There's a great moment when SCTV won an Emmy Award in 1982, and as Joe Flaherty is trying to thank people, Berle is being condescending and, as always, unfunny, and at one point Joe says, sorry Uncle Milty, go to sleep. RIP to Pittsburgh's own Joe Flaherty.
I was a kid in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s. Milton Berle was often on TV during those years. Granted, much of his humor was adult in nature and over my head. But it was his leering expressions and snide remarks that gave me the creeps. I often wondered how adults could find Berle funny.
It was the early days of television, when the medium was still finding itself. However, that has come full circle as television has become overrun with no talent slops.
A Friend of mine worked at some of the hotels in Vegas. He says Frank Sinatra was the best celebrity he knew -- you could stop him in the hallway and ask a question and he would have a friendly conversation with you. Respected everyone and tipped well. Totally class act.
He also could be a jerk on occasion, but it was unusual. There’s a good Documentary about his life in Palm Springs. One time, he threw a plate of spaghetti on a wall in one of the local restaurants. But, in general he was awesome to everyone around him. A fighter for civil rights and generous to a fault. If you were in his house and admired one of his paintings, he’d take it off the wall and give it to you. His friends would avoid these kinds of interactions. It’s a shame that he left Palm Springs for Beverly Hills. He regretted that for the rest of his life.
Some of the these people on the list shock me, but at the same time, they do say ' Don't meet your heros!' I understand a responsibility to your fan base. As a kid, I'd probably be devastated if Lucille Ball, Faye Dunaway, or even Wesley Snipes treated me rudely but as an older adult, I'd have my shield up and active not expecting anything from said people. We also have to remember they are actors, the best of the best , and there's no guarantee they'll be awesome upon meeting!!😅
My mother catered an event that Sinatra attended after he finished his meal he went to the kitchen and spoke with my mom for about a half hour she was a huge fan and never forgot it
They should have added Diane Ross. I met her at the Flip Wilson Show. Being a teenager I asked for her autograph and she bit my head off!! Lilly Tomlin was the complete opposite...very sweet and friendly!!
@@ralphsiwundhla2232 Today, *"MISS ROSS"* would wish for someone to ask for her autograph. Celebs are THE oddest creatures! They go to amazing lengths to achieve the fame they have, and then cut down those who brought them that stardom. Joan Crawford, at least got it right. *"You expect me to ignore my fans? They are life and death to me, baby! They're the ones who really made me!"* (Mommie Dearest). Thankfully, there are celebs who appreciate that point. Author Stephen King appreciates his readers. He's a really personable guy, too, for someone who spent his career getting readers to empty our bladders into our undies, when things got seriously freaky!
I am in the Limousine business, and I can tell you many of these people are complete monsters. Bette Midler the meanest I have ever had the displeasure to drive
Who was the nicest you drove? I worked in Hollywood 35 yrs and the nicest I ever met were Lorne Green and Henry Winkler. The person most hated by fellow workers (including stars\actors) was- Danny Kaye.

I met Kiefer Sutherland on the set of “To End All Wars”…….super nice guy my husband worked background and said Kiefer never got mad at anyone but himself if a scene was messed up. He would play chess with the Background actors during breaks. Awesome guy! ❤
I remember Milton Berle from his tv show in the early 1950’s when I was a little kid. I hated him - he seemed like a real a**hole but my father loved him. So we watched him.
The iconic remark, "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" And, "YOU DON'T KNIW WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO!" Often accompanies narcissistic meglomaniacal personality change. I wouldn't last long in Hollywood. Don't take nonsense off anyone.
It makes you wonder, were they jerks BEFORE becoming famous and the fame amplified it? Or did fame make them jaded and unfeeling? Inquiring minds want to know. 😊
Meg Ryan really doesn't belong here. She was always well-liked on sets, and as far as "Proof of Life," her marriage to Quaid was over for years -- his substance abuse and alleged affairs were an open secret throughout the industry for years. Her fling with Crowe was her finally ending the marriage on her terms. Jim Carrey, Julia Roberts, and J. Lo's behaviors were much more legendary. Also, it's amusing that your narrator "speaks" "asterisk" and also mispronounces some names. You also include a lot of incorrect footage of actors not under discussion (Fred Astaire under Gene Kelly, Susan Sarandon under Faye Dunaway, etc.). And how can you discuss Roman Polanski being "wronged" so much without discussing his conviction as an actual sex offender upon a child?
