Danny Kaye on The Court Jester and UNICEF 1971

[@magoo9767]

A strange but wonderful man, one of the great entertainers of his day.

[@scotnick59]

Most geniuses are a bit on the strange side with few exceptions

[@Micalla77]

We need Danny back with us. Love you Danny and always will.

[@lenhummel5614]

Danny was definitely one of the most multi-talented human beings to ever grace the planet and humanity .

[@mcfly3510]

What a humble guy It stands for what it is that he was voted to get the price for UNICEF

[@StephanieJ777]

Wow two of my favorite people talking about the most important things! ❤️❤️

There's an incredible episode of Cavett with Danny Kaye, who had a broken leg but was still starring in "Two By Two." The guest following Danny Kaye was Julie (Catwoman/My Living Doll/Stupefyin' Jones) Newmar, who walked past the sitting, sprawled out Kaye. (Remember, broken leg.) Danny did a dumbfounded double take and sat/sprawled with a stupefied look on his and didn't move for at least 5 minutes, an eternity on television. And no one could stop laughing.

A wonderful talented man who gave his life to help children in crisis, most actors today are lost in money, more Instagram followers, drugs, ego.

[@Ozmulki]

A great man and human being who did so much for children.

[@acalia_sariah]

He had immeasurable talent! Marvelous entertainer in every way!🙌 What I love so much is that, that's not all he was. He was an incredible and loving man.🥰🥺 Danny, we need you back!

[@martinvienna6813]

Danny was so entertaining and such a wonderful person. And a UNICEF Ambassador too...

[@charlottearaki7104]

Watching Danny the only person who compares is Robin Williams. Same lighting wit but a pervasive melancholy. That is their public persona at any rate. Loved them both. ❤️

[@judyt814]

A lovely man. Terrific interview. But where's the rest of it?

[@Camop-iz9kt]

He was an expert pilot, and was a close friend of Bill Lear, of Learjet.

🙏♥️

[@Klaudija72]

Do you have the whole episode? If so I would love to see the whole episode when Danny Kaye was the guest.

[@lenhummel5614]

The two people I most admire out of Hollywood are the magnificent Audrey Hepburn and the wonderful Danny Kaye.

[@victoriaodegaard1]

I wholeheartedly agree. The two most wonderful people were both longtime workers for UNICEF. Beautiful.

[@cherbert359]

Court jester would always be my favorite

[@nondescript2892]

Is it me or is Cavett giving all the "swinging" nonsense in the beginning as a very specific Danny Kaye inside double entendre....Kaye looks uncomfortable enough with it😁

[@zoedean1452]

nondescript I think Danny felt dick was being rather ridiculous claiming he could swing all the time without stopping and frankly, I think he was too. I don’t blame Danny for looking at him like “I call BS” lol

[@robyntattersall236]

Zoë Dean .. I agree .. my instant reaction was please stop this irrelevant story about yourself and let’s hear from Danny

[@sdkelmaruecan2907]

I grew up in the 80s and 90s and I remember all these UNICEF ads when I was a child, I hated images of suffering children and one of these commercials is still haunting me today...

[@bradleycotton3237]

Great chattering chick-chicks! He didn’t mention _Peter Cottontail!_

[@1965MJW]

What an awful interviewer Dick Cavett was...all about him. There's no sense of joy or pleasure in being in the company of such a multi-talented icon. Why did he even bother inviting him on? Aside from that, Danny Kaye is charming, pleasant, intelligent, informative and entertaining. A superb professional. We have never seen his like since he sadly died far too soon. 'The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!'

[@graveeverystep]

I was coming here to say the same thing. That guy is the worst interviewer. But seems as if Danny handled it well by staring at him.
