In 1938, during the famous Fred Allen-Jack Benny "feud", Allen got the chance to meet Rochester, Benny's butler. It really sounds to me as if he racially insults him by calling him a "nougatine Jeeves." What do you think?

Not sure what it means. I guess I would let it run of my sleeve.
ReplyDeleteHey BB, check this out.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I would say it would not have been politically correct. I wonder how it went over back then. Rochester is one of my favorite characters. Also enjoyed him in the old Topper movies.
ReplyDeleteI only point out "these things" on the blog because they are something to write about.
