Still Love Sammy, a true renaissance man. So happy to have been alive when entertainers had to have REAL talent. RIH Sammy Davis, Jr., you opened the door for so many Black entertainers to walk through.
Sammy would have loved some of these cooking shows we have now. I've read he was an excellent cook. How can one man have so much talent? Aren't we blessed? Thanks for posting this show, Joe.
I just said the same thing them people should have been losing their minds Sammy Davis Jr. Are you fucking kidding me?? They should've been cheering and standing the entire time he was on there 😂😂😂
Sammy was a class act all the way. A part of me is sad when I watch videos like this because old Hollywood (as my generation would know it) has a certain glamor and humor to it that todays stars can't even hold a candle to....
That's awesome! I love Sammy and Im 26 years old and also loved Johnny Carson! I used to watch The Tonight Show with my grandparents... Thanks for sharing your memories!
Sammy looked classy as always! I love the way "STARS" used to dress like stars!!! Unlike today, where they show up as if the just came from a BBQ wearing jeans and tennis shoes. He was truly an all around 'ENTERTAINER', that's why they called him "Mr. Entertainment'! RIP Sammy.
...and he 'checked out' almost a year, to the date of this show, later. I consider him a genius...one of entertainment's TRUE geniuses. And he was actually way ahead of his time, because he was ELITE in several skills (dance, singing, impressions, acting and hosting his own show). The public also seems to forget how much of an excellent tap dancer, he was. The World wont see another Sammy Davis Jr. But for him, we wouldnt have accepted Michael Jackson or someone like a Gregory Hines.
I was with Mr. D on his last "Tonight Show" appearance...with Johnny Carson.... He was such a gracious man and rehearsed in all red sweats....with Doc and the guys... An amazing memory !
One word to describe Sammy, LEGEND!!! Although i never saw him in person, I was very fortunate that I was old enough to witnessed the talent to one of the greatest entertainers of all time whenever he appeared on a television show. Thanks for the memories Sammy.
as a kid I had to go to bed before 11pm. So, I didn't get to see this, never caught the OG airing. Thank you for posting this. Sammy is one of my Fav Black pioneers. Legendary entertainer!
Arsenio really had the best show back in his time...His line-up of guests reads like a "Who's Who" in the entertainment business, plus he had Bill Clinton as a guest, before he became president, to boot...Sammy was a fantastic interviewee and has the best stories, because he has experienced so much throughout his life and career...His guest appearance on The Cosby Show was very memorable...Had he not smoked, did drugs and drank as much as he did, he would've lived way past 65 years of age.
Sammy was so sweet and has such an amazing sense of humor. I love Candy Man a lot and I'm glad the crowd gave him his props. That's really nice of them.
For Those that Don't Know When Sammy Said "I Hope you're Not Upset Paul" He Of Course Refers to Iconic Actor Paul Newman Who Of Course has His Newman's Own Food Products. Dressing, Frozen Pizza and More. So For those who don't Know What He was Talking about in the Beginning of The Interview There You Go!!!
This generation missed out on all these folks like Sammy...this man went through a lot and in the end almost got homeless because he "forgot" to pay taxes.
Cigarettes absolutely suck. My Dad just died July 8. His only and I mean only health problems were directly related to cigarettes and nothing else. End stage COPD is a terrible thing to see a loved one go through. He basically smothered to death. Go smoke some more cigarettes.
Trying to get the man I love to quit it has already caused mild damage, and I don't want it to get worse and lose him. Taking care of yourself is not just for you ,but the ones who love you as well.
Sammy Davis Jr was to real of a person he was a entertainer but when he was off stage a real person. We so need a real movie of his life I mean a real blockbuster.
Sammy is great, so honest about the stuff he did, he doesn't give all the usual celebrity hogwash about how " I had to do drugs, it was forced down our throats" etc etc. He tells the truth, he did it because he wanted to do it, to get high, none of this "I've got an addictive personality, and people around kept saying, try this try that" Just god damn honest truth, the man deserves respect and not for just being a great all round entertainer, but for admitting and accepting when he did stupid stuff it was his own fault, nobody elses. He mentions in another interview about not spending much time with his kids because he was more interested in being up on stage and entertaining fans and making money, he already had more than enough money age 30 to just sit back and live the rest of his life in luxury. He admitted he has a few regrets, but didn't try to put the blame on other's for his mistakes. Very rare for a celebrity to not blame agents, doctors, everyone around them when things go wrong, but to man up and say " it was my own fault, I chose to do it
KajunMs39 back in the day, he was on from like '88-'95 or '96.. CE back in 2014 but it didn't last long.. Idk why. Arsenio was the best talk show host in my opinion
StephanAOTTO1, I couldn't agree more !! ACKNOWLEDGE THE GREATNESS ! This man was acknowledged by the other GREAT entertainers of the last century , i.e. Sinatra , Nat Cole , Dean , et all ... to be THE BEST entertainer of his generation ! PERIOD ! And he didn't even get these people on there feet ?! Shame on you ! Thanks for posting this . David
With classic show biz folks, you never know who they really are, but judging on this appearance (performance) here, he seems like a real class act and a giving man.
Having lived in Indonesia for a time I got used to spicy food and when I came home I had to put Sambal Oelek ( Indon chilli sauce), on everything because western food was so bland. LOL. Love Sammy, always have, always will. He was the greatest. ❤❤❤❤❤
When Sammy performed at the Sands Casino in Vegas they wouldn't let him stay at the hotel , Frank Sinatra stepped in and said if he can't stay here I don't perform here . needless to say Sammy was there that note. These guys broke barriers, RIP Sammy
I had forgotten how distinctive his voice was until he started speaking in the interview. What an awesome talent all around!
"Thank you for the warm reception" So much elegance
Was not called " The world's greatest entertainer " for nothing. He earned it. One of my biggest heroes❤
Sammy NEVER missed a fund raiser for St Jude's hospital! Danny Thomas loved him for that dearly.:')♡
Still Love Sammy, a true renaissance man. So happy to have been alive when entertainers had to have REAL talent. RIH Sammy Davis, Jr., you opened the door for so many Black entertainers to walk through.
Now there's loads of them.

