I listen to these lovely old shows with a little earbud, while dozing off💤. Not to say they send you to sleep ! They are comforting , with gentle humour , no vulgarity, and plenty of laughter from the audience, which "registers", even when you're asleep.😊. I just had a few hours sleep, with the voices of the characters present in the dreams ! I woke up smiling ! 😊. That was so nice .😊 Thank you so much ! 😊🇬🇧💕🇺🇸🦉😊🎼🇬🇧
Beats Fred Allen hands down. What did people see in him anyway?! Jack was so smooth. And Rochester was the first Black radio performer to be paid the same as everyone else-- Jack made sure of that. Quite the guy.
I prefer Jack Benny but there were Fred Allen fans as well. There was a fake rivalry written into the shows so that people would tune in to hear what they had to say about each other.
Fred had his radio shop in New York and Jack in Hollywood. Jack told his audience he could play the Bee on his violin and would do it the next week. Fred got word of this and said things like Jack could never play the Bee and to show his audience he had a 12 year old boy come in and play the tune. Fred said Benny could never play that and that's when the feud started.
*Jack and Rochester, together again. Whats not to like eh? Also I **_Love the new Screen cover!_** But could you colorize it like the Vinny ones?* 🙂😉👍🤘👏
Why is the humor in whatever generation this was made in was way better than the generation I am from!?? (I am a gen Z and I am NOT proud of it). The Gen Z humor is mostly inappropriate, racist, bragging, body shaming, bad quality, swears, and/or violence.
I think it's because the medium of radio favours good writing. The dialogue has to be clever because they can't rely on visual gags. Also, I get the sense these days that comedians, and television shows generally, feel they need to push the boundaries of taste to make an impression.

Why did Don Wilson pronounce proteins as 'pro-tee-ans" It makes me think I'm listening to Bugs Bunny. Holy cats, was Mel Blanc on the show at that time?
Mel Blanc was the voice of Carmichael the polar bear, the voice of Jack's parrot Polly, the voice of Jack's Maxwell car, the voice of Jack's violin teacher Professor LaBlanc, the voice of Herman the Insurance salesman, and he played a man who believed he was Bugs Bunny. And the Christmas time salesman that Jack always drove crazy by returning gifts for Don Wilson.
INSANE number of AD interruptions. These programs are EIGHTY years old. Sad that there are THREE TIMES the number of Ad breaks now compared to the original broadcast 😂
At 8:16:44…doesn’t sound like Deanna Durban singing…what’s the story with her supposing to be the guest? The voice is all wrong from the start…to me anyway…
Love Jack Benny, still getting through this one. Thanks Dino
I listen to these
lovely old shows
with a little earbud,
while dozing off💤.
Not to say they send
you to sleep ! They
are comforting , with
gentle humour , no vulgarity,
and plenty of laughter
from the audience,
which "registers", even
when you're asleep.😊.
I just had a few hours
sleep, with the
voices of the characters
present in the dreams !
I woke up smiling ! 😊.
That was so nice .😊
Thank you so much !

Nice poem! I couldn't even make up any of those sentences because my generation is the slowest learning one (and dumbest).

Well everybody knows who Jack is but most ppl only know about Fred because they heard jack😂

Awesome! Thank you!
Woohoo😀!
Hey man...Thanks very much for posting all of these shows. Great stuff...
So much fun listening to these. Just sad that I don't see anymore of them.
I love how the crowd goes wild over Mary.
I didn't know the Jack Benny program visited the center the universe (Toronto) a very entertaining set of Benny shows in this collection
Would never have listened to Jack Benny if it wasn't for these streams. Will add this one to my night playlist!
Oh my, and there's so much more! I love Jack's repartee with Phil Harris, nothing beats it. You're in for a treat with Jack.

I feel sorry for the poor Don Wilson having to pronounce Grape Nuts Flakes every week. Try saying that ten times fast.
Wonderful. Thank u
Noticed how Rochester is just Rochester in the lineup.
Maybe because it's his character's name, not a stage name. In real life he was known as Eddie Anderson.
