- This episode of the Jack Benny Program, originally aired 26 Feb 1961, begins with Jack and Rochester cleaning the attic, but unfortunately Jack keeps finding excuses for keeping everything. Don Wilson arrives at the house and Rochester is left alone in the attic, having found a box of papers that includes Jack's application to medical school. Rochester daydreams about what Jack would have been like as a surgeon.
Dr. Von Struneheimer, played by Mel Blanc, comes from Vienna to watch the great Dr. Benny perform an appendectomy. After numerous mix-ups, the imminent surgeon gets to work.
Jack and Mel are still more funny and talented then any SNL sketch ever and I’ve been watching SNL since 75
i think the reason they never put these on in re-runs when i was a kid (at least where i lived) was that it makes everything else look so much worse. I didn't find this show until recently and it's amazing how well it still holds up
The ones with Jack and Bob Hope are just the best. the way they ad lib and break character, theres noone today that compares..
SNL has not been funny in years.That sacreligious Christmas sketch was disgusting.If they a sketch mocking Islam that way people would have been killed overit
Benny and Bugs Bunny as surgeons. It can't get any funnier.
LMAO
Jack and Mel were close friends. When Mel had the car accident he spent months in a coma, and everyone thaught he would'nt make it, Jack visited him every single day and when all hope was lost he addressed Mel as if he was Bugs Bunny. Mel answered. Hu, what's up Doc? And it was the beginning of a spectacular recovery. Talk of good friends...
That makes a good story but it was his doctor who did that

mel blanc...the man of a million voices...he had an amazing voice range..
The man of thousand voices.
I loved these old comedy TV episodes. They are funnier than our present comedy shows.
Rafael Madrigal true
I couldn't agree more
There is no comparison. These were great comedians with great writers. They knew their craft and had real talent.
RMPsumm
There is a lot of truth in those sentiments. Jack is laughing at himself. His stinginess & age of 39.
Jack would also spend lavishly on his wife, Mary- who had VERY expensive tastes. Once, his writers came to his house for a meeting, and in the living room, they noticed a weathered, "beaten up" cobbler's bench, which Mary bought as an "antique". As they stared at it, Jack confessed to his writers, "Fellas, you either have to be awfully poor, or awfully rich, to have one of these in your house".

He was referring to his wife.
This originally aired during the period (1960-'62) when Jack had State Farm Insurance, Lipton Tea, and Lux Soap as his alternate sponsors; his "Lucky Strike" era ended in 1959. During the original broadcast, around 7:19, Don Wilson delivered an "integrated" comedy commercial for one of those sponsors (how do you do it in an attic setting?), and exited. At 23:31, Jack originally said, "Good night, folks, and I'll see you next week for [my alternate sponsor]."
Thank you for this video. Jack was always my favorite, and every show with the same 4 writers. The funniest show ever!
Classic time in Jack Benny life in television the 60s brought a different air to his career
After his weekly series ended,he did several specials on NBC.The one that stands out in my mind is one called Carnival Nights that aired in either 1967 or 8.Among his guests were HOF pitcher Don Drysdale and musical guests Paul Revere and the Raiders.
Phonograph is no good. Why? I bought a new IPod. Okay what is a IPod? My IPod is full of music, and no scratches.
On the live (and later, taped) shows, Jack usually delivered more topical jokes and references. For the ones on film [usually staged without a live audience, although several in the early 1960's DID have one in attendance], he was advised to avoid mentioning anything "current", so that those episodes would have a longer "shelf life" in syndication (and eventually, cable).
nice pants, a shirt, tie and sweater vest to clean out the attic. and that's one tall attic.
chieftp yeah, good thing Jack didn’t notice cause he’d take in a tenant
Even in low-res overshadowed by Jack Benny, Joan Tabor is a heartbreakingly beautiful nurse.
@axeamnas Yeah, Jack once said he didn't know how to spend money, and he was famous in the local area for giving huge tips (places like Cirro's). He had trouble whenever he gave a tip because he always had to give a lot more than was considered normal, so people would believe he wasn't a Maxwell-driving miser :)
I'm not sure if this was a filmed or live episode because the filmed ones usually don't have opening monologues and the audience plays a bigger role. But it looks like a live show too...
He was actually VERY generous. Actors today tell us how bad we are, whereas many from Jacks generation knew from living thru the depression that helping others was an incredible thing.
I like how Don Wilson always shows up at Jack's house for no good reason.
Bit does this bring back memories.Times certainly have changed.What a shame,
I just went through this whole process...with the same results. Some things never change. lol
brilliant ending. truly one of the greatest comedians ever
Kalan Red stone THE BEST!!! :)
He certainly was an original in his time and a natural at comedy.
great writing.
Carmichael the polar bear sent to Jack for his birthday during Jack’s radio show. Rochester, every once in a while, would ask Jack, “What happened to the Gas Man?”😀. The Gas Man came to Jack’s basement to read the meter, and was never seen again!!
This was the first episode of the Jack Benny show i ever saw and i'm hooked i wonder if Jack was anything like his character when it comes to trying to save a buck. If so he'd probably make the perfect secretary of treasury. my papa told me that he was a big spender in real life tho.
I love Jack and Rodchester. Blanc's was great in this. Which i hope i don't run into a doctor like Jack as far as the operating room tho bed side manner now that might be another story
Laundry in the OR...classic comedy 😊😄
Lol!
Keeping that kid must have costed the hospital a lot more than $200.
17:20 "You know, the patient expects you to work all the time when they pay you by the hour." Classic.
I heard this was inspired by a rare dramatic role Jack Benny did.He olayed a doctor in an anthology show.
The overall image is degrading over time. Is there a way to reduce this?
O-I love Jack....but I'm wondering about this show as I had a brain surgery.....
😂😅
I bet it was actually kind of dangerous doing this scene with that inflating rubber bladder. Haha
thanks for uploading
Jack Benny as a hoarder, LOLOLOL.
One of the nurses looked like Marjorie Lord (of the Danny Thomas Show).
Another great Benny show. No one like him before or since.
Nurses dressed in white in those days.
SNL should look back 70 years to find out what funny is.
w.o.w.
How come Rochester is not listed in the cast.
Listing was based on height back then.
He was always listed in the radio show.
Jack's regular crew isn't listed, just the guest stars. Contrary to popular belief today, Mel Blanc wasn't part of Jack's entourage. He was just a frequent guest star. Jack's regulars, people who developed his radio show with him and followed him to television were-- Don Wilson, Eddie Rochester Anderson, Mary Livingstone, Dennis Day, and Bob Crosby. Jack Benny, and those five people, basically invented the "sitcom" as we know it today.
P
This is indeed a filmed episode, 'jenny' (produced about a month before Mel Blanc's January 1961 automobile accident, which left him in a full body cast for over a year).
What is that carabidis? Or whatever they are talking about at the end?
chiropodist - hand and foot doctor
What year?
1961
Such a good portrayal of those egomaniacs known as "doctors" :(
This sketch started ok and it ended really stupid.
it's like a predecessor to curb your enthusiasm
