Jack Benny was such a sweet man. My father waited on Mr Benny after a benefit performance in Riverside CA in 1970. He came in with another gentleman for dinner. It was almost closing time so they were running out of certain items. Mr Benny ordered a meat dish with a baked potatoe and peas. My dad had a heavy Mexican accent and so he says to Jack Benny" I'm so sorry Mr Benny, we are out if piss". Jack Benny pounded the table and laughed hard for over 5 minutes.
Yes. I've watched the footage of Benny's funeral. So many people. And so many of them expressing inconsolable grief. Carson especially. He often credited Benny with his own success. Specifically noting that he became successful because of his astute understanding of timing. Something he often said that he learned watching Jack Benny. Benny they say was as kind and generous off screen as he was on it. A real gentleman. Sadly those days are gone. The days of ladies and gentlemen is past.
I was 10 when this aired and did not have an appreciation at the time. Looking at it now, I really appreciate what Jack Benny did; he was hilarious and did it very clean. God bless him, Johnny and Dino; they were awesome!
I’m not a body language expert but you can definitely tell Carson adores Benny. He touches very few people but Benny is one of the few whose arm or hand he seems to often reach for. He’s also very physically comfortable with McMahon but very few others.
I love watching these clips occasionally, especially since there really is nothing on television today that can come close to the chemistry Johnny had with Jack, Hope, George, and General Stewart. Wonderful guests and Johnny gave them all the laughs they wanted.
This was one of three appearances on Carson's show during 1973. He reappeared three more times during 1974. His last appearance on "The Tonight Show" was on 21 August, almost four months to the day of his death on Boxing Day, 26 December 1974.
I just felt very old, Jack Benny just said he had been married in 46 years in 1973. In 1974 I got married which was also the year I turned 24, you do the math. He sure looks young here, much older than I do but still very young.
Here it is, 2019 and I've been watching The Jack Benny Show re-runs for free via Direct TV's JLTV channel (Jewish life TV) For the past year they've also had the Danny Kaye show, Soupy Sales, Grouch Marx's You Bet Your Life, Joan Rivers' That Show, and the Beverly Hillbillys. Fans of 1960s TV should check if your TV provider has that channel.
Carson adored Benny, had since he was a kid in the Midwest, and it's obvious here. One of Carson's exes told Mike Wallace, in a "60 Minutes" interview, that after he got home from Benny's funeral he absolutely bawled inconsolably for a while. (See if you can find footage of young Johnny Carson's stand-up stuff, from the '50's, on Ed Sullivan: It looks as though he's doing a Jack Benny impersonation, and because he's modeled himself after Benny, he is.) Benny's remarks about not liking going places where he is not known are especially poignant: I teach at the World's Most Famous Music School, in Boston, which pumps out incredibly talented aspiring members of the Entertainment Industry, and most of them have no knowledge of who he is, or what he was.
You know i finally figured it out about my fascination about this period of entertainers like Jack Benny or Geroge burns. The loved entertaining and it was work and they treated as such. I watched the George Burns and Gracie Allen show and it was funny to me. I was entertained. I sometimes listen to some of these interviews and they loved to entertain more than being a politics spokesperson. They lived difficult lives when they were young.
That whole exchange about women are meant to spend money.. when Carson was looking like, "yeah boy are you right", that was funny. I love the old gentlemen of the past, they get it, women love shopping and they loved spending money on their women .
I miss that era of funny men that came up through vaudeville ... they had polish and respect for the audience that you can't learn playing comedy clubs for a couple years ... and Jack had a warmth and a generosity that came through even though his comic character was full of foibles.
Paul Roger, actually the last appearance on Johnny Carson was in August 1974, four months before his death on 26 December 1974. I’m certain because I just recently saw that appearance somewhere else here on UA-cam.
A true story: Jack Benny is at The White House, LBJ is going table to table to greet everyone. Comes to Jack's table, chats and leaves. Benny says to Adli Stevenson and Hedda Hopper, at his table, that he's very disappointed. All the other Presidents called me Jack. Hedda Hopper asks, 'What did Lincoln call you?' Before he could answer, Stevenson says 'Kubelsky', it was before he changed his name...
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.
I'm trying to find the sketch that Jack Benny, Bob Hope, and Johnny Carson did that was shown in January 1973 on The Tonight Show. Does anyone know where I can find it?
The last guest seems to predicted JB death, said to JB you chew your cigars, it’s worst then smoking, it goes down into your stomach and produces, he was unable to finished sentence. JB die of pancreatic cancer. JB did say it made him feel lousy. He tell’s JB we reach the age when don’t have to worry if we have enough for the next year and next year. JB die at the end of the year.

He was 79 here, passed the next year...LEGEND !
39! 😂
"Right now I'm a wreck." No better timing of a line than this one. Students of comedy need to see this.
Jack Benny was before my time, which is sad, because I *love* him. ❤
It's fascinating watching Benny because he's makes being funny seem effortless. That Mark Twain "not to me line" was hysterical. What a master.
So glad to be able to see so many old Jack Benny programs on You Tube!
I adore Jack Benny. To Be or Not To Be - what a wonderful film
As a young man, Johnny worked as an usher on The Jack Benny show. Johnny often said he modelled his style after Jack. He loved and he did idolize him

