How I wish we had entertainers of their caliber today. They were the best!!!
We do, it is called, "Reruns." LOL.
you are so right
I ran into Bob Hope when I was working in Manhattan he was appearing on NBC in Rockfeller Center Studios. He was a great guy to talk to & even signed a personnel Autograph for me.I always loved his Movies & his shows & what he did for our Troops during every War that the USA was involved in.? R.I.P. Bob for you are sadly missed.
allegedly, Hope was really getting a lot of tail from cute showgirls on those tours, so it was 'sort of' altruistic, but not entirely...
Great story about Bob. There have been rumors that the City of Burbank wants to change the name of Bob Hope Airport, Jay Leno has his hanger full of cars there. Hope they don't. Bob Hope was a Patriot for what he did for the troops.
They serve breakfast to Bob Hope at the Fairmont hotel in San Francisco.
Bob Hope was an MK Ultra handler of sex slaves.
Every world war ? NOT !!!!!!
This was 11 years before I was even born, but I can't get enough of this.
best bob hope-jerry lewis moment ever! Totally had me in stitches!
It is so very sad that so many people under 40 years old missed growing up seeing Jack Benny and Bob Hope on NBC TV while they were still alive doing TV specials. The saddest days in the entertainment industry I remember in the 1970's were the deaths of Jack Benny in 1974 and Elvis Presley in 197. I clearly remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I first heard the deaths of both of them.
☺️
Can't wait to see that Elvis movie tomorrow night!
Lynn Turman Elvis movies are my favorite I found hard days night showing on Turner classic movies the other day and recorded it and sing along with every song in the movie I was also a big Beatles fan
Lynn Turman What time?
Ain't Happening
And... its in color!
Awesome! The original commercials aren't edited out. I'm 50. I was born the year this episode of The Tonight Show aired. I love seeing these old episodes.
THANKS SO MUCH, BOB WAS TRULY THE HARDEST WORKING GUY WHEN HE WAS INVOLVED IN A SHOW, 27 STOPS ON 1 TOUR IN VIETNAM IN 2 WEEKS ..ENOUGH SAID I THINK
All the reports are that he had tremendous energy.
Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis two of the greatest comedians of all time and they both even had comic books made about them at the same time in the fifties, sixties and into the seventies because they were so popular lol.
Bob Hope yes.Jerry Lewis no.
@@tarhunta2111 BOTH!
2:41 It's so funny when Hope says "They've been arresting so many fellas with Italian names..." and everyone including Jerry and Ed are waiting for the punchline...and Hope just moves on to the next joke! SO FUNNY!!!:)
That opening music riff really killed. Good one Jerry
The commercials make me feel like I need to get back to bed before my parents catch me up.
I love the original 1970 commercials. It was great when the Tonight Show was in New York.
Wonderful little segment of two iconic entertainers and a window back to the 1970's and what was going on when I was a teenager. ! AND THEY LEFT THE COMMERCIAL IN ! ! ! YEAAAAAY !
The comic timing in the conversation is phenomenal.
Truly they were heavyweights in the industry ✨⚡️💥🌟
What a time in the world that you will never ever see again Ever PERIOD!!!!!
Ed was a rock. He was constant like a good friend. Colonel McMahon, who served in the Marine Corp as a piolit during the Korean War. He was one of the greatest announcers of the 20th Century, and a very dear man. Thanks for sharing.
jerry langford! what an awesome set!
I loved Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope. I first fell in love with their movies when I was 5 years old! still love them.
REAL entertainers of the old and superior sort.
Anytime Jerry is around someone like Bob Hope his personality is in awe of them, giving the proper respect, not trying to be in charge. He only appears to be in charge when the attention is all on him. You can't help but respect Jerry for his awareness of whom he is around such as Jack Benny, George Burns, Milton Berle, Henny Youngman. Jerry knows his place. That's what makes him the star he is.
* When Bob Hope appeared on Tonight Show he was always plugging his upcoming NBC prime time special so NBC network brass expected Tonight Show host to act thrilled and happy to have Hope drop into the show. Since Hope 's and Crosby's deaths there are no longer any show biz legends doing prime time variety specials, a bygone era fore sure. ♣
Jerry in my opoinion is the most overrated comic in the history of show business. He was in awe because he knew he didn't have the talent.
