entertainment capital of the world, Las
Vegas, Nevada.
3
00:00:24,910 --> 00:00:28,930
The glittering city of excitement and
laughter provides the scintillating
4
00:00:28,930 --> 00:00:30,970
backdrop for tonight's star -studded
roast.
5
00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:37,050
Ladies and gentlemen, from the Ziegfeld

6
00:00:37,050 --> 00:00:38,570
entertainers are here tonight.
7
00:00:38,870 --> 00:00:43,990
They're in Las Vegas in person as Dean
Martin honors our man of the hour.
8
00:00:45,070 --> 00:00:46,310

17
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,220
With tonight's very special man of the
hour, Dean Kaplan.
18
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:42,700
We'll get it here.
19
00:01:43,180 --> 00:01:49,560
At the beautiful MGM Grand Hotel in Las
Vegas to honor Gabe Kaplan. Not because
20
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,860
he's a great humanitarian.
21
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:53,460
Not because he's a great comedian.
22
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,240
We honor Gabe Kaplan because we couldn't
get Fonzie.
23
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,180
When I went to school, I had a teacher
that looked just like Gabe.
24
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,460
She had a mustache, too.
25
00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:18,590
When I went to school, I used to do
nutty things just like the sweat hogs.
26
00:02:18,590 --> 00:02:22,750
there was this kid who used to sit in
front of me. Every day I used to pull
27
00:02:22,750 --> 00:02:26,370
hair. Today, he's Tully Savalas.
28
00:02:30,090 --> 00:02:34,170
There was a rough school, boy, I tell
you. Fist fights every day.
29
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:38,830
There were so many broken hands in our
class, the kids had to pledge allegiance
30
00:02:38,830 --> 00:02:39,830
with their feet.
31
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,200
As you know, Gabe's show is on TV during
the family hour. But millions of our
32
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,340
viewers wish Welcome Back, Cotter could
be shown a little later, like 1980.
33
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,560
Before I introduce my first guest, I
just want to say one thing to you. You
34
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,560
can't have everything. Remember the
famous words of the hunchback of Notre
35
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,300
who once said to his tailor, forget my
pants, just fix my jacket.
36
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:25,560
Yeah, as a matter of fact, hold it down.
When he checked in, oh, no, I ain't
37
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,720
getting off now. I got you going. As a
matter of fact, when he checked into the
38
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,220
MGM Grand, they not only gave him a
beautiful suite, they gave him a
39
00:03:33,220 --> 00:03:34,220
filled with ripples.
40
00:03:48,430 --> 00:03:49,570
They said, why is that right?
41
00:03:49,870 --> 00:03:54,410
They said war costs millions of dollars
a day and love just a few bucks a night.
42
00:03:59,330 --> 00:04:03,270
He grew up rough. Rough and tough.
43
00:04:03,490 --> 00:04:06,970
When he was a kid, he used to wear wool
tweed pants and no underwear.
44
00:04:08,290 --> 00:04:09,810
They used to call him Roe High.
45
00:04:13,430 --> 00:04:16,490
I see Johnny Bencher. Johnny, when we
were kids, we were suspicious.
46
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:19,320
We used to slide into first base on a
walk.
47
00:04:19,579 --> 00:04:24,120
Oh, we trusted nobody because we had
been lied to. We didn't believe that
48
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,120
goose nonsense.
49
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,960
Jack and Jill went up the hill to get a
pail of water. We knew water didn't flow
50
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:30,960
uphill.
51
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,380
We didn't believe that Santa Claus
nonsense.
52
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,140
We know ain't no white man gonna ride no
reindeer through Harlem after midnight.
53
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,440
Come back to the show. They had the one
where you had kids that had been
54
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,740
industrious. They had saved their money
and they put it in a fish on the wall.
55
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:57,840
And I remember little Lawrence Jacobs
said he was going to take the money and
56
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:00,280
invest it so he could become a tycoon.
57
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:05,740
That's what we used to call the guy that
sold neckwear in our neighborhood.
58
00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:21,090
just to Gabe Kaplan but to sweat hogs
all over the world to all of you young
59
00:05:21,090 --> 00:05:26,390
people in all the schools I say seek for
knowledge go to a college stay there
60
00:05:26,390 --> 00:05:31,510
until you are through if they could make
penicillin out of moldy cheese they can
61
00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:32,830
make something out of you
62
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,900
She's a young Puerto Rican lady who
works for Gabe as his maid.
63
00:05:56,460 --> 00:06:02,440
Puerto Rico to Hollywood to Las Vegas,
Miss Consuela Garcia.
64
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,280
Bravo! She is.
65
00:06:04,940 --> 00:06:06,140
Consuela Garcia.
66
00:06:19,660 --> 00:06:22,520
I tell you about the real Gabe Kaplan.
67
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,700
The girls he goes out with, ay bendito
sea, they're losers.
68
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,840
You know, he dates one who says she's an
actress.
69
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,820
Please give me a break.
70
00:06:33,940 --> 00:06:35,780
She had one big fart.
71
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,500
She bit Lorne Green in an Alpo
commercial.
72
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:46,660
Now, I don't want to call this girl a
dog, but when she gets into the car, she
73
00:06:46,660 --> 00:06:47,940
rides with her head out the window.
74
00:06:52,910 --> 00:06:54,590
And he's even cheap about his clothes.
75
00:06:55,590 --> 00:06:57,210
Yes, you do dress the worst.
76
00:06:57,810 --> 00:07:01,070
He's the only guy I know who buys used
jockey shorts.
77
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:05,650
From real jockeys.
78
00:07:10,970 --> 00:07:15,530
He makes me keep all the couches. This
is true. All the couches are covered in
79
00:07:15,530 --> 00:07:18,290
plastic. Always looks like he's
expecting rain.
80
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,720
Housewarming, yes.
81
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:25,860
Do you think I'm small -time?
