Happy 116th Birthday, Jack Benny!
For those who say "Who?", first you should be ashamed of yourselves, and second you should probably go here and download one of his old radio shows.
Here's a classic skit he used to perform with Mel Blanc
(oh, and it's also Youtube's 5th anniversary.)
I think the basic unit of comic timing should be called the Benny. There are very few comedians now and in the past capable of going the full Benny.

This is a surprise
It turns out Ajay Rochester (host of Biggest Loser and now on fraud charges) was someone I knew from my old comedy days. I thought she looked vaguely familiar (back then her hair was a lot shorter, she was a lot slimmer and she went under the name Lee-Anne Towler.)
Can't say I'm surprised about the fraud charges though.
