Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - Jack Benny Show "A New Years Fantasy (12-31-50)"
b'Benny was remarkable in many ways, but in none\\nmore than this: he built a character of every sour ingredient in life, but\\nsomehow his real personality trickled through and made it wonderful. Would a\\nreal miser act that way before 30 million people each week? The Benny of the\\nair was a fraud, a myth, a creation. It should have surprised no one to learn \\xe2\\nafter years of toupee jokes that played so well into the vanity theme \\xe2 that\\nBenny never wore one. He overtipped in restaurants, gave away his time in\\ncountless benefit performances, and was lavish in his praise of almost everyone\\nelse.'
