The "Rabbit season/Duck season" episode of Looney Tunes where Daffy is trying to convince Elmer Fudd that it's rabbit season. The part where Daffy dresses up like Bugs, and Bugs like Daffy, he does each characters voice, doing an impression of the other, and had an argument between the two. He did it without messing up in *ONE TAKE!* And he also played Elmer Fudd!

Wait... He's doing his Bugs Bunny voice with a Hispanic accent. He was right... You can get oodles of different characters just by doing one voice in different accents.

I love how Mel just stares at Jack, as if to say, "C'mon, keep a straight face, I dare ya!"

In the 40' I was a slot nose kid who always tuned Jack on our huge radio. We had never heard of TV. He

Good stuff! All Jack Benny had to do for a laugh is just start out into space in response to the humerous goings on. He was the ultimate straight man.

We owe Jack Benny and his stalwarts on the show our eternal gratitude. Oh, to have comedians these days with the insight and compassion of Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, Bob Newhart and others of that time. True comedy!

Part of the reason for Jack's deadpan expression in this sketch was to prevent him from laughing uncontrollably. You could see it on his face every time he and Mel did this routine, or a variation.

Yep, you can see it happen in the "Si, Sy, Sue" airport sketch, as Jack Benny cracks up for a while. It was also known that Mel would literally try every time to make Jack crack up backstage by giving him the "Si, Sy, Sue" stare.

In the ENTIRE History of Comedy, from the First Comedian, Og, standing outside his cave entertaining the rest of the tribe, to the Present Day, NOBODY Ever did dead-pan as well as Jack Benny (although I DO recall a Johnny Carson show when he and Jack Webb each did his best to break up the other one!). Benny was in a league by himself. A Great Man, indeed.

Whoever said that Jack Benny was a racist is a bold face liar.Jack Benny was never racist and he made very sure where ever he went Eddie "Rochester"Anderson was there.Rochester died a very wealthy man because of Jack Benny made sure he ivested his money wisely.Jack Benny was a great man.

Rochester died in the motion picture country home. I think there was an income "ceiling" for people who lived at the home. I don't think very many multi-millionaires lived there. eddie Anderson may have HAD money at one time. however, I don't think he had all that much money when he died........

Indeed, there were numerous times when Jack's entourage would show up at a hotel only to be told that Rochester couldn't stay there; Jack's standard response was, "Then neither can the rest of us." He was a civil rights activist 15 years before there was a civil rights movement...

+Byron Benguche' you are so right--and if you notice Rochester's scenes with Jack were never condescending master/servant--in fact Rochester many times got better half of Jack's often infantile ways. By the way, Jack refused to perform, I believe, in places where Eddie could not book in the same hotel--They were friends as well as co-workers.
