I agree, Andy Whitfield was one of my favorite actors, I was heartbroken when I heard that he was no longer with us. I also wanted to thank you for posting who it was that sang this song, I have been looking for that for a long time, such wonderful voices.
I knew I was going to cry. Can't help the fact I love and adore the actors and creators of my favorite shows. The moment they showed Leslie Nelson, I couldn't hold back my tears.
I remember this very showing in 2011; I was standing in the living room as George was lying on the couch. I asked George to please turn it up and we both enjoyed it; such holds so many memories that are so fond and breaking to my heart and every time I listen to it, I break down and cry. It was the last song that I listened to with my fiancé, George, who died by suicide just five days later and played at my father's funeral who passed away just weeks later. I share this with some of my closest friends and have shared it with what I thought were good men in my life, only to find out they did not appreciate it or me or the loss of two extremely extravagant men.
Jeff Conaway was a very glaring omission, considering he was on "Taxi," which won multiple Emmys. Another omission: David Nelson, one fourth of "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," the longest running live action sitcom in American TV history. Would've been nice also to include music consultant Don Kirschner ("Don Kircschner's Rock Concert," "Bewitched"), comedian Charlie Callas, and announcers Fred Foy ("The Lone Ranger") and Art Gilmore ("Highway Patrol," which he narrated).
And this is a tribute to my favorite cousin madelyn Pugh Davis the writer of my favorite TV show I love lucy rest in peace cousin see you one day in heaven 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗.
Pardon me while I giggle madly at four Canadians singing a sing written BY a Canadian honouring American TV - how fitting, considering we are EVERYWHERE in your industry.
I loved this --so moving and beautiful the best part of the show. All amazing people and I really choked up on Peter Falk, Leslie Nielsen, even Jack LaLanne who was so ahead of his time.. Beautiful version of the song. Thought this was tasteful and well done and a chance to have a moment to remember so many amazing talents that touched our lives
This is a tribute to my favorite grandparents Jill clayburgh and Elizabeth Taylor and my favorite uncle cliff robertson and my brother harlod Gould and my grandfather jack lalanne and my favorite cousins Peter falk Andy whitfield al masini and Stephen j cannell who I miss them with all my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
A shout-out for the great character actor, Bill Erwin. His career in comedy began with Edgar Bergen on radio, and on TV from "Amos and Andy" to "Seinfeld" and beyond. He was a wonderful man as well as a talented actor and a lovable curmudgeon. Rest in Peace, dear friend.
@tleafs0 He died early this year. Janurary 10, 2011.Rip He was one of my faves from that show along with roma downey and della reese.. It was the best show I had ever known besides Boy Meets World.
I would've been nice if Harry Morgan made it to 2012. He died at the end of 2011; he was SO close! R.I.P Harry Morgan [a.k.a Col. Sherman T. Potter :*)]
For many years as a kid growing up I would remember that ending sequence of a series whereby Stephen would pull the paper out of the typewriter and throw it into the air. There are just some people you think will be around forever....Very sad indeed
Pardon me while I giggle at a Canadian trying to sound witty when she things people sing sings, quite fitting that no one gave your comment a thumb up :D
@mitchconn - I concur. That was a bloody shame although this was the best 'In Memoriam' segment I've ever seen! The Academy Awards could learn from this!
I think Andy Whitfield was the toughest loss he so young and just cut right down with Cancer, he fought but terrible that just as it went in remission it returned more aggressively and he died. Very sad
Where was the Macho King Randy Savage? (I Know for a wrestler to be in these they better have been big, but I know for a fact, Macho Man was immitated and impersonated in almost every sitcom since the 80s. COME ON!
Where is the amazing Tony Curtis, Gloria Stuart, Pete Postlethwaite and Susannah York???... don´t they deserve too be remembered and honored in the Memoriam?? :O
Andy Whitfield made Spartacus bearable until it improved later in that first season. Cancer is a fucking thief; I bet he had so many good roles left in him.
i agree with balderdashman. Except,jack was the shit. I love jackass. How did ryan "leave" again? That is a shame that they forgot to add jeff conway. That was GREASE! Come on people. Best movie and songs EVER! Who agrees?
Wow, beautiful. And for a change there was no "Applause Death-O-Meter", so you could hear some stars getting tons of applause and others getting nothing. I always thought that was rather tacky.
@LoganRexus Yeah, I would have preferred something more reserved. The choice of song was fine just not the walking through the aisles thing. That was way too Vegas.
Best version of Leonard Cohen's masterpiece.
I couldn't agree more
Youve obviously never heard the late great Jeff Buckley do this song
RIP Jill Clayburgh. I got really emotional when she appeared and was loudly aplauded. Miss you, girl.
It breaks my heart everytime I see Andy Whitfield in this so very emotive tribute. Just wonderful presented by the Canadian Tenors.
I agree, Andy Whitfield was one of my favorite actors, I was heartbroken when I heard that he was no longer with us. I also wanted to thank you for posting who it was that sang this song, I have been looking for that for a long time, such wonderful voices.
It breaks my heart too. He was an amazing actor 😢
i bawled for Andy. and i tear up and rewatch his part every time i watch this video.
One of The Television Family's Great Artist Has Been Accomplished From Achievement. RIP Stephen J. Cannell.
Leslie Nielsen :'( always in my heart ♥♡
RIP Elizabeth Sladen and John Dye. You will be missed in this world.Thanks for ur wonderful talents to tv to us fans. God Speed.
I never even knew of Andy Whitfield but I saw how young he was so I had to look him up and now everytime I see his part...I bawl.
Elizabeth Taylor will always be missed
I always loved the symbol of Stephen J. Cannell's shows, where he is typing and he rips out the page and throws it.
And we all lived happily ever after as a one big happy television 📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺 family 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗.
Such a lovely tribute.💖
Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since Peter Falk left us. Columbo’s still the best TV detective, bar none.
Love this performance. Unbelievable that I'm still listening to this in 2016. When it aired i rewound it until my dvr wouldn't let me anymore
Tori Kelly Performed This Song Last Month At This Year's Emmys During That Segment.
@@LightTower936 And it was also performed at the 44th annual daytime emmy awards back in 2016
@@marvinmoore2720 yes the same year.
Leslie Nielsen was an amazing man and an amazing actor. It breaks my heart every time I remember he's not with us. RIP
Jill, Andy, Stephen wow I cannot believe so many great talents gone
R.I.P Andy....:( Thank you so so much for everything! I AM SPARTACUS!!!!!!
Andy W. was such an up and coming actor, I was looking forward to seeing his career develop. Very sad to see him go. RIP
Sada Thompson was fabulous in “Family “!
How could they ignore David Nelson? He was the last member of the Nelson brood from the Adventures of Ozzie and Harriett? BIG oversight.
Rip Blake edwards the main and true creator of the pink panther which is my childhood, he will forever be missed.
I knew I was going to cry. Can't help the fact I love and adore the actors and creators of my favorite shows. The moment they showed Leslie Nelson, I couldn't hold back my tears.
R.I.P. Michael Clarke Duncan !
Michael Clark Duncan died in 2012 ,this was the 2011 Emmy's in memoriam
This is such a beautiful rendition of this song, it gives me goosebumps.
Andy Whitfield... :( Our champion of capua, slayer of theokoles and bringer of rain. We miss u so much.
shoutout for andy whitield, uncle frank and every great person we lose
It's loss
Madilyn Pugh Davis was one of the best writers of all time