Love you Mr Davis my main man I met you walking down 52nd. St my heart stopped because I stood next to you.Josie Robinson
Sammy is a legend. I was born in 88, so shortly before he left this earth, but thats a very biased opinion. Many talented performers today too.
Oh man! The Legend that was/is Sammy D Jnr... Man! That generation were great in every sense...
He always presented himself well. With class.
R.I.P (Return if Possible) TO THE CLASSIEST BLACK MAN THAT HAS EVER LIVED!!!!
Hahaha......I like that one !!! RIPossible,..please !!!

I was yelling @ the audience! How terrible!
Sammy Davis Jr. was a beautiful soul man Love you R.I.P!
Sammy was one cool cat man.
He took a lot of bullshit coming up! God bless you Sammy! Thank you!
He was the greatest all around entertainer of all time, bar NONE: He could do EVERYTHING.
Sammy was a class act all the way. A part of me is sad when I watch videos like this because old Hollywood (as my generation would know it) has a certain glamor and humor to it that todays stars can't even hold a candle to....
Sammy Davis, James Brown, Miles Davis...men small in stature, who were giants with Ginormous talent. R.I.P fellows and thanks for the memories.
The generations that didn’t see Sammy as a performer, missed a whole lot.
Sammy had some meannn' swagger
Truth.
That's awesome! I love Sammy and Im 26 years old and also loved Johnny Carson! I used to watch The Tonight Show with my grandparents... Thanks for sharing your memories!
A good 'ole fashioned genius and LEGEND!
That man could do ANYTHING!
He is even a divine story teller. he talks cooking as its entertaining as hell.

Sammy was an American original.
What a legendary class act. We need more genuine entertainers. There'll never be another like him, that's for sure.
Wow. What a great sense of honesty, humility, and comedy. Legendary
This was THE MAN PERIOD!!!
This is real SWAG kids
I was with Mr. D on his last "Tonight Show" appearance...with Johnny Carson....
He was such a gracious man and rehearsed in all red sweats....with Doc and the guys...
An amazing memory !
Just watched the PBS American Masters on SJD. it featured bits of this show.
the show made me feel great respect and great sadness
What, no standing ovation for this legend? That’s beyond messed up!
EXACTLY
@0:31...l saw one person stand, then sit down.
He handled this obvious oversight with grace by thanking the audience for their welcoming reception.
This man displayed swagger 24 hours a day. A true entertainer and classy man. He is truly missed. 😭😢😰😦😧😨😩😢☹🙁😞😟
Sammy was a class act and a legend. I wish I was around back in the Rat Pack days.
One word to describe Sammy, LEGEND!!! Although i never saw him in person, I was very fortunate that I was old enough to witnessed the talent to one of the greatest entertainers of all time whenever he appeared on a television show. Thanks for the memories Sammy.
Truly legendary. Sorely missed, but never forgotten. Funny, funny guy!
SammyDavis Jr. and Dean Martin were my favorites of thr "Rat Pack". Thanks for the Vid....