Jerry lewis was a miserable, jealous asshole
Very well said. Jerry has a very strong healthy identity -- he made it big at 19 and can't imagine having such strong public spotlight on you a teen... and he is an amazing leader in our field. He also has respect for his fellowmen. By the way, Dean did admit he loved Jerry.... He was just a more closed off man and didn't have the emotional needs to express himself that Jerry did. I thought Jerry brought up he and Dean casually and naturally here, which was wonderful. Good news is now I hope in heaven they are laughing, peaceful, and appreciating each other. They reconciled deeply in 1987. Dean lost his son, and he let Jerry, and his exwife Joannie, back into his life. His heart was broken and ready to receive love.
Bob was very helpful to Martin & Lewis when they were 1st getting big attention but had not yet reached the mass market of radio and later TV ... Hope had them on his very popular radio show 2 or 3 times and then when M&L got their own radio show Bob was their first guest.
And the commercial break about midway is cool too...like a time capsule showcasing once great American-made products. AND Jerry smokes a cigarette during the show--how life has tremendously changed in a matter of 44 years.

Ain't it the truth?
Don't you miss how 'simple' our analog lives were (pre-1978)?
Awesome just awesome. Loved them both equally. I'm 47 loved to see their reruns in the mid 70s.
I don't smoke but to see a cigar commercial. ..grew some hairs on my chest.
I WISH JERRY COULD HAVE THIS KIND OF SHOW TODAY...JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS..WE'D LOVE IT
HE DID!
It's a shame, people in their early 20's in 2019 never heard of Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis.
only if they're clueless about entertainment (granted that tragically speaks for many) when I was a kid, people like Jackie Gleason and Milton Berle were way before my time but I still knew who they were and their place in show business greatness
@@joe-vz6hx exactly!
I'm 57 and it seems young people don't seem to know about anything.
They live in their little world of social media.
@@joe-vz6hx I also know about Jackie Gleason, Milton Berle, Bob Hope, Jerry Lewis, Ed Sullivan and many others from way back and I was born in 1996 but I still know about these legends and they were very entertaining indeed
Kevin Pyne, My teenage daughter knows all about Dean & Jerry.
I really just inordinately enjoyed that commercial break.
:)
ABoxOfBroken8Tracks yes,very cool.the advert for the elvis movie especially
I grew up loving both these guys. I am glad that Mr. Lewis is still with us, but I understand that he has had more than his share of health problems. God bless him, he has done so much for so many. What a great man.
E W He is a medium.
Jerry Lewis passed a few days ago. Rest in peace.
+Pelon Jerry passed on August 20, 2017 at age 91. Already miss knowing there won't be anything new from him.
I grew up watching Jerry Lewis - and also his female version, Lucille Ball.
@@toniwilson1579 screw Jerry lewis! Horrible man! Terrible father! May ge rest in piss!!!
Bob is so cool and clever with quips. I really miss him. I wished we had a Bob Hope today.
Unfortunately all his quips and jokes were on cue cards, never spontaneous. It was well known in the industry, andJohnny hated him for it. Johnny also had to have him as a guest because Hope practically owned NBC and could come on whenever he wanted. No love lost between the two lol
Johnny was a pro and he knew that NBC required Hope to go out and promote his TV Specials....you need to be aware that Johnny's late night show had an audience of only 4 million viewers each night late at night, but BUT Bob Hope's prime time TV Specials drew 80 MILLION VIEWERS and made a FORTUNE for NBC in advertising revenue....Johnny knew all that and he and Hope were on very friendly terms....don't fall for all the nonsense you see online....@@hartspot009
Then there is the part about Hope being a handler/groomer.@@hartspot009
I absolutely love the Kodak commercial, it brought back a flood of memories, oh how I miss the old days, this commercial pulled a string in my heart.
I agree. Little did we realize how simple our lives were then compared to the information age we live in now. Loved Cliff Robertson in "The Pilot". Watch it and you may get an idea of where the Denzel Washington movie "Flight" came from.
Bill Taylor Thanks Bill, I'd break an arm an a leg, if I could get transported back to "the old days". Like you said "the simple life".
