As a fan of Jack Benny, I wanna say that it's not true that when he would go out with friends, he never picked up a check! He picked up checks all the time....... And passed them to other people! 🤣🤣
Wow. How old is this? How long a go did Jack Benny, Dean Martin and George Burns die? Jack Benny died In 1974. Dean Martin died in 1995 and George Burns died in 1996.(100 Years Old) Rich Little is still alive and he is 79. He is the most fantastic impersonator of all time. No doubt!!!
I'm a big fan of comedians - men and women - and have been since I'm a kid. But seriously...this was a time when they were ALL just trying to make us laugh. Period. Good stuff.
Oh my! So much golden age stars that will never be duplicated today. They had more talent in their little finger and could do more in a few minutes, what would take a lifetime for a celebrity to do today. Those people were real stars. No comparison. They have no equal. Celebs today are not even in the same league as those greats of show business.
Rich at 79 is still performing in Vegas. I can't imagine them doing celebrity roasts on tv in 2017. There's no one talented or funny enough, there's not enough real stars, and most of the so-called stars of today are just caricatures of themselves... with exceptions of course.
+Steve Darius It was from the joke of what was the mayor of NY was going to do with $4½ billion, buy Chicago? He said "Gee, I still like buy Chicago", referring to the joke.
God, give Rich an award just for having to sit next to George Burns smoking like a train for two hours. Rich says it himself. Just utterly selfish as hell, even for the early 70s when, we were always told, "Everyone smoked ". Despite knowing it was lethal. You may not have had the cancer gene, George, but Rich might. Hope he doesn't. Burns was such a jerk.