Milton Berle got Jackie Gleason famous. Gleason would listen to Berele's jokes on radio and go do jokes at local clubs. Berle went to the town Gleason was living. He went to a venue there and requested to do a show in the club. He did a jokes for audition. The owner of the place told Berle that he heard the jokes already. A kid was here last night doing the same jokes
@0:21 That first picture of "Alfred Hitchcock" is Anthony Hopkins, who portrayed Hitch in a movie made in 2012, and @0:06 the narrator calls Alfred Hitchcock, a movie "star", really? Well, he certainly was a "star" director. He directed 53 films, and made cameos in about 40 of those films, usually at the very beginning of the picture.
Absolutely!(and pix of Susan Sarandon in the Faye Dunaway sequence!) I really wish someone would check these things before exposing them to the public!
The shark who played jaws in the film jaws kept biting everyone during lunch breaks. What a complete asterix. You would think someone would have put that asterixing asterix in his place. Just because you got fins and big teeth doesn't give you the right to be an asterixing bully.
That does not surprise me. It was only weeks after it came out in the press what a vile person she was, that I visited an elementary school that had posters with phrases like "Roseanne says... " And I thought oh that will not age well.
Uncle Milty was over rated, and likley over paid. I never found Milty funny at all, he was a bit shallow with a timing that was just a beat or so off, and predictably so. The one I found disappointing was Gene Kelly. I always loved him live and on the screen; really too bad.
Almost everyone who spent time with Milton Berle said he was horribly racist and sexist and he got worse as he aged. He was not fun to be around or work with by the end of his career. By all accounts Meg Ryan was a genuinely nice person who slowly degraded as Hollywood wore her down and abused her.
The robotic narration is hilarious when we get to Errol Flynn's movies: his first hit was "Asterisk Captain Blood Asterisk." Ha ha ha! (I don't know who would put asterisks around a movie title, but they sure as hell shouldn't be read out loud.) Who is the guy in the baseball cap who randomly appears while you're talking about William Frawley (7:16)? Also, it's funny that the robot calls Desi Arnez "Daisy." Your video wouldn't seem so stupid if you had a human narrator.
Puhleeze. It's all a lie. I'm sure Hitchcock would have loved to see that in print, but he wasn't that stupid. Hedron successfully avoided his many clumsy advances, but it wasn't pleasant for her .
@@lazur1 Yes. What was he complaining about? If he went on a tirade because some of the ice in the bucket was melting then yes, what a jerk. If it was because his room smelled like cigarettes and had dirty sheets and the hotel hemmed and hawed about correcting it, then that's something else.
@@user-tp6fo7im3d We’ll never know, but from personal experience, I can say that it doesn’t need to be as drastic as you described. I expect a customer right in front a staff member to take precedence over phone calls & other duties. When this isn’t handled that way, or not in a courteous way, the customer has every right to be irritated, & show it.
What was considered funny back in the day wouldn't even get a grin today. I've seen some of the old comedy routines where people are laughing their heads off and it's not funny.
There's a TH-cam bit by "Vsauce" where he reads some jokes from a collection in a book from 1907. It's unbelievable and scary how much and how fast we've changed.
If your talking about television much of the time "canned laughter" was used. Laughter would be edited in to make you understand that was supposed to be funny. Makes you wonder why they just didn't do funnier stuff but now I'm being snarky💖
@@BigMama61Laurel & Hardy were just silly enough for fans that laughed at slapstick but dry & subtle enough for others. Stan Laurel was absolutely brilliant.
@@user-bk2iy1hr2c I heard that Hedren made a lot of this up to sell her book/interviews. She could have walked away if it was that bad but fame is a drug and she wanted to be a star. The man is not around to defend himself so....
Frawley & Vance's "on-screen chemistry" was that of an irritable couple bickering all the time. It was enhanced by the fact that they truly disliked each other.
Also…. Alec Baldwin, Bette Davis, Charlie Sheen, Mariah Carey, Bill Nye, Diana Ross, William Shatner, Jodie Foster, Tiger Woods, Ellen DeGeneres, Harrison Ford, Wanda Sykes, George Carlin, Melissa McCarthy, Phil McGraw, Meredith Baxter, Will Smith, Chevy Chase, Jamie Foxx, Seth MacFarlane, Patton Oswalt, Shia LaBeouf, Russel Crowe, Seth Rogan, Mike Myers, Bill Skarsgard, and Michael Keaton. Too easy.
So what? He's still a great director. I love people who judge behavior from 50-60 years ago. 50 years from now, your great grandchildren will be judging you.
As a small child, Berle's show wasn't on TV anymore, but whenever he did a cameo or interview, he repulsed me. Years later l learned what a mean POS he was, according to those who had outlived him. Never liked Wm. Frawley either. Kids are good at sensing creeps.
