Featured reviews
Just watched this show in 2025 and it is a pleasure to see. I remember Jack Benny from when I was a kid and always enjoyed his persona of being portrayed as "mean" and his deadpan delivery.
Here many famous guests including Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra Lucille Ball, Bob Hope and Dinah Shore join him on a 20th anniversary special celebrating his TV work featuring many clips of famous stars that had been on his show over the years including Nat "King" Cole, Jimmy Stewart and many others. The show is interspersed with comedic sketches playing on his dry humour. Some of the humour has dated - much like The Sonny and Cher comedy show, but it's a great record of a great comic in his heyday with much to enjoy.
