Milton Berle was REALY quick minded. Unbelievable, he was an "old" man in this clip and still actually world class fast AND hilarious!!! This was a privilege to watch!
Well, its entirely possible they had professional writers come up with all this and the two old guys rehearsed for a couple weeks to make it look natural. But sure.
I saw this man at a dinner in 1989... HE KILLED THE PLACE.. they could not get him off the stage as he just kept on and the audience was falling off of their chairs.. it was a Roast.. I was too young for his show, but came to love his showmanship and smarts.. total showman.. and good actor too.
Yes a great actor actually. There's an episode of The Dick Powell Theater where Miltie gets into trouble with the mob. Terrific piece of one hour television. Check it out. It's here on YT.
I was three or four years old the first time I saw Milton Berle on the Texaco Hour. My father worked long hours and I was a night owl. Dad would come home from work and I would sit in his lap and watch late-night television, which in the early seventies, was syndicated programs or Laurel and Hardy films (old b&w stuff, no matter what). The night I first saw Uncle Milty walk out on stage right, dressed as Carmen Miranda, I laughed so hard I peed myself. My Dad laughed and said, "Looks like you had a little accident!" I wasn't embarrassed at all. Milton Berle was a master of his craft!
Watched this on METV night before last. I'm 31 years old and I think this was funnier than any of these new so-called late night comedians could ever hope to be.
When I was young and arrogant, I would catch glimpses of the Tonight Show and its guests, like Berle. And I would watch for maybe 30 seconds and think, 'Who are these dinosaurs?' Older and wiser, I realize what I was watching and how I should have felt honored to see these stars of what was then, to them, already a bygone era, I find it sad, melancholy, and a bit joyful, to see Berle and others of that time (even the 'younger' ones, like Johnny!) all gone now...but here on film, still making us laugh and seeing what true talent looks like....
Berle always kills - i had the good fortune of seeing him do his stand up act in person and he so far exceeded expectations that i will never forget that night - he was that brilliant - I love Miltie may he RIP
Everyone called him uncle Milton! I remember as I child driving through Hollywood and Uncle Milt was being driven in the car behind us!!! I was so excited and kept waving at him, and he was so sweet, God bless him, he kept waving back
I sincerely believed that when society decided scotch and cigars were evil, that's when people became more tight assed! And when suits went by the wayside in favor of slovenliness, That's when vulgarity became mainstream in comedy!
He started on television in 1948, same as Ed Sullivan in 48. Groucho started in 49. Television production came almost to a halt during the war, in 1945 production increased. I love those old shows from the 40s-60s..
It's remarkable how Johnny would know so many of the jokes famous comedians would say. I loved when Johnny would finish the joke with the famous comedian, but in a way that nobody would get mad at him when he did it, and he did with almost every comic!
There's no one like Johnny. I miss him dearly. He may have been a bit of an ogre off the set, especially the more successful he became and as the decades went by, still he was truly gifted and unique.
I remember watching shows through the window of stores that had B&W TV. Uncle Miltie mentioned Conte Candoli--- one of the greatest trumpet players of all time. He and his brother Pete were amazing to play recording sessions with (separately).
Bobby Jim We are - influenced by our environment, culture, and experiences, and then there's the individual genetic "us" - Don definitely had these - but an extra boost of the latter. I knew him for nearly 25 years - the day I met my husband - I met Don and Barbara, "Tony O, Jilly" (Sinatra's Managers and Tony O managed Don post Sinatra's passing) - I assure you - what you sawv- was what was the spark of Rickles and he was always "a bit on stage" (in a most wonderful sense) when with friends and family. A really great man and not at all prejudice- simply used the ethnic uniquenesses to make us laugh at ourselves. He and Barbara had tw/o beautiful children - Mindy was the one I met (when she was about 23) and was most familiar with and she was/is stunning, and is doing some of her own work now.
That's right and you also have to explain about pay phone's and picking up soda bottles to cash them in to get money to use the pay phone's, lol times a thousand! HA HA HAHA HAAAAA!!!
