This is priceless! Bogie in a funny little skit w/Jack Benny! Loved every minute! Today you wouldn't be able to watch this w/o having to suffer thru 15 commercials!
Bogart is just fantastic in this episode. He understands this style of comedy perfectly and acts with just the right mix of seriousness and farce. He brings a real comedic gravitas to this very funny scene.. What a great talent he was!
Excellent ..Bogart, Cooper...Benny brought them all in..hard to believe all that time has paased. All deceased and we are next. The 60, 70's and 80's were good decades to be alive and be under 35. .
Thanx so very much, BAMshowbits, for sharing this little gem! Keep 'em coming, please? To Bogie and Benny, RIP, gentlemen, and thank you for the magic, and memories.
I give my gratitude for providing the time to upload the episode of Mr. Benny's show, I am joyous to be aware of this series for the first time. If only Mr. Bogart was able to perform in more comedies if he was interested, to me had potential to do comedy films.
RareEnigma He also did a light comedy, that I liked, called "We're No Angels", with Peter Ustinov, and Aldo Ray. (Now this one, I knew the title. lol.) With no intent to ignore Mr. Ustinov, it was a pleasure to see these two men, who usually played tough guy, serious characters, showing other facets of their acting skills in a film like this. The films I saw Mr Ray in I liked but I never knew his name until looking up the cast today. He didn't have that name recognition(thing)like Bogey or other A listers, but it seemed to me, that he gave good performances in any film he did.
Here we have one of the half dozen or so true comic geniuses ever and the ultimate film lead actor who possessed the greatest screen presence of all-time performing together. They did not disappoint.
Oh, Jack, you wonderful talent! I'd seen this before on a borrowed DVD set, but I'd forgotten about all the jokes and schtick. So cute--and great to see Bogart doing comedy, including that jingle! ^.^
Never saw this before but I always love the Jack Benny clips and this was a incredible treat never even knew this existed with one of the all-time great actors in history and this skit was hilarious! The contrast between Benny's and Bogart's personalities is just so funny here whoever thought of it was a genius!

When i saw Humphrey Bogart linked with Jack Benny, I was so surprised and could not wait for it to start. Roasting Humphrey Bogart?? Thank you so much.
Radio was my babysitter as a kid in L.A. Listening to radio was far more interesting than watching a new fangled idea called television... in black and white!
Both class acts! had the pleasure of meeting bogies son Stephen. Dead ringer for his dad!! That was a act about Jack Benny being stingy with his money. Actually in real life he was very generous. ☺👏
Um, that was the McCarthy era, when everyone had to tread carefully because of destroyed careers due to accusations of being a Communist. Being politically correct then meant being on the right, being willing to name names. No wonder the show stayed away from politics. Those certainly weren't great days.
I collect vintage comedy vinyl. I have a Jack Benny disc with a whole side dedicated to a skit with Bogart and his wife Bacall. It’s totally different from this episode, not to mention funny as hell.
Jacl Benny came from radio, which is probably why this program was done without an audience, which I think was unusual. Even I Love Lucy was filmed before a live audience as was Dick Van Dyke (which did surprise me). Benny however, knew exactly how to time his lines. Still some good stuff. It was different then, perhaps not better, but different. Also, Beat the Devil is worth checking out. A semi-obscure Bogie film because everyone in it played against type and it just confused people.
@@Mooza1 One, I'm old. Two, I watch a lot of TH-cam clips. I was startled to see a clip of Desi introducing I Love Lucy to an audience before a filming and one of The Dick van Dyke shows which had the audience in the frame. Had always sort of assumed it was canned laughter (which was used a lot elsewhere). Canned laughter was very prevalent in the '60's and beyond. Interestingly, The Big Bang Theory was mostly done before a live audience also. Oh, BTW, Dick van Dyke is still alive and kicking. He'll (hopefully) be 95 on Dec. 13.
Can you give me a reference for Bogart and Chesterfields? Thanks! Some stars endorsed more than one cig brand, depending on which company was actively bidding and which was under investigation by the FTC at any given time. Joan Crawford appeared in ads for five different brands over her career. A go-getter!
@@strongtype4671 Both Bogey and Lucille Ball were long time Chesterfields smokers. Frank Gifford was a three pack a day Chesterfield man, but he promoted Camels along with Miss Ball. Check Wikipedia for more info.
@@altonpitts6550 From what I understand, Lucy smoked Parliments and since the show was sponsored by Phillip Morris Cigarettes, she would stuff Parliments into a Phillip Morris pack.
Jack Benny is so out classed here. Bogart played gangsters but he went to. Andover/Phillips Academy and 1 year at Yale (He dropped out because of WWI).
@van wray Jackie Gleason said something about Hollywood ... getting talented people, wining/dining/girls/drugs .. once they hook you you belong to them for ever plus one day. Humphrey probably fell into that trap and went with the flow ...
I could picture Phil Hartman and John Lovitz doing the skit, as they liked to do, I hear. I hear Bogart was a wimpy character in earlier films, before playing hard-boiled detectives, so, after this, I could see him doing comedy, too.
This is hysterical! I love these actors. See Bogart in All through the night. Funny movie.

two of 20th centuries greats in their fields of comedy and drama. thanks so much for sharing BAMshowbits
This comical episode demonstrates the incredible acting talent of Bogart regardless of the script. I loved this!
Bogie & Benny two of my favorites.
Great stuff!🤣

"No hair, just a curly head". I love that line.
Advertisers and the network must have loved, loved, loved Jack Benny. And with Bogart's appearance, they hit the jackpot.
I love it when Benny and Bogie
did the Lucky Strike commercial. Hilarious !!!
Jack Benny was hilarious 😂 Loved by millions. Very generous in real life.
One of a type. For me, no peer.

Bogart did do comedy films and did very well including All Through the Night (1942).
You should look up the movie “we’re no angels” with him, Aldo Ray, and Peter Ustinov, it is a gem and not to be missed.

Just watch Bogart in the African Queen , what a actor, just great !!!!!😁🇬🇧
he was the Real Deal ,they broke the mold after they made him
Benny along with Groucho Marx was probably the foremost influence on comedy of the 20th century (Carson took everything from him).
And admitted it, too.

He was straight, hetero, married.

heard he took a piece of shrapnel to his lip which gave him the famous tight lipped oration -

at this time he would have had esophageal cancer without yet realizing. Not that they could do much, but he left it way too long to deal with.
