i love George and gracie and I'm so happy they graced us with their talent and let us see their love. it's so lovely. i hope they are happy in Heaven together. 🖤
George reiterated in his book, "Gracie- A Love Story", that he could "feed" her a line from any of their vaudeville routines, and she'd KNOW where to "jump in"....
"Lamb Chops" was conceived by George and a young comedy writer [who contributed "loose jokes" to him] named Al Boasberg, who later wrote for George & Gracie's radio show, and also worked as a "consultant" on Jack Benny's radio program [Jack paid him a $1000 a week just to look over his scripts, and add a few jokes here and there], and helped write several movie scripts- including the "Stateroom" scene for the Marx Brothers' "A Night at the Opera"- before he died of a heart attack in 1937.
This was edited. There were a few lines where George asks gracie about if she likes to kiss and such, and she acts like she doesn't know what he is talking about and says things like "Oh George, who wants to kiss lamb chops". THEN he asks about the six lamb chops and she falls right into the routine like shown in this video. It would be nice to see the full clip unedited as it is very funny.
The full "Burns and Allen" episode where this clip originates is called "Gracie Discovers George's Secret Weakness" (s4ep17). It is here on RUclips at ruclips.net/video/nIlJrf5mguc/видео.html Enjoy the best comedienne ever (imho), who considered herself only an actress and probably never realized how talented she was! Gracie will always be one of my theatre heroines! "Say 'Goodnight,' Gracie." :)
@@weenieboy69g Hi! I was just trying to say, check this if you want to see the whole thing. I did indeed see where a version of the routine got into the show.
Why do you have to compare with the lovely talent we have today and find them lacking? The best of them both past and present are excellent in their own way and the only thing lacking is your ability to appreciate.
I think George Burns is well remembered because of his great success after Gracie Allen's death. Far fewer people even knew who Gracie was during the last third of George Burn's vast lifetime.
What a talented couple, and an unappreciated show.
This is so cute! I recently discovered their show (decades later!), and love it!

Irresistibly charming!
Classic show.
I have that book. It is a wonderful story! I am so glad that "Lamb Chops" was preserved on film!
That was fantastic

You can't stay mad or angry after watching Burns and Allen do a bit of their vaudeville act. I miss them!
This show did not get a fair shake, when you watch a few episodes, it is, and I have say this reluctantly, a cut above I love Lucy.
Almost anything is superior to I Love Lucy, the most overrated show in American history.
Rest In Peace

Can we bring back Vaudeville???
Classic

Is this the name of the episode...I'd love to see the whole thing.

The 8 minute lambchops movie from 1929 is on RUclips.
@@MissBee13 I wasn't talking about the 1929 original. I was referring to the clip from the TV show.

These are two pros! What we have here today is ...is..is ..chopped liver trying to be funny or relevant! Not succeeding!

it's a crying shame that they have been so largely lost to time.
