They were all so good and this was totally delightful. Longest I ever saw elvis stay still. Thrte are no shows like this anymore, nor performers like these, miss them all.😢
I've watched this clip probably a half dozen times in the last year and never realized until just now that the other male entertainer is Andy Griffith! Wow, I suspected I was a little "dense," but not that dense! LOL! Four legendary entertainers in a great skit! Those were the days!
@shivam kardile what makes you think that? Elvis was a singer. And a mediocre actor. Steve was a entertaining genius, musician and song writer. And not a bad actor either.
@@Fancylooks Actually it does. I saw this live when it aired on tv (yes, I'm that old). It was about the comedy, not about singing. Elvis was having fun as an actor. If you can't tell that the entire sketch was basically nonsense, it probably because you don't understand the humor of that time.
@@sharonelliott2366 I am quite old as well, maybe not as much as you, but maybe the fact that I am from Spain, grew and lived in Spain 95% of my life (Spain is in Europe, do you know that?), and continue to life in Spain, makes it more difficult for me to know who those famous people in USA were, except Elvis, he transcended frontiers, as many of your comedians, singers, actors... but not those ones in the film with Elvis.. And, once more, what you say doesn't make any difference to what I first said, it doesn't prove anything wrong to what I said at all, but you keep saying it in a way that tries to challenge it, Why? Just because I didn't know those people?
@@sharonelliott2366 Pues creo que eso tampoco cambia en nada lo que yo digo, así que creo que ni tú misma sabes en lo que no estás de acuerdo, es que no se entiende a dónde quieres llegar ni qué tiene de malo lo que puse en mi primer comentario, le sacáis siempre la punta a todo, acéptalo!
Steve Allen and Andy Griffith both have a lot of skills and experience to learn from. Elvis, good performance student that he was, surely enjoyed learning from both Mr Allen and Mr Griffith, a generation his senior. And all of them surely took advantage of the learning opportunities when Mrs Coca worked. She was a generation older than the senior fellas.
I wasn’t sure but that was Andy Griffith! up there with Imogene Coca, Steve Allen and Elvis! Elvis was a 19 yr old kid just starting out with Heavy Weight Entertainers of the day! As humble as he was he probably thought WTF I’m on National TV w/ Imogene Coca Steve Allen and Andy Griffith! JEEPERS!😜 It’s just so sad he’d only get about 20 more years to Entertain us. But the Boy from Mississippi didn’t do to bad other than how his life ended! What a waste! …
People today are so into their comments. Glad everyone here is an expert. This is just some innocent fun on a tv show. Elvis most likely thought it was fun. He was not as self centered as most people here.
Elvis supposedly was a very cool guy; came down for Tigers 2 and 3oz and didn't understand everything yet esp. Steve Allen who was so ahead of his time but you can see they were having fun. Steve Allen, in those " intellectual " glasses, was so well-read and cool, tho he looks like an old fud now, a shame because that's so inaccurate, that he reportedly was so kind to Elvis, not in TV long yet at that point, got him around to meet people etc. And Elvis did. Two guys who contributed so much to the West Michigan area.
Elvis is a cousin of my moms ( not sure how close because of a backhills family fued my grandparents didn't talk to their family much, still dont know what about) but if if he was anything like my mom and Aunt this is right up his alley with a great sense of humor.
What a gentleman Elvis was putting up with this crap . What a beautiful human being he was inside and out . Elvis Aron Presley....Truly a Prince From Another Planet.
Andrew Miller - this was VERY early in his career and one of his first appearances on TV, and he did have a good sense of humor, and probably was glad just to be on national TV (if he was ever even on any local stations first). You call this crap but you're looking at it from a 2022 POV while the TV was full of variety shows. EP was also on with Milton Berle before Ed finally broke down and had him on the Sullivan show.
@@lynnlobliner3933 Yes I can see Elvis is very young and it was indeed early in his career. However, in 1956 when he appeared on the Steve Allen show, Elvis was already a big national star with the release of his smash hit Heartbreak Hotel. It was already out, and even on its way to INTERNATIONAL, acclaim. The record was released January 27th of that same year. Given that kind of mind-boggling success, I felt this show was beneath him. Having said that, I fully understand your point. We are indeed looking back after many many years of this man's fame and God given talent, which really was in the stratosphere, and still remains so. Elvis has never been surpassed. I think Elvis put up with a lot of silly stuff he didn't want to do. He was too polite, too co-operative, and way too humble. He knew what good manners were, and what it meant to be civilised, and to respect other people, but those characteristics were just more reasons why he was so loved by everyone. Thank you for your reply, it was appreciated.
