Absolutely amazing.

the funny thing is you juggle worse when you are drunk. As I've always said "never drink and juggle". I am impressed tho, he obviously put in the time to practice to be that good.

Brilliant! One of my favorite stories of him was when he worked with Baby LeRoy on one of his pictures. The Baby was only two years old, and Fields put some gin in his milk. The kid staggered around drunk until he threw up, and Fields said, "I told you that kid was no trooper!"

There's a story about W.C. Fields reported to be true. He fell down a flight of stairs with a drink. He landed in a heap at the bottom of the steps, & had hurt His back, but then showed everyone that He hadn't spilled a drop of His drink! That's called having your priorities straight in life!

He was shown a Baby on the set that everyone thought was just so cute. A minute or two goes by & he puts the baby into a dresser then closes the drawer & says lets get back to work!

Very Non PC!

@ZEEMADMAN Concerding the mainstream media would report it with no sense of humor.

So many 'greats' are tortured souls that we often lose in tragic ways. (booze, drugs, suicide, etc.).

Thank goodness they leave us with a great legacy - hopefully finding peace.

RIght now I'm single, and I find myself amusing meself in the safeway by do tiny little voices and impressions as I walk down the aisle...something about it makes me feel like I'm in a circus.Or when I'm driving and blasting crazy music and singing...I'm so much more relaxed now that I'm out of a 15 year relationship. THe stress is way down, I don't feel anxious visiting her family, I don't have to come up with small talk,

and the conversation is never about what she wants to talk about...

[nataliasandaliab]

hey, let's go out sometime!! hahaha!

[sclogse1]

Now I look back at this because of your comment, and I wonder why I brought all that up here...have to watch this video again...hey...it's 2:35 a.m.!

[nataliasandaliab]

[roon41]

Amen

[whoelse21]

@sclogse1 bro, what does this have to to with the video? ;-)

[sclogse1]

@whoelse21

Boy...I had to wonder myself, after re-reading it. FIelds is one of the voices I do...along with Rodney Dangerfield, and even tom waits...

[funnyguise]

[samjhatfield]

Probably the funniest man ever to live! Shame the booze killed him. Big shame. Christmas 1946.

[EndridCold]

@samjhatfield Yes, but it also made him -- And, you are correct sir, he was the funniest man whoever lived.

[JadeTomZ]

@samjhatfield fields drank all day every day.

he started the day drinking 2 double martinis and carried around thermos full of martinis no matter where he was.

yeah the women always stop the fun, don't they? or start it, depending on the activity. "It was a woman that drove me to drink. I never had the courtesy to thank her." WCF