82
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:27,540
That's where you're wrong, Sarabong.
83
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,300
I served the food at the housewarming,
and right away, I knew which girl he was
84
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:36,980
after. She was the one wearing a sweater
under her strapless gown.
85
00:07:43,860 --> 00:07:45,740
Thank you very much, Mr. Kaplan.
86
00:07:58,510 --> 00:07:59,510
Oh,
87
00:08:04,130 --> 00:08:06,870
yes, the fine new comedian, Mr. Billy
Crystal.
88
00:08:08,350 --> 00:08:15,030
This is not
89
00:08:15,030 --> 00:08:16,030
easy to do.
90
00:08:16,450 --> 00:08:18,690
Well, usually the roasty is somebody
interesting.
91
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,140
No, I mean, Gabe has the charisma of
Earl Buck at an NAACP meeting.
92
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,120
No, it's interesting. I really don't
understand why I'm here. I mean, Gabe is
93
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,200
show business what the Yankees were to
the World Series.
94
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,160
I remember Gabe's family, of course. We
were very close friends. He had a lovely
95
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,420
aunt who was 80 years old and really
hip. She used to snort Maylock.
96
00:08:54,810 --> 00:08:59,490
We, of course, do share one mutual
friend, the heavyweight champion
97
00:08:59,490 --> 00:09:03,570
Ali. And it was on this day last year
that we both sat here and roasted him.
98
00:09:03,570 --> 00:09:06,490
I asked the champ if he was going to
come, and he said no.
99
00:09:06,970 --> 00:09:10,570
And I said, would you like to say
something about Gabe? And he looked at
100
00:09:10,570 --> 00:09:17,490
said, everybody's talking about Gabe
Kaplan. I'm roasting Gabe Kaplan.
101
00:09:17,550 --> 00:09:18,690
I'm going to talk about Gabe.
102
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,500
Gabe Tablin's got the personality of
Sonny Liston. He's ugly. I don't want to
103
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:30,860
talk about Gabe Tablin.
104
00:09:36,940 --> 00:09:37,980
Oh, dear Lord.
105
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,240
Ladies and gentlemen, Shadow!
106
00:09:45,140 --> 00:09:45,700
When
107
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:54,480
Bill
108
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:59,280
Martin asked me, to do this show about
Gabriel Kaplan, I said, who the heck is
109
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,280
Gabriel Kaplan?
110
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:04,920
How can I say, welcome back, Cocker,
when I never knew he went?
111
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,660
I really was his teacher of sex
education in Brooklyn, that's true.
112
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,540
I think he didn't know nothing about
nothing.
113
00:10:19,260 --> 00:10:24,340
When he had the third class in my, the
third lesson in my class, his hair was
114
00:10:24,340 --> 00:10:25,340
straight.
115
00:10:30,180 --> 00:10:32,700
At that time, I used to have accent.
116
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,160
Yes, you remember, I used to say yes
instead of yes.
117
00:10:37,740 --> 00:10:42,340
And all the time, you know, I see him
very often in the studios, and all the
118
00:10:42,340 --> 00:10:46,780
time he's singing, Everybody love some
Kutsi Kutsi. My life.
119
00:11:04,460 --> 00:11:06,960
It was very funny, but I didn't
understand one word.
120
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:16,720
Red button.
121
00:11:29,820 --> 00:11:31,820
There is something you should know.
122
00:11:33,710 --> 00:11:40,090
There is something you should know. This
man, this man who has been playing the
123
00:11:40,090 --> 00:11:46,490
buffoon here this evening, has
dedicated, has donated
124
00:11:46,490 --> 00:11:52,710
his kidneys, his pancreas,
125
00:11:52,730 --> 00:11:59,730
and his diseased liver to the Harvard
Medical
126
00:11:59,730 --> 00:12:00,730
School.
127
00:12:01,030 --> 00:12:04,210
They are building... A bionic lush.
128
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:20,510
I do not know what I am doing here
tonight because, frankly, I am jealous.
129
00:12:21,390 --> 00:12:24,650
I am jealous of Gabe Kaplan.
130
00:12:25,510 --> 00:12:28,870
Thirty years old and they're giving this
man a dinner.
131
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,880
30 years old, the man hasn't even made
one comeback yet.
132
00:12:38,820 --> 00:12:44,800
30 years old, it's unbelievable. The man
lives in Beverly Hills in a mansion
133
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,860
with an Italian marble staircase.
134
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,800
Dean Martin is an Italian. He hasn't got
a marble staircase.
135
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,040
That's right, that's right.
136
00:12:57,930 --> 00:13:00,530
He's got to fall down a plain staircase.
137
00:13:03,170 --> 00:13:05,610
Why are we throwing this man a dinner?
138
00:13:06,110 --> 00:13:08,890
Thirty years old, throwing a man a
dinner?
139
00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:15,470
This is the greatest display of nerves
since Benedict Arnold applied for
140
00:13:15,470 --> 00:13:16,470
veterans' benefits.
141
00:13:22,730 --> 00:13:25,510
I'm one of the biggest people in the
history of the world.
142
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,280
Never got a dinner.
143
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:34,920
Howard Hughes, whose last words were, I
left the will in the...
144
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:42,940
Yay,
145
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,840
Paul Getty, who still hasn't been
buried.
146
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:47,940
They keep striking oil.
147
00:13:56,620 --> 00:14:01,640
who said as he climbed up the side of
the Empire State Building, find time for
148
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:02,640
an elevator strike.
149
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:11,720
Cat with the Titanic who set the room
service. Who
150
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:12,720
sent for the ice?
151
00:14:20,740 --> 00:14:23,760
The communist mayor of Rome.
