- this is a clip from The Danny Kaye Show, a hillbilly sketch with Danny Kaye,Buddy Ebsen,Howard Morris and Harvey Korman. Howard Morris gave me a copy of this years ago, he enjoyed doing this sketch but didn't like working with Danny Kaye at all.February 26, 1964
😆😆😆😆😆 back in the days when comedians didn't have to use 4 letter words to be funny.
People used plenty of four letter words, they just did it in live shows.
Buddy Hackett was known for having an exceptionally foul-mouthed stand-up act in the Catskills.
@@markrhodes1717
I'm sure that, Helen meant on television in those days. Everyone knows that four letter words have been around since humans lived in caves.😊
But it was ok to ridicule an entire class of people
@AldousHuxleysCat
That class of people's as you call it " had morality" had spiritual upbringing and integrity...And Church and family was their bond"
The family shows promote unnassary Vulgar family situations and absolutely no
Family Value.......
@@miltonhollis703 I don't think you understood what I said, and considering how you spell unnecessary I'm not going to bother trying to explain it to you let's just say your analysis could not be further from what I would intended
Howard Morris, Danny Kaye, Buddy Ebsen AND Harvey Korman. What a combo!
I miss the Beverly Hillbillies and Carol Burnett 📺Show with Harvey
Greatness
When Danny Kaye ended his show in 1967,Carol Burnett asked him to be a regular performer on her show, which began that fall.The rest is history.
@@erinmeggik391I hope variety shows make a comeback.
@@erinmeggik391 Pluto TV app runs both shows and many more classics…Free! I cancelled cable several years ago and don’t miss it at all.
Pure unadulterated fun, and as the last person said not vulgar or swearing needed , these folks were the real true comedians
For those who don't know, from the earliest part of his career, Buddy Ebsen made his way in Hollywood as a DANCER. His most well-remembered number in his youth was probably sharing a step or two with Sherley Temple in "Captain January" in 1936 before a make-up allergy forced him out of "The Wizzard of Oz" in 1938.
There are some of us that would rather research on our own. You can safely assume no one else cares.
nobody knew this cause there was no dancing in the wizard of oz
That Captain January dance number is my absolute favourite Shirley moment.
@@perry92964 Ray Bolger as the Scarecrow and Jack Haley as the Tin Man both had dance sequences.
@@bobf9749 i know its sarcasm sadly buddy who was cast as the tin man had to back out cause he had a bad reaction to the make up but i still see him in the part
Buddy Ebsen almost loses it several times.
What a talented group of men.
No, Buddy did lose it, but he recovered as fast as only an old time vaudeville (show must go on) Pro can do. Chuckle a time or two and VHOOM! Right back to his lines.
Harvey went on to follow that tradition on Carol Burnett.
That's what is so awesome about this era of actors- like the Carol Burnett Show.some of the funniest stuff was when they " lost it" lolol
How have I missed this all my life?!😮😂
Pure brilliance. Howard Morris was so incredibly underrated. He and Danny (whether or not they liked working together) are comedic gold. Great sketch!
Ernest T. Bass on the Andy Griffith Show. Classic role.
Howard Morris would also play the role of Ernest T. Bass on the Andy Griffith Show. You can see that character in this performance by Morris.
He was also the voice of Gopher in the Winnie the Pooh cartoons. 😁
Jed Clampett meets Ernest T. Bass
Crossover.
I’m so thrilled! I never knew this existed 😊
A lot of people forget that Buddy Ebsen broke into show business as a song-and-dance man. Once a hoofer, always a hoofer.
The original Tin Woodsman . His allergy to the silver nitrate paint gave the role to Jack Haley..( Wizard Of Oz)
Ebsen and his sister were a dance team
Ernest T. Bass, er um, Howard Morris can flat dance!
Do you hear anyone complaining about being offended at this stereotypical portrayal of white guys? Me neither.....
Then you don't listen well. Buddy Ebsen himself had issues with the portrayal and that is why he had it stipulated he would walkout at any time if he did not like a script (or so I have heard).
@@GrumblingGrognard And then he played Jed Clampett for nine seasons, as well as doing this skit.
Ask the real hill people what they thought. They're offended.
We aren't allowed to complain or have an opinion. Plus we aren't that soft ... Not unless it became political capital to say something then the left would be all over it.
