Jack Benny – The English Butler. 451223

A black and white photograph of Jack Benny, a man in a suit and tie, standing against a plain background. He is looking off to the side with a slight smile on his face, and his hands are clasped in front of him. Benny was a comedian and actor, best known for his radio and television shows in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. The photograph conveys a sense of classic Hollywood glamour and style, with Benny's sharp features and piercing blue eyes on prominent display.

At Jack’s house, Rochester and Mary help with getting his Christmas party ready. The cast are finalizing the “Why I Hate Jack Benny” contest, and have a few fan letters to read. Jack corrects the eating habits of Don and Phil, then the scene shifts to the Coleman’s house.

Hundreds of episodes of Old Time Radio Christmas Cheer!

Ronald and Bonita Coleman complain about the latest antics of their neighbor. Phil plays some transitional music, then we find Jack in the middle of a violin lesson. Jack has a specially hired English butler to help with the festivities. Will the Coleman’s be impressed by the effort Jack has tossed into his party? The jokes and small talk are broken only for Larry Stevens, who sings a closing medley of Christmas Carols.
