I was blessed with a near 60-year career as a studio singer and one of my most favorite gigs was singing backup in an 8-voice group for six years on the Dean Martin TY Show. Dean was the greatest…kind, funny, treated everyone with respect and no star ego ever. I miss you, my favorite boss. Thanks for the memories ❤️❤️❤️
Deano was the absolute coolest cat. He had such charm and grace and mischievousness with a great smile, laugh and incredible voice. Plus he boxed for some years when he was young. How cool for you to have gotten to be around him at work and probably Christmas party event thing. Him, Clint Eastwood and Jimmy Stewart are class acts.
I am born 1984. So Dean was not my generation. But often when i am in a bad mood i watch the Dean Martin show. It makes me smile everytime. Must have been a highlight for you Diana. Kind of envy you for that experience.
I was about 15 when this aired. One of the things I appreciate most about watching these clips is it reminds me of my dad, sitting in his recliner in his boxers with his alka-seltzer fizzing beside him, laughing at all these guys from his generation. I miss my dad, and I miss these times.
Yeah my dad watched from his recliner too in bvds and socks. Had one of those end tables with the magazine rack and attached early American style lampshade. He drilled holes on one side to hold his pipes and hung floss swords from the lamp switch. Had a bottle of Mentholatum and another of Tums. Mom just let him have his spot. And NOBODY was allowed to take any of his shit or sit there. (No problem since he sat in his underwear!) Grandkids were always trying to steal his fruit flavored Tums because they tasted like SweetTarts ! Sure miss him.
Can never get tired of Dino! What an underrated entertainer! My favourite Dean story is where he would throw a party at his house...go to bed, while the party was still happening...pretend to be a neighbour and call the police about the noise. God Bless Dean Martin!
This is a flat-out brilliant performance by a man whose reputation for being drunk was carefully crafted and effortlessly executed. There will never be another like Dean Martin.
@@brucerosati9434 No, that was Steve McQueen. Dean Martin is a distinctly unique combination of a handsome crooner, a likeable drunk, variety show host, dancer, comedian, straight man and dramatic actor. Some people are some of those things, but there is no one else who is all of them like he was.
@@donalddennis2308 And the proof (no pun intended) of your assertion comes from...where? And please, don't say, "Because it's obvious he's smashed." It's the brilliance of performers like Dean Martin that leads certain schmucks to draw the wrong conclusion. You better have a good answer, pal, or we'll just chalk you up as a well, a schumck.
My parents surprised me when I was in the 8th grade with reruns of the tonight show with Johnny Carson by now they are probably ruined due to playing the episodes over and over again
Thank you for your service, I do appreciate you, and all your fellow veterans. 🇺🇸🙏 My dad got to see one of Bob's shows during WW2, and was a fan till he passed.

@@uncletio0428 Why? Because they walk after the course of the world. They give their service to their flesh and this world’s evil. They relish in material things which one day will crumble into dust. Theirs is a citizenship under the wicked god of this world, and unfortunately are promised death and judgement as a result of their sin (l Corinthians 15:22 KJV). But they could have the promise of really “having it all.” They could be rich in “all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” by being a member of the church, His body ( Ephesians 1:3; l Corinthians 12:27; Colossians 1:18 KJV). Instead of a citizenship here, they could receive a citizenship in heaven (Philippians 3:20 KJV).

