Back when my parents were first married, my fathers step mother always said little jabs about my mother's weight. Mom, saw this episode and seeing Mr. Wells fight back as he did, gave my mother courage. The next time her mother-in-law started to bully, mom said the exact same thing and it shut her mother-in-law down really fast.
LOL, good for her!
Unfortunately, he plagiarised that line from Winston Churchill
@@velvetunderpants44 can't beat the classics
Love those feel-good family moments
@@velvetunderpants44 why unfortunately. The slap-down was still effected, acknowledged and warranted. Carson is to blame for pairing these two who had absolutely no shared vibe between them.
The best part is how he just stares a hole right through him after he delivers that line.
About a 100 point IQ difference.
More like 150!
this is an example of "did you really want that smoke?"
Mensa society members 😅
That's what makes it all the more hilarious!
Orson Welles was a heavy weight in things that mattered. One of the most accomplished and eloquent of his time. He could outmatch just about all his contemporaries with his wit and vocabulary.
Did you mean wit....or width....just wondering...
@@mikekaatman3194
Wit. Thank you for pointing out the typo.
Well said.
Let's just hope you never catch outtakes of a drunken Wells slurring his words while trying to film an advertisement for a cheap wine.
*Welles
Class meets trash. Love it!
And you know Mr. Welles was a true class act because he didn't even go for the jugular: this MANLET.
This man Mr. Orson Welles at age 23 directed and narrated his own adaptation of H.G. wells Novel War Of The Worlds in a radio broadcast in 1938 that turned America upside down and shook the radio broadcasting and media industry at the time to it's core. At the age of 26 he wrote, directed, and starred in the most revolutionary and considered by most film historians as the greatest movie ever made, Citizen Kane. All in an effort still not recognized by most today, to expose the corrupt power of media over Americans thinking and perception of America and the world.
" a touch of evil " ..the powers that be Tried to set him up on Sex Charges..
A Friend told him Not to go back to his motel room..
Under age woman laying in wait..photographer too..
Thanks, Wikipedia.
What does that have to do with an illogical retort?
@@finddeniro that’s basically how they’ve taken out many a man of the cloth! Simply set him up to cast doubt on his reputation as to a double standard, whether he can clear up his name or has a reasonable explanation, the damage is done.
I remember watching Citizen Kane when I was about 16 and was completely mesmerized. I can’t imagine what it would have been like to watch it when it first came out; we take for granted things he did, because so many copied him afterwards. Probably the greatest film of all time.
If memory serves, Welles went on to tell Blake, "My weight is correctable only with great difficulty at my age, so I've learned to tolerate it...as opposed to your bad manners."
Blake was a jerk as was dealt with as he deserved.
Eric Schweitzer, Blake, like OJ, was acquitted in the criminal trial, but found liable in the civil trial. No prison, at least not for murder.
@Eric Schweitzer You could look it up on that internet thingee.
@Sir Tristan That's Mister Idiot to you old bean!
@Eric Schweitzer OK, I guess Uncledad gave you that pithy quote during his rectal analysis regimen.
What an awesome comeback, Robert was left speechless. He deserved that remark, If you can't say anything nice, Then don't say anything at all.
Borrowed in a round about wY from Churchill, who Welles had met
They were just having fun. Serious or not.. they enjoyed themselves and made it fun for everyone else.
Staged
I bet they never dined at the restaurant where Blake took his slain Ex.
Please, that is such a tired cliche. Has no impact.
The come back is always stronger and Orson nailed it here.
As much as he was an incredible genius, here he was "plagiarizing" Sir Winston Churchill
@@mmscuf I'm sure someone thought of that before Churchill too lol it's the perfect comeback for fat people getting bullied.
@@mmscuf there's another video where Welles talks about his encounter with Churchill, in Venice I believe, very amusing.
Best comeback since George Castanza's 'Jerkstore' moment
@@mickblack2800 Didn't you think Kramer's suggestion (and George's final comeback) was better? "I had sex with your wife."
This is a funny excerpt, and in the full episode, they do go back and forth some more. But in the end, Welles solicited Blake's advice about whether he (Welles) should accept an offer to do a TV show. In reply, Blake shared lots of his personal experiences about the subject, and it was an genuine, interesting conversation, something that seldom happened between two guests on the Carson show. Johnny got his clever jabs in, as ever, of course!
Yep. The jabs were just schtick. Good fun.
Mr Blake te the truth what really happened to your spouse
@@JuanRodriguez-ix5ut : He doesn't know.He was busy retrieving his gun from the restaurant.🤔😆
This is hilarious, Orson could adlib with the best of them
I saw this when it was first broadcast in 1976. I have never forgotten Welles' comeback to Robert Blake.
Wow. What city were you living in? What’s your fondest memory of the 70’s?
