Jack Benny Interview

And here he is, Fred Allen in person. Thank you very much. You notice the great difference when I take a bow, Harry, between my bow and the Hollywood Canadian bow. My hair doesn't come off the nose.

But thank you and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. And thank you, Mr. Vonsell, for that semi-derogatory introduction. Oh, well, I was only kidding. Fred, you know, having a little fun. Oh, you were now, since they're always having a little fun, Harry.

Well I guess that's radio. The announcers have the fun and the comedians have the worry. Oh no, now wait a minute Fred, you can't prove that. I can't, hey. Now look Harry, did you ever compare the announcers and the comedians on the different radio programs?

Did you ever see Don Wilson? Not all of him Fred, no. Well that proves my point. You can't see all of Don Wilson in one look. He looks like the Hollywood Bowl with a vest on it.

Yes, Don is pretty stoked. Stow, Wilson has so many double chins, Harry. He looks as though he's peeking over a skin, Venetian blind. On the other hand... Friends of Benny, I see. On the other hand...

On the... So good radio problem, which came first the egg of the commercial. On the other hand, on the other hand Harry, speaking about comedians and announcements, did you ever take a look at the comedian on the Don Wilson program that Jake, Jake something? Have you ever taken a gander at him? No Fred, what does

that fellow comedian look like? Have you ever seen one of those pictures send this boy to camp? Yes, I've seen them. Well, this fellow looks like the negative. Yes, it's the same on every program. Now take the Bob Hope show. Bill Goodwin is the picture of health.
