Elton John on Morecambe and Wise TV-Show (1977)

[@je7887]

Priceless, brilliant, not to be repeated!

[@TheBarnem13]

Still works today brilliant

[@janmcdonald3896]

This is classic!

[@rush7777me7777]

Mr Wise had the funniest and cutest smile

[@janmcdonald3896]

So true

[@lilliansmith5078]

Yes, I never liked him when I was younger but can see now how nice he is..was.

[@khmerwolf1]

Ha classic! Elton always had a good sense of humour

[@ElvarMasson]

He still does

[@brendalg4]

This is the best acting I have seen from Elton. (Better than SNL etc) It looks natural. His other appearances have looked forced imo

[@naly202]

Wow, Elton John could have been a good comedian as well.

[@MaskedMan66]

"Could have been?" He is, and has been for ages.

[@naly202]

@@MaskedMan66 , I only know him for his lovely songs.

[@MaskedMan66]

What about the outfits he used to wear in the 1970's and early 80's? And his guest star turn on "The Muppet Show." And for that matter, there's this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4fVg3eBoL-fjbc

[@karmafrog1]

His bit on Will and Grace several years back was HI-larious. He just about stole the Kingsman movie too.

[@svetlanaminasyan3454]

Elton is the best!!! 😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@dunruden9720]

The first time I saw this woke me up to the fact that Elton is NOT actually a short-arse!!

[@shojinryori]

I was just thinking the same thing!

[@brainwaiver1]

Same with Tom Jones who appeared on M&W and is taller than Morecombe who was quite tall. I am Wise's height determined at an airport meeting with him in '74. Hence, I'm short at 5'8''.

[@ytnsanw]

Big platform shoes. Pretty sure he's 5'7" to 5' 8"...

[@tomkent4656]

He's wearing his Tommy boots!

[@MrClitheroe]

Classic !

[@catweasle5737]

@3:32 they clashed heads by mistake. The all did a good job not to crack up. Ernie did a bit at the back.

[@djmips]

First on screen kiss?

[@TheodoreTwinkletoes]

This looks like 1973 or 74

[@nomoremister]

Elton's doing a lot of nose scratching between 2:17 and 3:00. Just sayin'.

[@PositivelyPam]

Well yeah, Rocketman doesn't shy away from his coke addiction so that's no big surprise.

[@blagger42]

Well observed

[@PhilUKNet]

Watford vs Luton

[@mylesjordan9970]

He’s doing a spoof on Glenn Gould with the fingerless gloves; that’s probably his own idea

[@NipponKiwi]

How come Elton has more hair now than he did in 1977?

[@sofiamarialoverso5885]

Rosco ever heard of wigs?

[@adrianamorejon5402]

Rosco he got hair implants in the late 80’s

[@dunruden9720]

Money!!

[@vogelfrau2425]

Strange

[@VolumedMusicMan]

Are you sure this is 1977? He had long hair in the back that year...

[@youtubeviewer7030]

this is christmas 1976 the long haired episode was christmas 1977

[@abbiedabido]

does anyone know what the two songs are called that they are singing

[@theswiftandsteadfastunicor4249]

The song is called "Play a simple melody" and the version that came up when I searched it was by Bing Crosby. :)

[@abbiedabido]

thank you

[@mikepannell2034]

The Swift and Steadfast Unicorn of Love lo

[@ramyarmany]

Elton john is short how he looks tall here ?🤔

[@MaskedMan66]

He's 5'8", Ernie Wise was 5'5", and Eric Morecambe was 5'9".

[@dotspot5847]

Check out the heels on his shoes.

[@MaskedMan66]

Funnily enough, he and Dua Lipa are the same height, but in a recent pic I saw, she seemed to tower over him.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

1:46 LOL

[@leilanirocks]

Elton more recently had a turn on Will & Grace as a sort of… mafioso… that was hilarious. 😂

[@xavierdallenmusicuniverse6304]

3:30-3:33

[@xavierdallenmusicuniverse6304]

3:54 Lmao

[@jfhm1991]

He keeps touching his nose because it's tickling and running because he just would've snorted a crapload of cocaine. He'd have it literally right before walking onstage

[@livb6945]

Not this early. By this time he still made an effort not to take any before going on stage. Later, in the 80's, he was on drugs om stage. The difference is obvious if you check it out.

[@ggmm6182]

Who cares

[@WendywdjnyJ]

😂😂 wearing his then football team colours 😂