Witty man Hope was & a bit deaf. Wonder if it was cuz of all his USO tours? I had a charity golf tournament & Bob Hope sat at my table & I laughed all thru dinner. Witty. What a humanitarian!
In the day when entertainers were entertaining. Today, instead of appreciating this genius the pc crowd would be hollering for a boycott because they smoked on air.
God the longer it goes on the better it gets. I love it. They aren't promoting anything, they aren't fake interviewing with pre-interview questions, they aren't comedians doing their sets as fake-interviews...they're just shooting the shit, improvising, making it up, hilarious, awkward, weird, fantastic conversation. And Dean is definitely not "fake-drunk" here...he's always in control, even when drunk. He's unbelievable. What a gem.
Every once in a while I swing by here to watch this video again. I love Dean. What a genius. He always puts a smile on my face. Those were the days alright.
Mark Harrington ... Foster would always get Dean to lose it. I never seen Dean hold himself together when Foster was doing his act. He just loved Foster to pieces.
I'd forgotten how much fun we had all those years ago. Smoking, foul language and drinking encouraged. Add these stars and you can't help but listen in and share in the fun. Thanks for posting this golden oldie. RIP, Gentlemen
Dean always seem to be more approachable more at ease and more willing to embrace the public like he was just a regular guy I have to admit I did get to see Frank Sinatra perform at a concert in Houston Texas April 1985 at the summit I was with my mom
I liked DM for his way with a song - but I don't see him reaching that peak of perfection Sinatra brought to his "In The Wee Small Hours" album. Like RobTheNotary, I got to see Sinatra in person - at a 1990 London concert here in the UK when his closing rendition of "New York, New York" sent the audience home knowing they'd witnessed a legend in action.
Watched another video on Dean Martin today, and my impression of him in that is borne out here--aside from being a great singer and a spot-on actor, he had a laid-back persona that brings out so much humor! Won't be another like him in my lifetime, I'm sure.
I had no idea how good we had it back then. Not that I complained or anything, I just had a great time playing sport, working, going out to the beach, movies, live music with friends. Living a good life but just didn't realise how great a time it was.
I loved how Johnny had his guests on and let them be the center of attention. Today its too much about the hosts being the center. Those were great late night shows !
Dean is buried in a simple crypt near Marilyn Monroe that says DEAN MARTIN (cant remember date of birth except it was in 1917): 1917 - December 25, 1995 "Everybody loves somebody sometime"
Carson knew that helping his guests look good made the show good. He was as sharp as anyone but didn't have to get all the laughs himself. Jack Benny had the same smarts. He let the cast get the laughs at his expense knowing that the quality of the show was what kept it at the top of the ratings.
No. Dean was always sober. It was an act. I loved him as a kid he was my favorite. I still love him and I'm sixty now. The great old time talent and comedians. Nothing but craP today!
He was drunk and that's no joke and no act either. Drunken chainsmokers. Johnny was uncomfortable trying to understand Dean in his stupor. Not a fan at all.
Interesting how Dean played the drunk so well, of course the people around him played along. After his death many of his fellow performers open up to the truth he drank very little. Dean often used apple juice as it had the look of a strong drink. One of the give a ways, the same jokes such as when he looked around and said "how all these people get into your room" were part of his well rehearsed routines. Jerry seinfeld told a story about when he was just getting started in the business, and had to follow dean as a guess. Before going on the two talked a bit back stage and Dean was stone sober, Jerry was amazed how easily he sled into the tipsy guest while in the interview.
Dean did not rehearse anything. He'd memorize lines for a movie, but that was about it. Ten years playing slapstick comedy with Jerry Lewis gave him all the improv experience he needed, and he was always very good at it. Not as overbearing as Jerry Lewis, but often funnier.
My sorry funny my mom and I and were on a flight to Paris. Sh e said what would you happy if we went if went down ? Weird question but I said I would be with Robert Redford with Willie singing. She said John Wayne with Dean Martin singing.
I loved Dean Martin. What a great guy! How blessed are we that we live in a time when we can still see and hear these wonderful entertainers. They will never be forgotten. I wish I could hear what they bleeped near the end!
As a boy I recall occasionally being allowed to stay up late in order to see a celebrity on Carson. In 2019 I can't think of anyone I would stay up past 1030 to see
I'm a 65 year old man. I remember this episode. I am a great Dean Martin fan. I give thanks for youtube in that it allows me to see again a kind of comedy long gone glimmering.
I remember watching this particular show as a 19 year old. And any 19 year old reading this now, I will guarantee you in 40 years time will be saying the same as I am today. WTF has all that time gone?
Ohh how I loved Carsons show. Watched it all the time growing up. Wonderful, fresh, real and extremelly entertaining. Can't find that anymore. Those were truly magical special times.
Fun fact, while Dean did love to drink, mostly it was an act. He used to sip on Apple Juice all while telling people it was whisky. It was part of his act to be the Drunk Guy all the time.
It will never be that way again and that is why it is so special to those of us who remember it like it was yesterday. These men were role models who shaped our lives in small, large and ways we are not even aware of. Despite all the troubles of the time, we could always relax and get a much needed reality check by watching Carson at the end of the day. We knew it wouldn't last forever and now 40 years later we wake up with the realization that "forever" is here. The younger generation today does not know what they have missed and you can't tell them. That is their loss and that is the tragedy of being reminded of what "we", the old Frankie/Annette generation have lost over the years. Thanks guys for making it special.
Roll models?? Hardly and not by a long shot! It is well known that Dean and Johnny were womanizers and hard drinkers, especially Dean. And Dean was already smoking pot while he and Jerry Lewis were still together. These guys may have been funny but absolutely were not role models. Sometime read Dean and Me by Jerry Lewis. You'll learn a lot.
