After achieving stardom in vaudeville, Benny refined his comic persona to become a multi-generational audience favorite on radio and television. How did this gentle, unassuming man charm audiences by playing a cowardly cheapskate who insists he is forever 39? And what made his sitcom a radio and TV favorite for more than 30 years? With videos featuring Benny, his sidekick Rochester, the genius of Mel Blanc, and his real-life wife Mary Livingston, we celebrate a beloved show business legend.
