I simply cannot get enough of Ethel Merman singing this duet!!! Her little dance drives me crazy!!!!! More Merman!

Wow! What a time capsule of 1960s pop culture, all wrapped up in one neat little hour-long package! I don't remember ever watching _Hollywood Palace_ as a child (maybe it was on past my bedtime?), but Jimmy Durante, Ethel Merman, and the Lennon Sisters were all mainstays of many different variety shows that I saw growing up, and I love The Grass Roots! Also so much fun to see a very young Rob Reiner pre-Meathead days, and I thought his comedy skit with Larry Bishop was very clever! I enjoyed all the other acts as well -- great show!

[@harrisfoster1066]

Loved the Grass Roots.....many hits.....

[@carolynderricks3226]

What a great mingling of very different generations of talent!

Watched this with my Grandmother when parents would go out...Im the only one of my friends to remember it. What a great show, you never knew who would be on! LOVE that the clips include the original commercials!!!

The Berosinis were awesome,thanks for sharing this show i was only a few months old when this show aired.looking forward to the other episodes,kind of cool to see celebs in their younger days

[@vogelfrau2425]

Wie gut das Lied 'Yesterday' zu Jimmy Durante gepasst hat. Er hat dieser bravourösen Beatles Hymne Sinn eingehaucht. Tja, yesterday

[@TonyGPizza]

Those Berosini ladies...my, my, my. Thanks for this and PLEASE, more Hollywood Palace shows. It ran six years so there HAS to be more out there!

[@95KIPPIE]

Ethel and Jimmy were so close. It goes all the way back to when she was discovered. They remain close up until the end

[@jadezee6316]

one of music greatest singers ever...and the guy who tony bennett said he wished he could sing as good as him....the answer? Jimmy Durante!

[@edwardanthony7283]

You may remember jimmy Durante as the narrator in frosty the snowman in 1969 on cbs.

[@rickyrydell]

Larry Bishop and Rob Reiner completely tanked!

[@SuperBeachbum74]

Cree Bratton of “ the Office “ left on guitar, lol

[@randyrogers4119]

I think Hellzapoppin was my favorite Jimmy Durante performance of all time.

[@rufust.firefly2474]

Health Department Will certainly not a film starring Jimmy Durante and the Broadway show was headed up by Olsen and Johnson. I've heard that show was performed with other comedians starring, I think Yuri Lewis revived it once if you want to call him a comedian, but I never heard that Durante performed and a version of the show. It is impossible that you saw a live performance is it? I know the film starring Olsen and Johnson but there's no theatrical release with Durante, so what are you referring to? I'd love to know the answer

[@CoCotheTurtle]

@@rufust.firefly2474 Are you serious? It is the first number of the show! It starts at 2:12

[@kevinvanmeter2264]

[@davidcoyle1084]

Well, Rob, Warren and Rick weren't in a highly popular TV sitcom just a couple years ago. ;-)

[@Johnnycdrums]

Hahaaa, Ethel doin' Nancy Sinatra moves.

[@ms-vv2gg]

Rob Reiner's father is Jerry Lewis?

[@myfirstlovesong]

Carl Reiner is his father

[@c.a.g.3130]

CREED!!

[@garst59]

Multi-tracking killed The Lennon Sisters' career.

[@streetcarjay]

There's Meathead!

[@Arthur_McGowan]

In order to look good in 1960's clothes, a man had to have skinny, perfectly straight legs. Watch the dancers.

[@bmbutler2]
