Jack Benny's Radio Years

Jack Benny was probably one of the greatest comedians of all time!! He spent 20 years in Vaudeville and 23 years in radio (along with another 15 years on TV). His over 600 radio shows provided weekly humor and joy to millions. He was a huge innovator and brought much of what we are all so used to in entertainment today. His wonderful radio cast included Rochester, Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Don Wilson, and Dennis Day often augmented by Mel Blanc, Andy Devine and many others. This presentation will focus on Jack's radio years and will include a number of audio clips from his show that will be sure to bring back fond and wonderful memories.