152
00:14:34,510 --> 00:14:41,410
and Italian Jacques Costeau who said
153
00:14:41,410 --> 00:14:46,230
while 20 ,000 fathoms under the sea
first I'll start with a shrimp cocktail
154
00:14:46,230 --> 00:14:53,070
Attila Nahon who once said
155
00:14:53,070 --> 00:14:59,390
sure I pillage it's a living never got a
dinner George
156
00:14:59,390 --> 00:15:05,000
Washington who once said to his father
if I never tell a lie How can I get to
157
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,000
president?
158
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,420
Sophia Loren's new baby.
159
00:15:14,540 --> 00:15:17,160
Who said to Sophia, is that all for me?
160
00:15:45,020 --> 00:15:50,380
Gabe, a lot of your friends couldn't be
here with you tonight, so they sent some
161
00:15:50,380 --> 00:15:53,280
wires. Here are the wires, right here.
I'm going to read them for you.
162
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,200
Put my glasses on.
163
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,020
Sorry, Mr. Griffon.
164
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:02,920
Italian boy.
165
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,080
Oh, Mike Griffon. Nice kid.
166
00:16:09,340 --> 00:16:13,910
I have been an admirer. of yours ever
since you were a little boy in Brooklyn.
167
00:16:13,910 --> 00:16:18,530
know you don't remember me, but I would
appreciate your sending me an autograph.
168
00:16:18,930 --> 00:16:20,270
Signed, your mother.
169
00:16:24,110 --> 00:16:29,530
How original of you to do a series about
a schoolteacher's trouble with his
170
00:16:29,530 --> 00:16:33,290
students. Signed, Lucas Tanner, Mr.
171
00:16:33,570 --> 00:16:37,070
Novak, Karen Valentine, our Miss Brooks,
and Mr.
172
00:16:37,290 --> 00:16:38,290
Peepers.
173
00:16:45,260 --> 00:16:51,980
Deeply resent your broad caricature of
the American teenager and weird students
174
00:16:51,980 --> 00:16:57,620
with crazy ethnic names signed Fonzie
Fonzarelli.
175
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,560
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
176
00:17:05,819 --> 00:17:06,819
Jimmy Walker.
177
00:17:19,660 --> 00:17:21,420
Thank you, Dean, and thank you, Gabe.
178
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,700
I must say I'm happy to be here tonight
with Gabriel Kaplan, but I must admit
179
00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:31,060
I'd rather be home watching you on TV
than at least I could turn you off.
180
00:17:36,580 --> 00:17:40,560
Now, Dean's incredible. He finally got
my name right, you know? All week long
181
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,700
he's been calling me Nipsey.
182
00:17:43,980 --> 00:17:48,680
But I think Dean and Nipsey will make a
great team called Nipsey and Tipsy.
183
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,860
Obviously, everybody here has seen
Gabe's show, and we all realize that
184
00:17:57,860 --> 00:18:04,340
not selfish on his show at all. He makes
sure that everybody has a strong
185
00:18:04,340 --> 00:18:07,640
character on that show, especially his
wife.
186
00:18:08,860 --> 00:18:10,340
She's got a big part.
187
00:18:10,620 --> 00:18:12,980
Every week, she has the same line.
188
00:18:13,380 --> 00:18:15,760
And then what did your uncle say, Gabe?
189
00:18:23,530 --> 00:18:28,270
When I first heard Gabe was going to
have a show about sweat hogs, I thought
190
00:18:28,270 --> 00:18:29,910
had got jobs for all his old
girlfriends.
191
00:18:32,590 --> 00:18:36,330
I know a lot about Gabe because we
started out together at the
192
00:18:36,330 --> 00:18:37,330
Catcher Writing Store.
193
00:18:37,390 --> 00:18:40,890
And he was always going to the library
and taking out books and stuff like
194
00:18:40,990 --> 00:18:43,650
Whenever I went to the library, I only
took out the librarian.
195
00:18:46,390 --> 00:18:50,310
And if I kept the librarian out over two
weeks, they charged me two cents a day.
196
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,620
But it was worth it, y 'all.
197
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:01,400
Lots of people say that Gabe has his
dull and has no personality at all and
198
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,140
lifeless and gets lost in the crowd.
199
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,420
I disagree with that 200%. And if he was
here tonight, I would tell him.
200
00:19:22,730 --> 00:19:28,590
dear, dear friend, wonderful actor,
producer, director, anything you say,
201
00:19:29,010 --> 00:19:30,390
Orson Welles.
202
00:19:32,010 --> 00:19:32,610
In
203
00:19:32,610 --> 00:19:44,270
the
204
00:19:44,270 --> 00:19:50,530
world of pro -business, I think we must
face it that our subject tonight is a
205
00:19:50,530 --> 00:19:51,530
man
206
00:19:51,620 --> 00:19:54,060
who is a figure of controversy.
207
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:58,180
I have here a poll, the results of a
recent poll.
208
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:04,320
In the world of show business, 25 % of
the comedians feel that Gabe Kaplan is
209
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,780
overrated as an actor, and 25 % of the
actors feel that he is overrated as a
210
00:20:09,780 --> 00:20:13,660
comedian, while the other half vote for
none of the above.
211
00:20:19,790 --> 00:20:21,330
I have something a little more personal.
212
00:20:21,550 --> 00:20:24,070
Gabe Kaplan's old high school annual.
213
00:20:24,950 --> 00:20:28,150
We've all had one of those. Remember
back in the old days?
214
00:20:29,010 --> 00:20:33,510
There's a place in the back for
autographs where friends and teachers in
215
00:20:33,510 --> 00:20:35,330
might write little sentiments.
216
00:20:36,970 --> 00:20:42,590
Starts off with a prediction by his
principal. Dear Gabe, you will go far.
217
00:20:43,470 --> 00:20:44,670
Please start now.
218
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,780
one from your old science teacher, Igor.
