Benny, now aged 76, recalls the disasters of his unwritten autobiography: 'they want to read where I had 8 divorces: I'm not going to get a lot of divorces just so I can write a book'; his feud with Fred Allen: he said "Jack isn't exactly stingy, it's just that he has short arms and he keeps his money low in his pockets"'; his friendship with George Burns: 'he tells outlandish things about me, even though they're true'; and numerous other anecdotes. He plays his famous violin, demonstrating how to fool a concert audience and how Arnold Palmer might play the violin.
