Truman Capote on Dean Martin Roast

[naughtygirl3797]

Dill!

[irish89055]

thought they would have edited the boxer joke... considering the times Great shows, some of the funniest comedy ever on tv without the low down jokes today...

[YoshidoriAnimation]

I love this man.

[chrystalflanders]

This is definitely Truman in his finest hour. I knew I loved him before he even spoke a word

[MrMDesade]

I really feel I need to redress the balance here....many talk about how fantastic PSH's portrayal of Capote was BUT watch the film 'Infamous'. I would argue that TOBY JONES(whilst not as well known nor as high profile as PSH) pulled off an even more accurate portrayal in his film. Watch it..see for youself!

[bunnymize]

@MrMDesade

agreed!

fellow gadfly

[TheDeal93]

No shit this is Philip Seymour Hoffman!

[Gorboduc]

Did he... did he just roast the Roast?!? I think he did.

[wreyoG]

why the hell is MArlon Brando wearing glasses and has his hair dyed blond?

[TroyOi]

I wonder if it's even conceivable in this day and age for an author like Capote to be so well-recognized that he would be invited to participate in a prime time show like this. Granted, he wouldn't be there without the strength of his personality and wit, but it's his works that gave him fame. And note he's not alone - Joe Wambaugh, another author, is also there. I SUPPOSE if Stephen King schmoozed around like Capote, he might be an on-air personality. But I think times are really different.

[adminsource]

@TroyOi - true - JK Rowling has the popular success - but she is booring. An not a personality. I cant think of any real personality among authors. 

[shploomp]

@adminsource Thomas Pynchon

[sleepypoodle]

@adminsource I don't think she could possibly be boring with an imagination such as hers, however she lacks charisma and is painfully shy in public - which in her case, has been misconstued by some as being 'boring'.

"Never judge a book by its cover"

[adminsource]

@sleepypoodle - one hit wonder - even if it does come in seven parts. Not having screen presence and charisma - does make you boring. General public will never know her personally - and can judge by far.

She doesn't have the sparkle...

.... maybe thats why Authors are good at writing - because they can express themselves on paper by themself better.

[sleepypoodle]

@adminsource We'll have to agree to disagree on that one then, Robert de Niro is incredibly shy and does not interview well but he's not boring either, it seems that you judge people at a rather shallow level.

[adminsource]

@sleepypoodle - huh? did you actually read the above comments? Or were u drunk when u wrote this.

Robert De Niro is known for his acting - He is NOT an author. The above discussion is about writers. At the level of de niro - you can NEVER be boring. Actors HAVE to be interesting - like anyone who performs in public (comedians). That is outwardly interesting.

[rowan1325]

It was all good

[ProjectFlashlight612]

Capote is TANKED. You can smell the booze from here...and that's something like 40 years away, forget the physical distance. :)

[Volcanic9]

@montmorg67 everything he said was a complete lie? Technically that's a lie mr.

[slysnide]

This Roast show is awesome.

[buliwyf612]

Stupid fag

[SSJ4Yujiro]

This guy had SERIOUS balls for being openly gay at that point in time.

[RachelKris]

@SSJ4Yujiro It wasnt uncommon to be openly gay in hollywood where it was more excepted than regular society. James Whale the director of Frankenstein was openly gay and that was back in the 1930s

[XlettuceXFilms]

@SSJ4Yujiro He has no balls. he is gay. lol

[southernplayalistic9]

@XlettuceXFilms die

[piecat42]

@XlettuceXFilms What's wrong with being gay?

[southernplayalistic9]

@SSJ4Yujiro the point in time is irrelevant. the fact he had balls to be himself alone is magnificent

[SSJ4Yujiro]

@southernplayalistic9 Indeed. Seriously though, the man was a genius and like so many people of his caliber and intelligence his life was confounded by some nasty issues including alcholism and drug abuse. He earned his rest.

[cinneadboy2]

The man is a genius!

[Elendil963]

Oh god, he's completely smashed...

[LordSamuelDespotKing]

Ha. Droopy Dawg.

[MiHiVidz]

It's even funneir if you close your eyes and pretend it's Droopy Dawg.

[veeseee128]

Brilliant  sissy

[veeseee128]

He was a sissy kinda like Michael Jackson but he was brillinat sissy.

[PunyPowerLevel]

@veeseee128 sissy aka openly gay, lol.

[veeseee128]

Capote was a very flamboyant eccentric man. Just the way he talked, the way he expressed himself, the way he joked, .the man was a labor of confidence. Wearing his hat, coat and shades, a mysterious figure dressed in a hat, scarf, and shades, his clothes sometimes  flashy and casual hiding the genius of a brain that seemed to amaze us at times. His literary work is without doubt remarkable and interesting.

[YungBobbySeal]

This man wrote one of the best novels of all time "In Cold Blood" was and always will be a masterpiece by a literary genius

[JACQSIErae]

i'm reading his biography...right now.

interesting man...to say the least.

