Why do they keep including Benjy in the background, when something funny is taking place (either a comedians bit---or some spur of the moment spurt) and he's sitting there like he's just inflicted a lobotomy on himself?
Maybe, for the ironic humor benefit of the viewing audience, they should highlight him with neon arrows, and everytime he's in the camera shot put one of those pop-up video facts about Benjy's worthlessness on the show----things like "now scribbling the 378th consecutive line that Howard won't use," or captions that read "this guy took Jackie's job" or once in awhile show ala a weather report which way the studio wind is blowing, and watch either Artie or Fred shifting in their seats, waking up from comas, or rubbing granola or cupcakes up their noses. |

| Sid Caesar had Woody Allen, Larry Gelbart, Neil Simon and Mel Brooks writing for him. Howard has Richard Christy, Sal the Stockbroker and the great Benjy. I love people who think that everthing funny that comes out of Howard's mouth is written by Benjy. They kind of ignore the fact that Benjy has never said or done anything funny in the entire history of the show. |

zing! :D
if benjy had true writing talent he could have easily parlayed the Howard gig into a better job years ago. the only reason howard doesnt get rid of him is because he gets away with paying benjy slave wages ;) a real writing talent would cost much, much more... |
