Rochester was another of a few Actors who were most beloved by his Fans, and, friends...As a kid I loved his method of acting because he was a Master at his craft as well as a good, decent man!

Anderson was a riot. Benny made it clear that he reversed the role of Rochester from servant to master. It was Rochester who ruled the roost at Benny's TV home. Thanks to Benny's unfailing support, Anderson became very wealthy, owning a lot of LA real estate. No one cried harder at Benny's funeral than Eddie Anderson. What a guy!

Rochester owned the house I live in today. It’s in LA where many black Hollywood celebs lived. He bought it from a man that was Nat King Coles limo driver. Rochester did not live there. His x-wife and family did.

Jack portrayed himself as a money-grubbing skinflint, but, in reality, he made "Rochester" a very wealthy man.

Rochester sang on many episodes but I have been looking for This one for quite a while because I didn't remember whixh episode had it. He strained his voice selling newspapers yet he was a much loved character in the show. He was One of the main characters who was with Jack in his radio program due many years.

The actor that portrayed Rochester is Eddie Anderson Anderson's vocal cords were ruptured when he was a youngster selling newspapers in San Francisco. The newsboys believed those who were able to shout the loudest sold the most papers. The permanent damage done to his vocal cords left him with the gravel voice familiar to both radio listeners and television viewers over a course of more than twenty years.

It's easy to look at this and see a dated stereotype. Look again though. Jack handed the stage over to Eddie Anderson (Rochester) and let him own it. Consider also, when a hotel wouldn't rent a room to Eddie, Jack took his entire group out of that hotel to one that would take him.

This is from a live episode that originally aired on April 19, 1953. If you're aware of the various running gags on Jack's radio and TV shows, you'll know that he often earned "extra money" by providing most of Los Angeles with laundry service, window cleaning services, and any money-making opportunities he could think of- usually involving Rochester in them. In this episode, we're led to believe Benny also operates a "lunch wagon", selling food to his hungry production crew at CBS.

At first I thought it a little insulting that they call him 'Rochester' and not, at least Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson, which is his name. But then I got to thinking how many years he did Rochester on radio and TV, his impeccable comic timing to match Benny line for line... he BECAME the part of Rochester as much as Harpo became Harpo.
