	Radio Gives Way to Television (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Benny was able to last in this medium, when so many of his contemporaries could not, because, way back in his early incarnations in radio, he strayed from his vaudeville roots.
		Benny also knew that television was difficult work and got producers (Irving Fein) and writers (the same as from his radio show) who he knew he could trust.
		Benny must have taken that advice to heart because according to Jack Gould, by his third episode, he broke completely with his radio past and came up with a solid half hour that was "good television.

		Benny himself credited comedy to seven principals: "The joke, exaggeration, ridicule, ignorance, surprise, the pun and, finally, the comic situation", whereupon he incorporated all seven in the one act.
		Those glorious moments when Benny, offended, looked into the middle distance to his left, his mouth set in a straight line, saying nothing for about 30 seconds.
		Eventually (perhaps he was utilising the Benny silence in life), he came out, wearing glasses and overcoat and looking weary.

		Comedian Jack Benny had several ongoing schticks in his wildly popular radio and television programs of the 1940's and '50's: his age, perennially 39; his miserliness; his screechy violin playing; and his unsuccessful movie career, especially the film which he considered his biggest bomb.
		The fanciful story begins when Benny, a trumpet player in a band, falls asleep and dreams that he's an archangel sent to earth to blow his horn at midnight, signalling the end of the world.
		Benny misses his cue, and spends the rest of the film trying to evade a pair of fallen angels who are out to stop him.

		He went through all the things that any one of us face: anger, happiness, insecurity, longing for friendship, etc. after reading parts of the book, i was surprised that Jack, in real life, was prone to bouts of lonliness.
		If Jack had become an angry "i hate my youthful competition" type in his later years like Milton Berle at times appeared to be; such devotion, respect, and love for Jack wouldn't be as abundant as it's been nearly 30 years AFTER his death {he died in December 1974}.
		The author, Irving A. Fein, did an excellent job of portraying Benny's life and expressing his unique sense of humor.