Chaplin wasn't any different when it came to liking younger ladies. It was actually common back then. Chaplin was done wrong by the same mentality of Hollywood today. They raise you up to tear you down when something new comes along...the government did him worse. You couldn't have a difference pf option on war/wars...just look at all there's been....and how being against it causes hatred
If Hitchcook's personality was part of what it took to make the films he made, so be it. The only reason he wasn't charged for any of his crimes is because his victims valued their fame & fortune more than justice.
Milton Berle was scolded by Anthony Newly on the Mike Douglas show in the mid 70s for bragging about bedding Marilyn Monroe. I couldn't believe it until I looked it up once the Internet was available. She was truly stupid for giving him the opportunity. He didn't have the clout to open any doors for her.
You forgot W.C. Fields who hated working with children ( Baby LeRoy) and other children. Yes he had issues with alcoholism, which eventually took his life. In an interview W.C.said " children should be properly cooked" also despite all that was shown what could be worse than Jerry Lewis who disinherited his first family. In watching his show in 1957 Jerry is seen with Gary on his lap singing "Sonny Boy" the same way Danny( Jerry's Father) did with him. Anyway the point im making here is while singing the song with Gary on Jerry's lap you can see Jerry mouth " he's mine) in 1966 while a guest on Password he talks about love being built into the relationship. Now that none of them are kids anymore, all of that goes out the window. Animosity breaks out between Jerry's first wife and his only way to let out his anger was to disinherit his own family. VERY SAD ENDING. The mother (Patti) had to go to the grave with that!! You know with each actor or actress not getting along with their co- star or director makes this so trivial. At the end every goes home a jerk or hard to get along with, but just think a family disinherited that everyone has to live with that decision.
@@nealgordon3712There's a movie on TH-cam with Rod Steiger, W.C. Fields and me. I THINK it was a made for t.v. movie, but the language was pretty salty for a t.v. movie.
Considering how corrupt and vial the entertainment business actually is it is really a miracle that people survive it… . As for actors being jerks, well that’s “Show BUSINESS”! 😂🤣😅
This is why if i see a celebrity in the street I SAY NOTHING to them i just walking but some actors you can probably somehow sense that theyre nice off camera actors like TOM HANKS for example
Don't know about Connery. I met someone who had been on a transatlantic flight sitting next to Connery the entire trip. He claimed that Connery was a most down to earth pleasant fellow traveller who interacted with him the entire trip. They were just human.
Tippi Hedren is the only actress who complained about Hitchcock, even after he was dead. Somehow, with crappy reporting, that turned into him assaulting many actresses. Without other complaints from the hundreds of women he worked with, it is possible Hedren was seeking revenge for other issues with Hitchcock. Not saying she's necessarily lying, just not buying her story as fact.
Tobe Hooper, Meatloaf, Elvis, Julia Roberts, Jack Nicholson, Klaus Kinsky, Mel Gibson, Stanley Kubrick, O.J. Simpson, William Shatner, Joe Pesce and there's video online of tripping Rip Torn trying to kill another actor with a hammer
Read Flynn’s autobiography “My Wicked Wicked Life”. His adventures as a young man were a perfect training ground for his career as a swashbuckling actor! He lived hard & fast & burned out early. He was used up before he was out of his 50’s. What a life!
He was not perfect, but one of my favorite actors, what charm he had, and how handsome he was, hardly any actor today can beat him. I really liked him, his Robin Hood is a classic. R.I.P
Part of the problem, I think , is thatvonce these actors and actresses wete such jerks was because once they found a little success,not only did they get a huge ego,but they were put on pedestals and treated like royalty. When they realized they were highly sought after, they began demanding higher salaries, special treatment (and got it) , knowing the studios needed them for their shows and movies,so they thought/think they can behave as they pleased with no repercussions.

I’ll never understand how “Uncle Milty” became such a big star. I grew up watching him and always thought he was a no talent slob.

I think it had much to do with innately working the television system. He was really unappealing, but knew how to play to the audience of the day

It was the early days of television, when the medium was still finding itself. However, that has come full circle as television has become overrun with no talent slops.

For sure. What a jerk. And he was not that funny. The French loved him for some reason.
Told Hitchcock was sadistic.
Sick.
And a Womanizer.
So what? He's still a great director.
I love people who judge behavior from 50-60 years ago. 50 years from now, your great grandchildren will be judging you.
@@MichaelBoyce-tm2vw I think his thing was to look but not touch....
Sadism + power = dangerous!
