In Reply to: Jack Benny posted by petew on January 22, 2002 at 15:00:55:
petew, I Loved your homage to Jack Benny.It's amazing how much he's forgotten today, but all people have to do is turn on "Frasier" and watch Kelsey Grammar and see how he is just one big affectation of Jack Benny...right down to the mannerisms, and comic timing. I wonder if he has given credit where credit is due ?
Follow Ups:
I hadn't realized it, but now that you make the point I see it clearly. And all this time I'd thought Mr. Grammar so brilliant (well, he is that).It's a shame we don't see enough of the old masters anymore.
Did you catch the Mark Twain thing on PBS? I loved the bit where Twain comes out to do his monologue and says nothing.
You have to be born with that kind of comic brilliance.
Where is Hal Holbrook? Is his Mark Twain monologue still available?
In a recent interview, Kelsey Grammer talked about how he specifically "does" Jack Benny at moments during the show. He pointed out that his manerisms are often a number of other people as well including Betty Davis.
