- George Harrison makes a surprise appearance on "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour." Originally broadcast on November 17, 1968. Short but sweet - and incredibly sexy! :-D
Even as a little girl I thought George was the most gorgeous man I'd ever seen. Still do! Loved his music the best, too... God bless you, George!
Amen to that! bless him. He's the most gorgeous man I've ever seen too.
People 50 years later who did not live thru this time in the 60's, have no idea what an event it was to see a Beatle on live TV, let alone meet one in person. They were worshiped like sun kings. When a new Beatles record came out, it was an immediate #1, and the radio stations would play the singles around the clock. This appearance on Nov 17 1968 was only a few days before the White Album was released on Nov 22, 1968.
A great great album
@Charleybones
I am 14 years old, and whenever I watch videos of the Beatles (I watch them all the time) I get that same feeling that girls in the 60s got!😂💕
I usually cry happy tears!
@@facethemusic5155 I saw Paul McCartney at the Pontiac Silverdome in June 1993 and there were people in the teens to 60s grooving to the music. It was incredible to see how they transcended different generations.
George had a "coolness" that words really couldn't capture. From "Don't Bother Me" on Meet the Beatles..."I Need You" on Help, all the way to "Something" and everything in between. He got labeled over and over as the "quiet one", and only his friends and loved ones (and George) new the truth. What a brilliant spirit. A true hero, and so missed...
You must be an American.
He had millions of fans globally.
@@nankypooh655 yes he's an American. Know how I know? Because Americans know know true talent when we see it and he's spot on about George Harrison.
I can also tell you that he's from Michigan. Know how I know? Because Sparty is Michigan State Spartans.
George was the cool one!
Love George’s voice, both singing and speaking.
"ladies and gentlemen Mr. George Harrison"
me: *heavy breathing*
+Cassie Rosa Lol, I had the same reaction
Cassie Rosa riiiight???!!!!
Heart pounding!
More like me , I said " he's on telly ah shits gonna go down
Sir George Harrison
George just looks like someone very special to the human race here......what a fabulous face..........the wit, the whole bit
Same with the other 3...
Yes,he was also a Hare Krishna!
He is/was a Beatle.
The highest of all Beings.
Gesh, relax. He was just a guy
He really benefited from joining Paul and John's band.
His hair here was glorious. He was like a deity arriving from Olympus
... and his hair was perfect.
Beatle of London....
"He was like a deity arriving from Olympus"
LMAO! It's a moptop. :'D Your idea of how a 'deity from Olympus' looks is funny.
@@CooManTunes
You don't get it. Please be quiet.
George looked great here. Funny too with a great sense of humor! Miss him. His son looks exactly like him today. His spirit and music will always live on forever.
George 's body only perished, not the man! George lives on in Heaven! You'll all see him again. 🧡🤎🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️⛪✝
Nobody knows who he is.
@sjstrick0124 x Dhani only got George's eyes...the rest of his face resembles Olivia...
@@garychambers5850 well said👍
@@tyronejoihnson7046 no one cares wtf you are either.
One of the most beautiful faces that ever existed❤️
Really. Sometimes, it's hard for me to even believe he was real. He was just way too beautiful.
I remember sitting at home in 68 and I saw this show with my mom. I was 13 and a huge Beatle fan. By 68 it was rare to get any of the Beatles to make tv show appearances, this was a big deal, even my mom was smiling. George looks cool here.
You bet she was 😉
rare? they had just been shown on tv a few weeks prior to this with hey jude and revolution
Agree ! There were not too many appearances. Maybe they should have done more. However, I think all The Beatles were very aware of the media at that time. You know you cannot say too much !!!
He's honestly one of the most gorgeous people who's ever lived
Agreed. His Beauty is Beyond Earthly! Ethereal!
He was just divine...❤️
My Favorite Beatle at times... I go through phases... 🥰🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️
How could anybof
How could any body be so gourgeous and talented at the same time!!