MaryMac I'm not the one who needs to "learn a lot, toots"! It was well known that Dean's act of being a drinker and carouser was just that, an "act". Every public figure of every time in history has their own bumps and barnacles, the fact remains that they largely kept it to themselves and which was only made public after some tell all publication years and years later. People had the courtesy and ethical moorings not to trot it out for sensationalist purposes like they do today which serves no purpose other than the almighty dollar. I "read a book once"...my gawd, what a weak statement! Rock Hudson's homosexuality was an open secret in Hollywood but was generally unknown outside the trade (same with Paul Lynde and both Darin's from Bewitched). George Reeve's dalliance with a mob bosses wife wasnt known until 30 years after his death. Problem is, you've been sold a bill of goods that no one, regardless of argument, will ever change your mind or enlighten you. Like I said, I was there, I was lucky and fortunate enough to know some of these people personally and can only tell you not to believe everything you read unless you get the information from a variety of sources including the primary. Besides, they were MY role models, and although they obviously weren't yours, I find your disrespect of me and what "I think and believe" as cowardly and tasteless befitting the troll you probably are. Get a life and stop butchering things of which you have no idea of what your speaking about. Grow up!
Yes exactly, you are so right. I was also thinking that the songs "My Way" should have been given to Dean Martin to sing, because he did everything his way, and he didn't take any guff off of anybody, and that includes Frank Sinatra, because Dean wouldn't take any of Sinatra's stuff, if you know what I mean.
If only Johnny's couch could talk! Man, the people he had on that show! So great to have these videos and the multipack compilation that was put out several years ago so we can relive late night brilliance! And apropos of nothing, I love Dean's outfit -- beige sweater and pants with an off-white jacket! And sometimes they leave in the old commercials. Crazy!
It is a sad shame that all four of these men are now gone. It was however a pleasure to meet Ed McMahon in person when he came to my hometown to promote his latest and only book he made in honor of Johnny. I got a photo with him and my now ex-wife and my first kid.
Could only watch in small doses. Jerry Lewis carried him! Of course he blossomed when they split. Sadness about his son was his downfall. That was truly horrible.
I love the " How have you been, Joey." What many people may not remember is that Joey Bishop also had an ABC late-night talk show opposite Carson for several years. Knowing that makes Dean's opening line funnier.
thejimdoherty I thought he was referring to the fact that Joey Bishop often substituted for Johnny when Johnny had time off from the show. This was often joked about by other guests as well, and even by Joey himself. When Johnny had his 10th anniversary show, Joey came on and said; “This is not really your 10th, it’s your 6th and my 4th!!”
MrSuperbombastik dude, no joke. I just feel that the tonight show should just be done by someone who’s more natural at talking to people and improvise.
Johnny carson was the best!!! I use to beg my mother and dad to let me stay up to watch the show and my father use to tell me ok but dont complain when you got to get up for school tomorrow, or. Ill let you have the belt
Agreed Carson was the best IMO. Even Leno says that he was just a fill in guy for Carson that happen to last for 20+ years. Leno knows Carson was the last of the great late night hosts. Man I miss it.
I understand that I'm certainly biased when I say Johnny Carson was the standard of late night talk shows. Being born in 1955, he came into my orbit when I was maybe 10/11yrs old. Watching these CZcams and nostalgic channels now, that show reruns of the shows, what really stands out with Carson, was his innate ability to 'lightly' poke fun at whomever was the president, which is the way it should be. But now? It's really kind of sad what passes as late night talk. I don't watch the shows of course, as my generation as long gone out of the limelight, but the articles I'll see online, that comment on the vitriol that these late night hosts now exhibit on a nightly basis. It's really kind of sad.
He was not "The King". He was "The Only". And there was no internet, etc. Stars HAD to go on his show for publicity. That's why it seems so cool. Most couldn't stand Johnny Carson. The women especially since they had to 'put out' on the side to get on the show. Known fact.
He faked his boozing & he knew enough to include his face getting a lil red. Probably used a heat lamp for a bit.. He also golfed ALOT. So he may have been golfing the day before or.
@@sandythomas921 - sorry Sandy, but you don't know what you are talking about. Dean Martin use to call the police on his own wife to break up parties at his house so he could go to sleep. He golfed six days a week when he could. He was home for dinner with his family every night when he wasn't on the road in concert or doing movies. So don't call people drunk unless you actually know the people you are talking about and not just what you read on the internet or in People Magazine.
I love that Bob puts his hand on top of his drinking mug to protect it from any ashes coming from Deans ciggarette :D (One part of Deans act was to put his cigarette ashes a little bit everywhere and especially in peoples drinks lol )
icetech6 ... About 8 years before this air ... Bob Hope and Dean and George Gobble was on. To make a long story short Dean put his ashes in George drink. It a must see tonight show. Just google tonight show Bob Hope and Dean, George Gobble and you can find it on youtube.
Watching this makes me depressed. Those days were really special. Staying up with my folks every Friday night to see Johnny and all the boys, the smoking and drinking, the comforting sound of my parents laughing. You can't match that kind of talent today. There was a real sense of freedom back then that Genx and the Millenials will never be able to experience because of the enslaving, stifling PC we have created for ourselves in this brave new world. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
I was age 15, and in 9th grade when this episode was made. Doesn't seem like it's been that long ago. I mainly watched this show during summer, because I had school the next day. Of course, after I graduated I could watch it any night of the year. This show is an American icon. Great memories.
@@vandawhitfield7373 Yea. I know I'm in the fifty plus demographic now but it's worth it. These youngsters listening to Cardi B and Nicky Minaj don't have a clue. Bad for them. Good for us!!!!!

