Jack Benny began his career in show biz on the airwaves,and by 1950 he was ready to enter the realm of television.With his move from radio to small screen,Benny brought along with him many supporting actors from his original show.They included;Eddie Anderson as Rochester Van Jones,the star's deep-voiced valet;robust narrator Don Wilkson;songster DennisDay;Mel Blanc]the voice of Bugs Bunny}who played Benny,s violin teacher;Mary Livingston,as Benny's wife;and Frank Nelson as the character best known for saying,"Yeeeesssss!" Groucho Marx is one of many stars to make a radio broadcast their debut,only to move to TV once the radio show reached popularity.But Marx didn't go usual route with a sitcom or talk show,but rather,he made a name for himself hosting a game show called,You Bet Your Life.The show,broadcast on radio orginally aired in 1947, becoming a televised radio show in 1950.But things didn't go off without a hitch-spoonsors nearly backed out when Marx refused .luckily,having to wear a costume when he pointed out that was no contact clauses stating he must do so.
