Peter Noone Yucks it up with the likes of a Danny Kaye. A snippet of Mrs Brown, and Interview, and then, the inevitable song....with Wild and Crazy Go-Go Peoples!!
I can't believe that this has been posted - what a treasurer. Peter Noone - what a cutie he was. Those dancers in the front - Go-Go Dancers - what fun. This is a real gem to have posted. With Danny Kaye commenting too. Thanks
Being a 23 year old in 2021, it's interesting see how entertainment was so different from the way it is now. I can imagine the looks people would get if they try those dance moves now! But still, life seemed much less cynical during those times. It's sad I'll never be able to experience this in my lifetime.
I remember watching 'The Danny Kaye Show' and was always amazed at how he would walk out and introduce the artist/comedian/whoever with sincere admiration and interest. You usually watched and actually learned something about the performer that you didn't know before. Danny was one of the best.
It's wierd, him just standing in the center, his hands at his sides, looking very mellow and innocent in a nice, neat suit, and then having frenetic dancers in bright clothing all around.
Danny Kaye was just a very nice and caring person, who was only interviewing Peter Noone as any good show host would do, to introduce him to the American public. You may be right about John Lennon, though, who was pretty much a jerk with most on a personal level.
Have to agree with you David. Danny was just interviewing Peter. If you've ever seen a Danny Kaye movie - he's a goofy funny guy ! He's not making fun of Peter he's just being Danny Kaye ! I'm old enough that I watched the Danny Kaye show - he's an extremely nice guy. He worked tirelessly for UNICEF, a humanitarian who worked for many causes.
"For all of his success as a performer... his greatest legacy remains his tireless humanitarian work - so close were his ties to the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) that when the organization received the Nobel Peace Prize, Kaye was tapped to accept it," according to music critic Jason Ankeny
I remember seeing this around Oct.,1965 on television.I was 18 and saw them at the ballpark a few days after I graduated in June. It was the very first time I heard "I'm Henry VIII" when they sang it. I went back 8 years and found I had already made a similar comment. It was performed in August,and aired Sept.22,1965.
Yes. "The Dann Kaye Show" ran for four full seasons from 1963-67 Wednesday evenings from 10 to 11 p.m. on CBS. This followed an extremely successful film career. He also was a fine dramatic actor.
I saw Herman's Hermits a few days after I graduated from high school in June 1965 at a baseball park.They sang a song I never heard before,I'm Henry VIII I Am.I remember seeing them on this Danny Kaye show in the fall.
Kaye's CBS variety show -- and other variety shows of the period (mid 1960s)-- often featured younger musical styles. Music wasn't as age-segregated as it is nowadays; Danny featured pop, folk, rock, country...anything, because audiences were much more open to listening to different things back then. This show originally aired on September 22, 1965, btw.
They were so good at they're craft. Even if they weren't as hard sounding as I don't even care mentioning they're names. But one's band initial starts with a "B'" and the other bands start with "T.R.S's".
@stitchesful This show ran for about five years. Danny Kaye had a very long career as an actor, singer and entertainer! Wikipedia has a pretty good description of his many accomplishments. When I was little, my mom bought me the 'Hans Christian Andersen' album...the soundtrack of the wonderful children's movie he did. There are song clips from it here on YT :)
@partyspecialists That was the attraction? Girls thought he looked like a Kennedy? I don't think he did at all, but I guess I can see why he may have reminded them of a Kennedy. But along with that it must also have been his sweet, wholesome charm.
He was from another generation and probably never caught onto the new rock and roll genre. But he was wise enough to embrace the group on his show to boost his show's ratings.
I'd believe that . . . it was in the 1965-66 season that "The Danny Kaye Show" went color. I.I.N.M., this was one of the early examples of Norelco's PC-60 cameras (the preferred color camera of CBS) in action.
WHOA IT'S A MADHOUSE with those creepy dancers, and the guy with the orange shirt and white pants loves to make those ballerine under ecstasy effect moves AGAIN AND AGAIN XDDDD
I honestly don't see Danny doing anything rude. He's taking interest in the young man's career and early life, and doing it all with his usual good humour. He comments on the hairstyles of the time, lets the boy show off some of what he says he can do (faces), comments on his youth...I saw no: "U THINK U CAN MAKE FACES HAHAHAAA, UR HAIR STINKS, U CLD NEVER B AN ACTOR..." He imitated accents, because that's what he does, and comedians do that all the time. Kaye is a very kind fellow, after all.
I'm American, lyynes - why do you ask? His interview with Peter Noone was very arrogant, but that is the way things were back then. Per ur comment to entity, the world was not exactly a paradise back then unless one was white and a professional (yes, I am white but not blind to particular realities)
You must remember that Danny Kaye on his show there, wouldn't make himself into an arse, because at that time, his daughter Dena would have screamed at him. She was only 18 at the time. Danny was a true comedian, but with certain acts he had on his shows, he was very cordial and understanding. He was learning what the kids of this era liked for music as opposed to what he listened to, during his youth.
