Love this. It's great comedy. Far better than what we have today.
Jack Benny is tied with Bob Hope as my all-time favorite comedian, and I love any show that features Frank Nelson.
"You walked in here, Lotus Blossom, nobody dragged you!"
Thanks for leaving the commercials
in.....its history .
I love these. Makes me miss a time that was years before I was even born 🤷♀️
Sure is making Christmas week feel special, happy New Year
23:59 Obviously Mel missed, because he was back year after year. :-)
Yeah. Whatever that means.
@@veronicas19 Listen to the episode and hear what Mel does when Jack has pushed him to the absolute limit.
@MaskedMan66 Is Mel the clerk?
@@veronicas19 I'm not asking this to be rude, but are you new to this show? Mel Blanc was indeed the clerk, as well as the voices of nearly all the Looney Tunes characters. A bit of a legend, this chap! 🙂
@MaskedMan66 yes, I haven't listened in years.
Thank you for sharing these great shows!
😊😊😊👍✌
Have you ever got a reply?
What is meant by "Jack Benny vs Christmas shopping"? I always thought "vs" meant versus. So when I read the title, I imagine Jack Benny fighting Christmas. Kind of anti-Semitic, eh? Does "vs" mean something different these days?
What??
When you use it that way as the title suggests, it means he can't handle it or he put that to be funny, but he isn't physically fighting Christmas shopping. He put it there because of how much jack Benny goes to through this all, especially when he is yelled at. Need a further explanation?
