@@delesgames Not to nitpick, but... One spelling is the man's name, while the other is not. I would say any one of us would like to be addressed as our actual identities, so the least we can do is extend the same courtesy to good old William.
These people had dignity and class. That's what made the comedy work. They didn't have to descend to the gutter or be vicious. There are still a few - a very few - public figures left who have genuine dignity but not enough. I guess we get what we ask for.
If you today prefer Wells, what makes you think anyone asks for anything else? We are fed crap by the oligarchs bc they are trying to dumb us down. We have zero option.
Genius! I am in awe of Mr. Welles. I am convinced he would have succeeded in any field he chose to pursue given his intelligence, wit, presence, ... God did not make many like Mr. Welles...
Loved Mr. Welles in “The Stranger” with Loretta Young, Edward G Robinson and Richard Long, I believe. Memory is going fast. He had such a presence and marvelous speaking voice. He read “The War of the Worlds” so realistically that the audience believed an Alien Invasion was actually happening. Thank you for sharing this nostalgic video clip!
@@63bplumb Yes, Orson Welles was very accomplished but you seem to be missing the point. Frasier is a character portrayed by Kelsey Grammar. No one here is comparing Kelsey directly to Orson. They are comparing the character he plays to Orson.
Great comedy just flows effortlessly out of these gifted people, everyone of them was a great star in their own right. These guys were the last of a golden age of entertainers never to be seen again.
Muhuhhhh, the French! Champagne is known for its excellence. There is a California champagne by Paul Masson, inspired! mnnk, by that same French excellence.
Was thinking you could fit two of all those guys into one orson wells suit , he was truly a giant and so really sad looking at all those Talented people now gone
This is the real Orson Welles. A strange amalgam of pompous and down to earth. He was very aware of his image and regularly made fun of himself. In his words ' i started at the top and have been working my way down ever since". He said he was hired when a producer wanted to give their project some class. Self awareness like that is very rare.
George Orson Welles, más conocido como Orson Welles (Kenosha, Wisconsin, 6 de mayo de 1915-Los Ángeles, California, 10 de octubre de 1985), fue un actor, director, guionista, productor y locutor de radio estadounidense.
Nah, it was Frank Sinatra who was the hardcore Mob stooge, not Dean so much. Both men had dinner with the man who ordered JFK's assassination several times, in any case.
Such urbanity... And I bet Rickles (an actor as well as a comedian) was completely knocked out by this. Welles skewering Dino, with acerbic wit and superb comic timing: This is Algonquin Roundtable-level stuff. (And if you are old enough to recognize everyone of the HUGE presences on the dais, giving reaction-shots, I am sorry to say... You are really OLD.)
No, there was only ever one Orson Welles, and he left us in 1985. We shall not see his like again, but we are fortunate film and audio technology existed to capture and preserve his genius for all time.
*"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore."* it's true; that's how painful love hits you & feels. but in my case it wasn't the moon that hit my eye; it was the devil, & he didn't hit my eye with a big pizza pie; instead with a sledgehammer.
Orson Wells was truly a genius! With that voice he could read the phone book and make it entertaining.
With that big portrait of Martin behind Welles at the podium it looks like a scene right out of Citizen Kane!
"Well meant, but rather pedestrian introduction" killed me 😂
Me too! I had just taken a sip of water and nearly spit it out! I also died when he started reading the lyrics lol especially when he said "...big pizza pie..." LOL Gold!
It's nice to see that Welles got such a warm and enthusiastic welcome.
He might have been underappreciated by many, but sure as hell not everybody
Don Rickles’ introduction of Orson Welles is missing from this clip.
“Our next guest has had a lot of wives, and they’re all flat!”
when roasts began with Shakespear quotes
Pure class

Orson Welles was really funny!!! He added such eloquence and class to his humor!
Straight-out clean, genuinely funny comedy. It's a lost art these days.
It is indeed, ths is sheer class.
Oh shut up
Mr. Wells was a one of a kind . Intelligence ,talent and a voice like no other .
Genius! I am in awe of Mr. Welles. I am convinced he would have succeeded in any field he chose to pursue given his intelligence, wit, presence, ... God did not make many like Mr. Welles...
The incomparable Orson Welles !
Legends never DIE 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The way he says "like a gay tarantella" is so funny; the look of shock on Welles' face lol

The very greatest orator ever.
Orson had a great voice!
Bring back good entertainment like this.
"Now that's what I call 'touching', Dean..."
"It has all the romanticism of a Tidy-Bowl commercial." XD
What a wonderful bit! Welles reminds me of Frasier, something I mean as a compliment to both.
+Kaninma Exactly! By the time "Frasier" started, Frasier Crane had essentially become very much like Orson Welles. It's uncanny.
Never made that connection before but it's true!
I was thinking the same thing. Very similar.
One is learned-accomplished-brilliant-extraordinary! One is NOT! Take a wild guess which is which? One just PLAYS a character.

