[littlebit19801]

When Iwas little I thought this was like a REAL talk show lol

[ftsjr]

Is that a new toupee?

[inforapint]

This shit is halarious

[depaolajr]

I was 14 when this show came on..so chezzy it's classic!

[trippjt2]

I broke ribs with these guys then and I still do now. Kirchenbauer blew the tracks out from under Murray and the auto train lounge car act on SNL.

I m a dinosaur- just got utube , I lived for this in the seventies, about the only tv i watched then Thank you!!!!!

[fosbury68]

Does Fred W break character momentarily at 3:28?

It's hard to tell.

[Bopalena]

WIthout a doubt. Bill is easily one of the best comics around and his regular act is just as funny as the Tony Rolletti character. He's made me break a couple of ribs laughing and he's a LOT funnier than some so called stars out there.

[Bopalena]

Kaufman was brilliant, but nobody but NOBODY did a funnier impression of a bad nightclub crooner than Bill Kirchenbauer! He's still one of the best comics around.

[martywhitevan]

who was first, toni rolletti or tony clifton (kaufman)?

[andysott]

tony rollette

[MoondogMayne]

@martywhitevan Good question. The first time I saw Rolletti was 1977. The first time I remember seeing Tony Clifton was maybe 1978 or 79.

[karatezombie]

When is someone going to wisen up and get this show out onto DVD!?!

[noahf67]

What the hell is keeping these guys from doing a mainscale reunion special..?!?!?
