My all-time favorite comedian.

Constantly vexed by the hilarious and ubiquitous (YYYEEEEESSSSSS?!?") Frank Nelson.

I love old time radio. Only wish the fidelity was better. The old transcriptions were not recorded in high fidelity. We get Antenna TV in our market and Jack's TV show is sometimes on. Often in the overnight hours, but if I wake up, it's fun to watch. Same for Burns and Allen.

Little local radio station I live near plays a best of Christmas old time radio collection featuring Amos and Andy's Christmas show, A Christmas Carol featuring Basil Rathbone as scrooge, Fibber McGee and Molly, Jimmy Durante, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Red Skelton in a series of holiday skit and Phil Harris and Alice Faye with a guest appearance by Jack Benny. Always fun.

My favorite was Bob Hope but Jack Benny was a close second.

I have some old WWII photos of Benny and Dinah Shore performing on the back of a flatbed truck body amidst the ruins of some city. They were taken by a member of Daddy’s battalion and later shared with the children of other members.

Back when comedy writing teams knew what got a laugh. Jack’s show writers were the best!
