Margret Hamilton aka the Wicked Witch of the West, a great actor and also a great human being. Judy Garland said that the only person who really cared about her on the set of the Wizard of Oz was Margret Hamilton!
@@robertbishop5357 Research into the making of the movie, informed by even deeper research done by Oz and Judy Garland historians. Three excellent books I always recommend are "The Making of The Wizard of Oz" (1977) by Aljean Harmetz, "The Wizard of Oz: The Official 50th Anniversary Pictorial History" (1989) by John Fricke, Jay Scarfone, and William Stillman, and "The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece" (2019) by Scarfone and Stillman.
@@MaskedMan66 well you didn't do your research very well because Judy claims to have gotten slapped by the director of the movie and she made it very clear that they monitored her weight and tried to get her not to eat and overall she was mistreated completely by the producers and people on the side so you're wrong wrong wrong
This show came on and I was just shy of my 12th birthday. I will never forget how much of an impact it had on me. All these incredible and talented actors and actresses in one show and KISS as a bonus. It didn't get better than this what memories of yesteryear!!
I had turned 12 the previous month! Loved this special. And although I seen KISS previously on the Mike Douglas Show and the Midnight Special, it was their appearance on this special that solidified me as as lifelong diehard fan of theirs.😎 Much to the dismay of my parents.
Man did I love Billie Hayes.....she also did a one shot appearance on Bewitched. TH-cam also has footage of her dancing in what I believe is the mid 50s. She could really dance well.
I don't feel bad for the wicked witch of the West no she's the one you had to come in exactly dorothi'm aint exactly Dorothy just wants to go home and yet she treated her like this she had no control of her own house landing on her is outstanding on Earth I'm cleaning this folder not to give for the shoes if you ask me who waited which deserved everything she got
I just watched the entire 51 minutes on Amazon Prime. it was like a car crash I couldn't stop watching it... it was horrible and wonderful. I was 13 in 1976. so I'm sure I saw this when it originally aired!!!
This is hilarious! So many great comedians in one room 😁 R.I.P. Billie "Witchiepoo" Hayes, who died April 29, 2021 For Margaret Hamilton fans, she does a nod to her Wicked Witch role at the end of the 1960 version of "13 Ghosts"
This was awesome! What a great ensemble-whoever cast this was a genius. RIP Billy, Billie, Paul and Margaret-you were all so talented and will always be in our hearts💐 Betty, girl, keep on going cuz we 💗 u.
I am a big fan of Paul Lynde and loved his show and the other shows he was on too ! He made my depression much better ! He made me laugh still laugh and now he died in 1982 sad to say !
Ha me too! Same age!! 13 when this originally aired. The amount of Bazaar cast members in this is crazy. And KISS?!?! Oh wait this is just a clip. you've got to find the entire 51 minutes on Amazon Prime
I just realized this is just a short clip. the entire episode is on Amazon Prime!! A Must see! KISS is the musical guest!!! and Florence Henderson literally makes out with Paul. Also featuring Tim Conway, Roz "Pinky Tuscadero", Betty White, also featuring Donny and Marie and a bunch of dancers. holy crap this was a freak Show of awesome proportions.
I was 10 yrs old in the 4th grade when I saw this special. I didn't know at the time I saw it the first time that this would be a classic. One of my favorite classics from yester year. Brings back memories, great memories.
I was born in 1978. I first saw a rerun of this in 1983! I love it! It has actress Margaret Hamilton who portrayed The Wicked Witch of the West from my favorite movie of all time the beloved, excellent, fantastic, magnificent and wonderful MGM classic 1939 fantasy musical movie The Wizard of Oz! It also has the very pretty and versatile actress Billie Hayes who portrayed Witchepoo in the classic Sid and Marty Krofft 1969 television show H.R. Pufnstuf and the genie in the classic 1971 Sid and Marty Krofft television show Lidsville. It also has the beloved, beautiful and wonderful actress Betty White and of course the very funny and handsome actor Paul Lynde. Thank you for posting and sharing this!
else., what an honor to see all four great actors. Billie hayes just passed at 96 years old in 2021. Margaret Hamilton and paul lynn are gone and betty white still living at 99. Rest in peace Billie, Margaret and paul.
This is right up there with the _Star Wars Holiday Special._ It's amazing what several metric tons of coke could create on network television back in the 1970s.
I missed this in 1976. . . The skit was hilarious; particularly Margaret Hamilton's spoof of the wicked witch of the west. How all of them stayed in character is beyond me.
wpl I met Mr Barty and asked him about the Wizard of Oz. He said he wasn't in it because he was too young. He had some great stories about the movie "Willow" though.
I just had to look it up cuz I was curious. Correct Billy Barty was NOT in The Wizard of Oz.. he was only 15 in 1939 and MGM required that all actors be 18 so they could keep them longer hours..
Loved Billie Hayes aka Witchiepoo, she was marvelous ❤. Margaret Hamilton aka Wicked Witch of the West, brilliant in Wizard of Oz. Have them both on the same show ,very clever 👏 👌 👍 😀 😄 🧙♀️🧙♀️ They were the best.
I want to go back and do it all over ....The 70’s and 80’s were my decades and they were the best years of my life. America was absolutely a different place back then. It was still a treat then to get 25 cents from mom and walk uptown to the gas station to get a Coca-Cola or Pepsi or to the ice cream shop and get a CMP ice cream. We truly did not lock our doors and stayed out till after dark with our bikes and on Halloween we all went trick-or-treating without our parents when we got older at night in the cold and it was great fun.. In the summer we played outside all day and all night, The only way my mom got us home to eat was a big brass bell she had outside the sliding glass doors that she would ring to get our attention to come home for dinner. I remember wonderful 4th of July celebrations going on picnics and then mom took us to the ball park and we laid on blankets to watch the fireworks. And of course Christmas and even though it was tuff for my mom raising us she always made sure we had a great holiday . Even Easter was special in America back then... as we got older we started to go see the movies and we really did have the best movies. Jaws, Close Encounters, , Raiders of the lost Ark, James bond, Star Wars, Star Trek, Aliens, Predator, planet of the apes, E.T, The terminator, The goonies, Friday the 13th, Batman, Back to the future . ...To name a few.....The TV show line up on the networks were fabulous ( this was before you got 500 channels like you do today and still nothing on is good) we had Dallas, knots Landing, Falcon crest, little house, The Waltons (No not the store that destroyed America). And every night of the week a network would compete and have for example, Monday night at the movies! Tuesday night at the movies ! and they would show a major movie release. We had real holidays were we all got together and enjoyed each other’s company. We ate dinner every night together and talked not shouted at each other. We had great stores that are all but gone now in 2023 and great movie theaters and of course the MALLS! It was not the 80’s without a Mall. My very first few jobs were at the mall. First Macdonald’s and then The Gap!. Yes sir those days were GREAT! and we were very lucky to have lived them .... today I don’t even see kids outside and everyone is in fear for safety from crazy people.... I don’t recognize America now..God Bless us all ! (If you can even say that anymore).
This show had all of the right elements in it! You got Betty, Billie, Margaret, and KISS. This is like a piece of history.
Margaret Hamilton was also a kindergarten teacher who absolutely adored children 💕
She is a treasure
Right! She even lived on Gilbert St. in my Hometown of Framingham,MA.
@@stebaer that's awesome Stephen!
I read somewhere that Judy Garland said she was the absolute nicest person on the whole set of The wizard of Oz.
@@crimesforkibble6912 same with billie hayes she loved kids and animals and us fans
R.I.P. Billie Hayes of whom I just found out yesterday passed at 96 years old on April 29,2021.
so billie got the torch passed by marget and i believe billie passed it to idna aka ella who did it for wicked.

