After Jennie chimed in with a comment about how her father was "cheap," Bench was heard yelling, "He was Jewish!" The former Reds catcher’s joke didn’t go over well, and he was scrutinized for it.

That's probably one of the least racist things Johnny Bench has ever said.

Johnny Bench lives life like a Dean Martin Celebrity Roast and I can appreciate that.

I love being called cheap.

I don't see why Jewish people are disturbed by it, because its true.

People weren't massive aching vaginas back in his heyday and everyone could just chuckle at that and move on.

Stereotypes exist for a reason.

I’m a cheap guy. One of my Jewish coworkers brings it to a completely different level .

When the office got a new keurig she asked if we got it from bed bath and beyond because apparently if you bring in an old broken keurig and one of their famous 20% off coupons they will give you a free new one.

I went there a month later and asked the lady and sure enough it was true. No idea how someone would go about figuring out that combination would garner you a brand new machine but she did somehow.

A priest and a rabbi are waking down the street whenever they see a kid playing in the front yard. The priest turns to the rabbi and says “Want to go frick that kid?” The rabbi looks at him and says “frick him out of what?”

Nobody said Jewish people were disturbed. I am sure someone else was disturbed on their behalf. This is one of America's leading problems.

Society in this country is shite today. I'm surprised the role of the stand-up comedian is still even legal. I feel sorry for anyone under the age of 25 right now. They will suffer a miserable life. Y'all just keep "being woke" and "offended" and "entitled" and believing that the world OWES you something. You'll die a miserable person.

Have a nice day.

I was the backup catcher. I think coach prayed the first teamer stayed healthy.

Catcher drank a couple of tall boys before every game, I got a few reps..

Someone told me Jewish people have big noses because the air is free. I don’t know if that’s true or not.