Me too I rember watching this
Blakes looking for his gun he left at the restaurant
😂😂
Baretta looks for his Beretta
Love it!
😩😩😩 lmaooooo
Omg😮
Mr. Welles gets the win! 😁
And Robert Blake was mildly famous while Orson Welles is a legend.
Don't leave out Blake's tour de force performance in In Cold Blood, the original film version of Capote's best book.
Blake is a murderer
@Wilmette Entwistle and Blake became infamous for the murder of his wife for which he was ultimately acquitted.
At the time Baretta was on in 75-76 Blake was a big TV star!!! I was 10 in 75 and none of us kids knew Wells but Blake was almost like the Fonz. Freddie Prinz was huge too. Of course in the bigger picture Wells was culturally more significant. Back in the mid 70's my only knowledge of Wells was his frequent appearances on the Merv Griffen show with the likes of Dom Deluise and Zha Zha Gabour. Needles to say I was non plussed!!!!
Baretta was a hit TV show that year.. Folks knew who Blake was...what we didn't know...
Very funny. I think I heard Dean Martin use the same joke when he was called a drunk: I’ll be sober tomorrow but you’ll still be ugly
Winston Churchill is the originator of this quote.
I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.
@@MrB1923 I was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it
Matt Polzkill i think it was Lady Astor.
That came from the 1934 W.C. Fields film "It's a Gift"
@@KDoyle4 yep. May even predate that.
Damn. Orsen roasted the hell outta him. That stare down after 😂😂
Only one is still remembered as an American movie legend.
Lol that punk came in with such confidence and was cut down immediately
Robert Blake - what a jerk! The kindest word in the world is the unkind word left unsaid. Great comeback from Orson Welles.
Orson had a great laugh
Johnny handled that eloquently.
BOOM! And you can take dat to da bank Bobby!
Brilliant comeback Orsen, and it left Blake speechless. And the expressions on all their face was hilarious.
As a portly person myself, whenever someone makes a fat joke about me, my standard response is similar to what Mr. Welles said: "I can lose 50 pounds. You can't gain 50 IQ points."
@Lava1964 being portly as you call it certainly does not equate to a higher IQ, at least from my experience of observing those involved in court cases on Judge Judy. America is involved in a very real and present danger of being a nation of gluttons. Smh
I received decades of skinny jabs from mostly women who wanted to lose weight were not fat imo. They never said slim was always skinny. Finally I responsed with how come it's OK to call a slim person "skinny" constantly but we're not allowed to say "fat". Never heard it again.
I'd make a fat joke but you already have too much on your plates...
Nice variation.
Yea but you won’t really lose pounds and you know it
Orson Welles really took care of that murdered verbally.
greatest come back in the history of television!!!!
“Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time, Robert”.
“They’ll be no crime before it’s time, Orson”.
I'm rooting for Orson Welles!
OMG I love Orson Welles so much. Orson might have had many faults but at least he never killed anyone. ;)
Yes, he 'did', in The Stranger, which he also directed, 1-derful movie, with Loretta Young and Edward G Robinson. 😁
Murdered. Killed could be justifiable or accidental. Blake's legacy is nonexistent.
Johnny stole the day with " I think I'm going to lock up early.."...🙃
Welles laughing at Carson's response there at the end there cracks me up!
This is a a great comeback , very reminiscent of Winston Churchill's infamous comeback in 1940: “Sir, you are drunk.”
“And you, madam, are ugly. But I shall be sober in the morning, and you will still be ugly.”
Imagine thinking one could test Welles banter so brazenly & not be clowned😂
Don't mess with Unicron.
Orson Welles traded jabs with Jack Benny and Fred Allen, two legends in the golden age of radio. Blake wouldn't be a problem for Orsie, as the great Phil Harris would call him.
OMG, I love you! Huge fan of golden age of radio, listened to just about all 932 Jack Benny programs at least once, loved the ones hosted by Welles when Jack had the flu, Phil definitely called him Orsie! Nice to see another fan of OTR out there.
I too love OTR... Especially comedy and horror OTR.
@@scottslicklen2306Lately I've been listening to the great science fiction show X-1, good stories, great acting, lots of humor. Always loved The Whistler, nutty mystery show. Columbia made a series of B movies based on The Whistler in the mid-40's starring Richard Dix that you might like too.
I'll have to check into that.Thanks.I have about 30+ OTR shows/compilations on MP3 discs.
You honestly think this was a clever retort? It was actually quite hackneyed & illogical. Truth be told, Blake was a better looking man than Welles, even when Welles was young.
I can't picture Blake coming up with "You make Wimpy look skimpy!" by himself.