@@patrickspeedling8599ok MAGAt
Weeeellll doggies!!
Morris would have made a good addition to the cast of The Beverley Hillbillies on a semi-regular basis as he did on TAGS
His limited role on The Andy Griffith show,priceless.
My Romena.
C'mon! It doesn't get any better than this! Beautiful slap stick insanity.
This is the entertainment I grew up watching, fun to watch, thanks for posting St.Louis Flashback :)
High fives! Buddy Ebsen looks like having a time to keep from cracking up in wrong times.
He's such a good dancer. I love seeing him dance in old movies.
When they sing at the end, Morris and Kaye take it right to the camera, but Ebsen is playing to the live crowd.
"She called me a creachter !!"
-- Ernest T. Bass
Earnest T Bass. Forgive me. I'm old.
who don't like Earnest T...:)
Ernest
What's to forgive ? It's GREAT !!
I was there man.
Howard Morris. What a fantastic comedy talent.
And director!! Ernest T Bass very undervalued by public!!!
@@deborahpeeples1439is was very Ernest T Bass!
I would have married Ernest, what a cutie.
Also did quite a few cartoon character voices for Hanna Barbara
Howard Morris...such a versatile actor. Lots of great talent on that stage.
4 comedy legends in a mediocre routine. Still shows their talents.
Harvey Korman went right from the Danny Kaye Show to the Carol Burnett Show in 1967.
+Bob Sewvello And he was probably grateful to make the switch!
+DrDespicable What do you mean?
best for him. he was amazing on the CB show
You can hear the Great Gazoo from The Flintstones in his voice in this skit.
And thank God for that
Good acting and fun, thank you! Earnest T Bass is my fav for Morris
Buddy was GOOD! They cracked him up, but he would only chuckle 2 or 3 times and be ready to go with his next line! Just like a real old time vaudeville trooper!
It's me, it's me, it's Ernest T . Thank you all !!!
You are fantastic
I can see you but you can't see me!
Ernest T. Bass: "If I'd seen you comin' and knowed what to do, I'd have rizzed both arms and wove at you!"
Wonder what ever happened to Jed’s hat after all these years?
It's in the Smithsonian ...
@@basilmarasco1975 awesome
His rapidness of tongue verbal technique will forever be unbeatable.He is a legend!!
These guys are awesome, I especially love Buddy Ebsen!😃❤👍 He's an amazing actor and dancer!😊
Genuine comedy without filth or nudity. That's how ya do it.
Absolutely
Loved Earnest T Bass on Andy Griffith show
I still can’t figure out his character.
Where did he draw from to come up with the way he talked thought and acted. You can’t make all of that up.
@@whereswaldo5740The character was fashioned after actual people that lived in and around the Appalachian Mountains in the NC and Tennessee area. I don't say this as a slight to those people, in fact, I love the Appalachian area and the people there are among the best in the world. They, of course, exaggerated his character's antics for the sake of comedy but it was all in fun.
Would have to say Ernest T Bass stole the show😅
I loved Danny the way he was dancing and acting , he made this show enjoyable and loved .
Whatever happened to good old-fashioned fun entertainment like this? I suppose I'm too young too have seen anything like this myself, but once I discovered Danny Kaye I enjoyed it.
My son was born in 2021. We homeschooled him and is 20 now.
He loved Danny Kaye in Walter Mitty
and the Inspector General.
@@whereswaldo5740 I also love Danny's films, he was a comedic genius! But he was also great in dramatic roles. He was awesome as Walter Mitty. I loved him in The Court Jester and Wonder Man too!
I had a friend that told me he read a lot about Ernest t bass in a book or possibly The Andy Griffith show and Andy didn't want earnesty on too often because he would upstage everybody he was so good I believe he was actually a writer for The Andy Griffith show too.
I think Ernest T. (Howard) directed a few episodes too.
Morris directed some episodes of The Andy Griffith Show, Gomer Pyle, Hogan's Heroes, The Dick Van Dyke Show, the black and white pilot episode of Get Smart and later, episodes of One Day at a Time, Bewitched, and single episodes of many other comedy shows.
Morris is also credited with creating the loudest and longest unprompted outburst of laughter from an audience on Your Show of Shows.
Howard Morris, shear genius! He only appeared on The Andy Griffith Show five times and I think he directed all but one.
Great to see all these talented folks. Still, it's an awful long way to go for a punch line (although the arrangement of the musical payoff is super).
