Great clip Anthony. Thanks so much for posting this.

I think they worked together as children in a Gus Edwards kiddie act, and continued to know each other and work in show business as long as they lived

"Pals?" Today we would call it something else.

Thanks.

Great to watch. But Eddie seemed unwell.

[@Lampshade51]

One of Cantor's last TV appearances.
Does anyone have the videotape version of this in color?

NBC junked the FORD STARTIME tapes in 1973.

Sadly, this was the year that Eddie's Daughter Marjorie died.