Peter Noone did get his teeth straightened later; I always liked his original teeth. He has such a cute smile and nice personality. He still performs! Didn’t care much for the way Danny Kaye had the interview, but I’m sure it was mostly rehearsed. But why invite a performer to your show and then almost apologize for having him? Or feel the need to explain him to your audience?
No, Danny Kaye doesn't suck. Just because he interrupted Herman's Hermits doesn't mean he sucks. He was a talented comedian, and his actions here might have been prompted by others in charge.
haha! I didn't know other people noticed that! We own that movie, and my husband actually looked at the cover and said, "Kiera Knightly does not have breasts that big!" You're right.
@bze2nlz1 Thanks for all the info. I'll have to read that description on Wikipedia, and pull up that soundtrack and even that movie now. I really want to see the other stuff Danny Kaye did because I enjoyed just this little clip of him. Looking forward to getting some more laughs from watching him. Thanks again.
Rebekka, you must go see Peter Noone in person. I just saw him a couple of months ago in concert. He is now 75 years old but he’s still as cute as can be, very energetic and charismatic and the voice is the same! I brought my 29 year old daughter and we had the best time ever.
Movies and television in the mid 60s here in the states were controlled by guys in their 40s and 50s who really did not care about rock music and it shows. Kaye's talking over the Hermits performing proves this point. The kids wanted to hear the song not him talking. And the ridiculous interview to make Noone appear cute looks awkward. In just a few years most of these post world war 2 television performers would take a back seat to rock bands who would make huge amounts of money and sell records far exceeding the previous generation. Kaye, Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason etc would fall into the backdrop as rock groups took over the spotlight.
Love their music, althought they were way ahead of my time. I never realized till this clip how bad his teeth were. I never realized that Danny Kaye had a television show. He made some great movies but I'm afraid if this clip is typical of his interviewing. His variety show was as bad as Magic Johnson's. He kept asking poor Peter to make faces....come on now Danny!
I hope theirs a polish copy of this survived and please post it in here, and post more of Herman's Hermits and Peter Noone performance from upto the latest years, thanks
Danny Kaye can't hide his dis-taste of this Fab act. But Peter's genuineness seems to dis-arm the old-guard Hollywoodian, tho. I wonder what Kaye would've thought of the harder-eged Animals or The Kinks.
Yeah, I think they would like her music still, but I see your point...Media sux they are always saying that women are too fat, and need to slim down all the time...If every girl got down to the weight of a English model, we would all look like heroin addicts. that is way too skinny for me. Remember Kira Knightly and the big deal about her breasts being altered on the cover of King Arthur? I would have been angry too. The media is too in everyone's face these days.
I can't believe that this has been posted - what a treasurer. Peter Noone - what a cutie he was. Those dancers in the front - Go-Go Dancers - what fun. This is a real gem to have posted. With Danny Kaye commenting too. Thanks
oh my goodness he is so adorable, and he has some of the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen!
this song is like a nursery rhythm. infectious. memorable. The hermits will always be amazing.
Being a 23 year old in 2021, it's interesting see how entertainment was so different from the way it is now. I can imagine the looks people would get if they try those dance moves now! But still, life seemed much less cynical during those times. It's sad I'll never be able to experience this in my lifetime.
OMG, the dancers!! How can the band keep a straight face with that going on in front of them??!? Hilarious!!
This dancing looks funny
Looks more like aerobics thn dancing 🤣
😆😅🤣😂🤣😅🤣😂 my thoughts exactly!
I remember watching 'The Danny Kaye Show' and was always amazed at how he would walk out and introduce the artist/comedian/whoever with sincere admiration and interest. You usually watched and actually learned something about the performer that you didn't know before. Danny was one of the best.
Wonderful stuff. Thank You Peter and the band . Very classy.
Such a cutie pie. Love this music a lot.
It's wierd, him just standing in the center, his hands at his sides, looking very mellow and innocent in a nice, neat suit, and then having frenetic dancers in bright clothing all around.
Producer: "Danny, next week, we're going to have Herman's Hermits on the show."
Danny: "Do we hafta?"
Looking at Peter you can see why Americans believe that Brits and dentists rarely cross paths!
Two legends I m o. Loved Danny's songs as a kid. Loved Herman's Hermits as a teen.
Amazing he was only 17. Brutally unrehearsed chat between.
Danny Kaye was just a very nice and caring person, who was only interviewing Peter Noone as any good show host would do, to introduce him to the American public. You may be right about John Lennon, though, who was pretty much a jerk with most on a personal level.
True. Behind his peace and love facade Lennon was not a nice person.
Have to agree with you David. Danny was just interviewing Peter. If you've ever seen a Danny Kaye movie - he's a goofy funny guy ! He's not making fun of Peter he's just being Danny Kaye ! I'm old enough that I watched the Danny Kaye show - he's an extremely nice guy. He worked tirelessly for UNICEF, a humanitarian who worked for many causes.
I reeder tis. I was 11. I saw the band in Des Moines, Iowa, shortly before Peter married his ' Sunshine Girl'.
we danced the night away all the way up through the discos....ha! I sure miss those great days.
Go go people scare me. Worse than clowns.....
But Hermans Hermits rocked!

