Frank was always a classy man. Influential and made a big statement when he refused to honor a hotel with his patronage when they wouldn't let Sammy Davis stay there due to segregation at the time.

Now that is real comedy, with friendship and respect 😻

Dean's variety show was funny as hell too. He slid down the pole and up on to the piano ...Every Body ... Classic

Mann! It was SO GOOD SEEING all these people again!! They had Orson Wells and Peter Falk up there for goodness sake!! These tines seemed so much simpler back then (I guess so sine I was a kid! 😊) - just your TV set (w\only 7 channels!); no X or INSTAGRAM and all that noise surrounding your head... I miss these times AND PEOPLE! Such a marvelous video - thanks for having this up on KZbin! ❤👍

Dean Martin was a very special human being. He put Italian culture on display better than anyone in any industry. And proved why it's without question the best on planet earth.

Thanks for watching.

I remember watching these roasts when originally aired; they were major events. TV then was heavily censured, but they still found prases & ways to insinuate their scathing dirty jokes (but no profanity). Hollywood's golden age of celebrities. I've loved roasts ever since.

[@patsmith6016]

This is my favorite show of all time, I still love to watch it. These guys were great at what they did, I don't think they will ever be another show like this one!!!

[@marianoscaglione5642]

My lutenant Colombo, I wouldn't lose one single one of his series. Sunday afternoons 2pm sitting by myself. What great memories.💥🇺🇸🙏❤💯💙💯🙏🇺🇸💥

[@minisinthehallshorts]

They don't make them like Peter Falk anymore. Complete comedy genius!

[@prajnachan333]

This takes me back, all of these great personalities, so funny. They're all gone but here they were vibrant alive people, as real as we are now. But they are forever. Existence is so creative, everyone is so unique, amazing. Great to see you all, wonderful memories.

[@johnsmith2221]

Even just talking Frank has a cool voice.

[@4321Kathyb]

All these great entertainers. No others like them in our lifetime. Class acts! Loved watching them growing up. Saw a few of them.
