George Burns 100 Years of Laughter #1

[avalanchesuperstar]

Bob Hope lived to 100, and his wife Dolores just died last month at the age of 102.

Smoke the big name cigars bought at cigar shops, hand rolled, they aren't laced like cigarettes, but what kills you is what is sprayed on the leaves during their growth My great grandfather grew tobacco, he carried dried leaves in his pocket to put in a pipe or rolling paper.

@7201988 So Alan King was only 7 years old when his son was born ?

[BayareaGuy06]

@trwent No George Burns song Ronny Burns died at 72 in the year 2007 that's what I meant by his son George Burn's song.

[BayareaGuy06]

@BayareaGuy06 I meant his son not song.

[1234567pokemonmaster]

@7201988 His dad was 3 when he became a father?? O,o

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Who says you can't smoke cigars and live to be 100? George proved them wrong.

[Pugslee3]

@NinjaGhostScorpion Mr Breuning smoked cigars and lived to be 114! The secrete to longevity is smoking cigars!

[echovarde]

Unfortunately, people like George Burns have not been replaced..... TV and radio just are not like they were in the olden tymes...... so I relive the Golden Age by using YouTube.... thanks for the creation of YouTube!

[giberish9]

It took 7 years after George Burn died to get featured on Larry King? Thats just sad.

[OldMrMemories]

I'm sorry but I just never found George Burns or Milton Berle funny. I loved the rest of those era. Red Buttons, Martin & Lewis,Sid Caeser,Red Skelton,Jackie Gleason, Art Carney. They were all great but this old fart never did anything funny. He just stood there with that big stogie and telling stupid stories.

[wrcoe]

Be sure to read some of the books by Burns. "All My Best Friends" is a tremendously amusing and interesting book written about his experiences in the entertainment business.

[dnt9217]

I love gracie's face at 2:45-47 when she says, "And then I do my drinking!"

It gives me hope to hear about a Hollywood couple that truly loved each other.

George tells the best stories!!!!

[BayareaGuy06]

RIp George Burn 1896-1996 Alan King 1927-2004 Ronny Burns 1935-2007 and Larry Gelbart 1928-2009

[kincaide67]

Ronnie Burns died in 2007 at 72? or Alan King's son died at 72?

[kincaide67]

there is no one better than George!

[Irishstew97]

Norm Macdonald

[kincaide67]

Norm's good, but...Sorry, I can't go out on that thin of a limb with ya. Ain't it great to have our favourites.

[QueenB4Life]

lol *throws drink* "what was that", "one for the road"

[storrs19]

George rocks! He did live a long life as did Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Bob Hope, Phyllis Diller, Betty White, Bea Arthur, and some others I have probably forgotten. These people are all comedy greats and have made me laugh for many years now.

[Blackjesus3]

ye n its crazy how he wud always smoke cigars n still live to 100

[Gregg30]

@Blackjesus3 - A lot of famous cigar smokers lived very long lives...Groucho Marx, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar.

[Blackjesus3]

ye milton lived to his 90s n grouche lived long ye i no i didnt no sid lived long

[Gregg30]

@Blackjesus3 He's 87 and still living.

[Blackjesus3]

yupps i no :) all the comedians :)

[RealTime88]

@storrs19 Don Rickles is another one. Bob Newhart, Bill Cosby (who I got to see 4 days before my 22nd birthday and got to speak with during the show). The comedy greats are always the one that laid the ground work. I love humor as much as you do.

[ninesplines]

Larry king spends too much time talking about himself and triviality.

[redtweety26]

I know that alot of people ask why or how is it that classic comedians lives so long. Laughter. thats it, laughter keeps people healthy and they know hope, george loved gracie and knew that she would be waiting.

People knew how to keep hope because they struggled through alot and the only thing that they could keep and share with others is jokes, laughter, and love.

Well said, Stephanie.

God bless you, kid.

[hypnobubble12]

If you laugh so hard, you can paass out or even die, but your statement is 100 % true meng!

[Blackjesus3]

so true

[burnsybaby1987]

Very sharp and intelligent man!!!

[nd3018]

I looked for the book Larry talked about but apparently it was never published.

[ajlposh]

YEa, this is from 2003, but this was taped in 1996 right?

[ajlposh]

never mind, ignore that.

[mbsjrcc06]

This is from 2003, since the news crawl mentions Barry White's death.

[Astraldragon1]

WOW 100 yrs and 45 days that is a long life.

[Astraldragon1]

George Burns was very funny and missed all lot. he did live along life, just like Bob Hope both men lived to 100yrs of age....a long life indeed not many people live that long.  I'm 40yrs old and both Men and Vincent Price were 3 great talent I wish I had a chance to meet them before they passed away...but I have the memories of them..

[eggnice]

i'm 32 years old and i remember George. i grew up in manton projects and all we had was an old black and white tv back in 1982. fox ch64 played old movies and shows with George Burnes in them ,, i remember OH GOD YOU Devel.. that was a good movie i recomend seeing it .. George Well miss you !!

[Indy788]

thank you!

[jitterbug121]

They are much loved and missed by many of fans and will never be forgotten......

[cheemooo]

he looked young for his age, i bet he would have made 120 had he not smoked that crap and sliped in his tub!

[cscentrlvideos]

Great comedians like George Burns & Bob Hope lived to a ripe old age. It confirms that not only did they lived a full life, but a life full of smiles & laughter as well. Whatta way to live! I guess laughter is the best medicine - for disease or old age for that matter. So keep a sense of humor everybody! :)

[CK1223]

the greatest

[flipcritic]

My favorite comedian of all time.  Somebody please post some video clips from "Oh God"!

[madamemimp]

I loved Oh God. Sadly I do not have any clips. But I will never forget his reply when someone asked him, How was sex at 90+? He replied, It is the same as trying to play snooker with a rope. Lol THE BEST

[9aspengold5]

One of the few true husbands, who loved his wife until the end of his own life, even though she passed away before him.

[gwo1974]

still very muched missed. Rest in Peace with Gracie, George.

Thank-you for the laughs!

[deanfan32]