@@gordonstroup1741 Yep, my brother and I would spend a Saturday morning hunting for bottles. We'd then turn them in at the corner store for penny candy.
rolandrd7001 (it truly takes my breathe - I can't believe the losses - I'm grateful for the timing, allowing for us to have know such brilliant talents, endearing personalities, and Class.) Truly there are defining socially chapters in time - and defined in multiple levels, it would be near impossible for the majority of 21 - 30 yr olds to be able to align with the feeling - of our experiences then - now.

Love Milton Berle. His facial expressions make me laugh, and everything he says is so funny. We lost him in 2002; he was 93.
Ah yes , I remember it well .
His death?
@@howardwayne3974
Milton & Don Rickles lived into their 90s and NEVER retired . They were true kings of comedy
So glad I got to experience these guys while they were alive. R.I.P. Mr. Television and Johnny.
I loved the shots they took at each other during the interview....God I miss those people....
Milton Berle: one of the greatest comedians of all time. Seeing him here with Johnny so obvious he still enjoys his craft and hasn't lost a beat.
The good old days.
And Carson...what a personality
I'm blessed to have lived when these giants of entertainment were around.
John Gillespie Me Too! We were blessed weren’t we?
Same. We didn't know we had it so good. Where are all the titans today? The legends?
Yes! When Giants roamed the earth!
Absolutely they were the best and will never be others to replace them
Me too
He lived to 94yrs old~God bless you, and thank you........................(now we are left with junk people)
Got to love Johnny and Uncle Milton interaction with each other. I was literally crying due to laughter. God bless them. RIP
NBC signed me to a lifetime contract, which expired 8 years ago
CLASSIC

I remember hearing about this. He stayed for the Roast because he was expecting finger sandwiches? A total showman is right . . . .
Yes a great actor actually. There's an episode of The Dick Powell Theater where Miltie gets into trouble with the mob. Terrific piece of one hour television. Check it out. It's here on YT.
@@Bigbadwhitecracker How cool is that? thank you so much!
Milton was a unique, fabulous talent. Nobody could put on a better show than him and, if you enjoy slapstick comedy, he was tops.
Did Red Button ever gave Miltey a dinner?😂
Milton to Johnny :”If you told a joke and it bombed .Oh,you know the feeling.”
This is fantastic viewing. Brilliant to watch and totally enjoyable. Damn standards have plummeted.
Truly one of the greats.
Milton Berle was Mr. Television. He was the first one to do comedy as we know it today, incredible man, just such a treasure.
man, the stories that went with them, that we'll never know.
Boozing and whoring.
Milton berle had the best smile RIP
Milton Berle had the best one liners
Had a joker smile
uncle Milty was the genuine article there was no one like him or will ever be! RIP thanks for the memories!
"Freddie, you're not in the show, just sit there please." ...laughed out loud!
lol Me too! :)
always reply that.....that man was so fast with it lmao
I was three or four years old the first time I saw Milton Berle on the Texaco Hour. My father worked long hours and I was a night owl.

He started television in the 40s same as Ed Sullivan
I really miss this kind of talent
Love watching him in its a Mad, Mad, Mad, World!! R.I.P. Milton, You Were Great!!!
Just the way he went....SAILING out there!!
I think you missed a Mad
Movie was hysterical brilliant
Fantastic rapport between these two giants. I am so glad this is here. Thank you!
Milton Berle and Johnny Carson the absolute best of the best ever and forever!
Milton Berle & Groucho Marx both brilliant wizards!!! They laughed at themselves had no ego
TIMELESS HUMOR. GOOD CLEAN ENTERTAINMENT. LOVE THOSE DAYS
Berle, Benny and Burns it doesn't get any better then that!!!!!!!!!
Don't forget Sid
And Bob Hope
And Jack Carter! Now there's funny!
Don Rickles
Mr.Buddy Hackett.Dad said he had the dirtiest jokes,but never in front of kids.
Watched this on METV night before last. I'm 31 years old and I think this was funnier than any of these new so-called late night comedians could ever hope to be.
Milton was sharp even at 80 -
AND he was still chasing younger women around too!
So good I watched it twice. Milton Berle’s speed of delivery so good at any age let alone eighty. Thank you for posting.
