Originally aired April 19, 1953. Jack visits his agent to get his option picked up for the show. While he waits in the lobby, Fred Allen is busy inside convincing the agent to "put Benny out to pasture"...
For for my whole life I have loved jack . He is my mentor because I try to be a penny pincher and people love it when I act like jack. Long live penny pinchers.
Like it but it has the feel of ancient geriatric humor, all respects to Mr. Allen, a man reminding me of my grandfather and a man in his prime in the 1930's. This very smart man died three years later. A different time. A different era, more tolerant of the popularity of the elderly than today, if sorely deficit in other ways in US society...
Eddie Anderson or better known as Rochester on the show. Long career in film and others but best known with Jack Benny. Wikipedia has more info..but he is a legend.

The more i see Fred Allen the more i understand why he was so well liked peers and fans alike
In the 50's I love Lucy, The Honeymooners and The Jack Benny show were clearly better than the others and have standed the test of time
It’s no wonder why Johnny Carson loved Jack Benny so much. The was was a gem.