@Thou Swell He used to refer to getting to the bottom of something as getting to the “ brass framas” lol A bit of a roughian but the man had a way with words. But to match wits with Wells was like a street tough fighting Muhammad Ali. Lol
@@Thejoeordinary1 He didnt match his wits with Welles', the latter did a variation of Churchills' quote ''I'm drunk but you are ugly.Tomorrow I'll be sober and you'll still be ugly''.
But Orson didn’t kill his wife.
his wife or his ex-wife?
@WinstonS84 come on man this stuff IS expensive and u just made me spit out my smoke bruh he brought us touch of evil, citizen kane, war of the world in a british voice that was lowww😂😂
Neither did Robert Blake, per jury acquittal.
WinstonS84 Was she pregnant with twins at the time?
Of course oj is innocent
Barrettas face is priceless
Not to change the subject, but seeing this video reminded me of another Carson show with Blake and Burt Reynolds. Robert Blake ended up interviewing Johnny and it was hysterical. Carson showed him it’s not that easy interviewing people.
A genius,great speaker,great director and actor vs a guy on a fairly successful cop show from the 70's.
I'd like to correct the word "fairly" to "moderately."
Heyyyyyyyy, Blake was an Our Gang child star, too.😂
Blake played a mexican kid in Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
The way Orson reacted immediately shows he knew the barb was coming.
that's the abuse body-shamed people expect
@@grawakendream8980 And should.
@@Gobbersmack why do you think that
@@grawakendream8980 Because we're trying to stop fat people from dying
Welles could have retorted, "Well, I see you haven't grown up since your Little Beaver days". 😆
Classic, you don't mess with Orson.
It has been said that Welles started at the top( Citizen Kane). And worked his way to the bottom, doing commercials for barely drinkable wine. He had a lot of great gifts. The world was a better place because of him.
THEY did not like him from the getgo. He was vilified in the press for the War of the Worlds. He still made great films until the 70s
@@artivism4068 Absolutely. He was an outsider and Hollywood did not like him.
Even Welles never thought Citizen Kane was his best film. He said his favorite was The Trial.
And remember, as Orson Welles said---"Paul mason said nearly 100 years ago---"we will sell no wine, before it's time""!!!
@@richmonroe203 Sounds like someone else...oh yeah, Trump...outsider who exposed the ****whole that is D.C., Hollyweird, MSM and Big Tech.
I remember that from years ago, Orson Welles slam dunked Robert Blake for that one!!!
Brilliant the stare down, and how Carson checks his laughter. I will return.
Orson Wells was more than a match for Robert Blake.
Orson was not only intellectually superior to a great many people, but he also gave a great many Hollywood greats their legendary nicknames.
*Welles
And still fat
Orson Welles got that line from Winston Churchill. But it was still a great zinger!
Don't mess with a man who knows how to battle with the heads of the motion picture moguls even
Damn.... That was fast and deadly!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
My Fave is to quote Shakespeare and ask my witless insecure antagonist: "Ohhhh..you don't know Shakespeare...and I thought you were an educated man!"😅😅😅
so ,..you have tho know Shakespeare to have intelligence? ..or a bunch of time to waste
@@williamallen319 "Educated". Different than 'intelligence.'
Orson Welles was a genius. I would have been in such awe in his presence, the last thing I would have done is insult him. Low class move by Blake.
Truth Indeed, And you see God Don like ugly. It came back to Black after being accused of killing his Child's Mother years later.
Really! Like he can't think of anything else to start the conversation with?
The ultimate burn!
There is no man that ever live could be as cool as Robert Blàke
Dont you mean a tool like Robert Blake?
Have another drink Robert!😂
Blake- "You make Wimpy look skimpy... Welles- "Oh,,,,you little Rascal you"....😉
Orson even knew how good of a roast that was.
Blake set himself up for a comeback...very entertaining this Robert
Awesome keep them coming
He SORTA disrespected him out the gate by not shaking his hand and reaching around him(mr.wells) to shake eds hand...so i loved when mr. Wells put him in his place..👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Blake: Meet you outside later where 'someone' is going to shoot ya.
Or yeah I shot my wife says Blake!😉
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was perfect!
Great clap back Mr. Welles!
Wow Welles nailed him with one punch.
He’s probably had to say that line since he was 10
Orson Wells just crushed Robert Blake with his brain
*Welles
What in the hell was Blake thinking?! Attempting a verbal jousting with Welles!? What a jerk. Orson took the wind right out of his sails. And, 'that's the name of that tune'.
Great moment!
Woah! hahaha got ya, great comeback. I love Orson Welles, all the great people are gone, i never knew him but i would loved to have known him, his great voice, his friendly personality, and of course his excellent movies...whats not to like?, and F for Fake being one of my all time favorite films --- and its free on youtube, even better.
You're right, all the great people are gone, and look what we're left with. The entertainment industry, including actors, media corporations, musicians et al, absolutely suck.
