A Few Moments with Eddie Cantor
Loading...
Uploaded by weirdovideos on Nov 20, 2006
Stage, radio and film star Eddie Cantor puts on a classic vaudeville routine including a few jokes in between breaking into song.
One of the biggest entertainers of the early 20th century, the type self-deprecating humor he helped define can still has influence today with comedians such as Letterman, Conan and Jon Stewart.
Musical numbers include the daffy "Oh, Gee, Georgie" and the irreverent "The Dumber They Come, The Better I Like 'Em," arguably a classic even by today's standards.

How would I imatate that set up? I mean everything, the guy standing on a (stage?) in front of a black background adddressing the audience in black and white with the poor sound quality.

I'm guessing this wasn't filmed in front of an audience and they didn't have laughter tracks back then?

"you remember we had the week before christmas last year?" hahaha

Painfully bad, they must have been desperate for entertainment back then.

How wonderful to be able to reminisce on the great stars of the past - entertainers of his calibre would be wonderful to see again. I cannot believe that he turned down the Jazz Singer.

just came upon the video because of Boardwalk Empire, so I now know that this guy Eddie Cantor is real an not a fictional character, suddenly I'm very interested in this time period, my favs on the show, Jimmy Darmody, Chalky White, Lucky Luciano and Arnold Rothstein,
