George Carl was my uncle (my Dad's brother). He used to stop by and stay at our house in Mineral Ridge, Ohio to visit my father and also his mother who lived next door many years ago in the 1960s. He always had funny stories to tell from his travels and experiences. One visit he gave me the big thumb his used in his act. I played with it so much that I destroyed it. I wish I had taken care of it, but I was only 8 or 9 years old at the time.
I saw this when it first aired. Been looking for it for a long time, but I didn't remember his name. Another video of his just came up in my recommendations, I recognized him as the same guy, and searched his name. Found this! Thank you so much.
Back in the early-mid 1990s he still appeared for a month every second to third year in the Copenhagen Tivoli Gardens. He performed an extended 10-12 minute version as part of the open-air stage shows every night - and it was always a big hit with the crowds. Sadly, I don't think there are any videos of the long version, as the Tivoli Gardens strictly enforced the 'no filming' policy.
@@ECT52 I watched a mime act on youtube and I remember seeing the guy doing the same act in the 80.s. Not only that but a younger guy was doing the very same act now.
I will never forget this night. I came home from a Boston concert, with my sister and brother in law. We were so stoned out. My sister turned the TV on and this dude just happened to start his bit. We still talk about how hard we laughed at this, especially the drums/dancing, in the beginning, LOLOLOL
I just saw him on a Carson show rerun - a different performance. So he was understandably worthy of a return. The most entertaining comedic, object manipulators are those who appear to be losing it. George Carl is a master. Thank you for making his work available.
The first time I saw this man (back in the late 60s I think) I was helpless with laughter, barely able to breathe. I've just done a repeat performance watching this video. The guy is so clever the way he can get tangled up in everything from his own braces to the mic and sometimes his own assistant. I mustn't watch this too much or I'll die laughing!
We watched this live, I wish the recording was at least 15 seconds longer. CARSON came out of his seat, RAN, I MEAN RAN across the Stage and shook his hand. CARSON LOVED IT and so did everyone else, all you DOWN THUMBERS DON'T GET IT. George Carl was GREAT.
Yes, I have a copy of Funny Bones. An outstanding film. George Carl is guest star in it. I personally believe though, with respect to all, that Lee Evans stole the show. Quite some feat with the other stars he featured with.
i saw the same show last night, i remember seeing him when i was a kid on ed sullivan, never new his name, but that show last night i really did laugh my ass off....funny stuff and a real art.
OMG - i haven't seen an act like this since i was a kid - eons ago. this guy is really, really fantastic - a comedic Marcel Marceau. boy we had some good stuff back when that we do not at have now. why did this kind of comedy die out? like Sid Caesar and his gang. . . anyone remember from Ed Sullivan: "S'Alright?" Alright, box closes." a Spanish ventriloquist - oh yes, Señor Wences. here he is on The Ed Sullivan Show! th-cam.com/video/uEio4rQDU5A/w-d-xo.html

He is 70 years old in this clip, and in total control, incredible performer!
70. amazing
Does he do the same act all the time?
@@zarrow50 it's his signature act for sure.

Cierto. Este espectáculo lo realizó 14 años antes de morir.
Absolutely wonderful!
Thank you, George Carl.
My dad and I watched this!
I saw this man many years ago and I could barely breath laughing at him, still laughing at such a funny entertainer, miss him. ❤

Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!
I saw this act on tv when I was very young. I searched for this for over 30 years. thank you for posting
What a talented man now that's real variety entertainment why is TV today rubbish compared to those days RIP George Carl

Same I was, the same night this aired. I don't think I've ever laughed harder, since. LOL.
Loved watching George Carl when I was a teenager in the 60s, brilliantly funny man.😂
In a class of his own.
totally unique.
What a fantastic funny man sadly all that variety as gone we are now stuck with the likes of the voice and x factor for entertainment yuk
Great!
The clown is the pure art and the whole mess of life.
Very beautiful! I loved!!!
After the act M. Carl relaxed with a double espresso.

He was a brilliant and funny performer
What an entertainer!
Non ti avevo mai visto sei immenso. T.v.b. Giuliano da genova ❤❤❤
Found this guy googling my own name. Soo good.
Were you missing yourself?
Thanks for this... He was in the movie "Funny Bones" with Lee Evans, Jerry Lewis, Freddy Davies... It was a strangely inspired film about comedy...
i remember hearing about that film - i'd love to see it. and this guy is really hilarious :}

@@terrycharnley A truly remarkable film. I have watched this film more times, about a dozen, than any other. It never fails to delight.
Nel 1987 fu ospite di Fantastico...risate fino alle lacrime!!!
One of the best!
Just saw this on an old Johnny Carson show on ANTENNA TV.......I'm pretty sure others have tried to imitate him...but I can't remember who they are
i saw the same show last night, i remember seeing him when i was a kid on ed sullivan, never new his name, but that show last night i really did laugh my ass off....funny stuff and a real art.

I first saw his work in the movie Funny Bones.
INCREDIBLE "OLD MAN" !!!! :-)
THE BEST!!!!!
SEVENTY!!!??? Good for him! Immaculate physical comedy, genius!!! May he make the angels cry with laughter forever!

Real Vaudevillian !

Genius 🙌🙌
....did you hear that kids, not even one swear word!!!......and what an exit, especially at his age..
yeah, i really miss this kind of humor - not to use swear words takes a lot more talent :}
Artista.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Como é bom descobrir um gênio do passado !
Un génie.👍👍
That was fun!
Real comedian OMG
I see now where did Kramer come from
now THAT’s comedy y’all!
Waw
As good as this was if it was on bgt today it'd get 4 ❌❌❌❌ which just goes to show how far we've dropped in the comedy world 😳
👏
Genioo
Watch the Railrodder. Buster Keaton's last film. He made it a good one.
Ótimo!
COLEY FOLEY NEVER: SAW THIS FUCKIN GUY BEFORE... (BUT THIS MUST BE WHERE FUCKIN "POPPIN" IN "BREAKDANCING" CAME FROM... HAHAHA!)
C'est pas possible, il faut le voir pour le croire un tel numéro
I'm sorry to say, they don't make them like George anymore. He's the best but unfortunately from an analog time. Today quality doesn't count anymore.
smart man pretend to look stupid.
rip mr carl.
Over 50 years always the same shit.
I saw this act on tv when I was very young. I searched for this for over 30 years. thank you for posting
Me too !
