	Benny, Jack
		Jack Benny was among the most beloved American entertainers of the 20th century.
		Benny played a fictional version of himself, Jack Benny the television star, and the program often revolved around preparation for the next week's show--involving interactions between Benny and a regular stable of characters that included the program's announcer, Don Wilson, and its resident crooner, Dennis Day.
		Benny had shed his Jewish identity along with his Jewish name on his way from vaudeville to radio.

		The shows have aged well...as a matter of fact, the show was over nearly 10 years before I was born, but thanks to video, I can sit with my Grandmother and she will explain to me the political and sports related news of the 50/60's so we both can enjoy the show.
		Jack and his gang were talented enough, the jokes funny enough, and the characters endearing enough that the TV version was certainly not a total wash. But it was never more than an imperfect translation of a perfect radio show.
		Benny was a comic genius and had the good sense to surround himself with a great cast of characters whom he allowed to shine rather than going for all the laughs himself.

	The Jack Benny Show
		Some of the things that the character played by Jack Benny on the show is best known for are his terrible Violin playing, his never getting older than 39 years old and his "penny pinching" demeanor.
		Jack once appeared on, "The $64,000 Question." Benny quit after answering only one question and took home $64.00 because he was so afraid of losing it.
		Jack Benny was born "Benjamin Kubelsky" on February 14, 1894 in Chicago, Illinois.

	The Jack Benny Program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Jack Benny Program was a television comedy series telecast on CBS from October 29, 1950, to September 15, 1964, and on NBC from September 25, 1964, to September 10, 1965.
		The show was a seamless continuation of Benny's radio program, employing many of the same players, the same approach to situation comedy and some of the same scripts.
		The suffix "Program" instead of "Show" was also a carryover from radio, where "program" rather than "show" was used frequently for presentations in the non-visual medium.

		Jack Benny was perhaps unique among major radio stars in that he hardly had a funny line in most of his shows.
		Jack's many side businesses, including doing the laundry for his neighbors, selling sandwiches on cross country train trips, renting out his back yard as a parking lot, renting towels to people who use his pool, selling Christmas cards; and playing violin and parking cars at weddings.
		Perhaps the most frequent running gag that showed up in nearly every radio episode were the interruptions; the phone was always ringing (usually this was Rochester reporting on some disaster at Jack's house); or there was a knock at the door, which was sometimes a messenger (doomed to a meagre tip) or heckler.