How can a man be this charming, handsome and talented at the same time? George Harrison is really beyond words.
I like all the Beatles but George has always been my personal favorite of the Beatles.
Same
His album "All Things Must Pass" blew me away back in 1970! I couldn;t stop playing that album! All four sides were GREAT!
and even today, it's still one of the greatest albums on this planet, in my eye, it's the best. Back in 1970 it was:
*George Harrison:* _All Things Must Pass_
*John Lennon :* _Plastic Ono Band_
*Paul McCartney:* _McCartney_
I didn't buy Ringo's album. I wasn't into that type of music. (Sentimental Journey) But his album RINGO in 1973 truly was " *The Greatest* "
Oh yeh! When he put together that epic benifit show "The Concert for Bangladesh" back in 1971. A great show for a very important cause.
To help the refugees in Bangladesh. George helped his friend Ravi Shankar. George had been deeply moved when Shankar had brought to his attention the plight of millions of starving refugees, in what was formerly East Pakistan, who were suffering the effects of the Bhola cyclone of 1970 and the “Liberation War” in their country. ❤✝✝
Gotta love the girls in the audience start screaming and shrieking the second he says the word "Beatle". No matter where or who they were, the ladies just couldn't resist!
0:37 lol I'd be screaming too
It was a little Beatlemania going on there for bit..
George Harrison was, hands down, the best looking Beatle!
@Janetta Martin
George Harrison was a very wise man and philosopher.
Quotes by GEORGE HARRISON ~ "I'm a musician and I don't know why.
Many people feel that life is predestined.
I think it is vaguely, but it's still up to the person which way your life is going to go."
"The world is a very serious and, at times, very sad place.
But at other times it is all such a joke."
George Harrison ~ "Something very important to say on American Television."
"OK, Cue the clap now!" "Hey!"
Sometimes other people change which way your life is going! Years ago I trained to be a truck driver, learned the job, met many good people , but I get a phone call, and BOOM! Its was an offer for another job which I took. I believe this change was predestined. That was 1985, I'm still at that job. @@raulmacias1311
He sure was! He was in fact, the best looking Beatle.
Love the shirt, love the pants... George Harrison, a class act.
And he was also a Hare Krishna
He was absolutely gorgeous and adorable.
Talented, witty, and handsome as all get out!
Miss him and his gentle spirit so much ❤️.
He’s just so handsome :)
I was thrilled when I first saw this 'George surprise' in '68! He looked so good here. As witty as John, too!
Barbara E. Hunteman he was always known as the “quiet Beatle,” but Tom Petty once said in an Interview that George had a wicked sense of humor and was actually a very funny guy. (Tom and George became good friends during and after the Traveling Wilburys days.)
I too remember watching this when it was first broadcast on TV. Back then, you'd be lucky to see The Beatles or by themselves anywhere
especially TV! Man Ive loved these guys since my sister let me hear "MEET THE BEATLES" on her Stereo back in 1963... I loved it
Then came Ed Sullivan... forget it..I was hook, line and sinker 🤗 That 9 year old boy is now a 67 year old man and Im still hooked
on The Beatles.. And I love all their solo albums: " *ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴍᴜsᴛ ᴘᴀss, ʀᴀᴍ, ɪᴍᴀɢɪɴᴇ, ʀɪɴɢᴏ (𝟷𝟿𝟽𝟹)* 🧡
Maybe John influenced him in more ways than just musically!
How can anybody be that damn cool?? George, you are still THE MAN!!
2016, I still get chills seeing George Harrison
alan dvorkis Aye, what a man eh....what a fuckin man. But em, I'm crying because he's gone.
Appropriate. Be happy for what he left. Perhaps other can learn that you can be famous and still be both giving and humble.
So gorgeous and cute
its 2019 and same
It's 2021 and it's still the same...❤️
His son looks sooooo much like him it's uncanny!!!
