mansfield was the wife. Dennis O’Day was their stupid son. Benny’s character was going to get the electric chair. He was sick of his son’s stupidity so he tried to shoot him in the head. The bullet bounced off the son’s thick skull and killed Mohr.

[@jeffgreen7499]

Ha! I love those 2 guys! They showed often in the 1950s and 60s along so many other guys...Harry Lauter, Jan Merlin, Jack Elam, John Anderson, Lee Van Cleef and so many more I haven't mentioned!@@janwilliams1270

[@pennypiper7382]

Always original.

[@frankconti7529]

Will Wright as The Owner did the voice of Friend Owl from Bambi!

Yes, old, crabby Ben Weaver from TAGS! :)

There's no point in ducking down when he goes for his gun. It always randomly hits a target that he's not aiming towards.

Who make 2021 TV show! Funny I like

[@robertcombs55]

GOD I Miss those days; before Drugs; and the Vietnam War...Born in 1947... I remember when America was GREAT!

[@markandcathynickerson1287]

Robby Combs was 20 in 1967 and 72 now. Either so full of drugs then that he can't recall Vietnam or suffering from dementia now. More likely the later since he is a typically confused trump voter. Sad.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

Meanwhile Jim crow was still in effect, blacks couldn't vote and were oppressed, gays couldn't come out or risk being fired or killed and and the civil rights act wouldn't be signed for another 20 years, and the hayes office still was censoring tv and film till the 60's. i get that it was a fair time, but only for some...

[@appledoreman]

@@markandcathynickerson1287 Yes, but you're still watching comedy from those days because you know current stuff is rubbish.

[@annettegenovesi]

@@markandcathynickerson1287 You weird. He meant that this SHOW was before the Vietnam war you confused Obama/Biden voters.

WHO was Gisele Mackenzie and what THE HELL ever happened to her? .... She was DYNAMITE!

[@dehoedisc7247]

Popular Canadian singer

[@lindaeasley4336]

Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. In the 1950s she moved to California .Jack Benny recommended her for the show Your Hit Parade in 1953 where she sang songs .Benny played a big role in her career when she first came to the US . She became a citizen in 1955 She died in California in 2005 at the age of 78

[@janwilliams1270]

And she was a great violinist and did duets with jack.

[@bryantlane8646]

World 🌎 class violin 🎻 player…DR.BRYANT LANE….

[@OofusTwillip]

There's no such song as "Buttons in a Bowl". The song is "Buttons and Bows", from the Bob Hope movie "The Paleface".

[@happydayz7857]

At what time if year do you need to wear a Pom Pom hat anywhere in the VICINITY of Phoenix?

[@happydayz7857]

Actually it’s more of a Keebler elf hat. Ugliest hat I’ve ever seen.

[@claudalfred2064]

Goodstuf

[@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet]

Where was Rochester and Dennis Day?

[@annettegenovesi]

Back at the ranch.

[@fromthesidelines]

They didn't appear in EVERY episode, as they did on radio.

[@NancySanders-om4ic]

Gerald Mohr.

[@fromthesidelines]

They weren't in EVERY episode, 'social'. There were several that featured them, but this one wasn't it.