Ernest T. Bass ! Cool.
Howard Morris was a genius.
Most underrated actor/comedian ever.
One wonders if Mel Brooks had anything to do with this? Otherwise, he stole the idea of hillbillies incongruously singing Jazz in the same way that the old railroad boys sang. "I get No Kick From Champagne" in "Blazing Saddles". Same premise--funny both times!
Actually the hilbillies sang "camptown racers"
What a gem !
More talent in this skit than in all of Hollywood now.
All pure talent. Professional, mature men playing silly characters. This is utterly charming and highlights one inescapable fact: They just don't make'em like this anymore. Bravo to these fine actors. Kaye was always pure Broadway.
He had it all for sure
They probably do make them but they would never be allowed to be successful
*I think it's 'pure crap' disguised as 'Entertainment'*
@@gerrynightingale9045 And you're full of crap
@@Laughandsong *What's wrong, 'Lard-Bucket?'*
*You don't care for my 'Opinions?'*
*Here's another...YOU HAVE NO 'TALENT' at all, especially in vocalizing*
( *Although you are 'on-key' which places you many orders above Yoko Ono, you just aren't any good* )
did not recognize T bass without a brick in his hand.
LMBO. (Laughing my butt off)😎
Hahaha!
"Ernest T, you quit throwin' them rocks!"
And a gunnysack.
It's me. It's me. It's Earnest T.!
Bass
Barney Fife: "I think he's a nut! "
yes it is
*Andy:* "Ernest T, how do you keep gettin' out of that cell? !!!"
*Ernest T:* "Irritatin', isn't it?"
*Andy:* "YES!"
Good Lord, Jed Clampett meets Ernest T. Bass.
Danny Kaye was always one of my favorites. 🤠👍
I could see some "bad blood" between Danny Kaye and Howard Morris. Extra little punches and pokes that were obviously not in the script.
Rare clip! 😀👍
+Ron Ray Ikr, because when i watched this for the first time,i recall how danny was hitting howard a little too hard. and it wasn't just for comic effect.
I think Danny liked to be the focus . This is the answer to all responses.
Howard Morris. Comedic genius.
My eyes kept going to Howard Morris. His dancing was so natural and fluid. I know Buddy Ebsen started his career as a dancer, but I always found that his height made him look gangly when he danced. I think Danny got overshadowed in that skit. .
I think that was part of Ebsen's charm. Despite his height and difficulty making the moves, he proved that tall guys could dance too. And he made up his own style -- it was very unique and memorable. Besides, he was an awesome dude in real life -- very nice to just about everyone.
I heard this too. he's a bit wiggly but interesting to watch
I love watching Jed "stomp" on the Beverly Hillbillies...
Wonderful. And I just am amazed as usual and love the way the Buddy Epson moves and dances.
surprized harvey didnt laugh!
When Buddy Ebsen played in the 50s TV show Davy Crockett I always thought he was short. Fess Parker who played Davy Crockett seemed to tower over him. Little did I know then that Fess was damn near 6'6" tall. In reality the real Davy Crockett stood about 5'7".
Buddy Ebsen in his heyday stood 6'3". At the time of his death he was frail and stood about 5'9".
Howard Morris looks like Paul Simon.
YEAH HE DOES!!!😃😃😃
This "comedy sketch" took place in 1964 but what if all the characters were changed to blacks and did the exact same dialogues the 1964 characters spoke and acted out? Would today's woke culture allow it?
Mel Brooks once said that 'political correctness' would be the end of comedy. Unfortunately, he's right, the "woke" are ruining everything.
It sounds like they are lip syncing to the Hi-Los at the end of this video. Cool recording!
well since there were female voices in it.....
That was a super classic for sure. Three very famous actors. I've seen a lot of TV in my days but can't honestly say I remember that skit. It definitely preceeded the invention of color television. Very funny stuff.
As a little girl, I loved Danny Kaye and had a cush on him. I thought he was sweet and very handsome With that red hair and gentle face and he had a wonderful voice. It was said that he had perfect pitch.
Danny Kaye looks and sounds like Jerry Lee Lewis 1970s and 80s era.
I never knew this existed
I love Buddy Ebsen he is a good actor.