219
00:20:53,380 --> 00:20:56,900
It's easy enough to be pleasant when
life is all carefree and chipper, but
220
00:20:56,900 --> 00:21:00,080
man worthwhile is the man who can smile
when his necktie is caught in his
221
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,080
zipper.
222
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:10,380
And finally, remember the river,
remember the brook, remember the last
223
00:21:10,380 --> 00:21:13,180
write in your book, sign Forest Lawn
Mortuary.
224
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,360
P .S. Please keep in touch. We've seen
your show and it's later than you think.
225
00:21:29,930 --> 00:21:34,330
Our next guest is one of the fastest
talkers in the business.
226
00:21:34,530 --> 00:21:38,750
His tongue moves quicker than a
hummingbird's wings.
227
00:21:39,170 --> 00:21:42,570
And his brain is only slightly smaller.
228
00:21:45,290 --> 00:21:47,310
Humble Howard Cosell.
229
00:21:52,490 --> 00:21:54,950
Well, thank you very much, Dean.
230
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,700
Forgive me if I observe that in your
last sentence, sir, you flourished a
231
00:22:00,700 --> 00:22:01,840
dangling partisan.
232
00:22:02,300 --> 00:22:06,020
Yeah, well, when you get older, that's
the first thing that goes.
233
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,340
Uh... Gabe Jackson.
234
00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:14,760
Young Gabriel.
235
00:22:15,060 --> 00:22:17,400
Some kind of comic.
236
00:22:18,100 --> 00:22:20,920
Discretion, Gabe, prevents me from
saying what kind.
237
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,820
Under the circumstances, let's run down
the stats on Kaplan G.
238
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,340
Obviously, a lightweight.
239
00:22:31,980 --> 00:22:38,840
Appeared this season in 22 sitcoms for
ABC, mainly as a designated klutz.
240
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,740
I'm here to prepare you for that fatal
day when you'll have to earn an honest
241
00:22:47,740 --> 00:22:51,020
living. Perhaps you've thought of
broadcasting.
242
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,280
Well, I'll give you the benefit of a
great man's experience.
243
00:22:57,740 --> 00:23:04,600
These are my three personal rules for
success games. First, never be
244
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,360
outspoken. I've never been outspoken by
anyone.
245
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,860
Learn the game.
246
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,480
You shouldn't be up in the broadcast
booth if you think a tight end is Abe
247
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,020
Vigoda's jockey shorts.
248
00:23:26,380 --> 00:23:28,680
Oh, gracefully.
249
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:34,920
I don't try to wear hairstyles of 20
-year -old men, Gabe. I buy my slightly
250
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,900
gray hair at the temples.
251
00:23:40,940 --> 00:23:43,600
Finally, be humble.
252
00:23:44,490 --> 00:23:50,570
Never blow your own horn, even if your
name is Gabriel.
253
00:24:01,550 --> 00:24:07,250
This man is the most valuable player of
the 1976 World Series. I think he'll be
254
00:24:07,250 --> 00:24:08,990
the most valuable player ever.
255
00:24:09,290 --> 00:24:11,250
Mr. Johnny Banks.
256
00:24:24,010 --> 00:24:25,010
Thank you, Dizzy Dean.
257
00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:33,530
Well, Dean really knows how to make a
ballplayer feel right at home.
258
00:24:33,830 --> 00:24:36,070
Ever since the show started, he's been
out in left field.
259
00:24:40,230 --> 00:24:42,510
Gabe grew up in the shadow of Ebbets
Field.
260
00:24:42,750 --> 00:24:47,630
That's where he learned his grammar from
Casey Stengel, his good sportsmanship
261
00:24:47,630 --> 00:24:51,530
from Leo DeRocher, and his quick wit
from Yogi Berra.
262
00:24:58,519 --> 00:25:02,100
Those Yankees fans are really dangerous.
My two home runs, I had to run around
263
00:25:02,100 --> 00:25:03,380
the base with a police dog.
264
00:25:05,540 --> 00:25:08,800
Our first baseman, Perez, went over to
catch a foul ball in the stands and was
265
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:09,800
kidnapped.
266
00:25:13,940 --> 00:25:14,940
Gabe,
267
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,920
I know that the satisfaction you may
have been rewarded, and I think you
268
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,600
have in playing with Amarillo and doing
the things you did, have really reached
269
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,120
the minor leagues in comedy.
270
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,700
But there still is a big favorite of
Pete Rose.
271
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:35,760
Really? Hell, really.
272
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,500
Pete's favorite shows are Welcome Back,
Cotter, Howdy Doody, and Porky Pig.
273
00:26:03,020 --> 00:26:07,620
And to honor our man of the hour
tonight, we invited a bright young comic
274
00:26:07,620 --> 00:26:12,040
has appeared with Gabe Kaplan in comedy
workshops around the country.
275
00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:17,560
You may have seen him on some talk
shows. I guarantee you'll enjoy his
276
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,140
brand of humor. Ladies and gentlemen, Ed
Bluescombe.
277
00:26:21,860 --> 00:26:23,280
Ed Bluescombe.
278
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,340
As you know, Gabe is one of the best
light guys in show business.
279
00:26:32,220 --> 00:26:35,060
That's why he has to have unknowns like
me on his roast.
280
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:44,480
Rumors that Dave socializes once a
month. He helps Howard Cosell wax his
281
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,920
Many personalities are here from the
sports world. Joe Garagiola is here.
282
00:26:54,220 --> 00:26:56,780
Joe is one of the brightest men in the
sports world.
283
00:26:57,020 --> 00:27:00,980
I once asked Joe for his autograph, and
he started signing the top of his head.
284
00:27:06,030 --> 00:27:10,070
has probably done more than anyone to
dispel the myth that baseball players
285
00:27:10,070 --> 00:27:11,070
stupid.
286
00:27:11,170 --> 00:27:14,770
That's why he's here tonight as an
interpreter for Johnny Bench.