I honestly think Jack was one of Carson's favorite guests to have on.
I couldn't stand Carson. Loved Jack Benny
@@susanford2388 why not?
@@williamwalker146racist. Massive one
Well Jack was Johnny’s idol. His wife said that the only time she saw Johnny cry was when he was told of Jack’s passing.
Jack Benny was the best.
l love jack Benny he was so nice
I love watching these clips occasionally, especially since there really is nothing on television today that can come close to the chemistry Johnny had with Jack, Hope, George, and General Stewart. Wonderful guests and Johnny gave them all the laughs they wanted.
Although I read Hope was not one of his favorite guests since he needed his jokes written and could not adlib
7:37 That line about being nervous is so great. Gives me a laugh every time.
What a lovely man Jack Benny was. Just love him!!!!
Funny guy Jack Benny and a Legend. He also read the eulogy for Nat King Cole in 1965.
Mark Twain once said (NOT TO ME!)… His timing and delivery get me every time! 😂😂😂
Jack Benny was truly one great comics! I listen to XM's"When radio was" One of my favorite shows is The Jack Benny Program! It's comedy is timeless!
He is as bright as a button here. He does not even look ill, but just a year later, he went.
He was the Best. No question.

They were married for 47 years wow thats amazing my great grandparents were married for 68 years
Mine 75 years.. hard to believe.
He looks great for 39!
I just felt very old, Jack Benny just said he had been married in 46 years in 1973. In 1974 I got married which was also the year I turned 24, you do the math. He sure looks young here, much older than I do but still very young.
He was dead in a year. How you feeling these days?
No one today knows who Jack Benny was... and it's their loss!
Jack Benny could make you laugh without even uttering a word. Master of the pregnant pause.
No one like Jack Benny... He had that timing till the day he died.
To think he was only 39....
really how do u know no one liked him
+kathleen bohannon I didn't say no one liked him. I said there was no one like him!
sorry misread it was a class act wonder why George burns wife did not help his wife with stage fright
Not till the day he died. He was in a coma for 4 days until he passed away.
British comedy actor, Benny Hill was a fan of Jack Benny that he was named after him.
"right now I'm a wreck" XD XD XD
,,, Jack Benny - what a funny man ,,,,, he was just great !!!!

RIP Jack Benny (1894-1974)
h the Mark Twain quip was awesome!
Jack Benny was the best
This episode was from January 1974. It was Benny's last appearance before he passed in December 1974.
His last appearance was August 1974. Rich Little was host.
Carson adored Benny, had since he was a kid in the Midwest, and it's obvious here.
One of Carson's exes told Mike Wallace, in a "60 Minutes" interview, that after he got home from Benny's funeral he absolutely bawled inconsolably for a while.

tuxguys The 3rd Mrs Carson said that. when they got back to the Bel Air house, Johnny cried for over an hour.
Mark Twain comment was priceless!
Needed repeating!
Never retire :)
Jack Benny was the funniest man
On earth
What a gentleman.....
So many layers in this interview, I keep coming back.
Jack Benny caused johnny Carson to crack up
Jack Benny really had a powerful sense of humor
Old jack was Hilarious
If jack Benny were still alive
I would have loved to have gone to Hollywood and I would have asked him for an autograph picture
2:25 I was thinking Bob Hope
Where have all the great ones gone?
46 years of marriage...that means he is not 39 anymore.
Jack Benny really amused his
Audiences

I cant believe Mark Twain and Jack Benny were alive at the same time lol
I'm always so nervous.
Right now I'm a wreck.
Y'know, I'm always so nervous...............right now I'm a wreck. :D
Jack,s comments
We're hilarious
That whole exchange about women are meant to spend money.. when Carson was looking like, "yeah boy are you right", that was funny. I love the old gentlemen of the past, they get it, women love shopping and they loved spending money on their women .
I think Johnny was talking about divorce.
I miss that era of funny men that came up through vaudeville ... they had polish and respect for the audience that you can't learn playing comedy clubs for a couple years ... and Jack had a warmth and a generosity that came through even though his comic character was full of foibles.
last appearance on the Tonight Show and one of the very last public appearances - class act
Paul Roger, actually the last appearance on Johnny Carson was in August 1974, four months before his death on 26 December 1974. I’m certain because I just recently saw that appearance somewhere else here on UA-cam.
@@inkyguy and Rich Little was the host.
Tragically, he died a year later from cancer at age 80.
Jack Benny was
Hilarious
I heard t hat Johnny Carson cried when Jack Benny died which was one of the only t imes he did cry
This

Carson had such a classic handsomeness about him

Jack and Mary were married in Waukegan at the Clayton Hotel
"I gotta leave right now." Oh, to have been insulted by Benny. John was a lucky kid.
Kevin spacey !
He was 13 or 14 when Twain died I think so he could have!
JENN-U-WINE FUNNY STUFF
When Johnny's marriages were good, he wanted his wife to have the best.
I'm trying to find the sketch that Jack Benny, Bob Hope, and Johnny Carson did that was shown in January 1973 on The Tonight Show. Does anyone know where I can find it?

He doesn’t look 79 in this video
Wow. He died the following year.
Mary had her own career and money
swell1guy Her career was being Mrs Jack Benny.
For some strage reason i think kevin spacey looks like him
For some strange reason I don't find him funny
That was a time ago, when Americans were actually liked in Europe 😂😂😂
Getting some Kevin Spacey vibes...
19 a-holes out there.
It's the UK Jack, not England.
Where is London ...England
Where is Bournemouth..England
Jack is correct in saying England not the uk. Think it through next time
"I gotta leave right now!"
Where the heck was that old man gonna go. Just stay there and sit quietly. Sheesh.
Jack Benny was, you know, a comedian.
Milton Berle is better 🤷🏼♂️
