Nobody is funnier than Jack Benny; and it was all clean innocent humor. Boy do I miss those days!

The young girl playing "Getting to Know You" with Jack was violin prodigy Talia {Toni} Marcus, who used the same arrangement Gisele MacKenzie played with Jack [she personally wrote it out for her to study before she did it with Benny]. Talia appeared several times with Jack on TV (the version shown here is from March 1962) and personal appearances...

The scenes with Jack and his musicians are from a January 1964 episode that featured Nat Cole as guest star; on radio and TV, Benny often jokingly referred to several members of his program's orchestra [under the direction of Mahlon Merrick], inferring they were "drunks" and/or "on parole", and they occasionally appeared with him to perform on camera...the most notable were Frankie Remley [also one of his close friends], Sammy Weiss, Wayne Songer and Charlie Bagby.

Same with Werner Klemperer, was a fantastic violinist, which made it all the easier to play as badly as he did at Luft Stalag VIII

Of all the violin players he collaborated with on his show,I'm very surprised that he didn't play along side another great violin verturoso...... Larry of the three stooges.I guess they're both making up for the time that they didn't.Now they have all of eternity to trade violin licks.Jack will start of with A!!