287
00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:23,350
People only know Johnny Bench as a world
series hero, a baseball star.
288
00:27:23,670 --> 00:27:26,270
You have no idea what a cultured man
this is.
289
00:27:26,750 --> 00:27:29,010
I saw Johnny Bench one night at the
opera.
290
00:27:29,470 --> 00:27:32,410
I recognized him because he was wearing
his catcher's mask.
291
00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:38,920
It's a great honor to finally be working
with Milton Berle.
292
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,360
For many years, Milton has said he was
dying to work with me.
293
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,980
Until now, I haven't felt he was ready.
294
00:27:53,380 --> 00:27:54,840
Jimmy Walker's here.
295
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:59,080
I've known Jimmy Walker since he was a
poem writer for Nipsey Russell.
296
00:28:04,620 --> 00:28:07,780
They keep Walker's show on the air by
killing off characters.
297
00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:14,940
They have already made the first episode
for next year. First show next year,
298
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,540
Florida dies in an earthquake.
299
00:28:17,660 --> 00:28:21,340
And the Evans family accuses the earth
of racial discrimination.
300
00:28:28,980 --> 00:28:33,260
You'll notice how the entire cast of
Welcome Back, Cotter was dying to be
301
00:28:33,260 --> 00:28:34,260
tonight.
302
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,140
Not a little fun at Gabe's expense, but
I think he knows how I really feel about
303
00:28:44,140 --> 00:28:48,860
him. That's why when Gabe asked me to be
here tonight, he told me they were
304
00:28:48,860 --> 00:28:50,260
roasting Frank Sinatra.
305
00:29:03,690 --> 00:29:10,550
Since Gabe Kaplan plays the
schoolteacher on Welcome Back, Carter,
306
00:29:10,550 --> 00:29:14,630
we would surprise him by flying out his
old grammar schoolteacher all the way
307
00:29:14,630 --> 00:29:15,549
from Brooklyn.
308
00:29:15,550 --> 00:29:22,390
Yeah, I'll go and do that. Here from PS
-144 is Miss Gladys.
309
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:35,280
Just amazing.
310
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,340
Tonight, Gabe is being insulted by his
betters, which is practically everybody.
311
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:45,580
I mean, it's all right to be dull, but
to make a profession out of it is
312
00:29:45,580 --> 00:29:46,720
absolutely absurd.
313
00:29:47,460 --> 00:29:50,200
Take my word for it. He never learned
the basics.
314
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,640
He didn't even know the letters of the
alphabet.
315
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,000
I know the letters of the alphabet.
316
00:29:55,540 --> 00:29:57,740
Oh, do you really? Well, let me hear
them.
317
00:30:00,540 --> 00:30:01,720
Somebody start me.
318
00:30:05,210 --> 00:30:06,210
B.
319
00:30:06,570 --> 00:30:07,570
C.
320
00:30:08,170 --> 00:30:09,170
Go on.
321
00:30:10,350 --> 00:30:11,350
There's more?
322
00:30:13,650 --> 00:30:16,250
I'll give you something easier, Mr.
Martin.
323
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:17,690
Spell cat.
324
00:30:18,690 --> 00:30:19,790
Male or female?
325
00:30:20,190 --> 00:30:21,190
Oh.
326
00:30:23,030 --> 00:30:24,570
Well, it doesn't make any difference.
327
00:30:25,110 --> 00:30:26,590
It does to the cat.
328
00:30:31,650 --> 00:30:33,770
Good night. You were always good, your
mother.
329
00:30:48,460 --> 00:30:53,860
This is Joe Garagiola, well -known NBC
sportscaster and former catcher for the
330
00:30:53,860 --> 00:30:55,100
St. Louis Cardinals.
331
00:30:55,420 --> 00:31:02,340
Joe was a little late tonight because he
was out getting a flu shot, which is
332
00:31:02,340 --> 00:31:07,220
ridiculous because in his whole baseball
career, he never caught anything.
333
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,160
True,
334
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:25,040
it really is. And I'm glad to have a
second career in broadcasting because I
335
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,140
sure didn't have a first career in
baseball.
336
00:31:29,180 --> 00:31:32,240
I want to tell you something, and you
people won't believe this. When I was
337
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,060
playing, the club owners were anti
-Italian. That's the truth.
338
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,740
1953, I hit a ground ball to the
shortstop. While I was running the first
339
00:31:40,820 --> 00:31:41,940
they traded me to the Cubs.
340
00:31:45,450 --> 00:31:49,750
much better in the big leagues, but I
had a couple of handicaps. My right
341
00:31:49,870 --> 00:31:50,930
my left hand.
342
00:31:54,390 --> 00:32:01,170
Anyway, I am happy to be here to honor
Gabe Kaplan because he started at the
343
00:32:01,170 --> 00:32:03,430
bottom and he's worked his way to the
top.
344
00:32:03,850 --> 00:32:07,070
Big deal. A gopher does the same thing,
winds up in a hole.
345
00:32:11,010 --> 00:32:12,010
He's attractive.
346
00:32:12,430 --> 00:32:13,430
He's witty.
347
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,560
He's got a lot of girls on his strength,
too.
348
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:18,300
I've seen some of them. They should be
on a leash.
349
00:32:20,740 --> 00:32:27,160
You know, I had go out with Gabriel, and
his mustache remained me of my husband,
350
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:28,300
Javier Cugat's mustache.
351
00:32:28,460 --> 00:32:30,980
They are both in the same place. You got
it?
352
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:38,620
I love when she goes, coochie, coochie,
coochie. What does that mean when she
353
00:32:38,620 --> 00:32:39,760
goes, coochie, coochie, coochie?
354
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,820
Oh, that's Spanish for your place or
mine.
355
00:32:50,860 --> 00:32:54,740
a big league ball player but you really
scored big on television and I
356
00:32:54,740 --> 00:32:56,980
congratulate you. Thank you. Good night.