Elvis was very good at comedy too. He was constantly joking around onstage and offstage! Elvis was NOT a serious boring egotistical guy at all. He was always goofing around back then. Steve was great at comedy, so of course!
OMGGG that was way before my day...... but I Love Elvis & Andy Griffith this was hilarious... I remember watching Hee Haww when I was young I am 54 and my mom and dad and grandparents watched all the time I've heard of this show of course through them... thanks for sharing
The whole time I was thinking that this plus the hound dog episode must have made EP ready to jump off a skyscraper. I don’t know how he survived this.
NOMADdaf - this was one of his very first appearances on national TV, Steve's Sunday night show opposite Sullivan, and this was live. Quit looking at it through your 2022 eyes and watch it through 1956 eyes. There were lots of corny variety shows on TV and they all pretty much stunk from today's POV. Even shows hosted by the likes of Perry Como and Dinah Shore, while having their names on the title, were variety shows with corn.
This is super early tv fool...non of them were super stars yet....this would have been a big break for Presley....any exposure was gold back then. And by the way that so called train wreck was better than some SNLs I've seen.
But we still could recognize the true comic actors. Andy Griffith, Imogene Coca , Steve and Elvis of course. And even a young Gene Rayburn!. Classic Steve Allen!!! Loved it!!
I love this so much I had never seen this video I found it on the back of an Elvis trading card which is part of my collection happy I decided to check it out it was fun
Never seen this! Steve Allen was a super human being! Elvis looked great! He would have been so good if he had his own show than! Can you imagine that?
No começo de carreira muitos artistas passam por cada saia justa, com Elvis não foi diferente, ele bem jovenzinho, mal eles sabiam que este rapaz magrinho iria se tornar o rei do rockroll
Cowboy groups were popular back then and this skirt is a great parody of the genre. Four super talented performers spoofing in a tradition that has kept SNL relevant for decades. Lovin' it.
Now I can see why Elvis said he had sold out when doing the Steve Alan Show. I always thought it had to him wearing the tux singing to a hound dog. The whole show looks like they tried to just make fun of the music. Elvis was a good sport. You can definitely see his star quality. Holding his own up there. You gotta love Andy Griffith
His fans could forgive Elvis in 1956, for at that part of his career, he could do no wrong in his fans’ eyes. Elvis sold out when he began appearing in movie abominations.
How in the world did Elvis ever recover from the miserable encounters he had with Steve Allen. Steve Allen thought it was just a big joke. He had no clue the talent Elvis had.
How have I missed all these years seeing this clip since I was a kid that Andy Griffith was on the show with Elvis? I can't believe I never noticed that until now. In my defense I wasn't born until 1979 so the clip was already over 25 years old before I was old enough to realize what I was watching. But still I've seen this clip several times even as an adult and somehow still missed it.
The movies were not his fault, that was the "colonel", illegal immigrant conman dutchman Van Kuijk. Elvis knew most of the movies were crud. The only good one was "King Creole" and he only liked that one.
I've had the soundtrack to this on Bootleg for many years. I never realized that around 5.20 into this performance that Imogene Coca is singing "Begin the Beguine". To me the best version of that song is sung by Melora Hardin in "The Rocketeer". Another nice version was done Pete Townsend and Mike Nesmith.
Me too. Only watching it today after hearing it for 40 years did I recognize Begin the Beguine. That’s a marvelous tune. As a friend said; it sounds good by anybody. Of course, 40 years ago I didn’t know it yet. My favourite version is Billy Fury. He may not have enjoyed recording it but it is a thrilling record.
Elvis did not like Steve Allen after he had him sing hound dog to a Bassett hound.... Bet Allen never expected Elvis to be so famous over 60 years later
I heard just the opposite, Colonel Parker told Steve that Elvis really liked doing his show and offered him 5 more appearances but Steve turned it down because he wasn’t sure the writers could make Elvis funny week after week.?That was when Ed Sullivan made Elvis the same offer
"Allen never expected Elvis to be famous"...You kind of got that all wrong...Steve Allen was the FIRST to see the talent and ability of Elvis...Had him on the show a few times, and this before anyone else...Are you just annoyed that your hero looks like a young goof, here? It was a comedy show and you can't see that Elvis is actually having some fun, here?
That singing to a hounding was belittling to Elvis and he never forgot it! He went through alot in those days, any lesser man would've given up! In the end he showed them all and had the last laugh, even almost 50 yrs. after death he's Still revelant!