Andy Whitfield, he died at 39. He was the start on the series
Spartacus: Blood and Sand
One of the best series EVER made.
And we love each other no matter what 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉.
Wonderful!!!
R.I.P Tom bosley
Thank you for uploading this. Its the highest quality version of this performance I could find.
The Oscars can learn from this how to do an 'In Memoriam' correctly.
I have always wondered why the Oscars have never used this song for their 'In Memoriam' segment. It would be perfect.
Pardon me while I giggle madly at four Canadians singing a sing written BY a Canadian honouring American TV - how fitting, considering we are EVERYWHERE in your industry.
RIP LEONARD COHEN
Is Leonard Cohen Going To Be Honored During The In Memoriam At Next Year's Emmys?
oh yeah he will

r.i.p Andy Whitfield
@tleafs0 He died early this year. Janurary 10, 2011.Rip
He was one of my faves from that show along with roma downey and della reese.. It was the best show I had ever known besides Boy Meets World.
@Lostplanet1996 I was in tears the moment they showed him on screen. It breaks my heart to see actors die at such a young age.
I would've been nice if Harry Morgan made it to 2012. He died at the end of 2011; he was SO close! R.I.P Harry Morgan [a.k.a Col. Sherman T. Potter :*)]
this is from 2011 not 2012
andy whitfield
R.I.P
andy cant believe it yet
RIP Andy Whitfield. You were ripped from this world way too early!
Still brings me to tears
We're all going to die famous or not
Fred Steiner composed the Perry Mason theme.
really awesome they included Dunn.
Janet McLaughlin,a brilliant,very underrated actress; not much was said about her passing last year.
RIP Leslie Nielsen. That guy made me cry from laughter :D
I'm have a degree in vocal performance and I thought the same thing once the harmonies began.
I am glad that they included John Dye and Elizabeth Taylor.
Sad we are all going to die famous or not

Jeff Conaway, Taxi and Babylon Five, as well as Grease; how could they leave him out?
Elisabeth Sladen should have been in this. Even though Doctor Who was a British show it did have a following in the US.
I think Andy Whitfield was the toughest loss he so young and just cut right down with Cancer, he fought but terrible that just as it went in remission it returned more aggressively and he died. Very sad
I'm happy they included James MacArthur :')

Andy Whitfield.....there are....just no words. :'(
Taken FAR too soon.
Leslie Nielsen RIP
It's a shame they included the guy from Jackass but foregone Jeff Conaway. WTF were they thinking?!?
I love how they included Ryan Dunn.
@chavez219 His name is Victor Micallef :)
RYAN DUNN!!!!!!!! RIP!
Jack Lalanne's quote is so epic
@Pfield82 He was also in Babylon 5.
R.I.P ryan dunn.
Where was the Macho King Randy Savage? (I Know for a wrestler to be in these they better have been big, but I know for a fact, Macho Man was immitated and impersonated in almost every sitcom since the 80s. COME ON!

R.I.P RYAN DUNN!!!!
@sarahwhitinghough you can buy it from itunes. Search for "Canadian Tenors" and you'll find this song, "Hallelujah." I hope this helps you.
Andy Whitfield made Spartacus bearable until it improved later in that first season. Cancer is a fucking thief; I bet he had so many good roles left in him.

Whats the guy singing at 0:59 name
Wow. This is the first time someone I worked with and knew well made the list. Very sad.
Jeff Conway?
@RaskMolle and jane russell and glen shadix :(
John Dye passed away?! How sad :-(
@jaraandrew100 ya let Akon sing again.... it's a live show, why not?
@SarahB1863 Oops, that should be, 'so you COULDN'T hear...'
Leslie Nielsen.... :(
Personally adding Elizabeth Sladen to that. :'(
@LoganRexus Yeah, I would have preferred something more reserved. The choice of song was fine just not the walking through the aisles thing. That was way too Vegas.
