He was so funny....I remember seeing him as a kid on TV....always a riot...so sorry to hear of his passing this year.....he made tons of us laugh over the years....
I love this interview with Rip Taylor, too bad there isn't more of them here on TH-cam or anywhere else maybe for that matter? It sounds as though he had a wonderful career and so many interesting life Experiences. Rest in peace , Rip Taylor, there well never be another you. Thank you for The laughs and joy you gave to me and so many millions of people. Rest easy, never forgotten.❤
Just got done watching a great interview, some humor some seriousness. Real life interview. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to Mr. Taylor for all the laughs.
The power of a good interview. Thank heavens for clips like this. Of course have been familiar with Rip Taylor for decades but always when he was on a show peforming, so never really paid all the much attention to him. Because of this interview you get to see THE PERSON not just the act and now he really intrigues me..Great stories. Hope he writes his memoirs. - Montreal, Canada
I love the host--he's a wonderful interviewer--why didn't I hear about him before? his offbeat style perfectly compliments Rip's off the wall, crazy humor!
Thank you, I enjoyed watching them chat. Rip is so charming. This clip is not the regular Rip Ciip that you would expect and if you pay attention, you will learn how to be a better performer. But remember we can never be Rip. Thank You Rip Taylor.
Martin Short just did mimicry of Brian Linehan City Lights (Toronto City TV) and Skip E. Lowe. His head was filled with so much American popular TV from the 50s and 60s that he just regurgitates into his characters.
Rip Taylor - when I first saw him I was probably in my teens, and I'm 62 (he was a regular on the Phyllis Diller Show in 1962 - and I thought he was the funniest, quickest comedian on TV. You had to pay attention, because he talked so fast you're almost laughing a joke behind.
I love this generation of “elder gays.” When I was a kid, it was people of this group that made up the elder statesman… and what role models they were! Classy, campy, funny, quick witted, with a gift for gab. What’s not to like?
Not knowing their mothers? I guess being an ethnic Catholic and very family oriented we didn’t have this type of distance. His mother put him in foster homes, my question is where was the rest of his relatives?
After listening to the story that Rip told about how Jackie Gleason treated him / fired him, I have lost TOTAL respect for Jackie Gleason. That was a very mean thing to do to Rip. Rip Taylor is one cool guy. I could NEVER watch anything that Jackie Gleason did ever again.
Who remembers the $1.98 Beauty Contest? So funny. The winning contestant would get a bunch of carrots with the greens atop (in lieu of a flower bouquet). And of course, confetti. I'm going to check TH-cam for episodes that aired late 70's, I believe.
I think Steve Martin must have been influenced by Rip ... two guys who could actually make me laugh instead of shake my head and grimace. Rip was flat out the best ... a hurricane comic. Made you ... forced you ... to forget all the negative stuff going on in the world.
Rip was great and seems to be a genuine, honest beautiful soul !! Skip E. is a pain in the ass most of the time !! Shut up and let the guest talk !! Marty Short took at least 50% of this guys shtick !!
My boyfriend watched this video and said that Paul Lynde stole some of his act. We did not know about how Rip got his start until now. I am also upset about Barbra Streisand doing that BS to him and stealing his act. No need to steal. I am glad he got his lawyers on it. I am a Barbra fan. She should be better than that. Especially as a fellow earth sign. She is Taurus. Rip is a Capricorn. The worst thing you can do to a Capricorn is to lie,cheat or steal. I am also a Capricorn.
Gary Williams actually he was probably one of the best. If you watch more of his interviews you will see that he has the ability to bring out anything from people. He's likable, he's personal, he's engaged. And gets the utmost respect from his interviewee's. He's right up there with Charlie rose. Check out his interview with Timothy leary.
@@aquarius4884 poor dear you must have led a sheltered life, open your eyes, it's very evident, though not evil nor perverse oh, I see it as two people having a conversation. That's the way everybody in this freaking world should see it; Two individuals having a conversation not an old woman not two gay men not anything with labels. Two individual people having a conversation. I hope you understand that now that I've told you. Do I have to repeat myself, or do you get it now? "Haters will hate" is the saying nowadays. Obviously you are one of them.

