One thing I hate is that since George was still working in the 90s (And in HIS 90s), more younger people remember him but Jack Benny died in '74, shortly after this broadcast and many people today don't know who Jack Benny was. We should all be sharing Jack Benny videos and telling friends and family about him. His stuff is still incredibly funny today.

I really love this episode. Not just for George's performance. It's beautiful and yet bittersweet hearing him talking about Jack Benny the way he does. A best friend who was like a brother to him. He spoke so endearingly about someone who was most likely the most important person in his life at that point. Unaware of the grief that would soon come. This video reminds me to appreciate the friends and loved ones I have because you never know how much time you have left to share with them. God bless Jack and George.