Thank you for sharing, Diana. Hope life is treating you well. :)
Deano was the absolute coolest cat. He had such charm and grace and mischievousness with a great smile, laugh and incredible voice. Plus he boxed for some years when he was young. How cool for you to have gotten to be around him at work and probably Christmas party event thing. Him, Clint Eastwood and Jimmy Stewart are class acts.
Thanks for sharing that Diana, he was a man who melted my heart ! 💜⚘️
Omg
How lucky you are
You must have had a great time ❤

Dean in character is one of the best acts ever performed 😊

Man that sounds like my dad too.
What a wonderful post. God bless you
Yeah my dad watched from his recliner too in bvds and socks. Had one of those end tables with the magazine rack and attached early American style lampshade. He drilled holes on one side to hold his pipes and hung floss swords from the lamp switch. Had a bottle of Mentholatum and another of Tums. Mom just let him have his spot. And NOBODY was allowed to take any of his shit or sit there. (No problem since he sat in his underwear!) Grandkids were always trying to steal his fruit flavored Tums because they tasted like SweetTarts ! Sure miss him.

Yep....but it's gone forever!
Johnny Carson WILL FOREVER BE the King of Late Night TV and his guests are LEGENDARY.
Amen! What an understatement ❣️

Never seen a man more comfortable in his own skin than Deano.
I can't tell you how i envy Dean for that. Never met a man with more confidence yet on the same time being a nice polite man.
“You’re not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.” - Dean Martin
Joe e Lewis was the originator of that holding on joke
He also said something to the effect of ..I feel sorry for people that don’t drink .. when they wake up that’s the best they will feel all day .😄
Been there and done that..lol
Dean also said somewhere along the way that …scotch and carrot juice was his favorite drink …he gets drunk but he can see well …
In the day when entertainers were entertaining. Today, instead of appreciating this genius the pc crowd would be hollering for a boycott because they smoked on air.
Dean said "That's fucking bullshit." I can't tell what Johnny said. Love these guys. When men were men.
He said Son of a bitch lol when i saw him say that i was like damn he didnt like that lol
It looks like he said more. I think he dropped an "F" bomb along with that "Son of a Bitch".
DonDraperism he said f-you dummy
you gotta come back more often you drunken son of a bitch ♡
Johnny said......
"You drunk S.O.B!!"
God the longer it goes on the better it gets. I love it.

so true. The lack of promotion and then how now it is all promotion. Once upon a time the world was not gross
I sure do miss Johnny Carso, Dean Martin, Bob Hope. They have made me laugh for years. I could watch these comedians all day long. Miss those days.
Every once in a while I swing by here to watch this video again. I love Dean. What a genius. He always puts a smile on my face. Those were the days alright.
I do so also. There's quite a few now that I like to sit back and watch.
I was 16 and I loved watching Johnny
Dean and Foster were the most sober drunks to ever grace our screens, big and small. RIP to both.
Mark Harrington ... Foster would always get Dean to lose it. I never seen Dean hold himself together when Foster was doing his act. He just loved Foster to pieces.

