Probably not. For sure no one in the audience did. It was probably the funniest part of his whole bit. Don't watch the whole thing, by any means. Let it load, then scan forward to 2:40 then watch until 2:50.
Now here is some good comedy to explain what caught my eye. Johnny Carson was copying it over 50 years ago, and last night Billy Crystal copied it on American Idol.
Classic.

Did you catch it? Did you?

I totally caught it!!!!!! Is he doing Bob Hope? Is that who it is? I'm so glad you blogged this.
Stand down everyone! I'm an idiot. It's Jack Benny of course.
Hey Molly ... I hope you are still writing about your love for OTR. Maybe you are too busy to post lately or did you find your Fibber or George and you ran off with him?
I finally got a chance to listen to side one of record one last night and was immediately hooked. Benny describes radio as "do-it-yourself television." You paint your own picture with your imagination. He begins with a clip to help warm up your imagination. And what is said clip? McGee opening his infamous closet, much to Molly's dismay, and the inevitable tumbling out of all of his junk. The scene is an array of clangs and bangs and clashes. Not a single item is named, yet the listener is able to create a clear picture for themselves.