Je rafolle quelle bonheur de retrouver nos ancêtre avec plaisir ces artiste doué en ont bien amusé plus d un mes grand. Parents mes tantes mes oncles tous savaient chanté joué de l instrument et dansé QU' elle richesse l amour au beau fix au sein des familles et Ami 💟👪👏
Wow Elvis & Andy singing together. Who would've thought? I always thought they was on different sides of the World. Too bad Elvis never guest starred on the Andy Griffith Show!
Allen allegedly had given Elvis another ‘chance’ at tv, but had to be done his way. Allen’s body language tells all, by having his back to Elvis in the skit, seemingly cutting him out and never making eye contact; he wasn't fond of the young boy or the music he represented. The media was all Elvis in a negative light at this point in his career. Allen essentially forced Elvis to not be himself while performing. Instead just stand still, and wear tails while singing hound dog, all requirements of Allen.
And on the Ed Sullivan Show he introduced Elvis as a really fine young man. And the rest is history !!! Thank goodness the oppressive control freaks lost and Elvis won. Elvis put up with a lot. He was a true pioneer and invented Rock n Roll !!!
As a young man I bought into the narrative that Steve Allen was deliberately trying to humiliate Elvis. Now I look at it differently. In The Godfather, a killing is only ‘business’, in entertainment, being humiliated on TV is strictly ‘show business’. Everyone gets airtime, everybody gets paid. And it did Elvis no harm.
well said ,unbelievable how some people react to comedy ,,this was just for exposure to introduce a young elvis to the masses at the time ,of his career it worked .did we really know he was gonna be famous ,so ,quit being so ignorant
Did Andy like Elvis? I always wondered abt that b/c of the Andy Griffith Show episode "The Guitar Player"! Andy arrests the guitar player & tells him he's ready 4the big time & mentions abt the guy every once in awhile on T.V., "Sounds like s/body beating his dog" & bk then we all know he's talking abt Elvis! We all know Steve Allen was trying his BS 2put Elvis down singing 2A hound dog BUT Andy's name is on his name sake of a show & I'm curious why Andy wld say that abt(which is Elvis)in that episode! Writers or not b/c that's Andy's overall say & I love wating those Andy shows BUT did Andy like Elvis is my point!!!
I caught that too when Andy Griffith said that on the show in the guitar player episode. I wondered too if that was after the Ed Sullivan show where so many people were in an uproar about how suggestive Elvis was. There's never been another Elvis never going to be.

An amazing piece of TV history.
Steve Allen was so good he even made bloopers, stuff ups and ads funny.
This is talent
These were probably Elvis favorite years..he was 21 here.
First time ever seeing this Steve Allen thing with Elvis Presley, Andy Griffith, etc. .... I enjoyed it, thanks

It's hard To Believe They were good enough To get Elvis on that show!
He was still a 'nobody' here. His famous appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show came months later.
The big star here is Andy Griffith
Good enough?
In the intro and closing clips, we see Gene Rayburn, who would later host the game show, "Match Game".
EAP So Young. So Gorgeous back then He just started
The “Historic Films” heading is terribly distracting with it covering their faces.
Exactly!
Yes i know. It needs to be smaller.
But we still could recognize the true comic actors. Andy Griffith, Imogene Coca , Steve and Elvis of course. And even a young Gene Rayburn!.
Classic Steve Allen!!! Loved it!!
Yeah I agree. Typically stuff like that should go along the bottom of the screen.
You should search for “Steve Allen and Elvis”, then you see this without the letters. 👌👌👌👌👌
It took me about 2 minutes til it dawned on me that that is Andy.
The theme of that entire show was "Humiliating Elvis and southerners!"
TRUE !!!
If that’s what you got out of this, then you must be a hit at parties. 🙄

We all know Steve Allen was trying his BS 2put Elvis down singing 2A hound dog BUT Andy's name is on his name sake of a show & I'm curious why Andy wld say that abt(which is Elvis)in that episode! Writers or not b/c that's Andy's overall say & I love wating those Andy shows BUT did Andy like Elvis is my point!!!
Dallas Drew Could you edit down your words to even less letters that way I wouldn’t bother to try to read as much as I did
@@Inpreesme Whatever. How's that?
I caught that too when Andy Griffith said that on the show in the guitar player episode. I wondered too if that was after the Ed Sullivan show where so many people were in an uproar about how suggestive Elvis was. There's never been another Elvis never going to be.

I'm assuming this was the same day as the embarrassing hound dog sketch?
