Peter Falk as "Columbo" at Dean Martin Roast: Frank Sinatra - HQ

[sandyk067]

So funny, I just love Falk and so many other fine actors from that era.

[norgie0685]

Great video. Laughed the whole time. I heard this was all improvised at the last minute. My mom and I used to watch columbo when I was a kid. The only person alive today on that stage is don rickles the king of mean. He's the voice of mr potato head in toy story.

[crimsonkng1]

Peter Falk: fantastic. Ronald Reagan: idiot.

[poetcomic1]

Maybe Steve Martin would be stupid enough to try to do Inspector Clouseau, but ain't NOBODY ever going to even attempt Columbo. Columbo IS Peter Falk forever.

[Icequeen1962]

this man has given me hours of entertainment, just love the character Columbo. A fine actor with perfect timing and a great prescence on the screen, a vey charismatic man..

[crazydudekorf07]

Most well spent 6 minutes and 44 seconds watching any video on youtube.

[jpeavler1975]

I've just started watching Columbo myself. Great series. I've only seen Peter Falk on The Great Muppet Caper and The Princess Bride.

[EastJazzman]

I mostly knew Peter Falk from Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World and Shark Tale, and I like to say i'm sorry for missing out on Columbo, I've started watching it now and its one of the best series i have ever seen.

[sjtom57]

Great clip, but very sad to watch knowing most of them are gone now.

[757WN]

@sjtom57

I think they're all gone now. Maybe with exception of Rickles, no??

[buffalobraves9]

@757WN Jack Klugman is still with us.



[757WN]

@buffalobraves9

Good!!!

[CK1223]

rip peter agreat actor serious and comedy

[Ronknows84]

I love Coloumbo, he's the greatest TV detective EVER!!!!

[rem2267]

Amazing! Teriffically funny. I thought Don Rickles was going to have a coronary from laughing. The lasagna and glow-in-the-dark comb were my favorite bits. Peter falk is a legend, and deservedly so. (Oh, and Sinatra too!)!!

[dunfalach]

Besides Falk, it's fascinating to see how many comedy legends are cracking up at his routine. Don Rickles is falling over by the end of it, Dean Martin is collapsing on the table with laughter. His execution is flawless.

[LVSWTZ]

Old School Talent. Masters of there Craft. The World is alot less funny with these Legends Gone.

[dman15333]

What a great man!

[lytrigian]

Oh God, I'm crying I'm laughing so hard here. The man was a genius!

[MOGGS1942]

What a performance that was by Peter Falk,and good on Ole' Blue Eyes for playing the stooge. Fantastic,rib tickling video.

[splitsheath]

r.i.p mate, such a sad way u went but ur countless episodes of columbo will never let me forget u



[philip2260]

3 people were going to commit murder, then watched columbo. and realized he had solved it already.

[DrTrevelyan]

So his wife's name is Rose!!! Frank and Rose Columbo.

[62636263c]

They just don't do it like this anymore. Very funny, well thought out, and perfectly executed.

[morpheusatloppers]

@Guledify Mid-'70s.

[54jbs]

Love it some good times by all

[Syniqal]

Peter Falk. The original troll. ;)

[PassionPromote]

wher is it wher columbo says "all im saying was ther was 3 shooters at the crime scene" or somthing like that. I saw it being imitated once

[daveybeno]

RIP Columbo xxx

[BradinPhilippines]

I grew up with Columbo. One day in 1975, my 6yo son told me that he had no school the next day. When I asked him why, he said, "its Columbo day." That was before it became Presidents Day. I watch Mr. Falk's DVDs with reverence and gratitude since his untimely death.

[subman123x]

its so sad ; everyones deceased

[absolute52347]

Hilarious!!!!

[ertzuiop123]

Like this a lot, thank you. Btw, OMG, is that Orson Welles in the end of the video, last frame?

Fantastic thanks for putting on You Tube - Brilliant really enjoyed this .

[vanderbiltst]

These were real men that payed their dues and enjoyed life. Smoking, drinking, chasing women and just having a good time.

[mikestheman3]

What a classic!

[britturk123]

Thumbs up to the supremely talented mr peter falk.

[Gazzara5]

If that napkin was still aound and Sinatra actually wrote on it, it would be woth a fortune today.

[koyunbaba73]

Oh my God, I haven't laughed that hard in years!

[TubeWeasel1]

Wonderful!

[sergiofragalle1]

R.I.P. INCREDIBLE COLUMBO!!!!! (BRAZIL)

[bronxe187th]

jack klugman is still here.

[117evie]

This was just wonderful Peter Falk was a gem and the rest of the guys are a

hoot we will miss peter falk, dino sinatra and the rest great memories

[KaptKan1]

Peter Falk was one of the most under-rated actors ever. He did character parts on many television shows before he landed "Columbo", and was outstanding. I was a fan of his long before he was famous; I learnt his name from watching the credits on shows in which he appeared.

I was sad to learn that he had Alzheimer's and had passed on.

