Irving Fein (June 21, 1911 – August 10, 2012) was an American television and film producer, and the manager of entertainers Jack Benny and George Burns.
After writing several short stories, Fein was hired to work in the publicity and advertising department for Warner Brothers in New York City.
He turned down an offer to work in the legal department at Warner Brothers, and instead moved to their California office where he began in the mailroom.
During the many years of their long association, Fein kept Jack Benny a number-one star on TV, in personal appearances, and in the concert world performing with the most notable symphony orchestras in the U.S. and Europe.
In 1956, William S. Paley wooed Irving away from Jack, naming him a vice president at CBS and moving him and his family to New York City.
Fein also served as executive producer of Jack's weekly series until it ended in 1965, and his yearly NBC specials until Benny's death in 1974.
[1] During Fein's long and distinguished career he earned many awards, including an Emmy for one of the Jack Benny television shows he produced.
