The Jack Benny Program
Episode: At the beach (5/9/1954)

Today's fun fact about Jack Benny:

Jack got into show business while in the service. He played his violin at shows for his fellow servicemen. How did his act become popular?

He was booed for his violin play. He handled the situation with humor and began his career in stand up comedy.. Quite by accident, he deflected the boos with self-deprecating humor that later became his trademark. The humor made a big hit with the audience, more so than the music.
