Back in 2012 we posted a comedy clip from The Jack Benny Show from 1957 in which Jack was conducting a talent show to give a break to new performers. Of course Benny's shows were comedies and so were the talent performances.
The memorable clip that we posted featured Mel Blanc as Stanley Gropff, who created a spray every time he pronounced his name. Gropff (Blanc said his original name was Shpritzer) was the first contestant in this show.
Today we're posting a continuation of this show, with the second contestants a trio called The Landrews Sisters, obviously a take-off on The Andrews Sisters. Not believing what he's seeing, Benny takes off his glasses, shpritzes "Gropff" onto the lenses, and proceeds to clean them.
The "sisters" were in reality three actress/comedians: Muriel Landers, Iris Adrian, and June Earle. The patter between Benny and the girls was funny in 1957 and is still funny today, but would likely be banned in today's cancel culture.
Enjoy!
