- Lt. Columbo (Peter Falk) Roasts Frank Sinatra (1978)
Dean Martin managed to get all sorts of great names to sit down and be roasted but when he finally got Frank Sinatra, all bets were off. Sinatra's tough reputation was well-known so would people really show up and throw jokes at him? Of course they would and what an incredible line-up that came to roast the legendary singer/actor. Special appearance by Peter Falk as Lt. Columbo.

Didn't once break character. Didn't once crack-up, quality acting. Had that Hollywood "royalty" in the palm of his hand. We miss you Peter Falk such an amazing talent.
Amazing is the only word....what a guy !
Peter Falk was an amazing talent! He ‘became’ Lt. Columbo on set.
I agree, Philip Jones, Peter Falk was Hollywood “royalty”!
In character, hilarious without being rude, vulgar or unkind. What a guy! 😊
I love him as Columbo.
That was amazing!!!
He was PERFECT as Columbo. No one else could have played the part like him. He is and always will be Columbo.
Yes the character died with him. They must never do a remake EVER.
Originally it should have been Bing Crosby. Thank goodness he turned the part down.
@@wanderer1955 no. they tried to remake bilko with steve martin. trying to replace falk would be equally disastrous.
His real life was very much like Columbo - shabby, wore the same clothes and very doggedly determined.
U ain't kidding made for him
How could you not love Peter Falk as Colombo? God bless him.
May he RIP & Is sadly missed, by all of his fans etc.
And God bless you! 👌❤
He still is a lovely star. I keep watching Colombo movies weekley.
@@MyREDTAIL Is Frank dead?
@@kunnskap6289 Yes. He died in 2011😭
The funniest thing about this is how it isn't really funny. The absolute precision with which Falk just rambles on about nothing in particular is utterly hilarious. A man mentioning that you can't lose a comb because it glows in the dark shouldn't be amusing, but when Lt. Columbo drops that tidbit at a celebrity roast, it's absolutely hysterical.
Completely agree. Dry humor is so hard to pull off at that level
The artful display of a very American meme first popularized by Ohenry: Exaultung the commonplace. Falk does it very well. These are things I am sure all these stars have dealt with among fans, and I am sure fans have all experienced in one form or another when meeting celebrities. It could be seen as drole, if it were not so overshadowed by wholesomeness.
Well, he may not be telling jokes, but it is intrinsically funny because we're already in on the joke concerning Columbo's manner. His appearance at such a gathering is already charged with humour as it's so incongruous. Just asking if Dino's shoes are rented is hilarious given what we know about Columbo!
Yes! He stays in character throughout!
Exactly. No one would understand any of this without having watched Columbo.
Tears in my eyes I laugh so hard at this. If this was scripted, Peter Falk made it so seemless and so personal, it was as if Lt. Columbo himself was living and breathing on the stage.
Me too and, Right on!!!!!!!
That was the perfect reply.
I'm 36. Whats a night letter?
In case you’ve never found it “night letter” refers to a cheaper way to send more words by telegram. telegrams were priced per word & sometimes by timing for delivery. So if you wanted to send a telegram with a lot of words, but didn’t have a lot of money, you could send as a “night letter” with more words for less money, but wouldn’t deliver until the next morning, instead of same day.
The implication as Columbo is using it is that they weren’t being cheap - they paid to send a lot of words at the regular rate.
Yeah and that cigar and the glow in the dark comb!! And making a nuisance of himself!!!
Falk knows this character so well that you could probably just give him a rough idea for a scene and he could come in and deliver "Columboisms" left and right.
That's because even when playing the character of Columbo he was just being himself under imaginary circumstances. Those are all his genuine mannerisms.
For those who may not know, Peter Falk starred with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin in "Robin and the 7 Hoods" and was truly hilarious in it. Frank Sinatra even was quoted as saying that Peter Falk stole the picture.
