Loved thier comedy!

Me too! It's a pity that there aren't more like them these days. Gracie was a genius at playing an idiot. My son and I are into old time radio shows in a big way, and we enjoy many of these talented vaudevillians who made it big in radio. Jack Benny is one of our OTR staples. Amazing how the humor holds up even 60 years later.

I Love those old radio shows.

I Love those old radio shows.

A quote from George Burns

"I smoked them because I wanted people to think I was doing well. When they saw me they'd say " Hey that fourten year old kid must be going places" Of course, it's also a good prop on the stage..... when you can't think of what your supposed to say next, you take a puff on your cigar until you do think of your next line.

The man was an understated genius and a hard worker..or as he would say " the luckiest man in the world."

I thought this was going to be another UFC coming up.

"NPR" has a lot of those old radio station on the air.listen to them everynight...along with a good cigar(drewestate) and some liquer!!!"Lol

Really, They don't play those around here.

That was a rare Hollywood love story.

My favorite Gracie Allen bit

She answers the phone and hands it to George

Gracie "here, it's for you"

Geo: "who is it"

Gracie:"It's a Hawaiian"

Geo: "A Hawaiian? How do you know that"

Gracie: "Because he said 'I'm Brown from the Morning Sun' "

If I'm not mistaken, George Burns had a standing contract for many years to play the London Palladium on his 100th birthday and, if he hadn't slipped in the shower a few months before, he might just have made it