Wow! I loved her. RIP BILLIE 💕❤️
@Stephen Qualio i didn't know that so she did some voice work even for the kids now she never forgot any generation. :)
:-(
I remember this show. I saw it once and never saw it again 😞. All these wonderful people are gone. R I P , it's so sad to lose all the greats.
Margret Hamilton aka the Wicked Witch of the West, a great actor and also a great human being. Judy Garland said that the only person who really cared about her on the set of the Wizard of Oz was Margret Hamilton!
She was sweet. She went on Mr Rogers to explain to kids she pretends to be a witch, they shouldn't be afraid.
Judy never said that, because she got along with everyone on that movie.

Two of the greatest witches in history. RIP to both these great ladies.
Witchy poo was on an episode of bewitched as well, she kidnapped Tabitha
Even after 63 years marget Hamilton can still do the wicked witch of the west extremely good. That's true dedication there.
This was 1976 so it was 37 years after the Wizard of Oz. Or did you mean she was 63 years old there?
greatunz67 The latter.
I thought Billy Haynes sound better....
@@greatunz67 She was born in 1902, so she's 73 or 74 in this.

Uncle Arthur, Witchiepoo and the Wicked Witch of the West all appearing together..priceless.
Stansman63 That's right, Uncle Arthur. Nice! That almost slipped right by me. Endora would have made a nice third witch.
Girl don't forget Betty White.
and Don't Forget The Golden Girl Happy HomeMaker Betty White
Betty white and Billy barty to boot
Amazing!!!!!! Magic. 3 Divas
We lost Billie Hayes, who played Witchiepoo in H.R. Pufnstuf and in this Paul Lynde Halloween Special clip on April 29th, 2021. RIP Billie Hayes.