357
00:33:04,340 --> 00:33:09,400
This evening wouldn't be complete
without somebody to represent all the
358
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,400
teachers of America.
359
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:17,440
Here on behalf of the PTA and the
National Educational Association is the
360
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:22,520
founder and president of our of
stateside tech.
361
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:28,060
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
Professor Bradford Broccoli.
362
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,060
First of all, it's a great privilege
363
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,140
for you to have me here tonight.
364
00:33:53,820 --> 00:33:57,720
Honoring my fellow educator, Mr. Gabe,
uh, Kaplan.
365
00:33:59,140 --> 00:34:00,140
So much for that.
366
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,520
I'm here to recruit Gabe's students and
the rest of you to eat dummies.
367
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,420
Dean? Did you go to school on a
scholarship?
368
00:34:12,980 --> 00:34:14,320
No, I went to school on a bus.
369
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:19,360
What does he know about education?
370
00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:23,060
To Dean, a junior high is a short drink
before dinner.
371
00:34:26,300 --> 00:34:28,820
The country has too many plumbers.
372
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,360
We don't need plumbers.
373
00:34:33,699 --> 00:34:35,300
We need psychiatrists.
374
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,219
Why? I'll tell you why.
375
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:42,760
Because more heads are clobbed up than
drained. That's why.
376
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:49,520
neat about it in my book.
377
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,060
How to swim inside a waterbed.
378
00:34:55,679 --> 00:35:01,260
You may ask, and rightfully so, what
about science?
379
00:35:02,180 --> 00:35:04,080
We have a top science department.
380
00:35:04,580 --> 00:35:07,700
They were the first to split the atom.
381
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,800
Unfortunately, they didn't know what it
was.
382
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,020
So they glued it back together again.
383
00:35:17,390 --> 00:35:19,130
Science lab is completely up to date.
384
00:35:20,130 --> 00:35:23,890
Last year, we dissected so many frogs,
we ran out of them.
385
00:35:25,750 --> 00:35:28,950
So, we had to dissect Jack Cousteau.
386
00:35:33,010 --> 00:35:34,410
Let's be serious for a while.
387
00:35:41,530 --> 00:35:46,230
Hey, Dean. You want to participate in
our commencement?
388
00:35:46,670 --> 00:35:49,750
Exercises? You kidding? I can't even do
push -ups.
389
00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:53,950
Hey, Carol.
390
00:35:56,370 --> 00:36:01,890
Why don't you take a class in animal...
I can't even talk straight.
391
00:36:02,530 --> 00:36:07,030
Husbandry. Why don't you take a class in
animal husbandry? And I guarantee
392
00:36:07,030 --> 00:36:09,330
you'll find your chihuahua a husband.
393
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,140
The football team had a great record
last season, 4 -20.
394
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,400
Well, what do you expect from a team
called the Blackbirds?
395
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,980
Just sorry, Kellogg. I told you that.
Very funny man.
396
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,720
Ladies and gentlemen, Abe Doda.
397
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:10,940
I'm delighted to be here tonight to
share in this tribute to Gabe Kaplan.
398
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,660
Millions of kids see him every week. His
TV classroom has an amazing influence
399
00:37:16,660 --> 00:37:17,660
on kids today.
400
00:37:18,260 --> 00:37:20,200
Education is a serious business.
401
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,620
What can you do without an education?
402
00:37:22,860 --> 00:37:25,160
What happens to the uneducated?
403
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,040
I'll tell you what happens to them. Just
look around.
404
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,440
I have a granddaughter, little Kathy.
She can't wait to go to school.
405
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:43,500
She watches your show, Abe, and I can't
tell you how I feel when I hear her
406
00:37:43,500 --> 00:37:48,060
singing, school days, school days, up
your nose with a rubber hose, Dave.
407
00:37:51,630 --> 00:37:54,530
You also have a nephew, and he thinks
you are great.
408
00:37:55,370 --> 00:38:00,030
You're a great teacher. He can't spell,
he can't read, he can't write. Of
409
00:38:00,030 --> 00:38:01,030
course, there's still hope.
410
00:38:01,650 --> 00:38:03,630
He has two more years of college.
411
00:38:08,250 --> 00:38:12,990
Jake Kaplan is breeding a new generation
of kids who are not prepared for a
412
00:38:12,990 --> 00:38:15,110
career, who are not prepared for
anything.
413
00:38:15,970 --> 00:38:19,030
Earl Butts has a better future, selling
watermelon.
414
00:38:50,610 --> 00:38:54,530
You know what? You know what your class
needs? Needs a teacher who's tough.
415
00:38:54,830 --> 00:38:58,430
You know, take somebody like General
Patton or George C. Scott who played
416
00:38:58,430 --> 00:38:59,430
General Patton.
417
00:38:59,710 --> 00:39:01,490
That is, sweat hogs.
418
00:39:06,090 --> 00:39:08,630
Well, I'll begin tomorrow at 0800 hours.
419
00:39:09,210 --> 00:39:10,870
We will demonstrate our patriotism.
420
00:39:11,670 --> 00:39:16,490
Now, you have a choice. Either sound off
the Pledge of Allegiance, or I'll bang
421
00:39:16,490 --> 00:39:18,790
your heads and make you see something
patriotic like 50 stars.
422
00:39:23,550 --> 00:39:26,390
Now, here's another tough guy that could
really take over your class. Can you
423
00:39:26,390 --> 00:39:27,990
see him standing there? John Wayne?
424
00:39:30,070 --> 00:39:31,690
All right, pilgrims.
425
00:39:32,950 --> 00:39:35,230
Let's get those desks in a circle.
426
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,820
Anybody can do a better teacher than
you. How about welcome back Archie
427
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,200
Oh, jeez.
428
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,340
Oh, dear, the bell's rung, dear.