Always liked Dino Over Sinatra as a Singer & an Actor.? May he RIP. Loved his westerns with the Duke, that they made together.
MyREDTAIL I also am a bigger Dino fan...
Dean always seem to be more approachable more at ease and more willing to embrace the public like he was just a regular guy
I have to admit I did get to see Frank Sinatra perform at a concert in Houston Texas April 1985 at the summit I was with my mom
Greatest all around entertainer God ever created: Dean Martin.
I liked DM for his way with a song - but I don't see him reaching that peak
of perfection Sinatra brought to his "In The Wee Small Hours" album. Like
RobTheNotary, I got to see Sinatra in person - at a 1990 London concert
here in the UK when his closing rendition of "New York, New York" sent
the audience home knowing they'd witnessed a legend in action.
Dean Martin, from what I've heard just used drinking as a "schtick" but never really drank all that much. Loved his show.
I used to wait, very excited, to see which “mystery guest” would pop out from behind the scenes on Dean’s show. Good times!
Dean was popular a little before my time, but such a fan, a great nice guy.

Watched another video on Dean Martin today, and my impression of him in that is borne out here--aside from being a great singer and a spot-on actor, he had a laid-back persona that brings out so much humor! Won't be another like him in my lifetime, I'm sure.
There is NO way they will ever come close to having stars like what have appeared in this video.Simply the BEST
Bob Hope: "I'm just waiting for a bus." rotflol
So true and very sad
The old Hollywood set a standard that will never again be seen.
Infinitely more entertaining than anything on late night currently.
Johnny was and still is the king of late night. No one comes close, and to see Dino and Mr. Hope on the same show...... how cool, classic.
The greatest ever. You’ll never see this kind of talent again.
I watch this over and over, never get tired of it.
What a classic segment that can be treasured forever.
How I miss these times I'm so thankful that I grew up in the best time and didn't even know it
Same m8!
me too
Same here. Younger generations don’t have anything that compares to this. They’re all watching the Kardashians and Jersey Shore repeats.

I worked with Dean briefly in 1972. He was charming, considerate, smart and always sober. I'll always remember him fondly.
You are quite good with the digital social networks. My mom wouldn't be able to chat on CZcams.
he doesn't
Pam Sullivan well he was definitely pissed here.