OMG Betty White! I wasn’t expecting her. Billy Hayes was so hilarious as Witchiepoo! I loved her so much in Pufnstuf!
How fun! Blessed be their memories! Love the reference to being a guest star on Donny and Marie, one of my favorite shows back then!
Wow, Betty White has done everything.

What an awesome cast of character actors. Love this sketch 💜 💕
Gilbert Gottfried's impression of Paul Lynde is one of the greatest of all time!!!
Infinity War stood ZERO chance of being the most ambitious crossover ever! This is the most ambitious crossover ever!
Agreed.
Now there was a quad of superb actors - each with their own unique qualities - RIP, all.
Rest In Peace !!!!! Miss Billie Hayes,you'll never be forgotten.
She is an icon in New York because of her charity work.
Loved all three of them! They are gone but not forgotten!
Omg Maragaret Hamilton and Betty White 😍😲😳
SORRY. MY KEYBOARD IS SORT OF TRASHED I MEANT TO TYPE A QUESTION MARK AND OH PEARLS I AM IN CAPS NO damnsorry
RIGHT?!?!?! I'm so happy I saw this.
For many kiss fans this was our Ed Sullivan moment first time seeing kiss perform on TV.
I am amazed that I did not see this back then on television. Paul Lynn was a great comedian.
Lynde.
He was so funny and quick on Hollywood Squares !
You also remember his name being Paul Lynn,in the current "reality" his name has always been Paul Lynde, a definate Mandela Effect.
Rest in Peace, dear Billie.
I was born in 1977 and this is the first time I've seen this. That was Great ! Loved the Betty White cameo !
I was born in 69. I saw this is in 76.
75 here first time today. Thank God for antenna t.v
RIP Billie Hayes what an icon
*edit* and Margret Hamilton and Betty White and Paul Lynn so many icons in one room!!!
This was awesome! What a great ensemble-whoever cast this was a genius. RIP Billy, Billie, Paul and Margaret-you were all so talented and will always be in our hearts💐 Betty, girl, keep on going cuz we 💗 u.
She went from the Wicked Witch of the west to the Folgers lady. God bless her.
I am a big fan of Paul Lynde and loved his show and the other shows he was on too ! He made my depression much better ! He made me laugh still laugh and now he died in 1982 sad to say !

Same. This generation was something 👍:)
R.i.p Billie hayes thanks for being a good part of my childhood and adulthood.
I watch this every Halloween!!

This and David S. Pumpkins.

Paul Lynde. Margaret Hamilton. Billie Hayes.
Three of the best onscreen witches ever.
Looks like all the actors are having a blast and have good chemistry. Must have been fun.

Wonderful episode. Margaret Hamilton was a superb character actress, who never quite lived down her role as the Wicked Witch in "TWOO".
How could anybody live that down? She was outstanding. Stole the show even though her appearances totalled only a few minutes.
R.I.P.: Paul Lynde and Margaret Hamilton 😢
Wow, total flashback. I recall the band Kiss played on this or were on tv after it ended. Damm 1976, what a great summer to be a kid.

billie is with billy and all her friends she worked with since i check that the original cast of pufnstuf is gone now
They need to air this in October !!!!
And Margaret Hamilton could still pull this off in the 70s. "She asked for it! And her little dog too!"
"margaret...your sister is a witch."
Quite a twist, huh? lol
Yes That's what made it funny after he said that then she turned into one too as her old time Wicket Witch of the West role.
OMG, the 1970s. But in all honesty, I was 6 when this aired and probably watched every second of it.

Never saw this before.. quite entertaining.. they don't have stars like this anymore. There aren't any stars anymore.
this is brilliant
I saw Kiss on this when I was 7. Changed me forever.
For the worse.
Mr. Lynda you were an excellent actor/comedian.
I was a little kid when this aired. I believe that KISS was also on this program
Witchiepoo and wicked witch of the west the best
Seeing the two most famous entertainment witches together on TV--great! Don't know how I missed this one back in the day...
Not sure why this popped up on my feed but needed a funny memory from my childhood. Thanks!
This clip is so great. Margaret Hamilton was an amazing woman with a great sense of humor! They are no longer with us, But they live on in film.
amazing cast in that skit! WOW!
I would always watch HR Puff n Stuff on Saturday mornings. I did not realize she just passed away. So sad. Rest In Peace Billie....
The Witch put a spell on me with her house band. Changed my life forever.
Kinda expected Lurch to open the door.
She asked for it, and her little dog, too😂😂😂😂
Yeah we know we watch the video
I never knew where my mother got witchipoo as a child. now I know it’s taken 45 years 😂
Too bad we can't get family-friendly shows with celebrities like this anymore.
This is right up there with the _Star Wars Holiday Special._ It's amazing what several metric tons of coke could create on network television back in the 1970s.

It old but always enjoyable.
Rest in peace Billie Haynes.👍🏻
