There was another Don Rickles - an NBC staff announcer on the West Coast from 1950 until his death in 1985 who, because of this Don Rickles, would formalize his name by the '70's to Donald Rickles.
I attended a taping of Hullabaloo at NBC's Brooklyn Studio on Avenue M. This was in December of 1965. I was almost 11 years old. The show was the first episode of Hullabaloo to air in 1966 in early January. The host was Roger Smith (Ann-Margret's husband). The musical guests were the Ramsey Lewis Trio, Lesley Gore singing in a prerecorded segment, and the Beatles, performing in a segment they had filmed in color in England. England did have color television yet, but by now they were using color film for anything that was going to air in the U.S. I was in that hot studio for hour while they recorded segment after segment, then did it again because the director said there was some type of mistake that only he was able to set took almost 3 hours to get enough footage to put together a half hour show. Personally, I was far more interested in everything going in that studio aside from the performances. I couldn't get my eyes off of those massive RCA TK41's. Every so often my eyes would dart up to the monitors suspended above and just in front of the seats where the audience sat. I kept marveling at how fantastic the color was. I finally got to watch the finished program when it aired right after New Years Day, 1966. However, I had to watch it in black and white as we didn't get our first color TV until later that month.
I knew ave M fairly well, I lived 2 blocks away. Saturday Night live did some shows from the NBC studio there in the 70's and the Cosby Show in the 80's. Thanks for posting!!
This must of been one of the last of NBC's productions to use the TK-41, since the succeeding TK-44A (a definite improvement over the 41s mainly due to its newer plumbicon tubes, as opposed to the 41's orthicons) would be released by RCA and in use by NBC in '68--the network had upgraded their TK-41s in Rockefeller Center to 44As later that year.
I really do think the audio was dubbed-in later. I don't believe that reliable enough wireless remote microphone systems had been invented yet by 1968. And if you listen closely, there's not really that much traffic noise or ambient noise. Even if they had been using a parabolic-dish microphone aimed at Don, it still would pick up all the car engines and subway noises. This is still a fascinating video regardless, because you get to see the limitations or the technology from those days, and how the overall programming material is still effective for the times.
Mid 80’s miss those days, I read your comment and remembered walking into all those stores. Oh don’t forget Atteliers pharmacy on the corner of East 15th st
Breukelen , birthplace of Dutch actor Rutger Hauer , near Utrecht , Brooklyn has New Utrecht , and Boswijk , Bushwick , all Dutch and lots more in NY .
The 1967-'71 edition of "THE KRAFT MUSIC HALL" {Wednesdays, 9pm(et)} was essentially a series of "weekly specials" [with occasional "regular" performers]- this episode was "Don Rickles' Brooklyn", the second telecast of the second season.
See the "FUNNY GIRL" poster on the subway platform. Wonder if Rickles originally mentioned Barbra Streisand in a take or two! Streisand ... who of course is more Brooklyn than the late comedian, born in Jackson Heights, Queens.
avenue m has certainly changed over the years ..........for the worst ; beautiful people walking around back then , real brooklynites .........go there now and see whats walking around
"What’s waking around” today are mostly Orthodox Jews. Who lived there in the 1940s, '50s, ‘60s, ‘70s, etc? Jews. Don Rickles was Jewish. The building behind the kids playing stickball was an Orthodox yeshiva - at the time. So I assume you mean that the beautiful people were Jewish. Right?

Plenty of times on that D Express, riding past Avenue M on the way to First Baptist Church in Sheepshead Bay!

A cool and diverse neighborhood! Gotta luv it.

You are correct sir

Remarkable sound for an outdoor video of the time.
There's a slight echo to everything, implying it was overdubbed in a studio afterwards.
RKramden77 The echo you're hearing is the reverb used on NBC's Kraft Music Hall television show. This was not overdubbed.
+Hank Hayes (Hank And Jim) Yeah live audio for sure.

Wow Avenue M back in the day. I remember Consumers, Pete's Pizza, Estroffs, New Bend, Caravelle and the annual Marti Gras street fair.

wow the video and audio is beautiful!

I notice the prices. And how clean the sidewalk, till Don Rickles littered it. The marquee starring Zero Mostel in "The Producers"....
This is great!

Not the season premiere? NBC Week was September 15--21....
take the caption down after 30 seconds or so, huh?
3:36 - "Here Kid..." Here's my half-eaten hot dog with some of my famed Rickles saliva still on the bun". Eat hardy! That was a strange moment.
Because back then people werent germaphobes like today.
Does the full recording of this program exist, or only the clip?

See the "FUNNY GIRL" poster on the subway platform. Wonder if Rickles originally mentioned Barbra Streisand in a take or two! Streisand ... who of course is more Brooklyn than the late comedian, born in Jackson Heights, Queens.
Oh, and the lip-smacking and seeing Don littering all over Brooklyn....