Not me, I love the present and cherish the past but I’m good with living in the future.
I am 62, so I remember all the classic comedians, saw them on TV a lot as a child. My family watched Jerry's telethons for kids with muscular destrophy. Bob Hope is a classic. I was age 9 during part of 1970, and watched Johnny's show for years, but I don't recall that desk or set. I love Hope's movie Paleface, and always watched his TV specials. Those were the days!
This was broadcast Tuesday, June 30, 1970.
Thanks, really! I was reading through the comments hoping to find this information! That puts it all into a better perspective.
The lady who is hollering told it like it is, two of the most beloved comedians in history!
Nice that Jerry acknowledged the house band, It would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall during that commercial break, to hear what they were playing Cool vid.
Bob was very respectful of Bing Crosby and quickly changed the subject when Jerry starts talking about some incident with Bing years before this show aired. Bing was a class act.
Saxon C yeah, I liked that too. Jerry picked up on Bob and dropped the subject.
They are talking about a telethon that Bob and Bing were doing when Jerry and Dean were introduced and ran out on stage, Insecure Bing thought Jerry was going to take off his toupee. They did not speak for years after this.🙄
@@hardlines4 He was running around grabbing Bob’s head and going crazy so he might have tried if he got the chance so Crosby disappeared
@@rickrick5041 I would’ve told Bing it’s nothing to lose your top over lol
Yeah all were rap1sts
the ads are priceless.....
always great to see more jerry lewis on you tube so much many tv spots and guest shots we have forget over the years, Jerry is the last of old school entertainment and his experiance and knowledge is so vast, Jerry hope you live past bob(hope) and george(burns0 and give the eulogy at my funeral :) all good wishes to Jerry Lewis

Whenever I need a brake from the dung of this world I go to comedy. And these two men are the medicine.
Brake?....Break.
And they say laughter is the best medicine and these two are proof of that.
@@nearlyretired7005 airbreak? AirBrake…
This was just the greatest time to be living. Great Entertainers, Real Stars! All gone but so fondly remembered and so much missed.
Dave Thomas as Hope and Martin Short as Lewis are so spot-on here. Love SCTV...thanks for posting some.
good one! Dave and Martin do FABULOUS impersonations of Hope and Jerry!
I like how Jerry calls him Robert
This is so cool Thank you for posting this
And a commercial with Edie Adams, too!! Great stuff!
I was in Vietnam with the 834th Air Division when these two guys were having fun on TV.
Not too much has changed. We know who got deferred status during Vietnam and most of them are on tv or in Washington.
gallantrycross x I met quite a few returning Vietnam veterans towards the end of the war, just slightly older than me. And I am sure they would all agree with your very succinct comment.
Bob was thanking our guys for their service way before it was fashionable ... in fact he did it when it was unpopular to do so ...
Thanks Bob for all YOU did.
Thank you for your service!
I was 10 years old when this aired. What memories. All of those names from my past.
Those were the good ol days!
This is about as deep a cut as possible. Thank you for uploading this treasure 🙏
Bob Hope such a great giving man.
I love that beautiful mid century backdrop..and I loved the colors back then everything now is so drab every car is black white or silver...
Edie Adams looked great in that Muriel commercial
+Twaddles McGee I'm with you.I hate anything after 1989.
good old bob, pure class
They were great times
this IS from 1970. When Bob mentions AUTOGRAPHED copies of The Godfather, he's talking about the book by Mario Puzo.
I believe the Italian-American rally Hope was referring to, was the one that mobster Joseph Colombo Jr., of the crime Colombo Crime Family organized and was shot to death at a year later in Columbus Circle.
What a great interview! Two classy masters.
Oh yes, spitting water at people on television is just the height of Class…
Late night talk shows. Shows like this will never be the same. Hate what's on today.
I totally agree with you. I am so glad people put these on youtube.
Jerry and Bob!
What a cheap ass set!!
love love my BOB HOPE such a good american..for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Ed McMann was one huge man! How he crawled into a Marine fighter plane I'll never know!!
Bob is loyal, he wouldn't let Jerry talk about his best friend Bing. He changed the subject quick!
