I love the way he used to walk. I imitate it all the time for people that watch or watched the show. I think the Jack Benny Walk is cool.

Do you do the arm fold too??? I was watching a clip from a show a few days ago and they had Jack walking across the stage. Truly a classic.

The arm fold was just brought to my attention lol. Sometimes to be funny I'll say to a friend who's being a smart Alec, "Now cut that out!"

Now that I don't understand at all!

Actually a funny comment on Jack's walk came when he appeared in the Lucy Show episode "Lucy and Jack Benny's Account" in 1967. As Lucy and Jack prepare to leave Mr. Mooney's office, Lucy instructs him, "Walk this way", and leaves the room with a very "womanly" saunter. After seeing this, Jack quips, "I always do!", and walks out in the exact same style.