WHAT! I didn't know that a movie like that existed!!!! I HAVE to see it!!!!! Thank you! :D
Never broke character one time! It's no wonder Peter Falk is beloved by millions of fans. He never disappointed us. There will never be another one like him. We were fortunate to have him in our lives and in our living rooms across the nation every week. He is deeply missed, but he left us three decades of Columbo that live on today.
How was it possible Peter Falk kept a straight face when he suggested Mr. Sinatra go for an early-bird special
The Jerry Vale gag was better...
Of course nothing tops what Johnny Carson once said to Sinatra:
"I've always wanted to know...when you get a girl on the couch, and you're ready to make your move, whose record do you put on the turntable?"
The implication being, Sinatra plays Jerry Vale songs while screwing a chick...
@@LeonAllanDavis thanks man ♥ I didn't get that one and I'm getting others to watch this
I don't know!
(Pure talent!)
$1.99, I love how he humanizes the BIGGEST stars, just a regular guy, I LOVE IT!!!!!
Yeah, just great acting I guess. This show's his dead pan acting skills were second to none.
How did he manage to keep a straight face during this delivery. Wonderful talent. RIP
I revisit this clip whenever I'm feeling down.
Me too. It's the perfect antidote. 😂
"He knows showbusiness, he knows Broadway -well he sold barber supplies in the Times Square area" - Comic Genius.
🤣🤣🤣
He never broke character, never had to stifle a laugh...that was about as amazing a performance as you'll ever see. Those roasts are scripted, but Rickles wasn't faking it...Falk was killing him.
YOU MEAN FALK KILLED RICKLES...WAS HE ARRESTED?
@@STEAMBOLTANNIE "Oh, Mr. Lieutenant Columbo, if you don't mind, sir, just one more thing..."
@@docadams7099 Oh Mr Sinatra..... just one more thing.. .. can we do a duet
You've got this bang on. Rickles knew comedy and he was to take away. Falk was brilliant. I think this is the best comedy monologue of all time.
That’s just it- one of the most amazing performances all time!
if you get belly laughs out of Frank Sinatra and Don Rickles you must be doing something right. Totally original, deadpan, rambling stream of consciousness Columbo. This was a man not known for being a comedian who had comedians in tears. That's talent.
I watched this video maybe 50+ times .. and I counted AT LEAST 3 famous people in this video!
@@operacarmen Me 20 or 30 times.....so funny.
@@Habu2 😅
@@operacarmen Ronald Reagan, Dom Deluise, Jonathan Winters, Gene Kelly, Don Rickles, George Burns, Jack Klugman, Flip Wilson, and more...there's a LOT of talent on that stage.
That's Peter Falk, yo. The dude was a legend among legends. If you enjoyed police drama TV back in the 70s and 80s then this man was your hero. What an amazing talent
Considering Sinatra's alleged ties to the Mafia it would have been hysterical if Columbo started to interrogate him as if he was a suspect in a murder.
@@willoughby1888 Hoffa
You don't risemto his level and NOT be involved in some way.
I was kinda expecting that. But Don Rickles is the only one I've seen truly go for that. Treating him like the Godfather and all.
@@dougthemoleman Yeah, Don Rickles had a talent for doing that.
He was mafia I dunno about alleged ties, everyone knows he was protected & when mafia protect something it's becasue there's something in it for them.. many lower level mafia connected wannabes went missing planted in the desert just for approaching Sinatra & drawing attention becasue he was their golden cash cow.. it's common knowledge
Peter Falk was one clever, sharp, witty guy. He was a great actor and humanitarian. He was Colombo but so much more. RIP.
Don Rickles is cracking up big time....a sign that Peter Falk was up there with the greats!
And Deano too !
The way he stays in character is amazing.
That's because he was the character. Even when performing as Columbo he was just being himself under imaginary circumstances.
Possibly the greatest “roast” skit of all time
😢
An absolute tour de force. I love how Columbo takes a few conversational steps forward, then two or three back, and keeps you on your toes.
A masterclass in character comedy. In fact, I will be so bold as to state, “That there are not enough superlatives to describe just how good Peter Falk was.”
This is pure classic. When giants roamed the earth.