429
00:39:54,820 --> 00:39:57,960
All right, stifle yourselves, dear.
430
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:06,520
Okay, who's the wise guy to chew that,
dear, snowball, dear?
431
00:40:08,020 --> 00:40:11,830
Hey, you know, I don't mind horsing
around. Well, but the snowboard had a
432
00:40:11,830 --> 00:40:12,910
Volkswagen in it.
433
00:40:27,430 --> 00:40:30,430
Here he is, the one and only.
434
00:40:31,470 --> 00:40:33,190
Thank goodness, Mr.
435
00:40:33,750 --> 00:40:35,030
Milton Pearl.
436
00:40:46,060 --> 00:40:48,860
Get a load. Will you get a load of who's
on this dais?
437
00:40:49,140 --> 00:40:52,880
Did you ever see so many stars
auditioning for obscurity?
438
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,060
We're all here for one reason tonight.
439
00:40:58,240 --> 00:40:59,240
Curiosity.
440
00:41:01,180 --> 00:41:05,460
We would like to know how this guy, I've
got to be the guest of honor.
441
00:41:06,020 --> 00:41:10,100
This man is to comedy what Ernest
Borgnine is to tap dancing.
442
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:20,640
It's always good to see Red Button, who
has been a smash hit on every show but
443
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:21,640
his own.
444
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,480
I love you, Red. You've got a great
delivery. Belongs on a truck.
445
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,660
I've always loved Red Button, especially
on a blue blazer.
446
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:41,340
I was talking to Liz Torrey through her
interpreters, and...
447
00:41:42,670 --> 00:41:45,230
who comes from the capital of Puerto
Rico, Manhattan.
448
00:41:49,650 --> 00:41:53,710
And there's Johnny Bench, who looks
wonderful, looks like an obscene Barbie
449
00:41:53,710 --> 00:41:54,710
doll.
450
00:41:57,090 --> 00:42:01,250
He was nervous, Bench. When he walked
out on this day as tonight, he fainted.
451
00:42:01,450 --> 00:42:05,090
You see, he's a catcher, and he's never
seen anybody's face before.
452
00:42:10,250 --> 00:42:11,370
You're a brilliant teacher.
453
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:16,220
One of the kids asked him, Gabe, what do
you think of the abortion bill? And he
454
00:42:16,220 --> 00:42:17,220
said, pay it.
455
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:24,560
When I watch your show, Gabe, I can tell
what your whole class is going to be
456
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:25,560
when they graduate.
457
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:27,200
Senile.
458
00:42:28,980 --> 00:42:29,980
Hey there, pal.
459
00:42:30,860 --> 00:42:33,200
Let me give you some advice.
460
00:42:33,720 --> 00:42:38,680
I have been performing in show business
for a long time, man and boy.
461
00:42:41,260 --> 00:42:42,260
And woman, right.
462
00:42:45,700 --> 00:42:49,640
But they always, always called me, I was
known as Mr. Tuesday Night.
463
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,840
And that's what my wife still calls me.
464
00:42:54,180 --> 00:42:56,260
Do you know why I was called Mr. Tuesday
Night?
465
00:42:56,820 --> 00:43:00,840
Yeah, because people would say, what's
the Monday night program?
466
00:43:01,420 --> 00:43:03,100
What's the Wednesday night program?
467
00:43:03,820 --> 00:43:04,820
But Mr.
468
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,200
Tuesday Night, right.
469
00:43:12,270 --> 00:43:15,710
really want to make it in show business,
you've got to do certain things.
470
00:43:16,010 --> 00:43:18,770
Never laugh at another comic's jokes.
471
00:43:19,750 --> 00:43:26,470
Remember them, but never laugh and
develop a funny walk. And it's very
472
00:43:26,470 --> 00:43:30,010
easy. Put on drip -dry shorts while
they're still dripping.
473
00:43:48,290 --> 00:43:53,490
Ladies and gentlemen, here's our man of
the hour, a bright young comedian who
474
00:43:53,490 --> 00:43:57,810
has given television viewers a lot of
pleasure, Mr. Gabe Kaplan.
475
00:44:13,210 --> 00:44:17,250
This is a magnificent day that you've
assembled here tonight, Dean.
476
00:44:17,870 --> 00:44:20,070
Could be a game show called Celebrity
Has -Bens.
477
00:44:25,790 --> 00:44:29,110
Not everybody on this day is a has
-been. There's a lot of Never Wars, too.
478
00:44:33,150 --> 00:44:36,490
Dean, it's nice of you. And all the
jokes that were made about Dean's
479
00:44:36,490 --> 00:44:40,190
tonight. And all those jokes aren't true
because Dean has never missed a day of
480
00:44:40,190 --> 00:44:41,590
work. He's missed weeks.
481
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:49,220
I saw Dean talking to Orson Welles
backstage tonight, and Dean is going to
482
00:44:49,220 --> 00:44:51,620
in Orson Welles' new picture, Citizen
Wino.
483
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,720
I saw Dean the last time he was here at
the Grand. He has a specialty number he
484
00:44:59,720 --> 00:45:03,600
does in his act, puts a microphone to
his stomach, and his liver croons. I got
485
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:04,600
right to sing the blues.
486
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,420
It is not that Dean drinks.
487
00:45:11,780 --> 00:45:13,260
It's what he does when he drinks.
488
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,080
I mean, today asking Alice Ghostly to
come to your room after the roast.
489
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,300
Alice, that was a very realistic
portrayal of my old high school teacher.
490
00:45:24,620 --> 00:45:25,860
She didn't shave her legs either.
491
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:31,240
Ed Bluestone.
492
00:45:32,020 --> 00:45:37,580
Ed Bluestone does a lot of jokes about
death, V, perversion.
493
00:45:38,240 --> 00:45:40,560
I keep telling him, Ed, you've got to
look beyond your own family.