Thank you for posting this. Sammy is one of my Fav Black pioneers.
Legendary entertainer!
One of the most talented and classiest human beings in the history of show business.
Perhaps the only performer to ever make me shed tears...Superb!

Always a joy to watch and listen too. Thank you, Sammy!
I love his honesty about his drug and alcohol use...
Great interview. Sammy was and is a legend. Thanks for posting this classic.
Class act.
And a proven Satanist.
Sammy's charisma could keep Las Vegas illuminated for a century
Sammy Davis Jr. Was the number one swag was invented in the first place.
The hotter the better. Sammy was an icon. Great!
not marble nor the guilded monuments of princes shall outlive this great man!! legend!!
Sammy was so sweet and has such an amazing sense of humor. I love Candy Man a lot and I'm glad the crowd gave him his props. That's really nice of them.
A shame what he went through with those white racists in Army.
I truly love this man with so much class and elegance

How the hell did Sammy NOT get a standing ovation.
SAMMY = REAL OG swag
This generation missed out on all these folks like Sammy...this man went through a lot and in the end almost got homeless because he "forgot" to pay taxes.
His honesty is humbling me! We are so lucky he was!
Just a shame he couldn't kick cigarettes as well....they killed him. Truly the greatest entertainer of all.
So sad! He might still be with us today, if he hadn’t smoked. He would have been 95 this year!
Cigarettes absolutely suck. My Dad just died July 8. His only and I mean only health problems were directly related to cigarettes and nothing else. End stage COPD is a terrible thing to see a loved one go through. He basically smothered to death. Go smoke some more cigarettes.
@@scottmoore1614 Yes...he might be alive today since his mama lived to be 95 and his dad 87.

I removed SDS's comment. It was inappropriate on many levels and not in keeping with the spirit of my channel. ~ Joe
Thank you Joe. He was my friend and he and his family became my family also those words were so hurtful to him, then and us. God bless you.
I love Mr. Davis' honesty.
I love how he pronounces "Arsenio"
So much talent,a true legend

This man open doors that Brothas is walking through still as in today. RIP Sammy
he was so down to earth.....i luv you sammy. too bad i was just a kid when he past away. i wish i could have caught 1 of his shows.
"Crossover sauce".
That was legendary.
My goodness! How long has Arsenio been on t.v ? Does anyone know the years? He has had some remarkable stars on his show.
+KajunMs39 Arsenio could put out a fabulous DVD box of his best interviews since he owns all the shows
KajunMs39 back in the day, he was on from like '88-'95 or '96.. CE back in 2014 but it didn't last long.. Idk why. Arsenio was the best talk show host in my opinion
5 Years - January 1989 to May 1994

With classic show biz folks, you never know who they really are, but judging on this appearance (performance) here, he seems like a real class act and a giving man.
He was all that and more. He jump started our car battery with his Rolls Royce on our visit to Las Vegas in 66.
Having lived in Indonesia for a time I got used to spicy food and when I came home I had to put Sambal Oelek ( Indon chilli sauce), on everything because western food was so bland. LOL. Love Sammy, always have, always will. He was the greatest. ❤❤❤❤❤
my uncle Snoop brought me here #GGN
Oh my...Laughing out loud.This is awesome material.Why we dont got stuff like this on tele anymore.simple basic stuff.True humor.
My Father was so much like Sammy.
Real Husband's of Hollywood brought me here lol
Look at his hair.. his glasses.. 🤩🤩🤩🤯 classyyy
That recent This American Life ep about Frank landed me here.
Priceless!!!! ❤️
No guy left like him in entertainment these days, what a gentleman, class, those cigarette killed ever star back in them days,.
Sammy was a good man and a damn fine entertainer.
I wish I could sit down with Uncle Sammy and get some wisdom. I’d shut my damn mouth and just listen to him.
When he said “I hope your not upset Paul”. He was talking about Paul Newman
first break music going out was Bela Fleck and the Flecktones,..what's the song name ?
Great anchorman showtime Arsenio looking for words to say...
It's bcoz the great Sammy he is on with!
class class class
Class = Sammy Davis JR
When Sammy performed at the Sands Casino in Vegas they wouldn't let him stay at the hotel , Frank Sinatra stepped in and said if he can't stay here I don't perform here . needless to say Sammy was there that note. These guys broke barriers, RIP Sammy
Class incarnate
Sammy was so honest about the drugs. I respect him so much for that
