To Me Joe E Brown Is A Gem Of An Human Being So Loving Caring And His Wife And Family As well. May You Always RIP To A Great Human Being Mr Joe E Brown. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
In the nineteen-sixties I worked with Joey Brown and Summer Stock I think the show he did was Harvey about the rabbit invisible he was in his eighties and in great shape used to do somersaults and play tennis everyday he looked wonderful I've always been very fond of him and it was interesting to work with him
Joe E. Brown was and is a true American hero. I lived & grew up on Joffre in Toledo & recall Mrs. Brown, Joe's Mom, living in the next block close to Oakwood Ave. Joe would visit his mom and sometimes walked around the block and as he walked he would garner the attention of the neighborhood kids and we'd start following him and he would be so funny and kind, He was a genuine person, full of love as you can see from this video. They don't make stars like Joe E. Brown any longer.
I am finding out he was a cousin of my Dad's, nice to hear positive comment's, and your right they don't make stars like him anymore, this generation is snobs.
Joe E. Brown is a national treasure. I wish I could have met him and his family. It’s wonderful seeing this tribute, as well as his movies. A gentleman and a true comedy genius. God bless him and his family.
Mr Brown was known as one of most genuinely kind and nice people in Hollywood. It’s not hard to see how he got his warm and loving nature from his sweet family. My father was stationed on Iwo Jima during WW2, and often mentioned how Joe E.Brown entertained the troops there- even.those badly injured in the Army hospital. This, despite the tragic loss of one of his sons in the service. And his championing the entry of German-Jewish refugee children, and subsequent adoption of two young girls. An unselfish, warm and lovely human being. If there’s a Heaven, he must be making God smile.
There is a heaven, and Joe is there if he followed Jesus while down here. It’s very simple. That’s not one of the ways to get there, that’s the ONLY way.
How wonderful that these historic gems are made available to the world for everyone to see. Television from 66 years ago is vastly different from what you see today, but the Stars were still every bit as talented and human as any of those of today could claim. He started from nothing and worked his way to the top, helping others all the way. Joe E. Brown is a national treasure and his works will be remembered and enjoyed for years to come.
I had not heard of Joe E. Brown until "Some Like it Hot" got to Europe, and, like Joe said, "Zowee!!!". I now seek out his work on RUclips and DVDs, and joyfully managed to track down a copy of his autobiography. Clearly, one of the finest human beings ever to have walked the Earth.
@@tld4896 Interesting!...don't know if I can access TCM from over here, but will investigate. As an aside, the Duesenberg that Joe kept for six years was sold to Howard Hughes who chopped the bodywork. Happily, the car was restored to original condition some years ago and is being looked after!
You know--it's fantastic to find out, as I have during the last few weeks, that the man I admired growing up was also a nice person, patriotic, and a loving father and husband. And so talented!
I actually had never heard of this man before, but I love watching old episodes of "This Is Your Life." The fact that he was a nice person a loving husband ,and father is a great plus. Oh, and yes, to top it all off, and most importantly, he was Patriotic. I believe he would be very sad at the things that are going on today.
I don't care what any one says about This Is Your Life, I love it because it had such a good-natured quality about it AND I love seeing the gleeful surprise look on the face of it's subject as they see people that they have not seen in years. It was a great show.
Not specifically mentioned: "In 1939, Brown testified before the House Immigration Committee in support of a bill that would allow 20,000 German-Jewish refugee children into the U.S." (Wikipedia) So, yes. An honorable man.
I live within walking distance of Joe E. Brown park in Toledo. I had never heard of him until I moved there. It is nice to come across this and get an idea of who he was.
More to Joe's credit. According to at least one writer, JEB was one of perhaps only two performers to speak up during the war about prejudice on the home front. Joe reportedly was critical of the internment camps. Pretty daring at the time. (By the way the other performer was Red Skelton!)
1:20 - Studio E was at the old NBC Sunset & Vine facility (demolished; currently a Chase Bank), just a couple of blocks south of the old El Capitan Theatre (later the Hollywood Palace and Avalon Hollywood) Between the Gleem ad and Ralph's ad-lib, it took that long to drive Joe E. Brown from NBC Sunset & Vine to the El Capitan for his "This is Your Life" appearance.
Fun fact: there were actually 2 theatres in Hollywood known as the El Capitan Theater. The other one was on Hollwood Blvd across from Manns (footprints) theatre. This Is Your Life also filmed there. This Vine St. location was home of Ken Murray's Blackouts revue in 1940's
je connai bien cette acteur Joe spécialise dans les comédies. Il est très émouvant en peut ressentir cette humilité et ça gentillesse. Cette émission this is you life ma permi de connaître mieu cette homme et ça famille ou de ces amis . Un document à gardé précieusement avec les émissions sur les grands stan laurel buster keaton harold loyd Boris karloff et tant d autres présenté par le célèbre Ralph Edward.
At 24:10, sounds like Mary Elizabeth Fair and Katherine Lyle. Wikipedia lists them with different names, guess they got married? Wikipedia says Mary Katherine Ann (b. 1930) and Kathryn Francis (b. 1934)

