Jack Benny Show

Jack Benny Show by Josefsberg, Milt. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780870003479.

Forward by Bob Hope: To paraphrase an old saying in show-business terms, one might say no comedian is a superstar to his writers. Producing a top comedy show requires the concerted efforts of individual talents which are coordinated by the comedian, who must decide what to use and what not to use. This often leads to tension and hurt pride unless that comedian is so respected and inspires such loyalty and affection among his writers that they are able to put their egos on hold for the good of the show. Jack Benny was just such a comedian, as this warm remembrance of him by Milt Josefsberg proves so convincingly. Milt, with his capacity for total recall, is especially equipped to bring us this loving, perceptive and witty portrait of one of the most beloved entertainers of our time.