I wish The Tonight Show would still have guest hosts.
* True! After Johnny retired late night hosts do reruns instead of guest hosts. ♣

Love Jerry Lewis & Bob Hope . Rest In Peace Jerry 😇🦋 , Rest In Peace Bob 😇🦋
Love jerry love
Awesome clip!
the very best man ever Bob Hope !!!!!!!!
At one point each of these guys was a movie king. Absolute box office titans. They were both among the top ten box office stars of the year more than 10 times (Hope, actually, 13 times; Lewis, 11, including his work with Dean Martin). Yet by the time of this interview, they were both has beens who couldn't get a movie made. Fame is fleeting no matter how big you are.
Right their movies made them a fortune while everyone else wasted their valuable time watching their garbage.
well said.
Paramount Studios made their dressing rooms into public bathrooms.
I find it amazing how he just got up and ended cue the music lol, tapped Jerry on the face like a son.
I did like it that Jerry did spoke of the him and Dean was making films together. It was t much but he was not afraid of mentioning those days.
He has always spoken highly of these days and of Dean.
Also note that he puts Dean's name FIRST ... he always has.
"Dean and I"
Yes. Shows maturity, peaceful, balanced attitude about them and their work together. I love it.
@@pamelahawley4844 I love him too, he's an impossible man to forget
It's a little bit of a myth that Dean and he never saw each other ... there was tension there but they did see each other on occasion and it was cool but polite.
People spoke so beautifully back then.
Thank you!
"Dean Martin was in the parade. I waved at him and he weaved back." OMG that was hilarious.
@ 12:47....even Bob Hope believed that Lewis deliberately tried to take Bing Crosby's toupee off in that 50's telethon, an incident in which Lewis denied and for which Crosby never forgave him for. Bob hope knew.
Bob Hope WAS the master - you told it right Mr. McMahon
TY!!! 3 GR8 guys...& hopefully Jerry Lewis will be around even longer than the awesome Mr, Hope!
Ty for sharing this history with us
Born in Eltham, London, UK just down the road from me. Bob Hope will always be a legend. One of the all-time showbiz greats.
The Bob Hope theatre...love the Xmas pantomimes...
bob hope great man!
incredible
This was worth it for the commercial break alone...
Incredible comics
Very cool. Love Bob or "Robert" Hope
"Sherman, set the Wayback Machine for 1970...
There was an extremely popular late-night talk show back then, whose host often played hookey, as did the regular bandleader... but what we're going to watch is the advertisements, a real snapshot into what life was like in America in 1970."
One half of Hope & Crosby, chatting it up with one half of Martin & Lewis, at a time when some folks in the U.S.A. thought that we were on the brink, socially/culturally.
(CZcams is our Wayback Machine.)
Addendum, a year later:
Hope could out-ad lib Lewis...
Who knew?
Two brilliant men.
Thank you so much for posting! A supremely awkward interview. As to the ending, Jerry was NOT upset with Ed calling Hope "the master"... he's trying to make that "a bit" by ACTING upset. It just didn't quite come off. Ed always poked at Jerry's ego and was doing so there.
Really? He looked incensed to me....
@@johngalvin3124 Jerry didn’t have a problem with Hope. He had a big problem with Crosby, though.
As much of an egotist as Lewis may have been, I’m sure like the rest of the entertainment world, he would defer to Hope being “the master.” Lewis was also a youngster next to Hope. That alone would’ve earned him some reverence.
:D awww this was fun
My dad smoked Muriel magnum cigars for years, but they didn't look small. Me and my brothers used cigar boxes of that brand to put our school stuff in. I recall all these ads of products.
TRULY TWO GREAT ENTERTAINERS RIGHT HERE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Yes, it's kind of surreal to see them together.
Comedians seem to the most serious people in real life
True...many a true word said in jest...
Looks like there was tension between Ed and Jerry.
+Sunshine Water I can imagine that, Jerry probably not always the easiest to get along with, Ed probably, used to having Johnny there, just wanting to get through it.
Stumpycat Vm Ed McMahon and Jerry Lewis worked together for many years on MDA Telethon.
Steven Hamburg A Labor Day weekend tradition watching Jerry and Ed on the MDA Telethon raising money for Jerry's Kids. Remember it well.