[FreakDaMIghet]

This guy was the inspiration for Ziro the Hutt in Clone Wars

[veeseee128]

truman as most homosexals loved the good life.

[md991free]

@veeseee128 That is true.

[md991free]

Truman Capote was so talented, smart and with such a unique personality that he was able to move through many different social milieu seamlessly.

He was a bon vivant with a taste for the good life, high life, fine wine, a bit of danger and beautiful people.

Similar to Andy W.

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

@md991free Andy Warhol?

[md991free]

@Mr11MUSICMAN Yes indeed. They both lived amazing lives.

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

@md991free Agreed, RIP Andy and Truman.

[Frequent2001]

the cocaine jaw.

[RevInt1]

Philip Seymour did an amazing job with Capote.

[pawsupgagaloo]

@RevInt1 I know! And I never realized until I actually saw footage of the real one.

[zotos777]

Brilliant and witty.......

[STNeish]

He's a very little giant....

[cgrizzle3]

MIKE TYSON ALSO TALKS LIKE A SISSY...Dont stereotype

[radmac76]

@cgrizzle3 He-he-he! So true.

[veeseee128]

hehe talk like a sissy. I guess he was a sissy but he was brilliant rider. I heard he loved east german men.

[TheMarvs]

just realized this, drew carey does

[guydecervens]

abnoxious fag

[codykingo]

@guydecervens Obnoxious

[seniram91]

@guydecervens yes you are

[MedusasLover168]

whoa he looks and sounds like someone I work with

[veeseee128]

well in the movie capote he was portrayed as gay by phillip seymore hoffman.

[avalover5498]

Truman is god.

[bottledmagic]

Oh I love Truman. :) Dean too!

[Frostbite12211983]

@halobenders84 The face and the glasses.

[dentpopcan]

man drew carey is pretty funny! haha

[wertheriano]

Great writer. Breakfast at Tiffany's and In cold Blood are a supreme mastepieces.

[cessnaverdi]

Despite everything, a brilliant writer. Give The Grass Harp a go.

[MetroStationFanLuv]

that's the best voice ever.

[Terryfan]

WOW

[ScreamingInternally]

Anthony Hopkins said he based the voice of Hannibal Lecter on this man. I don't see it?!

[4freespeech]

Have to admit Capote was one-of-a-kind...a real character

who probably would have never been accepted for the genius

he was anywhere else but the United States.

[hcvang]

@4freespeech you must never have opened a book on european history.

[1clarinet1981]

a great author & drunk!

i salute you!

[MissyZilla]

Oh please. He was definitely drunk. He was a drunkard and he drank himself to death. He was famous for turning up in public and on television drunk as a skunk.

[renumeratedfrog]

Yep, he's a gay version of Drew Carey.

[vdoza33]

LMAAOOOOO phillip seymour hoffman really does look like him!!!!!!!

[veeseee128]

Truman Capote could really work a room, huh? kinda like andy worhol with his gay humor. hahaha.

[xander7ful]

He might have been somewhat drunk, but that is just the way he spoke and acted.

[theresaruf]

@xander7ful He was actually drunk. He was a drunk. :) He was in and out of rehabilitation and died of liver disease/failure. He was famously drunk in interviews, etc. :) He DID talk funny though, even when sober.

[FreakSheep01]

i dont think he was drunk, or something. he was an artist, this is just the way he spoke..

[naltrexone23X]

@FreakSheep01 I read he was REALLY drunk, but he was such a great artist that he could still be a great guest no matter how bombed he got. That was just him. And he was great.

[PuppyXz]

@FreakSheep01 Yeah, talking a certain way is VERY artistic.

[veeseee128]

Capote was a sissy.

[wheelinthesky300]

@veeseee128 Yeah, but in his time, he was America's #1 sissy,

and wasn't ashamed of it.

I get the feeling Truman would have thought the sissies of today were just

...sissies.

[Nkerklaan]

Awesome, everyone is hammered.

[Nkerklaan]

So it's just like modern day roasts except this one is funny.

[ILoveYouUtadaHikaru]

"I don't write short stories anymore" !!!!!

[charlesfrith]

Dean Martin is hammered.

[silentmajor]

i was trying to watch a few videos on Truman but the Canadian speech police have banned them from being fewed by Americans. the Canadians are allways restricting free speech aren't they.

[dieterhenrich]

Who is drunk? Truman or Dean Martin? Or both?

[webgrunt]

@dieterhenrich: silentmajor is drunk.

[balcerebon1]

by the time he was this age, he was severely dependent on alcohol, coaine, and barbiturates

[VitoPossilipo]

I think he is drunk.

[TheLordHodne]

He is.

[Shepherdess]

Truman the Stand-up Comedian! I love it! He pulled it off!

[Frostbite12211983]

Drew Carey resembles him so much.

[SteveAndrewLangford]

@Frostbite12211983 But Toby Jones oh so much more.

[holgerqueck]

Loaded! :)