I love what you said never will we see the likes of these men 🙏🏽
Great talent and no WOKENESS
@MrJParkes No swearing. No profanity. No white man bashing. Great script. Can give and take a jibe. I'd say they were well and truly a cut above anyone around at the moment.
@MrJParkes Really?
Peter Falk (Columbo) was very popular tv shows in Iran before islamic riot in 1979.Oh one more thing and some Iranian men used to dress like columbo.Dear Peter we all are missing you so deeply.
nice ajajajaja
That's why the Quran has so many verses. Allah kept saying to Muhammed "Just one more thing..."
I lived in Tehran, and elsewhere in Iran for a year before the revolution. I DO remember how they loved Columbo and Kojak.
Did the show it in Iran subtitled I hope? (Please not dubbed….)
@@poetcomic1 how about Robert Blake as BARETTA?
2024 and first time seeing this. Crying, but laughing SO MUCH!!! True talent, Mr Falk!!! ❤🎉❤🎉❤
This was just like it was out of an actual Columbo episode.
The way he winds up the guests like their suspects
Yes!
One of the funniest eleven minutes ever!
I could not agree more.
You are correct!
Peter Falk was beyond amazing as an actor...he wasn't too shabby as a scholar either...
He held a Masters of Public Administration from Syracuse University.....
Falk was an absolute master
Just one more thing...
Columbo roasted Sinatra by not making Frank the joke. Brilliant.
These guys defined the words professionalism, style and true entertainers.
"They claim now that when you make a record that Jerry Vale does the singing for you." Hilarious!
This is one of the greatest of all Friars Club/Dean Martin roast appearances. Peter Falk/Columbo was brilliant!
6:15 - Somewhere there's a wealthy janitor who retired after picking up the tossed autographed napkin.
Very smart!
I'd like to think so. 😁
not only did he score a free pen but he got the record too, and just one more thing - rickles was in love with this performance!
He very smartly snaffled the LP.
This is when the people at roasts actually put some creativity into coming up with something unique. Now it's all just obvious, expletive-laden insults.
and political diatribes
"Are those shoes rented." Peter had them laughing from the start to finish. Love the autograph. That would be worth money if Peter kept it.
It's still in his wife's bank vault.
I don't know exactly how many episodes of Colombo there are but I have 35 on VHS. No one else could have made that character any better, he was absolutely brilliant.
There's 69. (Not a joke)
@@terracottapie I had no idea that he did that many, then again, It was and still is a great show.
I think arround 67
I have ever episode on DVD, I still get excited watching them!
7 seasons, DVD Box Sets.
Peter Falk what a gem God bless him absolutely loved him in the Columbo show acts exactly the same way RIP 🙏 💖👼 Truly Loved & Missed!!!!
Carried it for 10min.
Funny. Unique.
We had no idea where he was going.
back when writers could write and you didn't need an f bomb to make it funny, genius!
When Don Rickles wasn't woke.
He would be considered ofeeeeensive today.
Flip Wilson wasn't offended by him.
That event had more talent in the room than all of Hollywood today.
A lot of talent at that table.
And unless I'm mistaken, only one or two them are alive today. Kind of sad.
A lot of talent indeed. And also Ronald Reagan.
@@nbartlett6538 ....Before he got into politics, Reagan was an B-list Hollywood actor, probably knew most of those folks from his earlier career.
Exactly
Indeed. And Falk has them watching him like little kids around a Christmas tree.
Haha I love how he steals the record in plain sight !
That was a wonderful performance. He should have made his exit from the microphone walking back to his seat BEFORE asking Frank to sing.... then half way back to his seat, turn around and walk back to the microphone and say, "I'm sorry, just one more thing I forgot to ask you" and then ask him to sing Bye Bye Blackbird.
That was par excellence, that act. Peter made you think Columbo was a real person. That was the longest act I ever saw on a roast. I laughed from beginning to end, but I loved the scene where he tried to return the pen to Dom Deluise!! That was delicious. My brother liked it too,; we were under the impression he had said "Oh, oh, oh I forgot I forgot." My brother impersonated Peter with an old crusty voice. What we learned much later the line was "...Just One More Thing". Miss you Peter.
