Amazing, Dean walked on for the first time and did this routune without rehearsal. Some might say it shows,but the end product is just great entertainment that can't help but put a smile on your face ! He was an entertainment genious !
You're right Dean should have been recognized by the Academy for several of his roles. He definitely deserves to be recognized even if posthumuosly. His roles in The Young Lions '58, Some Came Running '59, Rio Bravo '59, Ada '61 and Toys in The Attic '63 come to mind.
Remarkably like the time Merman drowned out both Streisand and Garland on the latter's 1963 TV show. Streisand just gave up. I love the bit here where the band lose time on Blow Gabriel Blow - Merman just keeps singing until they catch up with her! Dino, as always, is priceless.
This must be what they call timeless entertainment. It made me smile a lot, it wasn't boring even though this clip was clearly outdated, the humor was still effective. And a lot of it looked impromptu. Great post!
They say he was always unrehearsed, he made light of the Q cards. in any case the end results were hilarious! I was born in 1965, his show ran in to the 70's him and Carol Burnett were my favorite shows fot laughs!
Great video! There was a video of that time of Lanie Kazan on RUclips where she sang the Trolley Song and Porgy ande Bess... I loved it but it is not on internet any more!!! Do you have it? Miguel from Argentina
I met Lainie Kazan, twice, when I was 19, back in 1978, & working at a Hair & Nail Salon, at a Playboy Club, in New Jersey. I went to her room to give her a manicure & pedicure, both times. At the time, I had NO idea who she was! I was told, by my boss, she was a singer.When I got to her room, I was NOT impressed...BECAUSE I was only 19, & into 'The Top 40 Hits' & rock & roll music...SO....all I wanted...was to 'get it over with'! What I remember, from 36 yrs. ago, was her telling me that her feet were "a little messed up", from a car accident she had been in. (I really didn't notice anything wrong) Her young daughter & her assistant were in the room. Her assistant was 'fawning' all over her, & my impression of her daughter...was...that she was 'acting like a brat'.....I DO remember, both times I was there, Lainie ordered matzo ball soup!
It makes me laugh that celebrities that aren’t well known, are the ones who act like they are so famous and are bigger than they really are. Nothing stays with one longer than a chance meeting with a famous or not so famous celebrity that leaves one feeling nonplussed. I know that my encounter was with a extremely famous celebrity, But in 1984, I met Joe DiMaggio in LaGuardia Airport in NY. It was later in the evening and My cousin recognized the baseball legend and MR. COFFEE spokesman at the baggage claim. There were hardly any people around when she went up to him and asked him if she could get his autograph. She explained that it was for her brother , who was a huge Yankee Fan. Well, you would have thought that she asked for both of his kidneys! He was rude and mean and begrudgingly relented and I laughed when my cousin gave him her pen and the pen didn’t work! He became very agitated and let out a deep heavy breath because he had to reach in his pocket to use his own pen and HIS pen was dry as well! LOL 😂 That didn’t stop my cousin, she started emptying her purse on the floor in search for another pen as he shook his head in anger and she pulled out a rabbit’s foot keychain and asked him to hold it while she dug through her purse! By now, I had visions of Lucy Ricardo, from I Love Lucy, doing this in one of the episodes! Finally she handed him a pen and got his autograph and he was really nasty at this point and I looked at him and said, “ see if I buy another MR COFFEE again!” DiMaggio looked at me and let out a little laugh.. He never apologized for his attitude but I would be damned, if I was going to fawn over a man whose fans gave him who made him a famous sports legend.
I wouldn't call Lainie Kazan beautiful, but she's got a kind of brazen sexiness that makes her irresistible. Just saw her in "My Favourite Year" with Peter O'Toole. Yummy !
Also Lainie Kazan's success as a Singer wasn't ad meager as some on here think, her little string og hits carried het a long way! And I'm sorry to all you Ethel Merman die hards, that woman's voice could raise the dead! That was one overated singer!
A harmonizer Ethel is not. I guess she never saw the need to do so, especially in situations beyond the Broadway stage. Her powerful voice is definitely over kill here. Too bad.
Three generations of singers. Ethel was nearing the end of her career, Dean was at the Apex of his, and Lainie was starting hers! What tallent!

Agreed.
WOW! TV could not get any better, Ethel Merman, Dean Martin and sultry Lanie Kazan.
the best smile of the day whenever you see his face
Likle to hear Dean and Lainie Ethel sing singing. They were having fun.
One of my favorite videos ever. All are class acts with TRUE talent. I still adore Lainie Kazan. She's one of the best actresses ever.
Who else wants drinks with the three of them after the show?
I never get tired of this clip! I watch it almost every night! It's one of my favorite videos on here! GREAT!
You can see they are having so much fun together! Live and alive television times!!!!
I just love this! Love when Ethel belts out the tune really loud and strong then Dean almost falls down! LMAO FUNNY!
Great Show
Ethel’s voice upstages the others. Not her fault, but it is what it is. Especially when they sing together.
God bless them all.
THIS IS MY GO TO VIDEO WHEN I NEED AN UP MOMENT
Loved this. Thanks.

This was great! Thank you for posting it! 3 class acts together on one stage!

Lainie Kazan sang a rendition of the Trolley Song (I believe on this episode) that was sooooo good. I wish someone would post it.
Oh I wish I could hear it !!
I love this!
Awesome
OMG you got guts girl!!! Keep posting ......and Thank you soooooo much!!!!!
Ethel Merman AND Dean Martin in the same clip!!!?!!! AMAZIIING!
How could Dean and Lainie keep up with Ethel's powerful voice? (1:55 LOL)
Noe Berengena
Noe Berengena Ethel basically turned Lainie Kazan into a stage prop! lol Lainie’s voice wasn’t strong enough to be heard over Ethel. lol
lol you can barely hear Dean Martin singing with Ethel Merman and Ethel Merman totally drowned out Lainie Kazan. lol 😂
Gosh, it is like beauty and the beast.
@dangraphic actually,he never was drunk.it was his act.when he held a "drink" in his hand on stage,it was tea.
Let me argh, argh, argh my god, she barks.
Singing WITH Ethel Merman must have been DIFFICULT!
Me think the Dean and de lady having a laugh
Great video!

Miguel from Argentina
Dean was off key, drunk, but smiling! Merman...could care less anyone else was singing. Props to Lanie to laugh through this mess.
Lainie was hot stuff... beautiful and a great voice. I wonder why she didn't become a bigger star... poor management, maybe?
what is the song that sounds at 2:36?
What’s in the medley
Ethel and Dean and Lanie sing a medly of song.

Wall-E type beat
What year was this done?
Poor Ethel couldn’t blend to save her life, or to save a number.
would you know if connie francis will be on the new dvd set of the dean martin
show? i know she was a guest in the late 60's and would love to see it

Beautiful is just one if the words that describe her.
Lainie Kazan recently watched this clip and commented laughing that Merman drowned them all. And is it me, or is Martin rather inebriated here?

Merman was the greatest Broadway musical star ever - Kazan sold cigars
A harmonizer Ethel is not. I guess she never saw the need to do so, especially in situations beyond the Broadway stage. Her powerful voice is definitely over kill here. Too bad.
Is it just me, or does Dean Martin look drunk? The video is great, nevertheless. I just love Ethel Merman's style!
it was part of his act ... his shtick ... always apple juice in that glass ...
@omarinem
When has Dean NOT been drunk?
Dean Martin is a fool.
dchiapello ... The best kind of fool...he never fail to put a smile on my face.
Dean Martin is fantastic.
