Add "&fmt=18" for the high-resolution version. Pat really killed me with the Danny Thomas joke and the Ernest Borgnine joke.

  • His mind was always one or two steps ahead of the rest of us!  He was truly one of the funniest people I remember from the 60's and 70's !

  • Pat was a comedic genius!

    All of those outrageous comebacks Carson threw at you like

    "MAY THE SEWERS OF RANGOON BACK UP IN YOUR BEDROOM"

    That's a classic example of a PAT McCORMICK blurb.

    Both he AND Cavett were responsible for writing some of Johnny Carson's best material when the Tonight Show was still broadcasting from NY.

    Carson's overlooked talent, was his ability to interpret their material to a nation wide audience.

    Of course, That's just my opinion.

  • Look for sirius radio station 104 for the Milton Berle roast.

    .

    Pat is so funny, talking about Milton's sausage, and lots of swears and f-words.

    .

    I never knew Pat was so X-rated the bit it great I heard it Saturday on 104 Sirius comedy radio

    .

    Listen for it, they will play it again.

  • Pat McCormick was my mom's first cousin. On this Christmas, after cooking dinner for my 83-year old mom and serving her more than a bit of wine, I am introducing her to YouTube. I've shown her Frank Sinatra and all her favorites, and she's loving it!

  • today, on Sirius Raw Dog comedy, I heard a clip of Pat at the Red Buttons Roast.....good stuff :)

  • First met Pat, when I appeared at a nightclub, "Easy Street," in Chicago, back in 1958. He was then, a writer for Jonathan Winters, and brought him in, whenever Jonathan appeared at "Mr.Kelly's." The last time that I saw Pat was in 1972, when I was in West Hollywood, CA, to record a single. Pat was still as crazy then, as when I first met him. What a great guy. I truly miss him, as I'm sure that, Paul Williams doies.

  • Pat McCormick did a great bit on the classic Jonathan Winters Show (1972~?) where he plays a King, and spouts the inimitable line:

    "Is that a scepter in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

    Hilarious guy!

  • I miss Pat's humor..I still have one of his LPs ..very funny stuff and the Bowery jokes from this appearance are on the LP.

  • thanks for posting that. i just heard a clip of pat roasting red buttons. i laughed so hard i had to search him out. RIP pat, you live on in the laughter you create.

  • never seen pat him without his stache. his favorite toy to work with was paul williams.