I love intelligent witty insults.
Orson Welles is a genius.
This legend has come a long way since Citizen Kane
I really like Orson, what a man!
When Welles get up, he seems a giant next to Don.
Oh no, you got me started on a roast binge, and I gotta go to work tomorrow.
I'm convinced Frasier is based on Orson Welles! Wow!
There is a California champagne by Paul Masson that Dean drinks too much of.
Classic, pure gold!!!
+Storm Davis thanks, Storm Davis
Awesome Wells
Great comedy just flows effortlessly out of these gifted people, everyone of them was a great star in their own right. These guys were the last of a golden age of entertainers never to be seen again.
The best time in America.
The fact that his collar is messed up maybe makes this funnier.
What a speaker
Epic trolling from the one and only Unicron (apologies to John Noble, whose voicework was still excellent)
I hear orson speak and I hear Kelsey grammer. Close your eyes, do you hear sideshow bob a bit?
Muhuhhhh, the French! Champagne is known for its excellence. There is a California champagne by Paul Masson, inspired! mnnk, by that same French excellence.
Action please orson

As we say in my country: it's millimetered.
This was apparently BEFORE anyone could comment on Mr. Welles having too much wine...
Was thinking you could fit two of all those guys into one orson wells suit , he was truly a giant and so really sad looking at all those Talented people now gone
C;ever and so funny. I loved the trip down a long memory lane. Regardless of orson welles`s views that was a great song in my day
Whoosh

The fact that “That’s Amore” has made Dean Martin and his family estate more money than Orson Wells could have imagined in his wildest dreams 😂
My man he is orson welles
"Donald you're a yoyo"
FOND MEMREES FOR AN 85 YR OLD FAN OF THEM BOTH!!!
The way he says "wine" makes me laugh so hard, I'm not quite sure why
To be an entertainer or not to be
That is the question
What shall it profit etc etc!
comedy devoid of VULGARITY.. I love it
The things they did not film were supposed to be rude.

LOL Don Rickles was already aware that he was a yo-yo
Don Rickles at the end was shifting and back-and-forth looking at Deno saying 'no mob action right?'
Nah, it was Frank Sinatra who was the hardcore Mob stooge, not Dean so much. Both men had dinner with the man who ordered JFK's assassination several times, in any case.
WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE LIKE A BIG PIZZA PIE
What a profound thought 😂
Such urbanity...

Im only 33 & I recognize them ALL but my soul is OLD. I was raised by my grandparents & a grandfather who raised me as if I was born in the 50s.
Ahhhhhhh, Dean Martin, known for his excellence.
Do guys like this still exist?
Orson died in 1985.
mmm6325 Nope! Class died in the 90's.
No, there was only ever one Orson Welles, and he left us in 1985. We shall not see his like again, but we are fortunate film and audio technology existed to capture and preserve his genius for all time.
I dunno but I try to live my stoic life like Orson.
What I would give to be roasted by Orson Wells and Don Rickles
*"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore."*
it's true; that's how painful love hits you & feels. but in my case it wasn't the moon that hit my eye; it was the devil, & he didn't hit my eye with a big pizza pie; instead with a sledgehammer.
Folks this is what was known as gravitas and that isn't a fat joke.
I never enjoyed movies that Orson Wells acted in. However, I really enjoyed this and the humor 😄 was well done.
Dean didn't like this and the rest just laughed because it was necessary.
So funny
More Angie Dickinson!
Is that Barry Goldwater???
Hmmmm.... Dean gets his.
What year is it?
Soo funny
Rosebud.
Is that Barry Goldwater up there?
Senator Goldwater
hazardous song ..LOL
LMFAO!!!!!! Omg!
This kind of reminds me of a game me and a friend would play, where we'd talk to each other with song lyrics lol
Fuuuuuck. He's a biiiiiig man.
Orson's win was so huge, his body had to expand to small moon size to contain it.
Unicron...
0:17
Imagine Orson roasting Trump 😂
what a voice. no
Dean didn't like singing that song.
Full of country goodness and green peaness. Wait that's terrible! I quit!
One time I was bowling and I thought of this line. I got a gutter ball
