Jack Benny was so funny! There's no one like him now. He was born Benjamin Kubelsky and was a star of vaudeville, movies, radio, and television. Johnny Carson used to imitate Jack Benny often on The Tonight Show when reacting to something someone else said.


Red Skelton was also a talented artist and his paintings are highly collectible. He was such a talented man.
