On his TV show, Jack Benny plays a contestant on Groucho's "You Bet Your Life" Program. That's Irene Tedrow in between the two masters. This is just a treasure I have to share.

ummmm so this was funny back in the day? I'm glad comedy had evolved since then. (and anyone who negs this comment is just admitting their age or lack of seeing actual funny material).

Yes, "back in the day" you had to have a brain to make the comedic connection.

I recognize the actress, but cannot remember from where. Does anyone recall her and/or her name?

Her name was Irene Tedrow. I knew I wouldnt be able to get to sleep without looking that up. I cant name any show she was on but she was on everything I can remember.

Is this guy serious? I am personally glad that I am old enough to have seen these two geniuses at their height, and that I remember comedy when it was truly funny.
I think you ... ( 3 weeks ago by Crotchrot)
I think you actually have to know something about comedy to appreciate this bit. While there is something for everyone, there are at least 3 running Jack Benny gags that are addressed. His reputation as a cheapskate, his love of violins, and his reluctance to ever discuss his real age. This stuff is gold, Jerry, gold!

freezazoid: Will today's comedians be funny to your grandkids? Probably not without effort on their part. Similarly, you'll have to familiarize yourself with Jack Benny's personna if you want to "get" this routine, in which Groucho mainly plays the straight man for Jack. Discover and enjoy!

oh, please I spend my life dj'ing and everybody loves the music I play. One of my most favorited music on my page is the beatles. So you're saying the beatles are bad.... Okay. Let me guess that you're into big band sinatra and jazz.

Not only one of the longest running shows EVER, which transcended from radio to tv and back, but possibly the BEST. And totally about people talking to one man.

You bet. I'm also into My Bloody Valentine, Judas Priest, The Roots, Squarepusher, Tony Rice, Eddie Palmieri and Igor Stravinski to name a few.
At any rate, to say comedy has evolved is a stupid statement. There has been nothing new since Bruce, Carlin and Pryor. If you don't like this, maybe you should stick to Dane Cook.
thanks for sharing. ... ( 1 week ago by johnswackyworldblog)
thanks for sharing..and anybody who ditches this classic comedy bit doesnt know comedy! everything today has to be dirty for a laugh! why does it have to be always dirty? the comedy of today?
THIS is Classic! ( 1 week ago by bullcur)
THIS is Classic!
oh, pleeeeaaase! ... ( 1 week ago by freezazoid)
oh, pleeeeaaase! Dane cook?! Try Bill Hicks and David Cross... Want me to show you clips of Carlin ripping off Bill Hicks? No, I didn't think so. Look, I get how this is pretty funny if you get all of the Benny inside jokes... But inside jokes don't hold up 50 years later. As for musical taste... you definitely have some good ones in there, but don't judge my musical taste based upon my first few youtube vids...I know lots of shit you don't and you probably know lot's of shit I don't.

Fair enough on the music. As far as this clip goes, I find it odd that the overwhelming majority of comments are positive and supportive, yet you felt you just had to log in and let us all know you didn't think it was funny. What's the point?

I can get into a bastardy mood when I'm drinking and watching youtube... and I enjoy leaving comments. I'm not trying to personally offend anyone. Just my opinion on comedy. But again, I can see how if you get all the inside jokes this is probably pretty funny. Don't mind me, I just like being a jerk and talking shit.

Irene Tedrow was a great actress! I always liked her in everything I saw her in!