When I was young and arrogant, I would catch glimpses of the Tonight Show and its guests, like Berle. And I would watch for maybe 30 seconds and think, 'Who are these dinosaurs?' Older and wiser, I realize what I was watching and how I should have felt honored to see these stars of what was then, to them, already a bygone era, I find it sad, melancholy, and a bit joyful, to see Berle and others of that time (even the 'younger' ones, like Johnny!) all gone now...but here on film, still making us laugh and seeing what true talent looks like....
Berle always kills - i had the good fortune of seeing him do his stand up act in person and he so far exceeded expectations that i will never forget that night - he was that brilliant - I love Miltie may he RIP
Amazing...and still quick and brilliant at 80(!).
Berle was always great on the Dean Martin Roasts, also. And, of course, The Friar's Club. Tops.
Those were icons. There will never be entertainers like those two. Today's late night hosts couldn't fetch Carson his coffee.
the craig ferguson one was decent
Leno did!
Fallon is about as funny as a train wreck 😴
I remember watching him on Tuesday night in the street from a TV store window with a crowd, uncle Milty they called him!
Everyone called him uncle Milton! I remember as I child driving through Hollywood and Uncle Milt was being driven in the car behind us!!! I was so excited and kept waving at him, and he was so sweet, God bless him, he kept waving back
I had not seen much of Milton Berle. I didn't know he was in show business for that long.
i miss that "rat pack" vibe of the entertainers of that era....the suits, the cigars, the glass of scotch, etc......lol
I sincerely believed that when society decided scotch and cigars were evil, that's when people became more tight assed! And when suits went by the wayside in favor of slovenliness, That's when vulgarity became mainstream in comedy!
The Mad Men era.
Same
All of you have expressed my sentiments exactly. No one today even comes close to the timing, class, and natural comedic talent of Milton Berle.
The 60/70's spoiled us.
we dont have this kind of people anymore. smart,respectable,funny,open-minded, gentlemen and smoke!
What a great wit. Nothing takes your stress away like a good joke!
How do I miss all the this great comedian.....!!
In the clip, Berle looked so young. I've never seen him look that young before. And Jack Benny, with the violin bow...priceless!
L.p.
He started on television in 1948, same as Ed Sullivan in 48. Groucho started in 49. Television production came almost to a halt during the war, in 1945 production increased. I love those old shows from the 40s-60s..
OMG this is gold
Milton is an Icon “
One of the all-time great comedians. Not a comic but a comedian. Comics are a dime a dozen.
I saw him in Las Vegas five years after this and he still killed, a true great of comedy.
It's remarkable how Johnny would know so many of the jokes famous comedians would say. I loved when Johnny would finish the joke with the famous comedian, but in a way that nobody would get mad at him when he did it, and he did with almost every comic!
There's no one like Johnny. I miss him dearly. He may have been a bit of an ogre off the set, especially the more successful he became and as the decades went by, still he was truly gifted and unique.
That's because those comics were Johnny's influence when he was a kid. His hero was Jack Benny. He learned from a lot of them.
B.S. I Love You ... perfect ...thank you Milton
Milton is a master comedian.
Yes, a COMPLETE comedian who could do it all - unlike the so-called "comedians" of today who are actually funny talkers(and not that funny, honestly).
I never realized how truly funny and bright Berle was. I always saw bits and pieces, or sitcom appearances.
I remember watching shows through the window of stores that had B&W TV. Uncle Miltie mentioned Conte Candoli--- one of the greatest trumpet players of all time. He and his brother Pete were amazing to play recording sessions with (separately).
When Late Night TV was good, sigh. Miss it.
Big dick and bi-sexual.
Because it has sucked for decades now
One of the great pioneers of comedy.
THE PIONEER!
this is a gift from god i mean these two wow miss them both RIP
I love Milton's voice
Two legends!
Milton Jack Benny Bob Hope George Burns jolson Carson. Gracie Allen Phill Silvers
I miss the comedic genius of an era gone by! No comedy these days, only swearing! These guys were class acts! RIP
I know now whetr Don Rickles got his influences! Truly a Legend!
Bobby Jim
We are - influenced by our environment, culture, and experiences, and then there's the individual genetic "us" - Don definitely had these - but an extra boost of the latter.