Blake brought a bb gun to an RPG fight.
Blake was great as John Wintergreen in Electraglide in Blue. 1972?
And, In Cold Blood. Which is what went on here. 🤣
The wit.... incredible
I hope Blake and O. J. Simpson are enjoying each other's company.
Robert Blake was a bit of a fool but he was amazing in lost highway!
Plus he got away with murder
And dats the name of dat tune.
Brilliant!
These actors were worth GOLD, they were witty, classy and legends. Nowadays it's just about swearing, laughing about a ghost in the room, pure nonsense.
Always loved Robert Blake !
Even though he shot his wife dead ? SMH !
@@bamp618 Well, she was trying to extort him. Not saying he was right, but I understand why he did it.
@@TimCarter Then I guess OJ should get a pass, too?
Kudos to Winston Churchill. The orginator of this classic comeback. What can you say about the iconic treasure to the world 'Mr. Wells.'
Oh my God that was so savage lol!!
“The Wells Podcast”… would have rocked.
If I am not mistaken they already knew each other and were friends. Just having fun with each other. I remember they were a Merv Griffin Show together as well.
cloudtoground -- Sorry mate, just can't tell if your comment is sincere or sarcastic . . .
@@jamesngetha6760He's serious. The dialogue was scripted... they got along great.
We haven't seen him in quite some time, but Robert Blake is still living at age 88. He's one of a very small handful of former child actors still with us who appeared in the "Our Gang" comedies of the 1930's.
Robert Blake is 88 already? Wow,Time really does fly.
@@adriennerobinson1180 88 already? he was first famous 9 decades ago.
well now he's dead
He passed away on June 8, 2023.
Orson didn't play that sh*t. He was quick with it.
God I loved that!
Robert Blake always had Napoleons syndrome. Little mans complex. So he regularly tried to be the loudest and toughest guy in the room, as a defense/coping mechanism. There are a lot of stories about him getting into uncomfortable situations like this.
nowadays it's called shortman syndrome.life did t turn out good for robert
Very true. And then whined about not getting acting jobs. He damn near insulted everybody in the movie industry and their wives husbands et al. Was also a know-it-all belligerent on movie sets according to other actors directors. A real shame as he was a good actor. Which many in industry have reiterated over the decades. He was always his own worst enemy.
@@tarnsand440 yes I have heard similar things about his behavior on set. There are more than a few clips online of him being on Carson and other talk shows, acting strange, like he was drunk or on something. I think hosts that had him on were just doing it to appease fans, and maybe to also encourage an incident that could get good ratings for them. He thought very highly of himself. Maybe too much. Maybe that’s why no one attempted to help him during his murder trial. I sometimes wonder if he was negatively affected by being a child star?
Truth Indeed
So did Robert Conrad.
Mr. Blake was very outmatched when confronting someone of Mr.Wells intellect!
I was just thinking about this yesterday and thought about looking it up but didn't think I would find it. I remembered it exactly.
that was hilarious, did you get a load of the look on ol Beretta’s face? 🤣
C’mon where is the rest of this?

Listening to Blake, I was reminded of how very disturbed he was and it was dismissed as him being quirky . . . until he killed his wife (found guilty of wrongful death in civil court; the criminal case against him failed.) .
Thank folks is the classiest Bitch slap from the Great Orson Wells
Oldie but goodie...
You don't mess with the great Orson.
What a crass and incredibly vulgar thing to say- esp. to such a great man.
REAL Late-Nite TV.
... Makes one Nostalgic, doesn't it?

Not as a grade but as a correction.
@@swskitso I will see your vowel, and raise you a thanks
Blake was still a little kid making movies, when Orson was directing his first films.
Classic! 🔥
First of all, that's Orson Welles.....the guy is a Legend, an American Icon! And he was a genius! Blake should have never fired that gun!!
Welles borrowed that line from Churchill.
Yes he did.
The criminal Orson Wells was not original.
20alphabet The OG.
Supposedly; Here is the version from The Daily Republican-Sentinel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in August ***1882*** [DRSW], long before Churchill:
A Conservative member of the House of Commons, who talks much on foreign affairs, but not wisely, was passing last week through palace yard, when a man ran against him. “Do you know, sir, who I am?” said the member, “I am Mr. --, M.P.” “What?” irreverently answered the man, “are you Mr. --, the greatest fool in the House of Commons?” “You are drunk,” exclaimed the M.P. “Even if I am,” replied the man, “I have the advantage over you - I shall be sober to-morrow, whereas you will remain the fool you are to-day.”
Many people stole from Churchill, the dest source of wisdom, may be ever. Included is- you can vote your way into socialism, but you'll have to shoot your way out.
It is the long ferocious stare after that comeback that did it for me.
Check out John Candy's imitation of Orson Welles. It's a classic.