Another DK skit ending that you didn't expect!😂😁
Buddy Ebsen clearly knew only his own lines for this sketch as he laughs at every joke he didn't know was coming. It even seems like he is reading his own lines,too. He either walked into this sketch almost, or completely cold, and still did a good job. That's watcha call talent!
Oh my gosh! And the other guy is so familiar from the Andy Griffith Show! What a deep cut this is!
Ernest T. Bass.
Howard Morris as Ernest T. Bass. He was also a writer for TV and did the voice of Gopher in the Winnie the Pooh cartoons.
Boy, do I miss the old variety shows that I and my family grew up with!! 10 minutes was the most time for any music act or scene. Noways, these are replaced with "Talent Shows" and even worse, "Award shows"
Nowadays
Too non-PC. You could never do a "Hillbilly" sketch like this today.
Yea I guess making fun of exploited people living in dire poverty is out of fashion.
Mel Brooks said that political correctness would be the end of comedy. Sadly, he's right.
@@johndodge8999 How are they exploited? No, people back then weren't constantly looking for a reason to be offended or have white liberal SJWs be offended on their behalf. People had a sense of humor and could have fun and even poke fun at themselves. People could take a joke.
@@LilFisch1174 out of touch much?
@@johndodge8999 Nope. SJW much? But since you're so self superior, explain it to me. How old are you any way?
Howard Morris did the voice of Hillbilly Goat in the King’s sugar stars commercials
This is PURE GOLD !
What was the difference between Morris working with Kaye and working with Caesar ?
Wow…Harvey Corman from Carol Burnett Show in this too! 🥰 Thanks for posting…
Entertainers today dont have half the talent of these gentlemen. Just great stuff back then.
Yes, some entertainers today are just as good if not better. No single generation has the corner on talent.
This is gold! The birth of Ernest T Bass.
Hilarious!
FUN FACT: Buddy Ebsen was a famous dancer long before he became Jed Clampett
BONUS: The gentleman in the suit and hat wearing glasses is the late Harvey Korman from the 'Carol Burnette Show'.
" It's me it's me, It's Earnest T"
Fantastic! Why oh why did I have to work nights ?? Thank goodness that guy got it on tape
morris didnt like working with danny kaye? now this i would like to know more about
4 giants on stage together
Uncle Jed & Ernest T. Bass.
I will never EVER recognize Howard Morris's face. No matter how many times I've seen him, but I will never EVER forget his voice. I'd know it anywhere.
These 3 are classics. We love the old shows. Also seen Howard Morris on Jack Benny, and he did some of the “radio announcer “ voices on Andy Griffith too.
@@d.g.n9392 he was also the voice of Gopher in the Winnie the Pooh cartoons.
@@LilFisch1174He also did many other cartoon voices.
How many people think Ernest P. Worrell is an offshoot of Ernest T.? Jim Varney and John Cherry have denied it, but there’s too much similarity as far as I’m concerned. Both were extremely funny entertainers and it’s a shame Varney never got to direct, although he did make it to immortality as Slinky the Dog in Toy Story.
Great clip!
Don't Trust Ernest he will Rock your Windows...
Never realized how short Danny Kay was, I guess that’s the reason for the ridiculous hat.
Howard Morris was “Earnest T Bass” on the Andy Griffith show…. And the show’s director
Watching this almost brought tears to my eyes, wholesome FAMILY oriented comedy! That word hasn't been demonized yet!
“I think he’s some kind of a sissy.”
I would love to have a hat like the one Danny is wearing. Put that on and go to an event where Boy George and Pharrell Williams happen to be. That would show them! 🤭👍
Crossbreed a bear with a deer and you get a BEER!
We all love the Beverly Hills billies
I'll just say this is great. On TH-cam look what I found. Buddy Ebsen Danny Kaye earnest t bass it don't get any better than this.
funny
ITS ME ITS ME ITS EARNEST T !😂😂 EARNEST T. BASS, THEN A ROCK COMES THROUGH YOUR WINDOW
Howard Morris or Ernest T. Bass from Andy Griffin show.
This is so great! Thank you
Meghan Moikles ancestors I believe.
I think Harvey is doing a take on John Lomax, the musicologist and father of the arguably more famous Alan Lomax, who made thousands of fantastic recordings of folk music.
I liked Ebsen and Kaye -- both great talents - but not in this sketch.
Love Howard Morris.
True talent!! Howard Morris was a brilliant actor!!
