Jack Benny always made himself the butt of all his jokes. His TV show skits show off his skills the best. He was a very generous person, and much loved by many in Hollywood, itself an accomplishment. He died within a couple of weeks of his last appearance with Johnny on the Tonight Show the year (1974) following this appearance. The whole country grieved, his funeral made the national news. Also, his humor was very ‘dry,’ he wasn’t after the guffaw, but the grin and chuckle.
ME! He always lived a healthy lifestyle and took care of himself. Didn't smoke either. He's a trumpet player and tootin' that horn takes a lot of breath and stamina.
@@user-me7tc6ev3d Well, my grandmother did for one. She wanted to live to be 100. She died at 91. My uncle was another. He made it to 95 and was active working in his yard right up to the last week or two of his life. My father is another. He's in his 90's but his only problem is that he has dementia now.
It's so sad when I see this and think Jack would be dead just a year and a half later. He should have had another 20 years like his best friend George Burns.
Jack Benny es el seudónimo de Benjamin Kubelsky (Chicago, 14 de febrero de 1894-Beverly Hills, 26 de diciembre de 1974) fue un comediante estadounidense famoso entre las décadas de 1920 y 1970, reconocido como uno de los principales talentos humorísticos norteamericanos del siglo xx.
This suit is at least of a solid color. The wide tie and lapels were the style in '73. A year later Carson wore plaid suit jackets, sometimes with matching trousers and it was sensory overload. The clothes wore him. It was just too much and !looks embarrassingly dated now, but it was in style back then.
Only difference is back then, public opinion changed with new information. Unlike today, where followers in cults of personality deny, don’t accept information and don’t change their beliefs.

Currently watching this episode. Joe had to have been f'd up as hell 🤣🤣🤣 Or aftermath of multiple head injuries. But at that time, I'm sure he was hi*h on something
" Jack Benny ... What a bore " ...?! He made consistently entertaining humour ...☺️ He wasn't a " bore" ! He was an " original " ☺️. Don't be so mean ! ☺️ 🇬🇧🦉🇬🇧💕🇺🇲🐒🌿🇬🇧
Benny was like 80 years old in this episode. And was Johnny's hero. He would die in 1974. Johnny wasn't having him on to slay the audience at this point he was having him on out of respect and admiration. The Tonight Show itself was a bore much of the time. Especially when it ran for an hour and a half, they would just sit there smoking cigarettes and muttering.
Too bad Jack is not your cup of tea.Too old school for you.Jack Benny is one of the greats of radio and Television at 80 Jack didnt have to prove how funny he could be.Without using curse words like today comedians.Miss old Jack and Johnny.

who would've thought Doc would still be alive at 97 today !
I am always shocked to hear he is still alive.

Who wants to live that long . I think god should pull us when we start to feel i cant do what i used to be able to.. thats when i want to go.

He’s 96, but point taken
Carson - still the gold standard.
indeed
2 consummate professionals Jack & Johnny. A joy to watch 👍🏻
Johnny was the best - he lets his guest talk and doesn’t interrupt or interfere ! Carson was the best and Jack Benny was always fascinating ❤❤❤
Classic TV gold. 💟
Carson is on fire good monologue
Jack was the BEST😂

@30:16 love the Mark Twain joke and his quote: “Age is a matter of mind, and if you don’t mind it doesn’t matter”.
I don't mind. Not at all. It's the fact that everyone ELSE minds! Try getting a job or a date or a relationship after you're 50!
I didn’t appreciate Jack when I was young but now I find him to be hilarious!
Elke Sommer is 82 & still with us. (as of 8/25/2023.)
Joe Namath was a smooth operator back in his day.
You look a lot younger than me. You probably don't remember him when he did the pantyhose commercial! 😂
I forgot about this commercial but it's here on YT. My God, did he get ridiculed for agreeing to do that ad. I liked his ads with Farrah best.
He looked a little faded right here. But yes, the smooth operator! 💪
Namath was stoned!!! LOL!
Or drunk. He was an alcoholic for quite some time.
My dogs really love Jack Benny.

Why the hell do you post this
👌
Look at Johnny's tie! It's wider than than his head.
This suit is at least of a solid color. The wide tie and lapels were the style in '73. A year later Carson wore plaid suit jackets, sometimes with matching trousers and it was sensory overload. The clothes wore him. It was just too much and !looks embarrassingly dated now, but it was in style back then.
And that tie pin
why are a lot of these videos 2+ hours long and they are just looped? I Never understood that
They did jokes about politics on late night at that time?!?! I’m shocked, I thought it was a new thing..

Pot.
He had major drinking problems
38:48 one of the few times Johnny lights up on camera.
Risky, as smoking was banned on TV since 1971
Sad that he had cancer and didn’t know it at the time..
Man, did Elke have such wonderfully beautiful legs. Well, all of her was beautiful.
❤Lovely lady!
Yes, what a beauty!!! 😊
Good team? They went 4 and 10
How old is Elke now?
82
Italian
Ty mo vome out florida your in trouble gred myers clises there doors
Yea the hippy movement had really done wonders for America, look at us now and all the woke BS we have:
Duzy home turf american legion they need money abd new leader new building new leader lisa suzy mellissa jaggered jeff sergant
Lisa yried make over and dhort
Joe Namath was wasted!! What a tool. Had to be booze, because weed was very much illegal, and regarded as dangerous, by most of the country in 1973.
Cary grant grand daughter is being dneaky trying screw up. My money ism sick of it 😊😊
THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST TIME JOE WAS ON THE TONIGHT SHOW / HE ALWAYS THINKS HIS CRAP DON'T STINK HE IS TO ARROGANT FOR ME /
Kroger fred myers dtores vlosed
Why do you put that horrible f'n music on the end?
That music is beautiful .
Can't believe Jack Benny was a comedian, seems more like a Tv executive...such a bore.
True
" Jack Benny ...
What a bore " ...?!
He made consistently
entertaining humour ...☺️
He wasn't a " bore" !
He was an " original " ☺️.
Don't be so mean ! ☺️
