Video Find(s) of the Day
Jack Benny and Mel Blanc together. In the first video they do a routine that ran almost entirely on timing. They did this routine with slight variation over and over again on both the Jack Benny radio show and the TV show. Benny does long takes between questions asked of Si, the Mel Blanc character. Si always answers each question immediately, sometimes while it's being asked.
Jack Benny - Mel Blanc Classic Routine
This one is fueled by Jack Benny's exaggerated persona, and Mel Blanc's exaggerated reaction. The skit reminds me of a lot of stuff on SNL, except of course that the suicide happens off-stage.
