RIP Jack Benny (February 14, 1894 - December 26, 1974), aged 80 And RIP George Burns (January 20, 1896 - March 9, 1996), aged 100 You both will be remembered as legends.
How can there possibly be 7 dislikes on this? These people obviously don't appreciate something that is seriously lacking in the entertainment industry today......TALENT!!!!!
They were supposed to be in The Sunshine Boys together, but unfortunately Jack died before filming and Walter Matthau took his place (and he was great also)
Walter Matthau didn't take Jack Benny's place. It was George Burns who replaced Jack Benny because Benny got sick with a disease (I don't have the exact name of the disease.) that would eventually kill him.
@@ralmcg As I recall, Red Skelton was originally cast to play the role that went to Walter Matthau. Skelton balked at the language at the "Smith & Dale" sketch at the end - putz comes to mind - and the bawdy sequences with the nurse. It did work out. It's a priceless film.

i taught them ALL everything they know and all i got was this lousy t-shirt. for some more great comedy watch the "burns and allen" tv show and the "jack benny program" from the 50s.