Dean often used apple juice as it had the look of a strong drink. One of the give a ways, the same jokes such as when he looked around and said "how all these people get into your room" were part of his well rehearsed routines. Jerry seinfeld told a story about when he was just getting started in the business, and had to follow dean as a guess. Before going on the two talked a bit back stage and Dean was stone sober, Jerry was amazed how easily he sled into the tipsy guest while in the interview.
you are quite correct
Jerry Signified? Seinfeld?
Dean did not rehearse anything. He'd memorize lines for a movie, but that was about it. Ten years playing slapstick comedy with Jerry Lewis gave him all the improv experience he needed, and he was always very good at it. Not as overbearing as Jerry Lewis, but often funnier.
My sorry funny my mom and I and were on a flight to Paris. Sh e said what would you happy if we went if went down ? Weird question but I said I would be with Robert Redford with Willie singing. She said John Wayne with Dean Martin singing.
9:10 - lol - little did Johnny know that Dean Martin was dressed 10 years ahead of their time. By 1985, Dean's outfit was all the rave.
Now that was entertainment! Absolutely brilliant! Never to be repeated or copied ever!
I loved Dean Martin. What a great guy! How blessed are we that we live in a time when we can still see and hear these wonderful entertainers. They will never be forgotten. I wish I could hear what they bleeped near the end!
Watching Dean Martin and the gold diggers with my dad,God I miss him.
Sitting in his chair drinking his tab and sharing his doo dads. Wonderful times.
I miss this kind of entertainment. Johnny was one of a kind and so were the actors.
As a boy I recall occasionally being allowed to stay up late in order to see a celebrity on Carson. In 2019 I can't think of anyone I would stay up past 1030 to see
KMN 0341 can’t think of anybody I’d even turn the tv on for 🤔
I agree
Dave Chappelle is the only one I can think of
I couldn't agree more
If you were lucky enough to be around back then, you'll remember these shows. A+++
How I miss those days! Simply best of the best. Dean Martin = class.
Love Dean!!!! Great interview!! Good old days!!
By far the most ENTERTAINING INTERVIEW i have ever watched,when you watch this group your watching the best..
Thanks for posting
Dean is good looking man
Johnny was so quick-witted. He got him right back on his jacket comment. “This is a nice outfit if you have a chicken takeout stand.“ 😂🤣😂🤣
When I cook Italian/ Dean is singing in the backround and everything tastes better!
Yo me too!
thats amore
When I cook Italian, I listen to Pavarotti. If I listen to Dean, I always put to much wine in the sauce.
I'm a 65 year old man. I remember this episode. I am a great Dean Martin fan. I give thanks for youtube in that it allows me to see again a kind of comedy long gone glimmering.
I'm 62. Neither of us could have imagined CZcams back then.
My favorite . He's a mans man!
56 year old checking in. Being able to watch any video you want by pushing a button, not in my imagination. What a great time to be alive.
+gpearson27 this is the only thing I've been addicted to on my life, can't stop!
I remember watching this particular show as a 19 year old. And any 19 year old reading this now, I will guarantee you in 40 years time will be saying the same as I am today. WTF has all that time gone?
Ohh how I loved Carsons show. Watched it all the time growing up. Wonderful, fresh, real and extremelly entertaining.
Can't find that anymore. Those were truly magical special times.
RIP ALL OF THESE TALENTED ARTISTS!!!
This might be the first time I saw Johnny actually lose control of the show....hilarious.!
This is why Johnny was and is the alltime master. Every minute is gold

