My mother adored Sandler & Young. I knew them all too well. We had probably more of their albums than anyone else in the world. Levy and Short are geniuses.
Agreed. Carson was a distant second. Always heard Johnny was seriously jealous & petty towards Sammy. Sam was always the bigger man of the two as he never gave in to the barbs. Don't even get me started on the William B/Ed feud. That was plain ugly.
Sandler and Young sold millions of records, countless guest appearances on popular music shows and had a huge fan base. Tony Sandler performed for 60 years. It was a clean act with good entertainment. Tony is now 89 years old and enjoys a devoted following still though not performing. He speaks and sings in five languages. Both men treated their fans with class and style. All appearances I saw were well attended with enthusiastic applause.
@@nolagospeltracts8264 I was in Branson Missouri and saw Sandler and Young at the Jimmy Cracked Corn Pavilion. It was there special "Tribute to the 1970's" show. It was really great and the $25.00 cover charge and 2 drink minimum was worth every penny. They sang "Ladies of the Night," "Will You Respect Me in the Morning," "I'll be Pleasuring You Tonight," "She Needs It," "She's Hurting for a Squirting," "Honey Buns," "Coming Home," "She Does It," "Sinking My Bone," "Gusher in Her Gash," "Sleeping With Sally," "Take All of My Load," "Stroke Me Gently," and "A Handful of Love." I'm planning to Attend their 4th of July Show in September.
I love it how John Candy is playing Luciano Pavarotti imitating William B (another Candy character). "The laugh...the heeheehee". So funny. This was one of my fav SCTV moments, as was the episode where William B is hosting his own show.
This is funny because I've never heard of Sandler and Young in my entire life and I am 46 years old and love old movies and tv etc. lol I had to go look them up and wow....I didn't miss anything.
@@WytZox1 My late mother was a devoted viewer of Mike Douglas's show, and I remember fragments of it when it was on the air, from when I was a young boy (I'm from mid-'72), but I have no conscious familiarity with Sandler & Young. I wonder if Mom would have ever recalled seeing the real act on TV or not? Too bad I can't ask her now...
@@ModMokkaMatti ~> After Ralph Young retired Tony Sandler performed solo doing Maurice Chevalier tributes as part of his act. BUT Sandler & Young did great harmony together in their era. ☺
Sandler and Young - Eugene Levy and Martin Short, what a great duo. And the incomparable John Candy. I used to watch SCTV late at night on Sunday mornings at 1AM to 2:30AM in the late 70s - before DVR and we didn't even have a VCR yet back then.
Sandler and Young, I never could understand why they existed. They'd do the talk show and variety show circuits, I guess they did shows in Vegas, but I could never figure out who on earth enjoyed watching them. This was a great portrayal of them. One of the quirky things about SCTV is that they would go to the trouble to do a sendup of a marginal act like Sandler and Young.
Sandler and Young impression funny, but more hilarious when originally aired when irony was not an everyday thing. Eugene and Marty really captured the essence of those guys. Very strange, but great. You have to be old enough to appreciate this. Kinda difficult to have William B. when he was playing Luciano.
So I pull this giant wedge of Jarlsberg cheese out of the fridge. I immediately go into Luciano mode. My cheese. All mine. I don't care if it's the size of a suitcase. You can't have any. Thank you John Candy for that. I wouldn't have it any other way.
"Sure William B was dragging down the ratings but that doesn't matter he was a good guy" The William B Williams and Sandler and Young Show - Thursdays at 9
Recently listened to Gilbert Gottfried and Frank Santopadre's great podcast,which featured Tony Sandler.I remembered this feature from SCTV.As always, so brilliant
Lol! Looks like they should've been better prepared and had that stage floor reinforced for Luciano! John's Pavarotti impersonation is/was magnificent! His lip-synching to Pavarotti's vocal was spot-on,almost perfect!
Unfortunately this is the edited version that is presented on the DVD. When originally aired Sandler and Young sang The 59th Street Bridge Song (hilariously) but obviously, as with many other segments from the show (such as the Stairways to Heaven record commercial), there was a licensing issue. Bummer. Wish I had kept my worn out VHS copies of the show.
twothreebravo I was just about to say that was one of my favorite sketches from this show, and I've seen versions of it with and without a famous Disney song (I'm not even going to try to spell it.) Licensing is a pain in the arse.
I couldn't remember the names of these guys who used to come on the Ed Sullivan Show and sing 2 songs at once. Nobody knew what I was talking about! But it was these guys. Who else remembers? (Also Jack Douglas and Reiko - cringe!)
I soooo miss shows like this that relied on good writing and funny characters rather than filth and "We're better than everyone who doesn't agree with us" put-downs that masquerade as comedy.
OMG! This comment and it’s quote absolutely nailed it! Thank you for calling out the current culture so perfectly. Hooray SCTV, their entire cast and for owg59!
I kept thinking, God, those two guys from Ed Sullivan who sang two different songs at the same time! I thought I hallucinated them. I remember Johnny Pavarotti from the Godfather parody, and how he held the high C for about twenty-four bars like the character in the Bugs Bunny cartoon.
@filmnoir47 Agree 10,000%!! SCTV was silly fun for intelligent people, as opposed to SNL which is just plain silly and never has been consistently funny. I LOVED the Sammy Maudlin show and this skit is beyond hilarious!! And yes...R.I.P. John Candy (AKA William B. , Johnny LaRue and other greats!!)
Maudlin: ''Why don't you just leave?'' Young; ''We get that all the time.'' Brilliant. I'm old enough to have seen the real Sandler and Young on the Sullivan show numerous times. They were incredibly bland and boring and I never understood why Ed booked them. Maybe they appealed to old folks. Ed tried to please everyone.
I'll bet they based their Sandler and Young Impression off of the Ed Sullivan appearance: Sandler & Young "Put On A Happy Face, The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy), Frère & more"