I adore his teeth! I think they give so much character and are half of what made him so attractive! Perfect teeth are actually kind of creepy looking.
i did go to the danny kaye gig which was in la around summer 1965....
Yes. "The Dann Kaye Show" ran for four full seasons from 1963-67 Wednesday evenings from 10 to 11 p.m. on CBS. This followed an extremely successful film career. He also was a fine dramatic actor.
7.50 is the funniest part of this clip. It never fails to make me laugh!
my brother and i went to that performance in the summer of 1965
Dude in the white pants is shredding that place.
The photo was on the best of Herman's Hermits inside sleeve, I always wondered where it was taken. The dancers must be in their seventies, now.
"I'm not young, I'm 17 1/2" awww!

Wouldn't I love to be dancing on this one!!!
HH is a great group
Peter Noone is proof that you don't need perfect teeth to be a star.
Fine at a distance. but in a closeup those tombstones are horrendous.
That 'dancing' is ABSDURD !!!!!

i went to that gig that day in august 65
Danny Kaye, WHAT A SQUARE!

WHOA IT'S A MADHOUSE with those creepy dancers, and the guy with the orange shirt and white pants loves to make those ballerine under ecstasy effect moves AGAIN AND AGAIN XDDDD
danny kaye was a great bloke!
MUSIC will never be the same! gee;; imagine dancing like that these days!
Those dancers are really really into that band.
omg, this is a little bit hard to watch "make me another face Peter", poor boy. I love those dancers tho.
I honestly don't see Danny doing anything rude. He's taking interest in the young man's career and early life, and doing it all with his usual good humour. He comments on the hairstyles of the time, lets the boy show off some of what he says he can do (faces), comments on his youth...I saw no: "U THINK U CAN MAKE FACES HAHAHAAA, UR HAIR STINKS, U CLD NEVER B AN ACTOR..."

"looks like he is trying to milk an invisible cow."
LOL
There was a kid at my school called Peter Noone,everyone called him Peter No One or Peter Nobody.
I'm American, lyynes - why do you ask? His interview with Peter Noone was very arrogant, but that is the way things were back then. Per ur comment to entity, the world was not exactly a paradise back then unless one was white and a professional (yes, I am white but not blind to particular realities)
Anybody notice the dancers are dancing way to fast for this ballad?
rather excitable dancing at the start for such a melancholy vibe to the song
Kaye looks like Rand Paul.
What is this--The RAND PAUL COMEDY HOUR!!!??
You must remember that Danny Kaye on his show there, wouldn't make himself into an arse, because at that time, his daughter Dena would have screamed at him. She was only 18 at the time.