The 70's , what a time!
I was ten years old and I watched this episode with my dad....I thought he was going to die from laughing too hard...its still just as funny 😂😂😂
Fun fact, while Dean did love to drink, mostly it was an act. He used to sip on Apple Juice all while telling people it was whisky. It was part of his act to be the Drunk Guy all the time.
Just me, or is there nobody today that comes anywhere close to these three guys?! Where has all the true and genuine talent gone?!
You nailed that comment Erich, I can’t watch any of the so called “Tonight Shows”. They all stink on ice!!!
It will never be that way again and that is why it is so special to those of us who remember it like it was yesterday. These men were role models who shaped our lives in small, large and ways we are not even aware of. Despite all the troubles of the time, we could always relax and get a much needed reality check by watching Carson at the end of the day. We knew it wouldn't last forever and now 40 years later we wake up with the realization that "forever" is here. The younger generation today does not know what they have missed and you can't tell them. That is their loss and that is the tragedy of being reminded of what "we", the old Frankie/Annette generation have lost over the years. Thanks guys for making it special.
Roll models?? Hardly and not by a long shot! It is well known that Dean and Johnny were womanizers and hard drinkers, especially Dean. And Dean was already smoking pot while he and Jerry Lewis were still together. These guys may have been funny but absolutely were not role models. Sometime read Dean and Me by Jerry Lewis. You'll learn a lot.
MaryMac I'm not the one who needs to "learn a lot, toots"! It was well known that Dean's act of being a drinker and carouser was just that, an "act". Every public figure of every time in history has their own bumps and barnacles, the fact remains that they largely kept it to themselves and which was only made public after some tell all publication years and years later. People had the courtesy and ethical moorings not to trot it out for sensationalist purposes like they do today which serves no purpose other than the almighty dollar. I "read a book once"...my gawd, what a weak statement! Rock Hudson's homosexuality was an open secret in Hollywood but was generally unknown outside the trade (same with Paul Lynde and both Darin's from Bewitched). George Reeve's dalliance with a mob bosses wife wasnt known until 30 years after his death. Problem is, you've been sold a bill of goods that no one, regardless of argument, will ever change your mind or enlighten you. Like I said, I was there, I was lucky and fortunate enough to know some of these people personally and can only tell you not to believe everything you read unless you get the information from a variety of sources including the primary. Besides, they were MY role models, and although they obviously weren't yours, I find your disrespect of me and what "I think and believe" as cowardly and tasteless befitting the troll you probably are. Get a life and stop butchering things of which you have no idea of what your speaking about. Grow up!
@@peterpherfinion6671 Thank You,for the memories. Well stated.
Other than my Father...Dino was the smoothest cat to ever walk this earth. Too bad times gotta change.
Dean Martin was a class act! He was cool, he was witty,he was one of a kind,and he didn’t give a damn, he was his own man!
Yes exactly, you are so right.
I was also thinking that the songs "My Way" should have been given to Dean Martin to sing, because he did everything his way, and he didn't take any guff off of anybody, and that includes Frank Sinatra, because Dean wouldn't take any of Sinatra's
stuff, if you know what I mean.
I ha e watched this probably 50 times and I still laugh every time.
playin Lego at my father's feet while he howled with laughter. Now I am!... 'Thanks for the memories'... :)
Hard to imagine these fellows are no longer with us. Thank you God for these shows on youtube. Thanks FredFlix.
This was a Friday night. So, in 1975 I was waiting for “The Midnight Special” after Carson.
What you're seeing here is three professionals who make it look so easy.
Including Ed, 4 incredible legends sitting there together. Wow, none of them talking about politics.
Yep to this thread!!
My how I miss these people
George Devine waayyy better than what we have today as far as so called entertainers
George Devine xi
vocation a d, w
You're not alone....
If only Johnny's couch could talk! Man, the people he had on that show! So great to have these videos and the multipack compilation that was put out several years ago so we can relive late night brilliance! And apropos of nothing, I love Dean's outfit -- beige sweater and pants with an off-white jacket! And sometimes they leave in the old commercials. Crazy!
Gosh. Dean Martin was hammered. Never be able to do that now. Comes on the show with a drink and a cigarette. Oh, the good ole days.
Don Manion I read that Martin was putting on a act much of the time.
It was an act Don
good ole days of lung cancer..which both died of.....
@@CanMav I don't think so in this one (another poster figured out that Carson said "you drunk S.O.B. jokingly at the end of the segment).
@C. Buck Hyres Dean Martin died of lung cancer and emphysema. Johnny from emphysema ,which is so much better and totally unrelated to smoking. ugh
It is a sad shame that all four of these men are now gone. It was however a pleasure to meet Ed McMahon in person when he came to my hometown to promote his latest and only book he made in honor of Johnny. I got a photo with him and my now ex-wife and my first kid.
Doc still alive, amazing.
Dean was an all around talent, comedy, actor, singer, loved him!
you think thats comedy? wow sad. thats just an alcoholic being an alcoholic
@@ernesto2491 Get educated schmoe, it was an act. You probably believe reality shows are unscripted too.
Could only watch in small doses. Jerry Lewis carried him! Of course he blossomed when they split. Sadness about his son was his downfall. That was truly horrible.
You forgot alcoholic
rondmc44 Dean was a piss head
Loved them ❤️ Dean Martin was hilarious !
No matter how many times I watch this...I laugh!
I love the " How have you been, Joey." What many people may not remember is that Joey Bishop also had an ABC late-night talk show opposite Carson for several years. Knowing that makes Dean's opening line funnier.
