What an era... Looked so fun then... Yet keep in mind the Vietnam War was beginning at this time... Still, a wonderful moment in time captured for us all to enjoy...well, 1,196 views...
Jerry Lewis (de nacimiento Joseph o Jerome Levitch; Newark, Estados Unidos, 16 de marzo de 1926-Las Vegas, 20 de agosto de 2017) fue un comediante, actor, cantante, director y humanitario estadounidense.
Charlie Callas (Brooklyn; 20 de diciembre de 1924 - Las Vegas; 27 de enero de 2011) fue un actor y comediante estadounidense, especialmente conocido por su trabajo con Mel Brooks, Jerry Lewis y Dean Martin y sus numerosas actuaciones en directo en diversos talk shows televisivos de los años setenta. También fue conocido por su papel de Malcolm Argos, el propietario de un restaurante y antiguo estafador en la serie de televisión de Eddie Albert y Robert Wagner titulada Switch.
I am of the thinking that Mr. Lewis had color copies of all of his appearances on the "Tonight" show. His family probably threw away the boxes or donated them to "Goodwill." Someone out there has the originals.
NBC erased almost all the color 2” videotape for reuse elsewhere. There’s little left of Tonight Show’s archive from its years in New York. This is a kinescope which was filmed in B&W (16mm?) off a video monitor somewhere.
burteriksson dude take your feelings out of it. I never said that today was better I said callas was shit. Him and Ray J Johnson were one in the same, that style does have life that’s why it’s stuck where it was. Real comics like Pryor, Carlin, Rickles, etc are timeless and translate to anytime
@@tyrant_tarantula To say he had not talent or was shit is a bit brutal. Perhaps not you your liking and to me limited in scope (especially on TV), but you don't spend decades in the business working continually with no talent, and he did work continually. He was a highly respected drummer as well, opened for Sinatra often and headlined in Vegas and other similar venues throughout the US. If you can't sell tickets you do not work, he worked.
I could listen to his George Jessel impression all day.
Amazing footage! Callas was a top 5 comedian for me.
Very most talented of all comedians
Yeah, my father told me about his funny duck-hunting joke. It's on TH-cam.

Best version of “Tom Dooley” I’ve ever heard.
Looks like the New York studio.
Callas was an amazingly skilled comedian.
Amazing talent! Today, we have junk ...
"The Big Mouth" was a good movie. Hard to find online, though. It should be on Netflix or Amazon some day.
charlie callas sounds like Tony Curtis doing Cary Grant when Curtis played in the movie Some Like it Hot.

Who is the female guest who did not know yo get out of the main chair when Charlie Callas first came out?
Jerry Lewis was so outclassed, he couldn't stand it. Charlie was stellar.
I thought they started filming this show in color before this?

What the hell is Ed McMahon doing there? Did he defect to Johnny Carson?
It’s the Tonight Show! Ed McMahon was always there. Jerry Lewis is guest hosting for Johnny Carson who is either out for the night or on vacation.

Why was he funny?
burteriksson he was not talented, it was something slightly different for the time. Crowds back then laughed at anything
