For those who either don't know who Ed Sullivan was, or how POWERFUL an appearance was, back then, there were just 3 networks, and, as everyone (literally) was off the streets when I Love Lucy was airing, when Sunday nights rolled around, everyone was tuned to Ed Sullivan. With the explosion in the past couple of decades - first with cable, now with internet, the numbers (ratings) an average episode of his show would get, are next-to-impossible to do now. So, having the MacAfees singing this almost hymnal-like song (Paul Lynde is, as always hysterical), with Harry getting so choked-up, - meeting Ed, was akin t having a private meeting with the Queen, he was THAT big.
@Imani M Not really. Today's superstar is tomorrow's Dancing With The Stars guest is next week's forgotten mention in the Oscar's In Memorium segment. Remember man, you are dust...
Holy Underwear, Batman ! Great tune from a great musical ! I grew up watching Ed Sullivan's TV show in the 60's and 70's. He tried to have something for every age group. THANKS for uploading this fun clip !! CHEERS !! :-)
@@mylesharris6329 You're right, the line found its way into the script of the Broadway production, but it was originally ad libbed by Paul Lynde during rehearsals. 'Birdie's' composer Charles Strouse writes about it in his autobiography. The creative team loved the ad lib so much that they put it in the script.
Paul Lynde was such an amazing comic actor. From Bewitched to Bye Bye Birdie to Hollywood Squares such an amazing talent. Too bad he wasn’t treated fairly and taken advantage of.
Cy@esse’ - I saw this at the drive in when I was like 9 I thought wow if I grow up to remotely look like Ann margret I won’t know what to do with myself.funniest movie musical since some like it hot.
okay anyone who is saying that nick jonas should play birdie in the live theater filmed version of the musical. I disagree completely. The real person who should play this part is BRENDON URIE!! hes got the voice and the personality to go with it!! please start a trend #URIEFORBIRDIE on whatever social media you have and lets make it happen!!
Miss Anne Margaret, Olsen, the Swedish, then n...her's, primes had a shaped of hours glassed, and shesnwas very pretty, now a aging woman's, happy birthdays 82 or 83 yrs old,
Paul Lynde, the outest Hollywood actor ever. On Hollywood Squares tv show was asked “Aboard a ship when a man falls into the sea they shout ‘Man overboard!’, what do they shout if a woman falls into the ocean?” He replied “Full speed ahead!”
Mr.paul lyndon was a very talented, and he's a riots... I had 😅 🤣 😂...laughed all the time's I saw him on t.v. and also films too. Wow!!! R.N.P. sweet 🫛 🫛 🫛 pea's bundle of joy's
I know it's a musical film, but it always cracked me up that he starts singing a random song about Ed Sullivan XD
Yes, but its Ed Sullivan!😃
Then it did it’s job 😊
And now so do I 55+ years after doing the musical in HS!😅
Classic. I love that Turtle on.Speed that pops up now and then
RIP Paul Lynde, he never fails to make me laugh out loud.
LOVE him, always.
His mad "testimonial" and cackling laugh at the end are immortal.
This is pure satirical genius.
Indeed.
"he's my favorite human" I've never been so happy to hear this 😂😂
It’s bizarre hearing something so contemporary in 1964.
"I've got a wonderful wife ... two swell kids ... a good business ... and now this! Ha ha ha ha...!"

The only people ever got slapped on Ed Sullivan where the clowns.. 🤡
I think a way to explain him in a way for people today to better understand, is that he was the original Oprah.
He was dead I think 2 decades before I was born. I know who he was.
There's no wakeup call like hearing Paul Lynde say "I love you."
1:36-1:46 always makes me laugh the most, especially that crazed laugh of his!
the laugh... my thoughts exactly :-)
His Jack Nicholson laugh lol
This whole movie was on acid.
And I loved every second of it
Still find this hysterical after all these years!! Love this , especially Paul Lynde!
Honestly, I love that this really does look like a completely believable family, physical resemblance-wise.
Am old enough to remember when this movie came out. LOL every time I think of this scene. TOO FUNNY! Loved Paul Lynde!
I saw it at Radio City Music Hall back in the day. (Don't figure out my age, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL0).
You channel name is amazing ♥
“Ed, I love you” LOL!
The perfect song doesn't exis---
lol lobe the part when harry says "ed i love you". o.O this is definitaly by far my favorite song
I don't know whether this scene is parodying the squeaky clean '50s or paying tribute to them and that's why this scene is great in my opinion.
In the same movie the mother tries to commit suicide by burying her head in an electric oven - of course it's a parody!
@@mrhyde5280 I know it is...my comment was stating that it could be parodying multiple aspects of '50s culture.
I think a little bit of both
OMG! I love this song! In 1965'66 we did this muslin high school.
Ann Margaret looks like a young kid! This is great!
Don't know why, but this scene/song just randomly popped into my head. Glad this video is available to appease the ear worm! 😂

Literally sitting backstage as this is getting rehearsed at the production of bye bye birdie I’m in
Paul Lynde was the best thing in this movie.
Ed, I love you. Hilarious.
This is Comedy Gold . So well done . You just have to smile or laugh.
One of the, "'Why did this need to happen again?' 'Trust me it does.'" moments from the show.
That is the greatest song!
I had to subscribe because of
🎶 Ed Sullivan🎶Love that song and Bye Bye Birdie is one of my favorite musical😁🎵🎶Thank you!!❤❤😁😁
Brilliant bit of satire, I’m convinced Paul adlibbed that last line, it just seems like a weird thing he would do.
Nope it was scripted in the Broadway and in this version

This clip is like finding a Mormon recipe book.
Paul Lynde was such an amazing comic actor. From Bewitched to Bye Bye Birdie to Hollywood Squares such an amazing talent. Too bad he wasn’t treated fairly and taken advantage of.
As much as I love Paul Lynde he had a lot of personal problems as do the comedy clowns..
That is some advanced humor
theyre all great

I'm forever singing when I have play practice on Bye Bye Birdiem
I love this movie with Paul

Or a good singer and actor could play him...
At the wrap party for this film, Paul Lynde stood up & said, "Am I the only man here who doesn't want to f--- Ann-Margret?" 🙃

How are there so little views for this comedy gold????
Ed Sullivan had it all for being part of bye bye birdie.
Miss Anne Margaret, Olsen, the Swedish, then n...her's, primes had a shaped of hours glassed, and shesnwas very pretty, now a aging woman's, happy birthdays 82 or 83 yrs old,
i love Paul Lynde
Rip paul

I wonder what the real Ed Sullivan felt about this sound
He must have liked it enough to play himself in this film.
Corey Adams makes sense👏
@@MMM-rt8xo Not to mention enough to let the original cast perform this very song on his show in real life.
He was himself in the film, so I’m sure he was fine with it.
Me and they boys when we are on doctor Phil
This song is hilarious.
It's funny how everyone was against her kissing Conrad but was willing to look the other way because it was going to help them
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what we call a big lipped alligator moment
ED SULIVANNNNNN
1:45 XD
get ready for the schohaire creek players...

Mr. Richard Pryor, shouldn't chatted with the wacky Paul Lynn's, he's, a riots,
