We all love Lucy, of course, and her comic genius will live on as long as there is some kind of machinery to play her reruns. But it seems to me that a number of other great comedians are most undeservedly forgotten in the modern world, and Jack Benny is one of the all-time funniest. If you are in need of a laugh or two, this should do the trick; the best part is the second half, where Jack runs afoul of sarcastic store clerk Frank Nelson.
For the record, this episode of the Jack Benny Program was broadcast on January 22, 1961.