True. Keith Richards was interviewed about Dhani and made fun of himself because he kept slipping and calling his "George".
George used to say to Dhani "You look more like me than I do!".
Yeah but George had better hair.
I literally thought he was actually george for a second like HOLY SHI-
Beautiful Georgeous George as my mother used to say :') he still kinda had that timid vibe yet what made him so unique and humble, we still miss you George.
Aw, he still has his snaggly tooth little smile here. I was saddened when years later, he had his teeth capped to look more perfect. Loved the pointy little canines in his younger years. What a cutie pie.
I know right!!! I miss his fangs! They suited him
I've been salty about that for years! It just goes to show that even people as sought-after as George can feel insecure.
he ate too many 'savoy truffles' with eric
@@monoped8437 - Pattie’s nickname
@@jrh11254, be more specific.
He makes me want to get a scouse accent :) The way he says, "Cue the clap, now," is just too adorable!!
George was not only musically talented but had such a GREAT SMILE and easy going personality.
He's so so gorgeous!! The kind of cuteness that literally brings tears to your eyes!
Beyond the coolness factor... Harrison was making an important point with his appearance 1) his point of view on... censorship the recent Nixon election, Vietnam war, etc. "something very important to say.. "whether you can say it, keep trying to say it." 2) the reason he quit the live touring Beatles "cue the applause"
Such a strikingly beautiful man and artist.
George's visit to the oh-so-mod talent agency office in 'Hard Day's Night' is still one of the funniest bits of the movie. His contemptuous slagging of the agency head's so-called hot new female artist is simply priceless.
'My mates and I have a good laugh bashin' her whenever she shows up on the telly!'
We turn the sound down and say rude things.....Did i say something amiss?.........sorry about the shirts
Don't see many of those around these days, do you?
She's a drag. A well-known drag.
Oh, by all means..I'd be quite prepared for that eventuality...
Clayton, when George mistakenly enters an advertising agency office, the ad man mistakes Harrison for a male model. George is asked for his opinion about some new stylish shirt; and he tells them, he wouldn't be caught dead in it. They tell George that he won't meet their spokes model. He tells them, "she's a drag." It's plays funnier than it reads.
SEE THE MOVIE!! 53 years later, it still holds up.
George at 25 - a good-looking fella. People also dressed attractively in the colourful, creative 1960s. Aaaahhhh nostalgia.....
What people always forget about the Beatles (esp. the naysayers & those calling them "Overrated"), is that on top of the memorable music, it was their personalities that appealed to so many. & the Beatles all had a ton of charm.
A lot of bands are really dead from the neck up socially...the Beatles had confidence and personality which Liverpool gave them....if you go to Liverpool most of the residents have great personalities..
He just walks out there and the buzz is amazing. That's charisma.
I'm a 57 your old bloke, why tell me why I cry, everytime I see and listen to George Harrison? Tears again for some reason.
You are my hero
@The Beatles Rule Thanks lol I couldn't chose between the four of them so I chose all of them!
Because when you´re drunk you always tend to cry
Maybe you should change your post name to...Tear Monster!!!!
Maybe because he was really spiritual man, practicing bhakti yoga, or yoga of love....
Hare Krishna!
This was the time right before he went “full hippie look”; he was about 25 years old and still had “cute, boyish” looks. I wish he hadn’t continued to smoke. 😐
All The Beatles except for John I think had their teeth capped or replaced...🤔
All of them were smokers.
This was after, 1967 was the year of all that hippie stuff in them
During this time when George made this guest appearance on The Smother Brothers show, he was in L.A. for about 6-7 weeks working on an album for a new Apple Records artist named Jackie Lomax. George was producing these sessions at the time. George would then spend the rest of 1968 in Woodstock, New York with Bob Dylan and The Band before flying back to England, and the start of the "Get Back/Let It Be" sessions in January, 1969.
George was also on friendly terms with Donovan who was the special guest star on this show.
