I love Jack Benny. I have some of his shows in my collection.

[@jeanpreston8009]

Love and kudos to the multi-talented Mel. He could actually play almost any instrument. 🥰

[@altonpitts5303]

Surprise, surprise, surprise! Professor Leblanc really was a violin teacher.😁

[@user-no5hs2wc2t]

They were so great together and so funny!

Thank you for sharing with us this wonderful video with us!

I never had a role model growing up, I find Jack Benny to be the perfect role model when it comes to comedy……… and money.

[@michaelhardin470]

Thanks for sharing. Suddenly I’m back in grade school again. Sublime!

Gisselle MacKenzie passed away in 2003, at age 76.

A true classic. Thank you, Shokus. I still miss the one time only videos and DVDs you used to offer in flyers and emails, especially the Channel Surfing DVDs. You probably get tired of me saying this, but I can't help myself. I get a kick out of seeing TV broadcasts as they were originally shown, original commercials and all. They're hard to come by. There were several that make me kick myself for not buying when I had the opportunity. If you can't bring them back, at least show some of them here on your You Tube channel if possible.

I love the Lucky Strike commercial.

[@bobwest4839]

Ah, the wonders of live entertainment!

[@fromthesidelines]

Jack continued to do "live" programs through the end of the 1958-'59 season. Then, he started taping them in advance, mixing them with his filmed episodes.

They’re immortal.

@@MarciaMatthews Everyone has an immortal soul, but there's only one path to eternity with our great and loving Creator.

[@marywilliams9858]

She was on a Canadian show I think too.

Only time I ever heard no filter Luckies referred to as "Light."

[@fromthesidelines]

In 1958, their advertising stressed Luckies as a "light smoke"- including their magazine ads: i.ebayimg.com/images/g/SM0AAOSwrhNcl8x5/s-l1600.jpg

Sly digs about Los Angeles smog. 😁

[@altonpitts5303]

I think Mel's respiratory condition is caused by supporting the sponsor's product, not the smog. L.S./M.F.T.😉

[@altonpitts5303]

There were three songs presented on the show, not including the commercial. Miss MacKenzie sang Sail Along Silvery Moon. Later, Jack, Gisele, and the boys performed Sweet Georgia Brown and Tea for Two.
