Allen & Rossi

Marty Allen & Steve Rossi doing a golf skit in the Hollywood Palace on March 21st, 1964.

This never ceases to be funny. Every time I watch it, it's funny. Classic humor -- simple, relatable, silly, lovable.

[@mehitablestorm8877]

Wow, some great dancing from Marty!!! Such a simple line "Hello dere" but I still remember it over 50 years later!

[@marmaly]

"Hello Dere" was a major catch phrase.

[@jrnfw4060]

Marty, you're the epitome of cuteness.

[@TexasTurbo1950]

RIP Marty Allen....just watched a great episode of "The Big Valley" he guest started in!

Titled “Jonah.”

[@jondunmore4268]

Wow, that last Russian dance move was spectacular! He retained it for so long, with such precision!

[@DerBingle1]

Marty Allen was still performing when he was 89! Amazing.

[@jrnfw4060]

Part of that was due to Karon taking good care of him and forcing him to eat nutritiously (he didn't always comply), to exercise and stay in shape. If you compare earlier pictures of Marty, he did seem to slim down a bit later in his life. His genuine love of life also helped contribute to his boundless energy, plus, he was wired that way. He didn't seem to have an "off" switch. When you love what you're doing, it keeps you youthful in spirit and that helps keep you younger in body. It's all interconnected. Age is really only a number.

So long, Marty and Steve. We loved ya!

We loved ya madly ,,,,,Steve and Marty,,,!!!

Couldn't stand them. Still not funny 60 years later.

[@jrnfw4060]

LOVED? Past tense? We STILL love them both.

[@duke40229]

I can't believe anybody has not made a comment about Allens dance moves at the end. That's what they do today and everybody goes crazy over.

[@AgnosticProle]

Rest in peace mr. Allen.

Shirley'sBoy4ever, they don't make them like him any more. RIP Mr. Allen.

It's terrific even hearing the cameraman laugh around 1:15

[@jettrink7510]

Live was good.

[@diddymuck]

one wonders how come Marty is so pudgy when he can do that wild acrobatic dance number!!

[@rangerdave1973]

RIP mr. Rossi

[@CuffColl]

Fun. There are a couple of quite risqué moments for '64 in there, if you listen closely enough. CuffColl.

[@johnreichard6698]

Yes a great duo. Funny

[@mewmew32]

Is this date wrong? The Nat King Cole show referenced in one of the jokes was only on 1956-1957, no? Unless there's another layer to that joke I'm not getting....

[@mewmew32]

mewmew32 In fact the date listed here would be hardly a month after Cole's death, I think that would be in pretty poor taste...

[@mdumas43073]

Cole was hosting the Hollywood Palace episode this clip was taken from.

[@mdumas43073]

@@mewmew32 The episode is from March 21, 1964. Cole died February 15, 1965.

M CK well why don't you stick with cartoons

[@WinslowLeach1974]

I wonder which one got the most chicks?

[@jrnfw4060]

I'll bet a lot of girls were mad about both of them. Marty had been happily married since 1960, and I assume was off limits. I don't know Steve's status at that time. If he had been available, I would lay my money on Marty having gotten the most chicks. But neither of them would have been lonely for very long. They were a very appealing pair.

[@fosbury68]

This is the kind of schlock "comedy" that Carlin and Pryor destroyed - forever.

[@mrzoperxplex]

These two did not last long.

[@thegringobandito6346]

mrzoperxplex 🚨Didnt last long you say? I just watched Jerry Jerry Lewis tribute to them and he said that they were around 25 years. probably longer actually😵 that's two and a half times longer then Martin and Lewis. 😒Albert Einstein you're no rocket scientist!😱💣