These actors think they are above the law manners cost nothing there only people affter all
So says the asterisk.
Gene Kelly wasn't mean. He was a perfectionist and was just as hard on himself. And Debbie Reynolds was not a trained dancer.
As a small child, Berle's show wasn't on TV anymore, but whenever he did a cameo or interview, he repulsed me. Years later l learned what a mean POS he was, according to those who had outlived him.
Never liked Wm. Frawley either.
Kids are good at sensing creeps.
Why can NO ONE, NO ONE make videos without major mistakes or butchering pronunciations?
C'mon, don't you like Daisy Arnaz?😂
Because the voices are not from real people.
I came here to make the same comment! It's astonishing, isn't it.😮
Probably the only way to solve it is not to comment so they lose revenue.
Chaplin didn’t choose it but was forced to live outside the US. J Edgar Hoover had a lot to do with this.
It could have had to do with him liking younger women and girls.
Chaplin wasn't any different when it came to liking younger ladies. It was actually common back then.
Chaplin was done wrong by the same mentality of Hollywood today.
They raise you up to tear you down when something new comes along...the government did him worse. You couldn't have a difference pf option on war/wars...just look at all there's been....and how being against it causes hatred
You can say anything about a dead person! When no one's alive to defend them.
Frawley & his only wife divorced 1927. He never remarried the last 39yrs of his life. Smart women, or just lucky? Either way they dodged a bullet.
Errol Flynn's asterisk franchise was far better than his early starring roles in the ampersand series.
😂😂😂 brilliant!
I heard from a limousine driver that Oprah Winfrey told her to just drive. She just wanted to say she was a fan
@@markyamaguchi9571 Bet she's not anymore.
I'll never forget the first time I saw "Asterisk, Dodge City, Asterisk" 😂
If Hitchcook's personality was part of what it took to make the films he made, so be it. The only reason he wasn't charged for any of his crimes is because his victims valued their fame & fortune more than justice.
Not Tippy Hedron. She left Hollywood and became an animal activist.
“Hollywood BADLY PRESENTED”
Hitchcock was a director, not an actor. And the photo at (0:21) is NOT Hitchcock. Pretty sloppy and we’re not even 30 seconds in.
Well technically you could say he was an actor, he appeared in all his films.
Rumour has it that Tommy Lee Jones is quick with his hands as flar as domestic violence.
THANK you for passing that rumour on.
In my experience he will also slap you with words. Its ok I slapped him back with a few words of my own. Was fired though
He's long been accused of flar.
Actors treated like cattle is misunderstood, he ment he has to feed them, water them, and pen them up, it was like managing a herd of cattle.
Ohhhhh…well, that’s waaay better! 😂😂😂
Milton Berle was scolded by Anthony Newly on the Mike Douglas show in the mid 70s for bragging about bedding Marilyn Monroe. I couldn't believe it until I looked it up once the Internet was available. She was truly stupid for giving him the opportunity. He didn't have the clout to open any doors for her.
Maybe she just wanted to? Or more likely coerced?
You forgot W.C. Fields who hated working with children ( Baby LeRoy) and other children. Yes he had issues with alcoholism, which eventually took his life. In an interview W.C.said " children should be properly cooked" also despite all that was shown what could be worse than Jerry Lewis who disinherited his first family. In watching his show in 1957 Jerry is seen with Gary on his lap singing "Sonny Boy" the same way Danny( Jerry's Father) did with him. Anyway the point im making here is while singing the song with Gary on Jerry's lap you can see Jerry mouth " he's mine) in 1966 while a guest on Password he talks about love being built into the relationship. Now that none of them are kids anymore, all of that goes out the window. Animosity breaks out between Jerry's first wife and his only way to let out his anger was to disinherit his own family. VERY SAD ENDING. The mother (Patti) had to go to the grave with that!! You know with each actor or actress not getting along with their co- star or director makes this so trivial. At the end every goes home a jerk or hard to get along with, but just think a family disinherited that everyone has to live with that decision.
@@nealgordon3712There's a movie on TH-cam with Rod Steiger, W.C. Fields and me. I THINK it was a made for t.v. movie, but the language was pretty salty for a t.v. movie.
Money will buy immunity
Some people have skewed values. You can he both talented and decent to people.
In the cover photo, Uncle Miltie looks exactly like Howdy Doody.
Andy Dick should have topped this list.
At least he lives up( or 👇) to his name 😉
7:03 “Daisy” Arnaz? 😂😂😂
29:07 Steven “Seagull” 🤣🤣🤣
A.O. drinking game - take a drink whenever the narrator says " milti-faceted".
who da fuck is frank fay?.. never heard of him before…
Me either!!