And it was this get together with Dylan and The Band, where they told George how much they liked Ringo's song, Don't Pass Me Buy, off the recently released White Album. George said that song was 'their scene'. More country flavored, rustic tinged. I bet this endorsement made Ringo feel pretty good.
Thanks for filling in that brief historical blank for me!
What misery!
George was summoned, back to England, by the drill sergeant James Paul McCartney because he had HIS batch of new songs and a concept on how to record them!
John was smacked out on Heroin with his mum, the homewrecker, he worshipped Yoko Ono!
John had no material of any value.
George tolerated John always criticising his new songs when he offered up crap like "Dig A Pony" and "Dig It"!
All I can is I empathized with George. He should have stayed in Woodstock until the Spring!
@Hank Hendrix
Established by whom?
YOU?
You sound like a name calling little girl!
Let me guess, since you won't get to the point, you're another Paul McCartney groupie! Right? And I hurt your feelings.
Too bad pal.
What are you, a Fascist who doesn't believe in Free Speech?
I can't even express how much I LOVE George's look in '68. It's incredible.
From 68-71, he looked divine... almost supernatural...
George had the best hair out of all the Beatles.
Paul had a good display of hair...yup Paul was blessed with fantastic hair in his youth..
It was jet black like Elvis’s
Yeah, like a fuckin' turban, as they would say.
"Ladies and gentlemen, mister George Harrison!"
Me: starts fangirl-style squealing as the girls in the audience scream.
Me: *freaks out even though I wasn't even born yet*
@Wayne Pitty Thanks for that date!
Never caught this when aired but now in 2022 my eyes are leaking. Isn’t George a delight. RIP George and John
George was so beautiful inside and out. My heart still skips a beat even after all these years ..........que to screams NOW!!!
Oh my gosh! There’s no one like George Harrison when it comes to cuteness, gorgeousness, handsomeness etc etc etc❤️❤️❤️miss him so much, rest in peace beautiful man!
I've said it before I'll say it again, GEORGE was really the cute one! His smile is so incredibly infectious! ^^ Such a beautiful boy!
It’s 2020 and I still get chills seeing this sweet George Harrison. When he appeared I got teary-eyed. 😭❤️ He’s perfect and very handsome. ☀️
George still drawing screams from the ladies...I see why now
He was a handsome dude 🌷R.I.P.
Aw, he's so adorable! I knew about the quiet, contemplative, brooding George. No matter, I love George Harrison in all his beingness. :)
tygrl Tom Petty once said in an interview that George was actually very funny and had a wicked sense of humor. I also know that George was a huge Python fan.
George Harrison was always my favorite Beatle, from the very first time I laid eyes on them in early 1964. Loved him then and love him still. Died way too young. sigh...
Each Beatle had such a great sense of humour.
He was such a good guy our George.........sorely missed.
The audience reaction is what makes this clip. The excited squeal when Tommy says "I have a Beatle" -- then the moans when they figure the Smothers Brothers are setting them up for some sort of gag -- and finally the shrieks of astonishment and pure joy when one of The Gods actually strolls onto the stage. Great clip!
That brief moment of silence as the audience realises what Tom just said is perfect.
Leftover Beatle mania!
@@andyrudy8627 - Beatlemania never really disappeared.
Ah, if only George would've sung While My Guitar Gently Weeps, the acoustic version. How sweet that would have been. Still, great to see him on the Smothers Bros.
If they could have gotten back together, say, in 1983....the roar of the first arena audience when the curtains opened would have been a few decibels.
Whatta guy George always was; quite the lad. And the guitar chords he came up with? MOST impressive, young Harrison...most impressive.
I would love to just touch and pet George Harrison's hair it's just so cute and fuzzy, he's just so lovely and sweet, I love him very much!!!!! He's like a really big teddy bear to me!!!
It’s 2021 and I STILL felt the excitement!
