Jack Benny Texaco Gas Commercial

A great set up for Jack Benny and a Texaco Gas commercial on his network show. If you know the date of the show let me know.

It's a crying shame how Jack Benny is mostly unknown today. He was a real comedic genius in his reactions and timing, and his writers were the best in the business at the time.

I used to watch the Jack Benny Show reruns when I was about 10 or so. I always liked his exasperated "Can you believe this?" look at the 4th wall. His reactions to Mel Blanc's "Si, Sy, Sue" bit were hilarious!

This was or 1964 or 1965. NBC was the color broadcast pioneer and Benny's show was on NBC those two years (Benny was on CBS in black and white up to 1963). I was a little kid and would sneak out of bed and into the tv room to watch this show. Jack Benny is probably my favorite comedian of all time. Fun fact Lucille Ball was one of his best friends.

This clip is from one of his "farewell specials" between 1971-74.

Let us remember that when Benny signed a new contract, Eddie Rochester HAD to be in on the deal or all bets were off. Eddie played the straight man in their comedy duos.

I've never understood why anybody, of any party, singles out any American president, of any party, to blame or credit for the price of gasoline or the rate of taxes. It's like some strange lack of understanding of economics and the Constitution.
