Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - Jack Benny Show "A New Years Fantasy (12-31-50)"

Benny was remarkable in many ways, but in none
more than this: he built a character of every sour ingredient in life, but
somehow his real personality trickled through and made it wonderful. Would a
real miser act that way before 30 million people each week? The Benny of the
air was a fraud, a myth, a creation. It should have surprised no one to learn â
after years of toupee jokes that played so well into the vanity theme â that
Benny never wore one. He overtipped in restaurants, gave away his time in
countless benefit performances, and was lavish in his praise of almost everyone
else.