A great comedian I love watching him back in my days I was a kid back then he always made me laugh 😊😊
Wow I remember this day when this was Broadcast l’am 82 years right now thank you for sharing this great moment 😊

I think he was a very funny actor and comedian, thanks Joe for keeping us laughing!!
In the 1960s when I was a boy, he was still very recognizable and popular. He had a cameo min the 1963 movie It's a Mad, Mad, World!
@@luislaplume8261 It’s a mad mad Mad world is one of my all-time favorite movies.
Joe E. Brown is a national treasure. I wish I could have met him and his family. It’s wonderful seeing this tribute, as well as his movies. A gentleman and a true comedy genius. God bless him and his family.
Every time I see Joe E. Brown smiling: "🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺"
When I was a boy, I read his autobiography, aptly titled LAUGHTER IS A WONDERFUL THING. A life well-lived.
“Coast to coast”. That’s a phrase you don’t hear on TV anymore! I remember hearing that on TV shows as a kid in the 1970s..

Most people today have never heard of Joe E. Brown. Even at the age of 43, I hadn't heard of him until I found this. This is so awesome!!!
Showboat, Some Like it Hot, etc.
Same. Never heard of this show either but its a treat 😊
Nobody's perfect,,but Joe was close
"Nobody's perfect" was the best line in "Some Like It Hot".
@@Farrah300 yes
Funny that he had been in show business for SO many years at this point yet his most famous film moment was still 4 years away!
The One and ONLY -- Joe E Brown!💕
Both brothers resemble each other greatly. Such handsome men.

TCM airs his movies quite frequently; unfortunately, they're usually on in the middle of the night. He's one of the great comedians of the 1930s.

Loved Joe E Brown. A funny Man
So Moving and touching , what a heart of gold and a very good actor
I really enjoyed this! Joe's mother and siblings all have the sweetest smiles. And it is wonderful to see such affection between family members.😊
The $2000 this is your life gave to the children’s camp in honor of Joe E Brown son is worth about $20,000 today. Nice amount of groceries.
Such bittersweet programs. Grateful for the videos, but, boy, those people are missed irreplaceable. They weren't phony -- but real.

I didn’t know that. Makes me admire him even more. I knew that red Skelton has spoken up.
Both men were treasures!
He entertained as much or more than Bob Hope in ww2...but memories fade. Would have liked to have met him!
I first discovered joe e. Brown in some like it hot , he had a small part in it but was memorable!
What wonderful family. I loved EARTHWORM TRACTORS!
Joe E Brown a genuine person and very funny actor.
Joe E. had to be one of the "sweetest" men in Show Biz history.

Thx for all your Contributions Mr. Jeffsabu. If you happen to have the This is your life episode with Ole Olson, please, please share
Just 4 years later, Alaska, along with Hawaii would become the 49th and 50th state.
$2,000 worth of groceries donated -- equals $22,000 now.
Could anyone tell me what the two daughters names were, hard to understand what the announcer was saying.
At 24:10, sounds like Mary Elizabeth Fair and Katherine Lyle. Wikipedia lists them with different names, guess they got married? Wikipedia says Mary Katherine Ann (b. 1930) and Kathryn Francis (b. 1934)
