Discussing Benny - Episode 2 - Murder At Romanoff's
Jack as Captain O'Benny, investigates a case of murder at Romanoff's Restaurant. This is a great episode for a few reasons, firstly is that it had not one but three guest stars! Rosalind Russell, Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra. Secondly because it has two great fluffed lines. Don's "Dreer Pooson" fluff and Mary's "Carlton Quince Was Quilled". Jack exclaims, "All I ask is one rehearsal"!!

On this, the 47th anniversary of the passing of Jack Benny, we reflect on how we felt when we heard the tragic news and how our fandom for Jack has changed our lives for the better, in fact our little group knows each other right now directly due to our being Benny fans!