Dean Martin Roasts were the BEST!
Mr Faulk, always seems so genuine, Columbo, was and still is a classic, holds it's own 4 decades later.
I'm in my 60s and I grew up watching Columbo. I watched this clip 100 times and laughed my head off each time! The young people of today don't understand what is so funny about this clip. I told them that he is an actor named Peter Falk who is pretending to be the character he plays on TV. They still did not get the joke. 😢
Young people absolutely do watch Columbo
Depends which young people. Same as not all older people like Columbo.
Born 2001, I love this clip so much.
A hilarious roast without one curse word.
Norm Macdonald did this in later years -fantastic;)
And they were all great friends too. That's what makes it so wonderful too.
And without anyone getting slapped.
The fact that Don Rickles was laughing constantly was a definite sign of approval. A lot of Legends in that hall, on that occasion...
Amazing to this day...all improvised, all ad-lib. Peter Falk was a gem.
There was some ad-libbing, as with reactions to remarks Sinatra made, but the entire bit was obviously scripted.
.
I LOVE how he is SO down to earth in this, celebrating the EVERYDAY person with the rich and famous!!!!!!!!
Modern "stars" take note.
These guys were already legends but were still funny, light-hearted and at ease with normal people.
No hint of self righteous preaching at all to be seen.
Just fun 🙂
BTW: Peter Falk is brilliant
So many great people sitting on the stage... ahhh days gone by... such memories... RIP everybody.. you entertained us and continue to do so still.
Yes everybody 😥😥😥😥
Peter Falk, genius!
one of he best things i have ever seen. Fancis Albert is superb but Lt Colombo steals the show here. a true masterpiece of wonderful satire. i have watched this over 30 times and never get tired of it. Bless them both from me in Liverpool,England.
I watch it over and over again, just to see Jimmy Stewart's response to the autograph scene. Something tells me that everyone on the panel can identify.
Americans have NO IDEA how beloved Falk's Columbo is in Britain, Germany, Australia, France, Mexico, Japan, EVERYWHERE!!!
One of the greatest, off the cuff performances ever... you don't see stuff like this anymore!
not off the cuff. He knew exactly what he was going to say.
It was great. But I highly doubt it was off the cuff.
Genius performance,had them eating out the palm of his hand
I was 23 in 1978! Never miss the Roasts. Come to think about it Columbo was not missed TV either.
I'm pretty sure Ive seen most, if not all, the Dean martin roasts. This is by far the funniest bit ever to be taped and shown.
No foul language, just pure fun. Frank and Don joining in and Peter keeping in character. The actors and actress’ on the dais were true kings and queens of comedy.
Except for Ronny Raygun.
It is the ONLY time, ANYWHERE, Mrs. Columbo is referred to by her first name...Rose
Except from the spin-off - Mrs. Columbo - where she was known as Kate Columbo. It was a show that ultimately failed, though, so I'm willing to consider Rose the canon name, lol.
@@ojtheviking Falk himself often said that show had nothing to do with HIS character.
@@Carandini Yeah, makes sense.
And his name was Frank Colombo.
@@ojtheviking I am aware this was said about 6 months ago, but I've just done a bit of research myself into this Mrs Columbo series and want to share - you may find this interesting - Mrs Columbo was married to another detective called columbo, not our beloved Frank Columbo. I would like to imagine that the two of them were married their whole lives without a divorce haha. The Mrs Columbo show was later renamed four times, with the last name being "Kate loves a mystery". The NBC originally named it Mrs Columbo in hopes to carry on the Columbo mystique without Columbo himself. The policeman Columbo was not Peter Falk's character, just some random policeman coincidentally also called Columbo.
Peter Falk..amazing actor...underrated sometimes..he deserves to be mentioned up there with deniro..pacino..and all those guys.......one more thing.....thank you v'ry much
he was a far better actor then deniro or pacino
@@christopherbrown6284 Possibly so. I thought he was really excellent in the original "Twilight Zone" series episode "The Mirror". And of course, every single episode of Colombo.
