One of the longest running and most successful comedies in the history of radio, The Jack Benny Show was loosely organised as a situation comedy. Often beginning with an opening period of repartee among cast members, it continued with a comic skit featuring many of the supporting characters who became household names. The humour is as fresh as the day it was written, the timing of the crew a marvel of the medium. Jack Benny was a total delight and his legacy will always be remembered.