I knew him for nearly 25 years - the day I met my husband - I met Don and Barbara, "Tony O, Jilly" (Sinatra's Managers and Tony O managed Don post Sinatra's passing) - I assure you - what you sawv- was what was the spark of Rickles and he was always "a bit on stage" (in a most wonderful sense) when with friends and family.
A really great man and not at all prejudice- simply used the ethnic uniquenesses to make us laugh at ourselves.
He and Barbara had tw/o beautiful children - Mindy was the one I met (when she was about 23) and was most familiar with and she was/is stunning, and is doing some of her own work now.
Don Rickles got his main influence from Jack E Leonard, so Jack claimed.
Rickles idolized Berle
Mr Jimbo 666 was thinking the same thing.
He went on television in 1948... 2 years before it was invented. :) (kidding) --Check out Berle with Statler & Waldorf from the Muppet Show. Classic.
My Old Favorites then and now
Uncle Milty and Johnny, 2 great legends!!
could someone use a single word to describe this video? Yes. Class.
Wow. Incredible
"You don't know who Jimmy Hoffa is? Look in the Yellow Pages under Cement !!!!" But kids these days don't even know what the Yellow Pages were...
Pretty soon, kids won't even know what "pages" are. lol
That's right and you also have to explain about pay phone's and picking up soda bottles to cash them in to get money to use the pay phone's, lol times a thousand! HA HA HAHA HAAAAA!!!
Me too my friend. All the great ones are gone now. George Gobel, Buddy Hackett, Red Skelton, etc, etc.
or cement
@@gordonstroup1741
Yep, my brother and I would spend a Saturday morning hunting for bottles. We'd then turn them in at the corner store for penny candy.
He will forever be the greatest. He was funny. And a decent guy too.
Berle's '48show to '88w/Carson: 40yrs. Now, 2023, another 35yrs.Time flies.
Quick, fast and relevant.
The best
The Jewish Foreplay joke was gold!
Milton Berle was still pretty young here
That years the comedy was something big with this giants!Milton Merle was one of the great pioneers!!!Respect!
Brilliant. Thanks
They are all gone very sad they made us laugh!!!!!!!

Holy shit, Elvis really looked crazy good...
The '60s and '70s weren't too good for The King
Elvis was ultra handsome in his prime.
1956 Elvis can't be topped
@Norma Vandever and the '70s?
what an absolute legend
I had a dear acquaintance-friend that wrote some of Milton's material (Eternal soul energy Peace and Happiness Tony) you were such true goodness...
He got a standing ovation on SNL, he's that great.
Then he got a lifetime ban from SNL
@@themightym1 on that crappy show it's a badge of honor
At 80, he was still sharp as a tack. Legends are not made; they are born.

Milton Bearle and The Texaco Hour was the first time I saw him on tv.
this is the prove that quality never expires. talent is time proof.
Man Berle is fucking quick on his feet if you know what I mean. You can't slip one past this guy without him one upping you.
Lots of people disliked him, but I think he held onto his talent and timing.
Talent has no age limit. two giants just made the demonstration. Guess what 35 years later it is still hilarious, and modern. (2023)
how can you miss them if they are more available now a your fingertips then they were back in the days
He gave its name to a whole genre: Berlesque
Genius.
"Freddy, you're not in the show, just sit there please." LMAO :)
The one! The only! Milton!!
UNCLE MILTIE! "I was listening to Doc Schwartz"
Berle and Carson: Two of the biggest in Hollywood, if you know what I mean.
It sucks to be OCD!
Can't stop worrying and thinking about that damn card he dropped down throughout the show!
TruthBeTold
Hahahahaha!!! Me too ‼️
Ain't nothing wrong with "Obsessive Comedy Disorder"..lol. Not making light of OCD (I noticed that too)...but humor helps:-)
Me too!
Tell your brain to stop it.
Oh, God, this is wonderful....
Why do I have the feeling that what I am REALLY about to watch is "The Tonight Show with Milton Berle and his guest, Johnny Carson"?
two comedy legends
legend
Uncle MIltie was the best.
Freddy was correct on correcting Johnny. :)
wow... amazing.
What a great comedian he was.
I never forget a suite- classic.
Suit.
Just bought his book online.