Ruffles and a leather jacket! Only a Beatle could pull that off. George was so sweet, and cute!
Trust me, he gave me some fashion inspiration there! 🥰
George was so cute, sweet, and funny. I was laughing the whole time! :D
Holy gosh I love his clothes and style here
In this clip, George was 24-years-old. A millionaire. And (arguably) in the best rock band ever. What a life!
arguably? are you kidding?
George tenía 25 años de edad.
Well so far they are the greatest band ever. They were so unique and original. They changed music forever.
Yeah Yeah Yeah !@@maumm5188
Apparently, George was at the right place at the right time.
the entire time george was on the screen, i was smiling like crazy
I did that when I saw it in 1968, and I was 15. Now I'm 68 and I still smiled, but the tears also flowed. The soul of The Beatles.
i was smiling too because of the puffy shirt, reminded me of seinfeld
If you've got something important to say, even though they shut you down, keep trying to say it. Thanx, George!!! You inspire us still. His work & his songs are comforting, helpful, & ease the mind amidst a wide world of crazy, especially now.
I was 9 years old and watching that very evening. So excited to talk about it at the bus stop the next morning.
That's pretty cool.
the cutest guy and the best beatle in American Television I ever see
Everything everything just charming , smart, about this guy
he was such a beautiful man :) i love him very much, and miss him too. and his sense of style.
Both John & Paul were amazed at the talent of George Harrison even at age 14, he was an excellent guitar player & was asked to join their band,The Quarrymen even though he was so young.
He was a remarkable man and musician. His last words in this world were: "Love one another."
... and we should.
ALL the great bands had a secret weapon: Led Zeppelin had John Paul Jones, The Rolling Stones had Charlie Watts, The Kinks had Dave Davies, Pink Floyd had Rick Wright and of course The Beatles had George Harrison. Also, he wrote the two best songs on the final Beatle's album Abbey Road - "Here Comes The Sun" and "Something."
And since they only allowed him to have two songs per album, when the beatles were finished, he had a double-album worth of material ready to go. Songs on that album that were turned down by the beatles included: My Sweet Lord, What is Life, Isn't It a Pity, and All Things Must Pass. It was number 1 on charts around the world.
According to Colin Larkin, writing in the 2011 edition of his Encyclopedia of Popular Music, All Things Must Pass is "generally rated" as the best of all the former Beatles' solo albums.
Not bad for the "quiet Beatle".
harlon57 "All things Must Pass" is without a doubt the best Beatles solo album.
+harlon57 "Isn't It A Pity" was a masterpiece! Amazing, isn't it, that The Beatles rejected that song for LET IT BE but okayed "For You Blue"?
RAM was the best solo album
George Orr George is an acquired taste like the savoy truffle.
George Harrison, what a freakin legend
George is THE GOAT..greatest ever❤ he was sooo gorgeous. miss you George.
R.I.P.
I like to pretend he's still here
Amazing watching this and comparing it to 1964. George's confidence grows so much. He's truly lovely then and here.
He's so precious 💜
A great sense of fashion and a great sense of humor. "Que the claps... now!" We all love you George!
George was gorgeous ❤️.
Still can't believe he's not with us
So long ago and yet it seems like yesterday.
Georgasm!!!!!!!!! He makes me crazy!!!!!! He's sooooo so so so so so so so cute!!!!!! I almost died!!!!!!!! He's such a wonderful person too.
Yes!!!!! He was sooooo unbelievable juicy & sexy as fuck, I have no words.
I'm obsessed with the word Georgasm now, thank you
He was also a Hare Krishna! Don't forget, that's his secret for being so cool
He is like drugs to me...😍🥰
Words don't describe how much I miss George :(
Love this video. I am a Smothers Brothers fan and I adore George. Like his humor here too.
Just a shout out to another Tony Hicks/George Harrison fan!! So fitting that their sons had their own band together.
Grew up watching the SB's. I was almost 6 in '68...always loved George's smile and shy ways.
