The comedian’s comedian and star of Vaudeville, film, radio and television, Jack Benny was loved by millions. Jack could get more laughs with silence than most comedians get with ten rapid fire jokes. You’ll see why with some classic Jack Benny television episodes in this original lecture and also watch Jack spread the laughs out among the cast, something rare for most comedians. You will see him rise from his humble Jewish Orthodox beginnings to reach the height of television popularity. Was he really cheap? Was he really vain? Was he really self-centered? Was he a lousy violinist? Was he really only thirty nine years old for forty years? Of course not, but he played them all so well that people thought all those personality traits were true! And that is why he was so well loved. He made fun of himself and made you laugh while he did it. An autograph, memorabilia (including rare World War Two magazine articles) and book display is included.
