In the Wikipedia entry on Jack Benny, I see where someone recently deleted a description that Dennis Day's "double-entendre's coyly suggested homosexuality" (or something close to that).
I agree with earlier version--it always has seemed to me that there was a sort of coded gay humor in Dennis' role: he would do things like wolf-whistle at Benny wearing shorts, then have Benny dismiss him as "silly." But the person who edited the wikipedia listing (wikipedia is an online enyclopedia that literally anybody can freely add to or edit) claimed to be a veteran Benny show listener and viewer, and he or she never perceived any hint of double-entendre in Day's performance.
What do you all think?
