Jack Benny & The Mills Brothers #1

Jack hires The Mills Brothers to be on his show but only wants to pay for two of the group

[@Utopiate1111]

Saw these incredible gentlemen in Las Vegas (live) with my grandparents and parents (1960 - I was 8 yrs old and pounding "Shirley Temples" one after the other). Their performance has had a profound effect on my life, even 60 years later!

The Big Seven O For Us This Year Scott !!

Jack Benny at his miserly best! Wow what class and talent The Mills brothers!

[@welp1000]

And he got it at half the price.

[@davidmiller3652]

I wish we could have some shows like this today. Seems like much of this entertainment is lost in the shuffle.

[@1brewski2]

Whole lotta greatness up there on that TV screen. Mills Brothers, geniuses of easy jazz. Benny who got a lot (too much?) mileage out of the same jokes. Is anything today capable of being good eighty years after the fact?

[@shefrombrooklyn718]

I loved these guys. I was a little girl and used to wait in hurried anticipation for them to appear on the Dean Martin show

[@leighnilsen4090]

The Mills Brothers were the absolute best !

[@welp1000]

The Ink Spot is right up there.

[@pavelsfera5236]

What an era....music, voices and instruments...lots of them. Wow...I have lots of their music and just crank it whenever I need to feel lost in the vibes music moves of the soul. Bless all of them.

[@juanmonge8]

I wish that this kind of singing would come back. It is so much fun.

[@susankennedy5739]

Takes incredible skill and teamwork -- difficult for today's singers.

[@juanmonge8]

@@susankennedy5739 I have seen acapella groups perform, but for limited audiences. Unfortunately, there are very few venues where these groups can get national exposure.

[@susankennedy5739]

@@juanmonge8 True! There was an entire a capella summit in the Bay Area a while back, all kinds of groups giving classes and performing together in a night concert. Maybe it will return. The Pentatonics are a very popular group, for instance!

[@flemit35]

Harry Mills is an amazing performer

[@thefaceofthecentury]

Mills Brothers forever. The complete package!

[@ronaldstrange8981]

Always loved Jack and The Mills Brothers. I'm in heaven. September 2022.

[@idamariegiusti5257]

We need more be TV like this. Mills brothers are the best.

[@johnastrup1549]

Saw Them two times in Copenhagen.never forget.Harry is really funny and the best voice.All swings wonderful. 🎤

[@javiergonzalez8866]

The Mills Brothers were awesome Thanks for sharing this video!

[@ricktallman1574]

Mills bros the best!

[@francisalanwormald6328]

FROM A GOLDEN AGE!! I KNOW AT 83. JACK WAS JACK & BROS MILLS INCOMPARABLE!!!!

[@karajokoo]

Now, why don't they have performers like these nowadays? The Mills Brothers are simply wonderful!

[@andyspiegel4639]

I met them in Dallas at the Fairmont -- at two different supper shows. What a thrill!

[@matta7739]

Thank you for posting this!!

[@rubina_s_syed599]

Fabulous Mills brothers love them ever since I watched them with Dean Martin. Dean emulates Harry and they sound brilliant together. Definitely worth finding and watching all the Mills brothers performances

[@Anvanho]

Terrific skit with the gag premise!

[@axfaxf]

Pure magic. :).

[@carltriangolo1384]

A lot of fun seeing this.Really Wonderful!All gone now.Very Very Sad!

[@wilmageldenhuys9292]

Wonderful. Great memories with my late husband. Thank you.

[@MrWindermere123]

'insulted in harmony'...'used them for hubcaps'...excellent gags! There's another video on KZbin of the Mills Brothers singing Up A Lazy River with Dean Martin.

[@leighnilsen4090]

He didn't want to pay the whole group ...LOL

[@bobconnor1210]

“That’s the first time I was ever insulted in harmony”. And what harmony!

[@aarondigby5054]

"That's the first time I've been insulted in hamony," Jack really squeezes a laugh out of a joke, impeccable timing, patience and delivery.

[@terrencedickes6525]

My grandfather loved the mills bros and Jack Benny.so do i

[@falanajerido6939]

Benny was really funny

[@donnalynch1484]

[@aarondigby5054]

@@donnalynch1484 I like how Jack Benny squeezes a joke for the very last laugh even if it's only one, such patience and delivery.

[@davidzweiban5549]

Jack Benny is the greatest.

[@johnnybeanz1296]

Great straight men for Jack!

[@tuxguys]

Maybe my favorite Mills Bros. performance... ...coincidentally, of my favorite Tommy Dorsey tune. Listen to the special lyrics: If you get all of the references, you are either really culturally literate, really old, or both. (Tangentially, my favorite Don Wilson bit of business.) Benny had the Genius to surround himself with geniuses... Orson Welles, Johnny Carson, and Don Imus had that same Genius. (All True Geniuses understand that, and do it.)

Hello!!! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!....Stay safe!!

[@Johnny35130]

Don't care for the JB skit but that was great singing, I think it was "Opus One".

[@ts1975]

Haha

[@cayea4076]

What classy gorgeous music,... compare it to the absolute perverted garbage that's out today.

[@welp1000]

Dang old George was right. Jack is CHEEP‼️

[@HAM-sb2ns]

Ruined by canned laughter

[@redwingfan9393]

The Mills Brothers are amazing but they're clearly lip synching here.