thejimdoherty I thought he was referring to the fact that Joey Bishop often substituted for Johnny when Johnny had time off from the show. This was often joked about by other guests as well, and even by Joey himself. When Johnny had his 10th anniversary show, Joey came on and said; “This is not really your 10th, it’s your 6th and my 4th!!”
Linda Shelley ...me too Linda. It is a well knew fact that Joey Bishop was a regular guest host for Johnny. Also Dean was a close friend.
@@toniwilson1579 Joey was very funny and quick.
And who was Joey's sidekick?...Anyone?...That's right...Regis Philbin!!!
Rest in peace - true legends of the entertainment industry
Dean was the King back then! amazing talent! Nice to see Bob on the same show! Carson can't control those 2.
Legendary guest dean Martin, Bob hope, two of the best ever live
Carson set the standard that NO ONE can live up to.
MrSuperbombastik dude, no joke. I just feel that the tonight show should just be done by someone who’s more natural at talking to people and improvise.
Joan Rivers should have "inherited"his sjow, not Leno
Jimmy Kimmel comes close. And he's a good guy. Johnny was a prick.
Haleluya
Johnny carson was the best!!! I use to beg my mother and dad to let me stay up to watch the show and my father use to tell me ok but dont complain when you got to get up for school tomorrow, or. Ill let you have the belt
Johnny Carson was the last true king of late night.
Agreed Carson was the best IMO. Even Leno says that he was just a fill in guy for Carson that happen to last for 20+ years. Leno knows Carson was the last of the great late night hosts. Man I miss it.
only stupid to say so!!!!
RIGHT ❗❗❗
I understand that I'm certainly biased when I say Johnny Carson was the standard of late night talk shows. Being born in 1955, he came into my orbit when I was maybe 10/11yrs old. Watching these CZcams and nostalgic channels now, that show reruns of the shows, what really stands out with Carson, was his innate ability to 'lightly' poke fun at whomever was the president, which is the way it should be. But now? It's really kind of sad what passes as late night talk. I don't watch the shows of course, as my generation as long gone out of the limelight, but the articles I'll see online, that comment on the vitriol that these late night hosts now exhibit on a nightly basis. It's really kind of sad.
He was not "The King". He was "The Only". And there was no internet, etc. Stars HAD to go on his show for publicity. That's why it seems so cool. Most couldn't stand Johnny Carson. The women especially since they had to 'put out' on the side to get on the show. Known fact.
Oh how i loved this man....I was a teenager at the time but I still love his songs....
Dean walks out with a drink and cigarette. This was reality TV.
Except that he wasn't really drunk, it was a schtick... about as realistic as today's reality TV. He's legit hilarious and super talented though.
@@halwakka504 No he was really drunk, his face was red af.
He was letting us know right at the beginning on purpose though.
He faked his boozing & he knew enough to include his face getting a lil red. Probably used a heat lamp for a bit.. He also golfed ALOT. So he may have been golfing the day before or.
@@RamblinRose-hh3rz They all hung out down here in Palm Springs!
@@sandythomas921 - sorry Sandy, but you don't know what you are talking about. Dean Martin use to call the police on his own wife to break up parties at his house so he could go to sleep. He golfed six days a week when he could. He was home for dinner with his family every night when he wasn't on the road in concert or doing movies. So don't call people drunk unless you actually know the people you are talking about and not just what you read on the internet or in People Magazine.
I love that Bob puts his hand on top of his drinking mug to protect it from any ashes coming from Deans ciggarette :D
(One part of Deans act was to put his cigarette ashes a little bit everywhere and especially in peoples drinks lol )
icetech6 ... About 8 years before this air ... Bob Hope and Dean and George Gobble was on. To make a long story short Dean put his ashes in George drink. It a must see tonight show. Just google tonight show Bob Hope and Dean, George Gobble and you can find it on youtube.
Watching this makes me depressed. Those days were really special. Staying up with my folks every Friday night to see Johnny and all the boys, the smoking and drinking, the comforting sound of my parents laughing. You can't match that kind of talent today. There was a real sense of freedom back then that Genx and the Millenials will never be able to experience because of the enslaving, stifling PC we have created for ourselves in this brave new world. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
Well said.
- I feel your thoughts...
Well, that enslaving, stifling PC brought me--a Gen X--here and taught me all about these wonderful performers.
Well said.
Gen X ? seriously.... I watched Johnny Carson all the time growing up and I'm Gen X ... you have the wrong generation - its millennials and Gen Y
He comes out sloshed.... LOVE IT!!!! LOL. I SO miss these shows before simple comments made in humor became grounds for a legal action......
I was age 15, and in 9th grade when this episode was made. Doesn't seem like it's been that long ago. I mainly watched this show during summer, because I had school the next day. Of course, after I graduated I could watch it any night of the year. This show is an American icon. Great memories.
Pure MASTERS at their craft. Thank God we were lucky enough to have them !
Love the old commercials! And Dean was a real hoot!
Dean Martin will always remind me of my Dad, Frank Taormina. He looked and acted just like him at one time ! ....Frankie Taormina.
I grew up on Johnny, remember him in the 60's.
40 years ago.
God I miss the seventies

You are a moron.
Ditto to that comment

@@vandawhitfield7373
Yea.
I know I'm in the fifty plus demographic now but it's worth it.
These youngsters listening to Cardi B and Nicky Minaj don't have a clue.
Bad for them.
Good for us!!!!!
These actor/comedians were one of a kind and I will truly miss all of them and their real sense of humor!!
Two days till Christmas brought me here (12/2022)....and.....I was looking for Dean....I found him/lol.
Sad there are nobody out there who can even come close to these legends.