So charming...love his outfit...what a handsome man...Encantador y guapo!!
An incredible musician and human!!!
WOW HOW GORGEOUS HE WAS. MY FAVORITE BEATLE
I just can't say bad things about aby of the Beatles, they were all human beings with virtues and faults... and none of us have really met them, so...
George was indeed my favourite one, so polite, kind and nice, always knew what to say, and how. And of course, he was the sexy one... so misterious, with his gorgeous eyebrows and expresions, and his wavy hair :P I just can't stop looking at him ! Rest in peace George, I miss you everyday... Thanks for giving us your beautiful music.
i love his teeth. he's like a vampire.
Hes like a vampire,but a good looking vampire
@Janetta Martin Glad I'm not the only one
Ascendant Scorpio-the mysterious beatle.
And he was also a Hare Krishna!
Obviously, English is secondary to you.
This is so cool. The people in that audience were so lucky! 😁
He really was the coolest Beatle
Yes, George had the cutest smile in the world.
he was really handsome!!
Happy birthday George, we miss you!! :(
Beatles fans love all of the Beatles. We never put one over the other. God-bless them all. BTW, The Smothers Brothers Show was always very cool to check out. God-bless them, as well!
The vast majority of Beatles fans love all the Beatles, but that doesn't mean a lot of us don't have favorites. No criticism expressed or implied for those that don't, but it's important not to overgeneralize. Lots of variation in the Beatles fan community.
@larry saunders I was hoping someone would give a shout out to the brothers Smothers. Loved those guys and their show when I was growing up. They had a great comedy schtick together and always had great guests on their show. The video of Tommy on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson where he comes out and does a great impersonation of Carson is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. th-cam.com/video/oghxf-HS6go/w-d-xo.html
I can’t explain why but whenever I see any of the Beatles, old footage I’ve seen a million times or things I’ve never seen, it feels like I’m watching video of my kids or my family.
Me too. They feel like home to me. And somehow, have always been familiar, even from the very first times I saw or heard them. I'm 43, so I'm not from the same time as them. It's some kind of magic(dream away..). I love them so much. They are my heart and soul💜
George Harrison was and still is such an amazing human being. Very funny guy.
Just the utterance "Beatle," and screams start. What a time to be alive....
This was a great interview. I love his clapping, and his cues. It was great. Lots of George eye candy to look at. :D
Makes me want to name my first born, 'Harrison'. Oh, wait - I did.
George will always be remembered as one of the very few best artist in music!! :)
how could anyone this... George is so adorable.
I'm big fan of Harrison's work (either with or without the Beatles) and I was never aware he appeared on this show. Thanks for posting this! After seven years- I'm still lamenting his demise from cancer. The "Quiet Mystic" left us far too early.
Long time ago when he was fab.
Always was my fave!! and yes.. he was amazingly adorable!!! Love him!
gosh!! how can a man be so sexy and at the same time be so cute?!
Haha, I like this. Especially the audience's reaction in the beginning at the announcement. George has a very cool sense of humor.
Harrison forever.
And George had a great with just like john and he never let two big egos like john and Paul get the best of him and I know when John passed away George must of have been very sad and he wrote the song for John all those years ago great song.that was and Elton John wrote empty garden for John a fantastic song as well it's too ban that Elton John did not write a song for George it would have been fantastic wherever you are in heaven you will always be loved and missed you where a magical person in your own right you are happy in paradise the world is forever greatfull to you. you brought happiness to many of you fans a lot of joy your music was the soundtrack to many peoples life's you where one of the greatest rock stars of all time and you have worked with the best like Eric Clapton Bob Dylan Tom petty Jeff Lynn of course ringo Elton John and of course the late great John Lennon the late great Billy Preston and sir Paul McCartney and many others you.guys must of had a blast in the studio you made your guitar sing your guitar playing was unforgettable no one will ever be like you!!