He was learning what the kids of this era liked for music as opposed to what he listened to, during his youth.
I wish Danny Kaye had let the Hermits complete their song instead of talking over Them while They were performing.
LoL, look at the guy dancing like a goofyball at 0:30 LMAO
This is solid gold!
Heh I thought I was sensitive... I thought he was only being .. well... Danny Kaye.
I love this clip.
Peter Noone is a great guy. Danny Kaye was a JERK! The guy with the leg isn't dancing, he's having some kind of attack!
Does anyone else see it? Peter Noone looks like Justin Bieber! Well, Danny Kaye, he's just
+E X I L E D Hobbit Difference is Peter has talent and class.
not at all
Television variety shows were geared to the entire family. The typical family had one television and the show would have something for each member.
13 years old today
Lol love Danny Kaye trying a Manc accent "bumpy"!
LMAO! dancing!
Peter Noone did get his teeth straightened later; I always liked his original teeth. He has such a cute smile and nice personality. He still performs! Didn’t care much for the way Danny Kaye had the interview, but I’m sure it was mostly rehearsed. But why invite a performer to your show and then almost apologize for having him? Or feel the need to explain him to your audience?
It's just a generation problem. Even Dean Martin made jokes about it in his shows.
Crazy enthusiatic dancers.
NO wonder they stayed in shape) look at that DANCIN
No, Danny Kaye doesn't suck. Just because he interrupted Herman's Hermits doesn't mean he sucks. He was a talented comedian, and his actions here might have been prompted by others in charge.
They are dancing like crazy
The dancers look like thy might injure themselves. Lots of fun. 17.5 yrs. We think we're pretty grown up at that age.
did he said 17???
haha! I didn't know other people noticed that! We own that movie, and my husband actually looked at the cover and said, "Kiera Knightly does not have breasts that big!"
You're right.
@bze2nlz1 Thanks for all the info. I'll have to read that description on Wikipedia, and pull up that soundtrack and even that movie now. I really want to see the other stuff Danny Kaye did because I enjoyed just this little clip of him. Looking forward to getting some more laughs from watching him. Thanks again.
I still love Peter Noone and I miss Danny Kaye. This was an adorable conversation. The dancers were pretty distracting but the music good.
Rebekka, you must go see Peter Noone in person. I just saw him a couple of months ago in concert. He is now 75 years old but he’s still as cute as can be, very energetic and charismatic and the voice is the same! I brought my 29 year old daughter and we had the best time ever.
omg the go-go dancers!! Isn't Peter just lovely?
0:50...Danny has that "can they turn down the volume, I need to talk" look on his face.
The dancers appear to be having a collective seizure...
Movies and television in the mid 60s here in the states were controlled by guys in their 40s and 50s who really did not care about rock music and it shows. Kaye's talking over the Hermits performing proves this point. The kids wanted to hear the song not him talking. And the ridiculous interview to make Noone appear cute looks awkward.

Kaye, Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason etc would fall into the backdrop as rock groups took over the spotlight.
Well they weren't performing as musicians, they were acting here as musicians.
Ive got to hand it to those english blokes... the song just wouldnt be the same without the accent.
What is So Sad.....Is old Fellas(Even puffs like Danny) never appreciated the direction music was going...tho Frank Sinatra did.
the Justin Bieber of his day....
Love their music, althought they were way ahead of my time. I never realized till this clip how bad his teeth were. I never realized that Danny Kaye had a television show. He made some great movies but I'm afraid if this clip is typical of his interviewing. His variety show was as bad as Magic Johnson's. He kept asking poor Peter to make faces....come on now Danny!
Peter had his signature "toof" fixed. Can't believe you didn't know that. You must be young.
I hope theirs a polish copy of this survived and please post it in here, and post more of Herman's Hermits and Peter Noone performance from upto the latest years, thanks
Danny Kaye can't hide his dis-taste of this Fab act. But Peter's genuineness seems to dis-arm the old-guard Hollywoodian, tho. I wonder what Kaye would've thought of the harder-eged Animals or The Kinks.
@MariAnKenobi True, but looks weren't everything back then. Folks actually liked talent in the 60's.
hes so cute and shy love the accent
Super classic -
Oh dear. The choreography ....
Thank you. Interesting.
Yeah, I think they would like her music still, but I see your point...Media sux they are always saying that women are too fat, and need to slim down all the time...If every girl got down to the weight of a English model, we would all look like heroin addicts. that is way too skinny for me. Remember Kira Knightly and the big deal about her breasts being altered on the cover of King Arthur? I would have been angry too. The media is too in everyone's face these days.
@sarafromnatick, we noticed that the dancers from Hullabaloo slimmed down considerably, by the end of the first season.
So true!
Peter Blair Dennis Bernard Noone! How's that for a memory? LOL. ;o)
Bieber looks like him. I love Peter! He's great and still cute!
What year is this?
what year? was this
What are those dancers on?
yellow shirt dancer is for real or
Dam! Look at those teeth! Peter Noone should have had braces back then!
He obviously had his teeth fixed later
i would be so nervous infront of danny kaye
The vocal mic is buried!!!! Why is Danny interrupting their song!! And he's Peter not Herman.