? The narrator literally tells you who he was...derp
@@philwright2480 is he related to you?
female 'actors' used to be called actresses but then came the idea that men and women are equal.
I never liked chaplain I knew he was a bad person
I never liked him either and he wasn't funny.
@@mariorivas9535 he founded United Artists with Mary Pickford in 1922.
Considering how corrupt and vial the entertainment business actually is it is really a miracle that people survive it… . As for actors being jerks, well that’s “Show BUSINESS”! 😂🤣😅
"vile"
A-l!
Gene Kelly raised money for the Provisionial Irish Republican Army.
Yes, I think he had romantic ideals about the Irish....
This is why if i see a celebrity in the street I SAY NOTHING to them i just walking but some actors you can probably somehow sense that theyre nice off camera actors like TOM HANKS for example
But Not TOM CRUISE Or HARRISON FORD!
@richardkaltenbach3961 yeah I figure Harrison Ford is a little kinda MOODY PERSON I can sense it
Why do people like actors and actresses think they are better than anyone else? They end up at the bottom of the heap.
I'd never heard of Errol Flynn's asterisk movies...
The return of the asterisk is probably the best in the series
😂🤣😂
I prefer "Asterisk: Electric Bugaloo" 😊
@@vhagerty such a classic
His best movie is asterisk The Adventures of Robin Hood asterisk.
Don't know about Connery. I met someone who had been on a transatlantic flight sitting next to Connery the entire trip. He claimed that Connery was a most down to earth pleasant fellow traveller who interacted with him the entire trip. They were just human.
Unhappy childhoods
My mother knew Steve McQueen. While no one would ever deny he was competitive, he was definitely NOT a jerk! He does not belong on this list.
Jean isn't the man's name. Kelly was not so much a bully as a perfectionist whose choreography was painfully demanding.
That's it, in a nutshell.
Never could stand Berle.
7:00 Daisy Arnez ? WTF ?
Arnoz!!! That got me too!
Is there anyone more unbelievable than Patton Oswalt?
Agree! That dude just seems like a prick!
How about top 20 nice Hollywood people?
None exist.

When i was 6 or 7 hitchcock offered me his signature if my friend and i gave him all our firecrackers....hell no. Guess we were hellions to him.
I’m not enjoy these comedies. I’m not enjoyed the movies. One thing I never knew how hateful the actors was. That is a shame.
Tippi Hedren is the only actress who complained about Hitchcock, even after he was dead. Somehow, with crappy reporting, that turned into him assaulting many actresses. Without other complaints from the hundreds of women he worked with, it is possible Hedren was seeking revenge for other issues with Hitchcock. Not saying she's necessarily lying, just not buying her story as fact.
People love dirt.
Who’s Asterisk?
Obelisks leetle fren.
Cousin of Exclamation Mark
Asterisk is a big star! (Ba dum dum)😊
Tobe Hooper, Meatloaf, Elvis, Julia Roberts, Jack Nicholson, Klaus Kinsky, Mel Gibson, Stanley Kubrick, O.J. Simpson, William Shatner, Joe Pesce and there's video online of tripping Rip Torn trying to kill another actor with a hammer
Joe Pesci
Errol Flynn was a Tasmanian Devil 🤣
Read Flynn’s autobiography “My Wicked Wicked Life”. His adventures as a young man were a perfect training ground for his career as a swashbuckling actor! He lived hard & fast & burned out early. He was used up before he was out of his 50’s. What a life!
He was not perfect, but one of my favorite actors, what charm he had, and how handsome he was, hardly any actor today can beat him. I really liked him, his Robin Hood is a classic. R.I.P
Part of the problem, I think , is thatvonce these actors and actresses wete such jerks was because once they found a little success,not only did they get a huge ego,but they were put on pedestals and treated like royalty. When they realized they were highly sought after, they began demanding higher salaries, special treatment (and got it) , knowing the studios needed them for their shows and movies,so they thought/think they can behave as they pleased with no repercussions.
To be such a little word, ego has such an enormous impact on individuals.
20??? They’re all jerks these days.
Lucille Ball was so obnoxious an airline TWA banned her sent a letter telling her they didn't want her business
Steven Seagull : Flight of The Conchords !
😆😂
He's A Real Life POLICE OFFICER!
Some of them are products of their time. In 20yrs theyll say the same about actors of today. But the mommy dearest seems to be spot on with dunaway.
I never thought Ball was funny. Her daughter Luci said she was very controlling.
Tommy Lee Jones has zero range. Same character in every movie.
