I love the tuxes that Freddie and Mr.Orlando are wearing in this scene from"The Tony Orlando & Dawn TV Show"..as Freddie would say"You're Looking Good!".
This guy accomplished a lot at 22 years old. A successful stand up career, a successful tv show, had a wife, a son, money, cars, but the cocaine and booze destroyed him.
Don't you know? Tony took it so hard that he even stopped performing which hurt his career as a singer. It really devastated him. Back in those days it was extremely hard for us puertoricans to make it in show business and be accepted by the then crowd.
True. He was also one of the last "clean joke" comedians. After his death we saw the rise of dirty-joke-comedians who appealed to a totally different group of people. The next generation gradually became desensitized to vulgarity in comedy, and it became the norm. Not until Jerry Seinfeld was there a great comedian who didn't rely vulgarities.
Thank you for posting this episode❣ Great comedy before the rise of vulgarity as comedy. Freddie Prinze' must unfortunate death marked the end of an era where comedy was entertaining without the use of constant vulgarities. Eddie Murphy set the standard for dirty-joke-comedians. Freddie Prinze outshines all who followed.
I was about 15 when I saw this and actually tape recorded it when it re-ran, it was so funny. I still have the tape. I haven't "seen" this, though, since then. Thanks!
So sad so tragic 😞 he was such a talent........I was 9 when he died I loved Chico and the Man ........too bad they didn't kno about depression back in the 70s.....RIParadise great one......
My mom and I were watching Chico and the man Freddie came out ,we both looked at each other same time"there's something wrong with him" now if we could see that on tv,what does that say for all the people who were close to him,my guess ,keep making that $$$,to hell with his obvious trouble,rip Freddie,my wife and I cried,they even broadcast a few shows after he passed,shame on them
Tony was on an episode of "Chico and the Man". I read that they were planning to make a series of movies, sort of like the Bob Hope and Bing Crosby road pictures. If things had been different, maybe people would be watching those movies on CZcams now.
He wasn't healthy. He had mental illness and was addicted to drugs. Clinical depression is not a mood, it's an illness and it doesn't matter how great life looks to others.

He was a genius! Blessed to have met him backstage twice when I was 14 years old.
What did he say to you
I LOVe those 70's tuxedos!
I do too.

We absolutely LOVE Freddy & Tony! That’s brotherly LOVE!... ❤️
Aw, that brother comment was so sincere....
No,it fuckin wasn't.
Loved the Gleason and Carney impressions!
🥰💋 Freddie looks so handsome.
Freddy would have taken over the Tonight Show after Johnny retired. You can find some of his guest hosting on CZcams
Its hard to watch the brotherly love between them i can't imagine what Tony went through when he heard of his rican brothers passing...RIP Freddie

@@paposwing2925 I heard about that. Heard that he almost had a nervous breakdown. They were as close as brothers . So sad :(
You can tell Tony loved him so much i understand why his death hurt him so much
They look like brothers.
Freddie was gonna be one of the top 5 comics ever. He had a connection with the audience. That can't be faked.
Not top 5.

@@scottdavidson7001 Top 10?
Not even in the top 10
The funniest! Gone at 22. Amazing talent. Laughing still.
How sad is that, Freddie had everything to live for.... & he tragically took his own life!
Try dealing with snakes like Tony Orlando and see how you do.

He was a natural!
To use Freddie famous catchphrase..Freddie You're"Looking Good!"in that tux.
My favorite comedian ever
Wow. What an improvement. Never knew Freddie could sing & he’s tall without platforms.
I was about 15 when I saw this and actually tape recorded it when it re-ran, it was so funny. I still have the tape. I haven't "seen" this, though, since then. Thanks!
You should post it
so talented.
Im half Greek and half Puerto Rican too, like Tony Orlando 🇬🇷 🇵🇷
He died to young, great performer
Thank you for uploading this!!!

Tony was moving his lips while Freddie talked. LOL.

Puerto Rican summit.
Yeaaah.
Thank You for posting…
Such a sad shame. Yes, very talented. He had a tremendous future. Such a sad shame.
The future looked so promising for Freddie.😥
They looked so much alike. In the 70s it was damn is that Tony or Freddy?!
Freddie looked like he could have been Tony's brother.
Tony was on an episode of "Chico and the Man". I read that they were planning to make a series of movies, sort of like the Bob Hope and Bing Crosby road pictures. If things had been different, maybe people would be watching those movies on CZcams now.
Mental illness and addiction took this talented kid
I can't come to terms that was the look of the 70s.
so much potential lost.
Freddy would be 67. 😪
I'm A China-rican
Freddie blew his brains out. After a lot of drugs and cocaine Tony went crazy and was sent to a mental hospital.
Why did he keep saying he’s half Hungarian when his father is actually German?
Maybe he moved to Hungary.
Why would a young man with such a bright future kill himself? What does a young, healthy, handsome, rich, famous man have to be depressed about?
Fame came too fast for him. Also, his marriage was falling apart.
@@jettp3810 Yes, fame can be a double-edged sword. He also married too young.
He wasn't healthy. He had mental illness and was addicted to drugs. Clinical depression is not a mood, it's an illness and it doesn't matter how great life looks to others.
@@monilaninetynine3811 I didn't know about the drugs. What kind of drugs?
Tomorrow and on
Did Tony dress Freddy?
Great line
No; the same person dressed them both.
Literally not funny
One man's soporific is another man's sidesplitter.
Comedy is subjective,I think Kevin Hart is not funny,so there you have it