There's something charming about listening to these two Hollywood queens chatting with each other. Seems like a much missed bygone era now.
Can you imagine how many times those 4 holes have been penetrated.
Omg. This is a guilty pleasure. RIP taylor AND skip Lowe. It like two pounds of glitter. Such fun. Skip is most amusing interviewer
O
Now I know where Jimminy Glick came from!
I love Rip! He can cheer up anybody no matter how down they are and make them laugh!
What an amazing clip of a couple of amazing entertainers!
flamers....

I have met Rip he was a LOVELY man !

good point--good interviews illuminate careers for us! had no idea Rip had done all this--just thought he was a guest on Match Game!
RIP Mr Rip Taylor one of the funniest ever.
I worked with him in Lake Tahoe at Harrahs back in the 70s/80s… he was exactly the same off stage..he never turned it off…hysterical!
Oh how I loved him and I love him still making Jesus laugh in Heaven,Rest in peace dear Sir, Rip Taylor ❤️
Met him in 1985, I called him RipTorn, he corrected me with It's Taylor and threw confetti on me .. 😍
I love the host--he's a wonderful interviewer--why didn't I hear about him before? his offbeat style perfectly compliments Rip's off the wall, crazy humor!
The interviewer is a dude ?
Thank you, I enjoyed watching them chat. Rip is so charming. This clip is not the regular Rip Ciip that you would expect and if you pay attention, you will learn how to be a better performer. But remember we can never be Rip. Thank You Rip Taylor.
Wow rip was so entertaining. I wish I got to see more of him in flims
Sammy Labella (June 6, 1929 - September 22, 2014), better known by his stage name Skip E. Lowe, was an American talk show host and actor.
Rip was fantastic !
Skip has to be the inspiration for Jiminy Glick.
None no doubt. Rip Rip. 113
yes, he was.
BINGO....I laugh when he changes subjects every 12 seconds and could not follow a line of thought if his life depended on it....just brilliant!!!
@Rene Giovanni OMG Skip E IS Jiminy Glick....ha!!!
I literally just looked this up to compare the two
These are my people.
That wig is fantastic! R.i.P. Charles Rip Taylor fellow Capricorn. Loved you on $ 1.98 Beauty Pagenty. Also R.i.P. Skip E Lowe.
Rest In Peace Rip.
Rest in peace RIP
RIP Rip The world is not as funny now that you are gone.
I wholeheartedly agree, the world was a more interesting place with Rip Taylor in it.
RIP Rip.
Nice interview
That was great..
Jiminy Glick brought me here.
And Martin Short never gives this guy credit.
Yes he does. He said that he based his character Gimini Glick was based on Skip Lowe.
Same
Martin Short just did mimicry of Brian Linehan City Lights (Toronto City TV) and Skip E. Lowe.
His head was filled with so much American popular TV from the 50s and 60s that he just regurgitates into his characters.
Both of these elderly ladies are well worded and fancy
WONDERFUL !
For the most part Glick is inspired by Lowe however a bit of David Steinberg is in there too. Also Rip was awesome lol
Rip Taylor - when I first saw him I was probably in my teens, and I'm 62 (he was a regular on the Phyllis Diller Show in 1962 - and I thought he was the funniest, quickest comedian on TV. You had to pay attention, because he talked so fast you're almost laughing a joke behind.
A dark interview and Skip was great in this one!!
I love this generation of “elder gays.” When I was a kid, it was people of this group that made up the elder statesman… and what role models they were! Classy, campy, funny, quick witted, with a gift for gab. What’s not to like?
This man seems like a great interviewer have no idea why people would say otherwise.
When's Rip gonna find the right woman and settle down?
Oh, brother!
I would love for somebody to say that to him! That’s a good one Will. 👍
lmao 😃🤣😂😄😅😆
@EJSFilms2K Thank you, Captain Obvious. I am glad you're on it. Because most people confuse Rip Taylor for Tom Selleck.