[toke1962]

A hero of my childhood. R.I.P. Mr. Falk

[tallpaul521]

R.I.P. Mr. Falk. I think that Don Rickels is the only surviving member of this dais.

[mysticgatherings]

All the greats are gone. These guys all were the greatest entertainers that ever live. No ONE today even comes close. RIP Peter Falk.

[56postoffice]

Considering the talent that was around the table, Peter more than held his own, and shown everyone what a great actor he was. A massive loss. Peter Falk- the Genius RIP :*(

[NYJALB]

What a line up of talent at that table!!

[NYJALB]

So now we know.....Mrs Columbo was called Rose!!

Any way, so very sad to lose Peter. I'm a huge fan of his for both Columbo and his comedy which is so clearly shown in this clip

God bless him

[WallKenshiro]

only columbo could call the shots with frank like that! r.i.p peter your already being missed

[virginmary58]

Brilliant Peter....the most underrated and the best actor ever.

[annalovesfilm]

R.I.P. Mr. Falk, amazing talented actor. I love Columbo!! and this video was Wonderful.

[Goedhartbros]

R.I.P. Peter Falk. He was a fantastic actor and Columbo was a marvelous show.

[MickyG4444]

What no jokes about Lisa Lampanelli and black guys?

[sportimes]

Thank you so much for posting this magic piece.

It made me cryed.

At that gatahering I guess Peter was one of the yougest then most of them have say good bye already. I am sure they are putting the red carpet for you there...

One more thing...Peter Thank you so much for giving us so much fun. RIP

[67FEfastback]

Peter Falk, a great actor and comedian. Thanks for entertaining us for so many years! Time passes much too quickly

[floydian218]

i cant beleive hes gone. he will be missed very much

[duskj79]

Thank you Peter Falk for entertaining us for more than 30 years. Such a talent and will be missed.

[morpheusatloppers]

@duskj79 Yes - I echo THAT.

[MyLariano]

@duskj79

Bye, Peter, you will be sadly missed. I feel lots of words to say, but I cannot now. Upthere you will meet my dad who loved you so much as I did and I do still now.

I have been a great fan of you ever since. Believe it or not, I had the sensation he would died just a few hours before that.

Marco from Italy.

[urathore1981]

@duskj79 Couldn't agree more :)

[Redlinesixtynine]

Classic. He was the best.

 RIP Lieutenant.

...Oh,and just one more thing...

[keemanan]

[clutchkman]

Yes, Falk rules! A brilliant actor and human being. His work will live on forever.

[laurel614]

Another original gone :(.Who are the two who gave the down votes,always some sad sacks around.Rest in peace Peter Falk.:)

[dowen1918]

Yeah, he was an absolutely genius actor! I knew him as Columbo since I was a little kid and as a kid, i didn't like watching crime series, but I loved Columbo. Rest in peace Peter!

[TypicalJAFO]

RIP, Mr. Falk. Thank you for all the laughs over the years!

[trghrtehgrth]

A stage full of legends. Frank Sinatra, Orson Welles, Dean Martin, Peter Falk.

May all of you rest in peace.

[mishaplumb]

G-d rest his soul.

[dougzilla]

Goodbye gentle man.

[kkay1963]

Awe... this is such classic stuff! I hate that all these guys are gone! Thanks for the memories guys!

[2008topshelf]

wow. this was very good.

[kitsch2spacea]

A very sad day. But I found the perfect video of Peter Falk to be reminded of just how gifted an actor he really was. You don't get to be surrounded by Hollywood superstars like this, unless YOU ARE a Hollywood superstar! As Peter clearly is. Here he is some kind of wonderful, still can't help feeling bitter-sweet on a day like today. Thank you for posting this wonderful clip.

[mysterytrain3]

Feels good to laugh once in a while, doesn't it? Thanks, Peter. See you on the other side.

[benitovigorito78]

LET US PRAY GOD TO KEEP HIM  IN THE GLORY OF THE PARADISE

WE ALWAYS ENJOY HIS SHOWS AND WE HAD GOOD TIME. PEACE.

BENITO OF NEW YORK

[louthegiantcookie]

He's in a better place now. Away from all the sickness and misery of the world.

[brightsafflicted]

What a great man and great character! I was a devoted fan of Lt. Columbo, and it's good to be reminded why. An era of great television and great actors is passing into history...and our kids have no idea what they missed. Rest in peace, Peter Falk, and thanks for being a part of my life.

[bkroadking1]

Hilarious! We'll miss you Mr. Falk, R.I.P

[ronniegeorge10]

peter falk = RIP. a brillaint clip.

[Danazawa]

They roasted Frank Sinatra? that's walking on eggshells isnt it. One wrong word and its your ass - Gilly and the boys would be round for a few words. RIP Peter.

[dacrookedi]

RIP

[alaphize]

R.I.P. Always under-rated. I still love Columbo re-runs to this day. And one of my fave comedy films is Murder By Death...in which he even parodies himself.