494
00:45:45,450 --> 00:45:46,450
And Billy Crystal.
495
00:45:47,050 --> 00:45:48,850
Billy is more than a friend to me.
496
00:45:49,070 --> 00:45:50,070
He's a total stranger.
497
00:45:52,850 --> 00:45:55,710
I don't think you did too well tonight,
Billy, because while you were on, Milton
498
00:45:55,710 --> 00:45:56,710
Berle wasn't writing.
499
00:45:59,270 --> 00:46:03,430
And Milton, Milton, Milton. Milton, it's
okay to steal jokes, but not from the
500
00:46:03,430 --> 00:46:04,430
captain and Sunil.
501
00:46:07,550 --> 00:46:10,830
Actually, in Milton's heyday, he was the
biggest TV star.
502
00:46:11,530 --> 00:46:12,950
So what if he had to wear a dress?
503
00:46:14,220 --> 00:46:17,920
He was known as the king of television
and the queen of Hollywood Boulevard.
504
00:46:25,340 --> 00:46:29,040
This man was making $15 ,000 a week and
all the sailors he could pick up.
505
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,520
I'd like to thank Charlie Callis for
coming here. Charlie's a man who turned
506
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:44,600
nervous stick into a career.
507
00:46:48,780 --> 00:46:52,240
Actually, Charlie is here tonight
because we wanted to make Jimmy Walker
508
00:46:52,240 --> 00:46:53,240
attractive.
509
00:46:55,700 --> 00:47:00,260
And Nipsey Russell is a great guy.
Nipsey is a guy who'll never have to
510
00:47:00,260 --> 00:47:02,580
about being caught in the dark. He can
use his teeth as a flashlight.
511
00:47:07,700 --> 00:47:08,700
Abe Pagoda.
512
00:47:08,970 --> 00:47:13,450
I think we all should give a special
thank you to Ava Goddard for sitting
513
00:47:13,450 --> 00:47:15,850
for an hour and not going to the
bathroom once.
514
00:47:22,490 --> 00:47:23,670
Orson Welles.
515
00:47:24,450 --> 00:47:29,690
Orson Welles. Who would have thought
that the genius who made Citizen Kane
516
00:47:29,690 --> 00:47:34,310
30 years later be sitting on The Tonight
Show asking Ed McMahon to pick a card?
517
00:47:37,150 --> 00:47:38,150
Johnny Bench.
518
00:47:38,700 --> 00:47:42,920
My friend hit two home runs in the World
Series against the Yankees.
519
00:47:46,620 --> 00:47:49,240
Johnny, I have a message for you from
the people in New York.
520
00:47:59,100 --> 00:48:02,320
I'd like to thank Charo for coming here
tonight. Charo was originally an
521
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,380
entertainer in the native of Spain. They
used her as a blender.
522
00:48:09,310 --> 00:48:12,790
George Kirby is a man who sings all
right.
523
00:48:13,730 --> 00:48:16,230
His impressions really aren't that
great.
524
00:48:17,390 --> 00:48:19,730
He dances pretty bad.
525
00:48:20,390 --> 00:48:22,730
The best thing to say about George is
he's consistent.
526
00:48:25,790 --> 00:48:29,750
Howard Cosell was here tonight. Howard
Cosell has just been named the poster
527
00:48:29,750 --> 00:48:30,750
for swine flu.
528
00:48:34,110 --> 00:48:36,510
I'd like to thank Jimmy Walker for being
here.
529
00:48:37,130 --> 00:48:39,550
Jimmy is known in show business as the
black Q -tip.
530
00:48:42,730 --> 00:48:45,710
I'll tell you what the other black
entertainers in show business think
531
00:48:45,710 --> 00:48:49,090
Jimmy. Sidney Poitier once offered him
$100 ,000 to say he was an Indian.
532
00:48:54,610 --> 00:48:55,610
Red Buttons.
533
00:48:55,870 --> 00:48:58,510
Red Buttons. Red Buttons who never got a
dinner!
534
00:49:00,290 --> 00:49:01,290
Never got a dinner.
535
00:49:01,890 --> 00:49:04,770
Actually, Red Buttons was the only act
that was turned down by the gong show.
536
00:49:10,350 --> 00:49:16,170
As I look over the stairs, I see three
generations of comedians and comedy
537
00:49:16,170 --> 00:49:21,330
actors and some of the veterans who were
around before I was born and some of
538
00:49:21,330 --> 00:49:23,830
the new guys who are going to be making
people laugh for a long time, some guys
539
00:49:23,830 --> 00:49:24,769
younger than me.
540
00:49:24,770 --> 00:49:28,170
And I'm really excited that they would
come here to do this tonight.
541
00:49:28,570 --> 00:49:32,710
I'd like to thank the ladies, Charu,
Alice Coastley, Liz Torres for coming,
542
00:49:32,710 --> 00:49:37,250
friends from sports, Johnny Bench, Joe
Gragiola, Howard Cosell, Mr. Austin
543
00:49:37,250 --> 00:49:39,410
Wells, one of the great talents of our
time. Thank you.
544
00:49:40,090 --> 00:49:46,070
And it's just funny that a kid from
Brooklyn could just
545
00:49:46,070 --> 00:49:51,390
have an idea about the people he grew up
with and have it turn into things like
546
00:49:51,390 --> 00:49:55,410
this. So I'm really honored to be here
tonight. And unfortunately, the guys
547
00:49:55,410 --> 00:49:56,810
couldn't be here. They're taping another
show.
548
00:49:57,910 --> 00:49:59,970
Actually, they're out in the parking lot
stealing hubcaps.
549
00:50:02,350 --> 00:50:05,730
But I'd like to thank you all out there.
Thank you, Dean.
550
00:50:06,750 --> 00:50:07,750
Thank you.
551
00:50:11,630 --> 00:50:13,050
Oh, God, ladies and gentlemen.
