Description
Celebrated comedian Jack Benny played a fictional version of himself on the classic The Jack Benny Show, revealing his brilliant comedic timing and wit.
With more than 15 seasons on both CBS (1950-64) and NBC (1964-65), the program survives as the most durable sitcom in TV history, and his guest list was one of the best in the business. THE BEST OF THE JACK BENNY SHOW showcases 13 of Benny's memorable episodes, with public-television-friendly guests culled from a variety of years including Tennessee Ernie Ford (from 1953); Lawrence Welk, Bob Hope, Carol Burnett, Rita Moreno, Frankie Avalon and Connie Francis (all from 1954); Johnny Carson and Nat King Cole (from 1955); and Andy Williams, Lucille Ball and The Kingston Trio (from 1956).
