Jack Benny - CBS News Tribute/Obituary (Dec 29, 1974)

Today being the anniversary of Jack Benny's birth, I figured I'd re-post this wonderful tribute presented by CBS News upon Jack's unexpected death from pancreatic cancer the day after Christmas, 1974. Hosted by Charles Kuralt, this is a respectful and well done tribute/obituary to a masterful performer and universally beloved human being. Includes a good deal of clips from the Jack Benny radio show and television show, as well as interviews with cast members Frank Nelson, Don Wilson and Mel Blanc. Also included, and not available anywhere else that I'm aware of, is film footage of Benny's funeral (32:47). Among the mourners interviewed briefly are Danny Thomas, Ronald & Nancy Reagan, and Milton Berle. There's even a priceless record of Bob Hope's deeply moving eulogy (35:28)-- George Burns was so overcome with grief he was unable to utter more than a few words before needing to be escorted from podium. A show both funny and emotionally moving-- just the kind of tribute a giant like Jack Benny deserved. NOTE: This used to be posted to my long defunct Vintage Comedy Vault channel, which was unceremoniously deleted by YouTube last year due to ridiculous copyright problems over other videos. While this isn't strictly speaking a WML video, Jack was a three time mystery guest, along with mystery guest appearances by Dennis Day and Eddie "Rochester" Anderson. I hope folks don't mind my adding this video to the WML channel, but I want to make it as easily findable as possible, and I know there's LOTS of overlap between fans of WML and fans of Jack Benny! --------------------------- Please click here to subscribe to the WML channel if you haven't already-- you'll find the complete CBS series already posted, and you'll be able to follow along the discussions on the weekday "rerun" videos:    / @whatsmyline   Join our Facebook group for WML-- great discussions, photos, etc, and great people!   / 728471287199862
