This episode of the Jack Benny Program, originally aired 26 Feb 1961, begins with Jack and Rochester cleaning the attic, but unfortunately Jack keeps finding excuses for keeping everything. Don Wilson arrives at the house and Rochester is left alone in the attic, having found a box of papers that includes Jack's application to medical school. Rochester daydreams about what Jack would have been like as a surgeon.
Dr. Von Struneheimer, played by Mel Blanc, comes from Vienna to watch the great Dr. Benny perform an appendectomy. After numerous mix-ups, the imminent surgeon gets to work.

Jack and Mel are still more funny and talented then any SNL sketch ever and I’ve been watching SNL since 75

@bradybrapples 2 года назад

i think the reason they never put these on in re-runs when i was a kid (at least where i lived) was that it makes everything else look so much worse. I didn't find this show until recently and it's amazing how well it still holds up

@joshearhart6142 4 месяца назад

The ones with Jack and Bob Hope are just the best. the way they ad lib and break character, theres noone today that compares..

SNL has not been funny in years.That sacreligious Christmas sketch was disgusting.If they a sketch mocking Islam that way people would have been killed overit

Benny and Bugs Bunny as surgeons. It can't get any funnier. LMAO

I loved these old comedy TV episodes. They are funnier than our present comedy shows.

There is no comparison. These were great comedians with great writers. They knew their craft and had real talent.

There is a lot of truth in those sentiments. Jack is laughing at himself. His stinginess & age of 39.

Even in low-res overshadowed by Jack Benny, Joan Tabor is a heartbreakingly beautiful nurse.

This originally aired during the period (1960-'62) when Jack had State Farm Insurance, Lipton Tea, and Lux Soap as his alternate sponsors; his "Lucky Strike" era ended in 1959. During the original broadcast, around 7:19, Don Wilson delivered an "integrated" comedy commercial for one of those sponsors (how do you do it in an attic setting?), and exited. At 23:31, Jack originally said, "Good night, folks, and I'll see you next week for [my alternate sponsor]."

Thank you for this video. Jack was always my favorite, and every show with the same 4 writers. The funniest show ever!

He certainly was an original in his time and a natural at comedy.

great writing.

I like how Don Wilson always shows up at Jack's house for no good reason.

@fromthesidelines 12 лет назад

Jack would also spend lavishly on his wife, Mary- who had VERY expensive tastes. Once, his writers came to his house for a meeting, and in the living room, they noticed a weathered, "beaten up" cobbler's bench, which Mary bought as an "antique". As they stared at it, Jack confessed to his writers, "Fellas, you either have to be awfully poor, or awfully rich, to have one of these in your house".

Bit does this bring back memories.Times certainly have changed.What a shame,

@mocho477 11 лет назад

Jack and Mel were close friends. When Mel had the car accident he spent months in a coma, and everyone thaught he would'nt make it, Jack visited him every single day and when all hope was lost he addressed Mel as if he was Bugs Bunny. Mel answered. Hu, what's up Doc? And it was the beginning of a spectacular recovery. Talk of good friends...

@katiezee2 5 лет назад

That makes a good story but it was his doctor who did that

@David-yw2lv Месяц назад

I heard this was inspired by a rare dramatic role Jack Benny did.He olayed a doctor in an anthology show.

@MrJoeybabe25 4 года назад

One of the nurses looked like Marjorie Lord (of the Danny Thomas Show). Another great Benny show. No one like him before or since.

I bet it was actually kind of dangerous doing this scene with that inflating rubber bladder. Haha

@richardbullis6263 5 лет назад

How come Rochester is not listed in the cast.

@pamelacass9642 5 лет назад

Listing was based on height back then.

@SRP3572 4 года назад

He was always listed in the radio show.

@williamanthony9090 2 года назад

Jack's regular crew isn't listed, just the guest stars. Contrary to popular belief today, Mel Blanc wasn't part of Jack's entourage. He was just a frequent guest star. Jack's regulars, people who developed his radio show with him and followed him to television were-- Don Wilson, Eddie Rochester Anderson, Mary Livingstone, Dennis Day, and Bob Crosby. Jack Benny, and those five people, basically invented the "sitcom" as we know it today.

The man of thousand voices.

@fromthesidelines 12 лет назад

On the live (and later, taped) shows, Jack usually delivered more topical jokes and references. For the ones on film [usually staged without a live audience, although several in the early 1960's DID have one in attendance], he was advised to avoid mentioning anything "current", so that those episodes would have a longer "shelf life" in syndication (and eventually, cable).

nice pants, a shirt, tie and sweater vest to clean out the attic. and that's one tall attic.

@Webbgurl2000 6 лет назад

@dreammerchant4442 4 года назад

Classic time in Jack Benny life in television the 60s brought a different air to his career

@David-yw2lv Месяц назад

After his weekly series ended,he did several specials on NBC.The one that stands out in my mind is one called Carnival Nights that aired in either 1967 or 8.Among his guests were HOF pitcher Don Drysdale and musical guests Paul Revere and the Raiders.

@JennyLi 13 лет назад

@axeamnas Yeah, Jack once said he didn't know how to spend money, and he was famous in the local area for giving huge tips (places like Cirro's). He had trouble whenever he gave a tip because he always had to give a lot more than was considered normal, so people would believe he wasn't a Maxwell-driving miser :) I'm not sure if this was a filmed or live episode because the filmed ones usually don't have opening monologues and the audience plays a bigger role. But it looks like a live show too...

@TERoss-jk9ny 4 года назад

He was actually VERY generous. Actors today tell us how bad we are, whereas many from Jacks generation knew from living thru the depression that helping others was an incredible thing.

@annab6726 4 года назад

I just went through this whole process...with the same results. Some things never change. lol

@axeamnas 13 лет назад

This was the first episode of the Jack Benny show i ever saw and i'm hooked i wonder if Jack was anything like his character when it comes to trying to save a buck. If so he'd probably make the perfect secretary of treasury. my papa told me that he was a big spender in real life tho. I love Jack and Rodchester. Blanc's was great in this. Which i hope i don't run into a doctor like Jack as far as the operating room tho bed side manner now that might be another story

@danieldawg100 3 года назад

Carmichael the polar bear sent to Jack for his birthday during Jack’s radio show. Rochester, every once in a while, would ask Jack, “What happened to the Gas Man?”😀. The Gas Man came to Jack’s basement to read the meter, and was never seen again!!

Keeping that kid must have costed the hospital a lot more than $200.

SNL should look back 70 years to find out what funny is.

@fromthesidelines 12 лет назад

This is indeed a filmed episode, 'jenny' (produced about a month before Mel Blanc's January 1961 automobile accident, which left him in a full body cast for over a year).