Absolutely brilliant! SCTV ran rings around SNL and anything else that dared cross it's path. One of the greatest acting troops ever!
Troupe
@@kenshiroFNS troupes
This is STILL better than ANYTHING on TV today
it never gets old like when pavorotti fell through the floor Pricelesss that is Gold !
The fact that they would do a Sandler & Young impression and completely nail it - is amazing. I loved SCTV
Eugene Levy is spot-on with his Ralph Young impression... Martin Short's Sandler... not so much, but passable... Hilariously accurate.
th-cam.com/video/PQQUrwQ4cOw/w-d-xo.html
@@jptaylor YES! Levy nailed it!
I am so glad I grew up watching this.Priceless!
My mother adored Sandler & Young. I knew them all too well. We had probably more of their albums than anyone else in the world. Levy and Short are geniuses.
Levy & Short. Thanks for confirming that. First time I ever saw that bit. So much make up for such a strange bit.
Oh the Sammy Maudlin show was the BEST miss it so much
John Candy was just brilliant. So sad when he died, we lost a very funny man, a good actor and a very nice guy.
I love how tha Sammy Maudlin show is always in progress. And the schmaltzy set for Pavarotti's aria is perfect.
I never thought he d fall through the stage floor how great I was surprised LOL LOL LOL
"We can stay as long as you like"! "In that case why don't you just leave". Classic!
Sammy giving Luciano the William B treatment… brilliant!! Love this show so much.
I don't care what anyone says, Sammy Maudlin was the King of Late Night!
Agreed. Carson was a distant second.
Always heard Johnny was seriously jealous & petty towards Sammy. Sam was always the bigger man of the two as he never gave in to the barbs.
Don't even get me started on the William B/Ed feud. That was plain ugly.
Undisputed!!
“Whoa! Is it just my imagination or do those two cats bring everybody down?”
(The sound of thunderous applause)
Martin Short’s body language alone cracks me up. He’s a brilliant comic
The smattering of applause for Sandler and Young says it all.

@@superfly3990 Ha, ha! you had me going for a second there.
John Candy was a real pro. He learned the words to the aria so he could mime them properly. Who would bother now?
Such brilliant comedy. No foul language or snide putdowns, just good fun.
So funny. I once did three performances with Tony Sandler in 1986. High class guy. Great singer.
Love the smattering of applause for Sandler and Young

When William B comes out for the opening of his first show and falls into the light stand is classic
John Candy as Luciano Pavarotti is pure gold.
He brought down the -house- stage.
How i miss John Candy. SCTV was ahead of its time. Pure talent.
John is brilliant as Luciano
This is funny because I've never heard of Sandler and Young in my entire life and I am 46 years old and love old movies and tv etc. lol I had to go look them up and wow....I didn't miss anything.

Sandler and Young remind me of the current Tonight Show host and his guests.

