Henny Youngman on Celebrity Cabaret 1977

[James2758433]

A bunch of recycled jokes. He's told the same stale corny jokes for the last 50 years. I bought an album of his years ago....the same thing.

[Pentagon1311]

Thumbs up if you're here because of Goodfellas.

[arkady714]

I've always loved his humor. But this was the first time I ever say him play that fiddle! All these years I'd thought it was only a prop!

[bapyou]

Read Henny's biography 'Take My Life, Please.' What a life story. The guy was amazing. He really had it hard when he was young; a real scramble.

I've heard Henny's will read:

To my lawyer Irving I leave nothing, even though I owe him fifty bucks.

[349quinman]

Great.

[dubitz11]

the chick at 5:57 is drop-dead gorgeous

[MROSEN62]

Looks like Richard Hall kept all the hairspray companies in business all by himself.

[marlito166]

hes a singer who sings songs......

[vidaa82]

i know abt him because of goodfellas.

[hunclemike]

What a dud audience.

[WhiteTiger225]

"We don't have clean comedy anymore!" You guys do realize at one point, Youngman's jokes would be risque to just plain crude. "Boston Strangler" and "I tried being athiest" would have been EXTREMELY rude and crude 40+ years prior to this. People would be looking to the comedy when THEY were kids as clean, and forgetting THEY had their OWN comedians and musicians who were considered dirty and crude for their time.

Elvis was Crude.

If u can't afford the operation...he'll touch up the x-rays for 50 bucks

gr8888888888888888 post...Rodney's uncle......

[kevinherbert]

Very cool...nice playing too.... it takes a gr8 deal of talent to play off on purpose...

[lilliAUMINGI]

wtf is with the host... that haircut can never be right... i don't care what time you're from...

[RustyTheRedhead]

@lilliAUMINGI --> You're shocked? Think how I felt when I got up this morning, looked in the mirror and saw the same hairstyle plastered on my head!!! ~ RUSTY!

[paulwwwynne]

and followed by les dawson - the namesake of one of the UK's finest comics!

[STU676]

is hall kidding with that hair or what

[Maxima53701]

Rusty is right! I think this is great comedy, not the crap you get today when every joke is at someone Else's expense. Henny is the top banana in my book, and you can take that to the bank!

[RustyTheRedhead]

Hey FUX48-whatever...! This was a PILOT EPISODE, dude, PLUS this is the raw, unedited tape! The intro was reshot cuz of the flubs, which happens with professionals, and as customary, the laughs & applause were appropriately sweetened / enhanced. We're luck to have this this tape of Henny!

[RustyTheRedhead]

Hey! This was a PILOT EPISODE, fella, and this is the raw, unedited tape! The intro was reshot cuz of the flubs, which happens with professionals, and as is customary, the laughs & applause were appropriately sweetened / enhanced. We're lucky just to have this this tape of Henny!

[mmikovich]

take my wife please, that is all i know of henny

[rentatrip1]

gotta love that Richard Hall Hair  "DO" -dude !

[Gossage54]

@rentatrip1 Kind of reminds of Letterman's old hair years ago.

[billionairebb]

This was great! I just talked to Richard Hall this evening and he gave me the link to this page.

[fireballkiller]

i think by the 70s one liners were losing there appeal......far more liberals than normal.

[bapyou]

Huh?

[ryanbrownnew]

by the 70's one liners were losing their appeal? i doubt it .. steven wright came on the scene in the late 70's later to influence mitch hedberg..also milton jones and emo philips

[365degrees]

...I LOVE THIS CROWD!!!!!!!

[llamasarus]

this guy would be a little bit funnier if he talked slower english.

[jguar17944]

i doubt that

[kevinherbert]

@jguar17944 : I doubt your doubt...and raise you a suspicion....

[Starblazer27]

true....clean comedy....this generation needs this

[cdoftx]

@Starblazer27 I picked up a cop dressed as a hooker. I said I wanted to get off. She said "get a lawyer"

[fascistamericadotnet]

either a lethargic audience or just not enough of them

[burns1210]

I'm liking that bow tie.

[SweetVixen90210]

Cleaver, funny and no trash talk or put downs, sad to see that era end.

[Sabre809]

@SweetVixen90210 Mitch Hedburg almost had it down, accept he cussed some but other than that, never talked down about anyone.