Never saw a bad performance from him.
That was the best one I have seen yet...Colombo you are priceless!
You still remember me afer all these years. LMAO!!!
Ring Ring
When you can publicly roast a legend like Sinatra, you know you are the one!
I'm rewatching all Columbos series at the moment. Great stuff.
Sundance channel.
R.I.P. Peter Falk.
Falk as Columbo is one of the best roles of all time. He was so good.
Wow - and he stayed in character!
That's because he was the character. Even when playing Columbo he was just being himself under imaginary circumstances.
Brilliant! Peter Falk was an amazing actor. His talent for serious drama or comedy is still unmatched today! I laughed more this evening then I have in many many weeks. Thanks!
Peter Falk was 1/3 of the great trio that also included John Cassavetes and Ben Gazzara. They were best friends and 3 of the most gifted actors and directors of all time. They took chances at their craft that others could only have dreamed about.
That's cool that those three were such good friends. Makes it more significant that John Cassavetes was in one of the Columbo episodes, and Gazzara directed another two. I'll bet Falk pulled some strings to get his friends on the show.
@@ojtheviking I agree, he always took the time to acknowledge the crew/ fellow actors on talk shows, praising them highly. What a legend and a Lovely man. RIP Peter.
@@ojtheviking Columbo directed one episode.
@@747heavyboeing3 True!
@@ojtheviking one more thing...I meant Peter Falk.
Colombo killed it! Sinatra was crying!
Now that’s entertainment!
Peter Falk’s voice sounds magical. Can never be replicated.
Everyone there is dead now. Time flies.
Most, Rich Little is still with us.
😢
I'm often overwhelmed by sadness at these old clips, but that's where the beauty lies
this guy is a legend.
Every time I need a laugh I come here.
Never fails to cheer me up.
Priceless. This is true comedy. Especially when he asked Sinatra for his autograph. Just priceless.
The great and underated comedy genius of Peter Falk
Irreplaceable...
Two of the most hilarious characters of all time: Peter Falk as Columbo and Don Knott's as Barney Fife. Both born to play those characters.
redescovering a great talent. R.I.P Peter. " You know you can't lose this, it glows in the dark".
....a "glow in the dark" black comb. He made it almost believable.
When you can say and do things like that... and stay in character... and NOT LAUGH... then that's the sign of absolute brilliance.
Absolutely brilliant. How I miss those days.
Ohh God, i laughed a lot!..my favorite actor ever!
He is great. This show was wonderful. A lot of good memories watching this with my father.
Dean and Don look like they’re about to suffocate from laughter. 🤣
What a legend, the most adored and loved actor ever.
Peter Falk as Columbo accompanied my life, i watch them over and over again and i just love the acting. Hes just a Legend
That was pure genius. Peter Falk had his own brand.
What a lineup on that stage.
I can watch this over and over and never get tired of it. It's so funny!
I must have watched it 20 times now......
...all these great and funny actors on one stage...GREAT!!!👍
I have watched this three times and have laughed harder each time I watch it.
I was hoping for the.... "Just one last thing..."
He is funnier than other comedians in this generation and this is years ago. Peter wasn't even a stand up comedian and still funny so handsome and talented ❤
Jesus Christ - that was fantastic. Normally hate these sorts of things - they just aren't that funny.
But hahaha ffs he KILLED it. Fantastic work.
Too funny. I've watched this so many times!
Peter Falk’s Lt. Columbo not only immortalized one of TV’s greatest characters, it also glazed a literary dimension of colloquial genius equivalent to Huck Finn or the gallery from Dickens’s pen.
I find it amazing that on that stage is over 50 years of Hollywood culture shared by most everyone which is one of the main reasons this "bit" works so well. Columbo paying tribute to Frank Sinatra is beyond "beeaking the 4th wall". So far, that one forgets Peter Falk is even needed.
