Nothing like good ol' wholesome family entertainment from the 1960's.
thank you so much for posting this :) can you imagine doing this over 40,000 times. they must have truley loved performing together.
Wow! This is FANTASTIC! Thank you for sharing. I love this type of comedy that's just pure, innocent, creative talent. This is Disney at its best, before the greed and commercialization it is now. This type of talent needs to continue to be exposed...if it continues to exist.
Forty-nine years later I still find myself laughing out loud, watching these two perform.
Silly, funny, good old fashioned comedy, that doesn't need profanity or resort to demeaning others to be humorous.
Watching those parents laughing in the background, I realized that they were our parents, seeing those children in the audience having the time of their lives, I realized that, that was us many years ago, innocence personified.
Wally Boag and Betty Taylor are in a class all by themselves.
I met Wally Boag back in 2005 when he performed at the 50th anniversary party of Disneyland for the Disneyland Alumni club and he did his old routines and balloon animals and even his classic teeth spitting/falling out routine. Such a true original act. Won't be another one like him, RIP Wally
Wally was a distant cousin of mine, and every year at our big Easter picnic he would play the bagpipes and make baloon animals. He was a true clown (meant in a good way) that always had his sense of humor turned on. If you hear laughing from the heavens, it's because Wally just arrived.
yes, this is The Golden Horseshoe Revue. They performed it at least twice a day. All of it. My Dad used to work at Disneyland, one of his many jobs over the years was stage managing this very show. In fact the cast and crew took this show and performed it at The Whute House for President Nixon. At the time it was a great honor.
@shanteezi008 You're very welcome. Betty Taylor continued performing for five years after Wally Boag retired in 1982. Her show count was closer to 45,000. Simply amazing.
Statler: You know that Wally Boag was a multi-millionaire.
Waldorf: Where did he get his money from?
Statler: The Tooth Fairy.
R.I.P. Betty Taylor and Wally Boag. You are lucky because you are in better place to escape from our dark world.
@LewKaplanski The original Golden Horseshoe Revue show ran about a half hour. For its 10,000th performance, it was expanded to fill a one-hour TV time slot on "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color." The bar brawl you saw was added specifically for the broadcast, as were musical numbers by Annette Funicello & a duet between Betty Taylor and comedian Ed Wynn. If you can still find a copy, the complete broadcast is included on the Walt Disney Treasures DVD "Disneyland: Secrets, Stories & Magic."
I didn't think the bar brawl was part of the original show. That would have been a lot of glass and double basses to break. And you know very well that the booths on each side of the stage were filled by Disney "cast members."
- Absolutely Wonderful ! thank goodness for youtube to be able to see such great performers
Fifteen Love!
As a child in the fifties I saw The Golden Horseshoe every time we went to Disneyland. I must have gone 20 times. But Wally Boag was always the highlight. Oh he made me laugh.
@667mumble I've seen pictures of that event. Wish I could've been there. How lucky you were able to go.
Many gems lost.
@UNDERGROUND2000 Funny you should mention Donald O'Connor. He and Wally met in Portland in 1939 when Wally was looking for his first big break. O'Connor and his brothers made up a dance team that was appearing in the area. At O'Connor's suggestion, Wally auditioned for a Hollywood agent touring the Northwest looking for talent. Wally impressed the agent and was soon on his way to Hollywood. As they say, the rest is history.
@UNDERGROUND2000 And, 32 years later, Wally and O'Connor performed together at the Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World.
I love Disney
@fromthesidelines Martin often cites Boag as his biggest influence when he was a young comedian. Over the years, they became good friends and Martin even wrote a foreword for Boag's memoir "The Clown Prince of Disneyland."
Wow, imagine that.
Dying within one day of one another.
One comment-
Why don't they do this stuff in the Horseshoe today?!!
Probably don't have the Talent for it anymore.
+Snow Sparrow Because people are so petrified from anti-gun propaganda that they'd have to give all the kids therapy afterwards.
2:46 anybody count to 32, Bill's teeth
I'm sure there was more than that...
reminds me of the comedic mexican character, quico from El Chavo del Ocho
When you get to heaven and you're settled in there....May you dine with Mr. Disney and dance with Fred Astaire.
@JeffLangeDVD So sad that they died one day apart. I just posted a new Betty Taylor clip. You can view it on my channel home page.
Wally Boag Is Back To Play Josè
When Steve Martin worked at Disneyland in the '60s, Wally taught him how to create "balloon animals", which Steve often used in his performances during the '70s.
I saw them get their picture taken together in 2005 at Disneyland not far from the magic shop.
I've always wondered what did he use for teeth in this gag?
In an interview he said they were lima beans.
Did they for real throw each other into the audience members?
classic...simpler times...kids even look more polite in the audience...he looks a bit like donald oconnor
@667mumble Pinto beans.
I don't know, just kinda creepy.