I thought the same thing but these two were close friends working together on the marathon for years!
Please.
4.55 She bought all the ticket to my picture - quick
To all the haters. I met both of these men while working on a network television show in the mid 1970s. I was around them almost constantly for three days. They couldn't have been more gentlemanly, more friendly and down to earth to everyone they came to meet, including fans and the other artists with whom they worked during the entire time. I don't know how all this disparaging nonsense comes to be… jealousy, and ignorance no doubt... but it remains nonsense.
So awesome. Sad that Jerry is gone. Thanks for sharing that. These were true gentlemen.
I've heard more stories of Jerry Lewis being a complete asshole in person, even to fans.
spyneyes1 I adored all these men. They don't make them like this anymore. Carson, Sinatra,Hope, Lewis,Martin,S Davis, Rickles. 😍😍😍😢🙏🏻
Holly Golightly he left nothing to his bio kids
Jerry Lewis admits to threatening Joan Rivers with violence (threatened to get her head bashed in ) over a joke. He is not a nice man. There are many stories of people not liking Jerry Lewis, including his own children.
It's probably because he and and Bob Hope didn't really get along that he might be a little tense. He's better here than on his '63 talk show. He did get good reviews all the times that he hosted the tonight show, so maybe it's just here that he's not as comfortable. You have to admit though that he was amazing with Dean on The Colgate Comedy Hour years, which was on television.
Jerry got that Saturday show after he spent like a month filling in for Johnny in the summer prior and he and it were brilliant. And worked hand-in-glove with the undersung straight man Ed. BUTTTT, a guest host walks into a tried & true, thoroughly tested & prov-ed, well-oiled machine with institutional knowledge & memory like The Tonight Show. Theyyyyyyyy know how to do it. Then you get you own show and you be in charge. Waaay different. But if it weren't for him, we never would have had the Hollywood Palace.
Same thing happened with Joey Bishop; Filled in part of summer for Johnny. Brilliant. AND never funnier. I remember. I watched it every night and that was when Tonight was on five nights. Gets his own Late-Night. Not the same. Sharp wit a bit blunted and regrettably, that's how he's remembered. At least he introduced America to Regis Philbin.
And now that you brought up Regis, how many substitute co-hosts for Regis & Kathie Lee did so well that they segued to their own talk show? Right. And how many succeeded? Right again - only Rosie.
I rest my case........Rest yours.
i like how lost Jerry was there for a second
I didn't feel that Ed was tense towards Jerry. And they worked well together for over 30 years on the MDA telethon.
Yep
Pardon my silly imagination, but how I would love to be able to bring an interview of Jerry at 90 years of age back in time to 1970 and show it to him. Then just sit back and marvel.
How you would do the same if what you said was done to you.
The actual interview of Jerry Lewis at 90 years old revealed an arrogant, angry, unprofessional person who was disinterested in engaging with his audience. His poor treatment of the young interviewer was astonishing, making one wonder why Lewis invited him into his home in the first place. It was quite a memorable closing act.
@@thoughtfortheday593 As Jerry Langford said in that movie, "I was like that before."
Jerry subbed for Johnny several times......the best were in the early 60s........
... I have an aunt in Warsaw - LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!! good one !!!!!!!
You people are too young to understand that the guest is supposed to talk and the host is supposed to shut up. That's what happened to America.
I have noticed. The gents, class and respect everyone is lost since then- Example Johnny Carson.
Bob was a funny man Jerry was funny guy too they both made me laugh Bob did with Judy and Bing on record Albums I had on Judy Garland !! She had so much humor too !
Jerry 💙🌸
This is what class acts look like, we would do well to return to those times.
Yes, the good old days. When everyone knew their place.
Who Jerry the horrible parent or hope the guy who consistently cheated on his wife?
Yeah starting off the interview by racist remarks about Italians and the Irish, the good ol' days! Now we get in trouble if we talk down to other ethnicities and treat them like jokes? Man the world is going downhill!! /s
Orson Welles sent me here. He was right. "The secret of authenticity and complete autocracy and autonomy is autonomy and cinematic integrity" paraphrased
I enjoyed the 1970’s tv ads.