Hey; people have to go, but it's always a bit miserable when we lose someone like this :(

[Steviepics]

So sad to see that the master, Peter Falk, has left us, but I am delighted to return to this clip and say, not only was this man an actor of the finest subltlety and depth (see him directed by John Cassavetes), but also a highly sophisticated clown, totally the equalf of Charles Chaplin.

[IaminaSpaceship]

1 person is Frank Sinatra

[Bondek1996]

R.I.P, Mr Falk.

[s1977spw2]

RIP

[cdh88]

RIP Lt

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

RIP Peter Falk .... true talent!

[TheBobo73]

How much talent is sat at that table?.... Legends All

[ghostrepublic]

@TheBobo73 Exactly so. Today, I'll be sitting in the waiting room of a doctors office and thumb through some celebrity magazine and I dont recognize 99% of the names of the people mentioned inside, much less know what they're supposed to be famous for. The people in this and other clips are LEGENDS who worked hard, spending decades giving us great songs, great tv shows, great movies, etc. Where are the greats of today?

[henhorst]

Thank you sir.

[cowboybill63]

RIP Peter Falk - Thanks for the SHOW!

[citybug]

Rest in Peace Peter Falk!

[ThaFezz]

Peter Falk RULES.

[braksator]

I don't think Columbo would pay this much attention to one person unless he suspected they were a murderer.

[chrisklecker]

Wow!! What an ensemble. Those were the days!

[jazzy123461]

were is that????????????

[Handiman544]

We used to know what talent is. In case you have forgotten, this is it.

[KingdomClock]

Peter Falk = GENIUS

[SamPhilippMoor]

So Mrs. Columbo's first name is Rose? Just like that?

[falmark187]

I wish i could have that napkin.

[CK1223]

a class act

[432b86ed]

I've laughed much harder... but in this case never better. There's something not just likable but uniquely, well -- endearing about Columbo . Falk, as usual, stays in character so convincingly here. Don't seem to grow tired of watching this clip. He didn't always think he could do comedy: (watch?v=mYEmUX86S04)

... maybe a good reminder and inspiration to the rest of us

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

This still has me in stitches; after all these years...Great stuff! 

[MBFURUZ]

Yes, he IS king!!!

[JRRDPR]

i still watch the old Columbo eps all the time.

[CSavageSr]

@EllSieMovies Who could?

[baloneyshoe]

@EllSieMovies probably one of the murderers he caught

[BritishAlienCompany]

How the hell Falk didn't laugh i do not know! This has made my day x

[65papillon]

The negative vote must have been someone who Lieutenante Columbo arrested, and still holds a grudge.

[buckstoneboy]

columbo..the best...loved the way that you knew right at the start who the guilty party was..and he made a pest of himself, lowered himself, pissed them off like he was an arsehole who didnt know his job...just one more thing he would say..and they are like..ok what is it columbo (thank fuck home free after this last question they think)..superb.

[OHLeeRedux]

@Guledify A long fucking time ago. Ronald Reagan still had his senses, Orson Welles is there . . . Life ain't nothin' but a long goodbye.

[whitee1992]

@OHLeeRedux ah so it was ronald reagen!

[kfag101]

Falk hit on charles Manson back in the 60's true story

[CSavageSr]

Falk was a genius. I LOVED Columbo. So unassuming. So polite. So devastatingly accurate!!!

[MommyFrazzled]

Brilliant!!

[WillShakespeare2007]

Thank you for the upload. Some incredible stars there. Love Columbo watching a few over Christmas spending it alone. oh well.

[zedo0]

That was great. This is the closest i'll probably ever get to time travel lol

[carlosss666999]

i love columbo.this is very funny!

[TheTmny876able]

In Murder by death he was hilarious, and the brinks job, and the cheap detective.

[thecoololdcat]

So very cool!

[kimbela32]

thanks for uploading! I Love Columbo.

[jwklbm326]

Tour de Force! Peter Falk owned that room!

[luap123311]

He was not only a great actor but a great comedian to watch & listen to !

[tonypirog]

Brilliant genius stuff without resorting to C words anfd F words and P words (like they do today). Today's roasters coudl learn from watching this stuff,

[marcuslaughton]

@tonypirog i agree. Check out the vincent price roast of bette davis true class. peter falk , great actor , great comedian.

[paganklh1]

@tonypirog  i get the c word and the f word..whats the p word?

[tutu1987]

@tonypirog what's the whole point in roasting anyways?

[bcbsil12]

@tutu1987 For laughs. And it's a way of showing the roastee you care.

[pierrelarouge]

LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!

[lorrainewands]

One of my absolutely favorite shows: Columbo! He was the king!

[croutonfada]

Lovely upload. Thanks.

[CK1223]

[jessieemeg]

[JRRDPR]

i KNEW HE WAS A GOOD ACTOR BUT HAD NO IDEA WHAT A GOOS SENSE OF HUMOR HE HAD UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO.THIS IS UTTERLY HILARIOUS.THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH!!!:-))

[tapdance86]

I got these for Christmas :D I haven't watched all of them yet. These are hilarious!

[lorrainewands]