@@heidihindley8374 and Tom Selleck confuses himself with Rip Taylor
Always laughed at Rip when I was a kid. The good old days of TV shows back in the sixties and seventies when they were not so profane.
My God they're BOTH Jiminy Glick at the same time. MARVELOUS !
This one should be called "Skip Meets His Match"
Rip Taylor is a national treasure. My favorite thing was when he was on Last Week Tonight offering to be Thailand's substitute Hitler.
I wish Rip would have gotten to act more in films like he wanted. That would have been hilarious.
I’ve officially put that Tshirt on my wish list if any of my friends are watching.
Where can I get one of those T shirts?
Not knowing their mothers? I guess being an ethnic Catholic and very family oriented we didn’t have this type of distance.
His mother put him in foster homes, my question is where was the rest of his relatives?
After listening to the story that Rip told about how Jackie Gleason treated him / fired him, I have lost TOTAL respect for Jackie Gleason. That was a very mean thing to do to Rip. Rip Taylor is one cool guy. I could NEVER watch anything that Jackie Gleason did ever again.
Gleason was known to be a bastard; especially when bombed-which was most of the time...
When was this terrific interview done?
The 90s !
Imagine how hurtfully devestating that was to this dear sweet man. I dislike alcohol for this
Last I saw the corner of 5th and Ocean there was a TGI Friday’s there.
FUN!!! 🎉
Who remembers the $1.98 Beauty Contest? So funny. The winning contestant would get a bunch of carrots with the greens atop (in lieu of a flower bouquet). And of course, confetti.
I'm going to check TH-cam for episodes that aired late 70's, I believe.
Mymymy...i heart
Sounds like Rip Taylor literally crawled and never gave up and worked himself to death to get were he got .
has anyone on here seen the movie "Things Are Tough All Over"? Cheech and Chong's Best movie ! Rip T. is in it. REALLY funny movie
Comedy 🎭 gold
I think Steve Martin must have been influenced by Rip ... two guys who could actually make me laugh instead of shake my head and grimace. Rip was flat out the best ... a hurricane comic. Made you ... forced you ... to forget all the negative stuff going on in the world.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the wonderful Vanilla Ice!"
Skip E was a one shot deal, original, odd, unique, aggravating, irritating, interesting..... there will never be another.
Check out jiminy glick
Thank goodness.
Hes great
I counted 6 qualities there. How could he be a "one shot deal" ???
So much flaming in this video my computer screen started to melt.
Fred *Travelena* ? Talk about an old reference.
So that's where Jiminy Glick came from. "Tell me about you.".
Wizard Glick brought me here.
Was Skip into confetti and toupees too?
Funny old gal
Rip Taylor was married??
Rip was great and seems to be a genuine, honest beautiful soul !! Skip E. is a pain in the ass most of the time !! Shut up and let the guest talk !! Marty Short took at least 50% of this guys shtick !!
Jiminy Glick's influence.
Skip is having a hard time getting a word in for a change.
Can you imagine all the broads these guys went through.
Rip was so funny. Too bad Gleason fired him
is this shirley williams?
I like the fact that Rip did not try to be funny. So many comedians try to make a joke when there isn't one and fall flat.
Skip E Lowe a study in masculinity!!
He was funny but he wasn’t so nice when my girlfriend and I said hi to him in Las Vegas.
Rip seemed like a nice guy. Paul Lynde was hysterical, too, but never seemed like a nice person
My boyfriend watched this video and said that Paul Lynde stole some of his act. We did not know about how Rip got his start until now. I am also upset about Barbra Streisand doing that BS to him and stealing his act. No need to steal. I am glad he got his lawyers on it. I am a Barbra fan. She should be better than that.

Dick Cavett was the only interviewer I liked.
no he's wonderful!! he's just way different!
I agree--he's very empathetic with a wonderful funny style that never overshadows his guests...kind of a wacky Merv Griffin!
@@teenherofilms Cavett? Timeless, always low key and likable.
Skip sounds more like a woman than me. wow. very effeminate
He's gay, don't you know?
That's a guy! 😲😲😲You've got to be fucking kidding! Holy shit! I thought it was an old woman!
