And now, around the world, the Jack Benny program! Benny, with Barry Livingston Rochester, Dennis A. Bob Crosby, and your truly dog-welp! Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to take you back a week to last Sunday, where Jack Benny has just finished his television show.
And as usual after a TV show, Jack likes to relax by walking home. Gee, I feel good. I don't know why I was so nervous all through my television show. Everyone was so good. Johnny Ray was just sensational. The audience was great too.
Not often you get a happy audience like that. You know they applauded and laughed at everything. That was a good idea, Remley had, of serving them martinis before the show. You know I like being on television.
The second hardly wait till I appear on the omnibus program. It would be nice to do something dramatic for a change. See, I've accomplished a lot for a man of 39. I wonder how old I really am.
Let's see, I've been in show business 35 years, and I was four when I started. That's right, 39. Next year I'll have been in show business 36 years. That'll make me three when I started.
See, three years from now I'm going to be in trouble. What? What's the difference as long as you feel? Uh-oh, there's a bus. Hey, wait, wait for me! Smart Alec Driver. That's a third one. He snatched off my head this month.
I didn't want to ride the bus anyway. So depressing to put a dime in a machine and not have anything come out. I'm gonna say, that'd be a good joke for my radio show next week.