Doing Sandler and Young was inspired. Fantastic documentation of middling talent.
They are actually not that bad.
Flaherty cracks me up, but just the name Sammy Maudlin makes me piss myself!
I like the party he attends, takes a bite out of a big turkey leg and tosses it, hitting a guy in the head and the guy drops!!!!! lol
I don't like how Sammy treated Sandler and Young. Not everyone can have the talent of a Bobby Bittman.
How are 'ya!!!
As a comic in all seriousness, I completely agree.
fjvideo LMAO
lol
Skip was the talented brother imo.
I loved this show when it was on TV .what a great cast they had on there. John Candy was my favorite but that said they all were really fun to watch.
If I had twice the talent and charisma as Sammy Maudlin someone might notice. He rocks like Charles Nelson Reilly!
How come we never see William B. and Pavarotti in the same place at the same time. Hmm...
And strange... Pavarotti has never been a guest in Johnny Larue's Penthouse... or even on Dr. Tongue's show.... hmmm...
Sammy eating the Provelone...Mangia Cake!! Outstanding!!
"I told them to build a stage for a full figured tenor!" LMAO
The short end of the pepperoni!!!! Ha ha ha!!! Hilarious!!
hahaha....John Candy really does look like Pavarotti!
IThinkWithMy Dick That’s....a lovely picture.
@@ericthatsme is that name inspired by the Jerky Boys?
Brilliant.Funniest show ever..way better than SNL ever was
Too bad William B. had to miss this show - he was a huge Pavarotti fan!
Was there any character John Candy couldn't play? He could make anyone, and I mean ANYONE smile.
John Candy once won a Boy George Look Alike contest.
Orson Welles was scheduled to appear along with Luciano but due to a Liberace ChristmasTurkey.... was unavailable for the Maudlin stuff
Recently listened to Gilbert Gottfried and Frank Santopadre's great podcast,which featured Tony Sandler.I remembered this feature from SCTV.As always, so brilliant
So true. How can you expect every act to possess the jaw dropping artistry of a Lola Heatherton or a Johnny LaRue?
Who are the two people who dislike this? Sandler and Young?
LOL!!
Mrs Sandler and Mrs Young… lol
Lol! Looks like they should've been better prepared and had that stage floor reinforced for Luciano! John's Pavarotti impersonation is/was magnificent! His lip-synching to Pavarotti's vocal was spot-on,almost perfect!
Hear Joe Flaherty is seriously ill - send him good thoughts - he was brilliant on SCTV esp. as Sammy Maudlin! We love you Joe
" we get that all the time Sammy"..LMAO
John Candy as Pavarotti... OMG he does him so perfect.
So fun. Grew up in Edmonton when these guys were filming.
Credits at end: "Mr Maudlin's Hairstyles courtesy of Richard Savoy "Crack Hairstylist of the Stars "
ROFLMAO!
Sandler and Young really Stunk Up the Sammy's show. Even their little Spinning Thing @1:56 Bombed Completely.
i just love the sammy maudlin show! sammy is a mega star in my book!he just needs to have a contracter come in and build better floors!
Martin and Ugene are a perfect comedy match.
I am so happy to find treasures like SCTV, Paul Scofield’s MacBeth, and the Firesign Theater on TH-cam!
The best late night show ever.
I remember Sandler and Young from the old Ed Sullivan Show, and they were always so weird, singing two different songs at the same time.
"No we get that all the time, Sammy."
And nobody loved the impression more then Pavarotti himself.
Unfortunately this is the edited version that is presented on the DVD. When originally aired Sandler and Young sang The 59th Street Bridge Song (hilariously) but obviously, as with many other segments from the show (such as the Stairways to Heaven record commercial), there was a licensing issue.

Hey Sammy! Keepa you hands off the provolone!....still the best!
The show needs 10 CCs of Bobby Bittman....stat! EDIT: John Candy really sings like Pavarotti.
Some nerve of Maudlin to ask for provolone, when Don Caballero himself got refused.

.....holy shit dude...or dudette. I just found out that there was an actual Sandler and Young and they where actually like that.
OMG! This comment and it’s quote absolutely nailed it! Thank you for calling out the current culture so perfectly. Hooray SCTV, their entire cast and for owg59!
Those cats brought me way down
It's funny how William B asked where's William B!
Sammy Maudlin for president of Melonville, or at least Pittsburgh.
Maybe West Mifflin?
Mayor would be more apropos.
These guys were the best😂
If you're going to make it in Hollywood, you've got to learn to fake sincerity.
"I told them to build a stage for a full figured tenor..."
Come home, William B!
The make-up people were unbeatable.
Candy is Pavarotti's doppleganger.
The provolone bit was also between Don Caballero & Johnny Pavarotti
“You guys, um...haven’t changed your act much, huh?”
Sadly enough this parody is funnier than any current late night show in 2018
Very true, but it was funnier than anything else at the time it aired, as well.
Still better than anything on presently.
That guy comment.
"Mangia Cake!". Candy was so Toronto. Gone too young.

OMG, Sandler and Young - another lifetime - and who was that guy who went on talk shows with his Japanese wife
+ferociousgumby You are referring to comedy writer Jack Douglas, and his wife, Reiko.
