Dean Martin Arrives a Little Tuned Up | Carson Tonight Show

Not only was it written by the great Leigh Brackett, who wrote The Big Sleep and The Empire Strikes Back, but it has to be one of the few western movies where they actually carry around boxes of shells and reload their guns.

[@kskisser]

Much of it was an act but during this time of Dean's life you never knew which Dean was going to show up. Johnny wasn't just playing along here...Dean was, in fact, sloshed a great deal. After his son died Dean's drinking went into overdrive.

@KevinJohnson-hy4oc Foster Brooks was my favorite. When he called Telly Savalas "Telly Saliva" I remember rolling off the couch laughing so hard 🤣!

[@KevinJohnson-hy4oc]

@@collette9008 Foster was so incredibly talented. One time he was doing a performance on the "Tonight Show", teetering about as he rambled on to the audience in his usual drunken gibberish, and as usual I was wondering, how could that possibly be an act? And then he bowed, the audience applauded, and, instantly sober now, he strode smartly over to sit beside Johnny, and the two had a perfectly normal conversation together! There are a few hillarious skits with him and Dean Martin together on KZbin, too.

[@kenzierocks1240]

I never missed the opportunities either and rewatching them just takes me to another place in time, just for a little while. Brings back so many great memories of watching with my parents or grandparents. I miss those days. I miss my loved ones, Johnny Carson, the Rat Pack, and Dean Martin/his roasts. They’re never too old to watch over and over so I appreciate that we have the good fortune to watch as many times as we like! I just miss it all.

Here's what his daughter, Deanne said about his drinking to the LA Times: The truth of the matter, she said, was her father was swigging apple juice and not liquor when he performed. "He would be home for dinner every night," Martin said. "He would come home, and he and mom would have their one cocktail at the bar. He was kind. He was so different from what everybody thought he was. There was no one who could do Dean Martin better than Dean Martin."

Dean is a national treasure! Side note, so apparently Arnold Schwarzenegger used to have an office building he rented out to celebs, movie directors etc and Johnny was a tenant, he said in real life Johnny was super serious and talked about politics and real issues of the day and never really any comedy.
