It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World CBS 12 31 76 Intro and Bumpers

[@kyokogodai-ir6hy]

I am pretty sure this was on the television, at my Uncle David's house, that night. Always watched Guy Lombardo on New Year's Eve, until he passed away, too. I miss those days so very much. Thanks for sharing this.

[@leebrown1959]

Alan Arkin passed away yesterday. Excellent actor - RIP.

[@briansumner6439]

Oh yeah I remember those nights. I was only 7 years old back in 1976 and my mom will stay up late watching those late night movies on CBS especially on Friday nights. Thanks for putting this video on KZbin y’all I appreciate it.

[@maryexstroughtonaire4244]

I saw this! I stayed up past my bedtime to see it!

December 31st 1976, The Day Stumpers And 50 Grand Slam On NBC Daytime Went Off The Air

[@martinrojas2737]

End of the year

[@kinnonmack8662]

MOLDY HOSES! I watched this very broadcast that night on OUR CBS affiliate. I baby sat my little 2 year old brother that night, and I can even remember my snack; Pillsbury biscuits with Parkay "Squeeze" and Maple syrup...I ate em all.

[@thomasamo3135]

Kinnon Mack that just totally made my night!!!

[@codychristopher3744]

That's sounds good and that's pretty cool too

[@AllRequired]

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad... *WOOORRRLLLDDD!!!*

[@QuirkZone]

I remember this broadcast. I was six years old.

[@vividwatch47]

"It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" has the distinction of being the only feature film to air on all then three television networks (the last time on A.B.C. in the Summer of '79).

[@mikejohnson9852]

Actually "The Wizard of Oz" was shown on CBS, NBC and the WB Network

[@MayorMcCheeseStalker]

@@mikejohnson9852 But vividwatch47 specifically stated the "then three networks," meaning the only entertainment networks around back then --- the BIG three, NBC, CBS, and ABC.

[@AllRequired]

@@mikejohnson9852 Was it shown on ABC?

[@codychristopher3744]

@@MayorMcCheeseStalker oh yeah that's true if you were in lucky to lived around The Bigger Cities Area like Chicago , Los Angeles, New York City, And Washington DC you would also had The Local Independent Stations As Well but for The others City's and Other Towns they mostly carried The Big Three Networks of NBC, ABC, And CBS from There Local TV Stations.

[@LaurenLover81]

Just a couple hours later, Guy Lombardi would throw his final New Year's Eve program before passing sometime in 1977.

[@amightysailingman]

I was a Guy Lombardo kid on New Year's Eves. Then New Year's Rockin' Eve came along and it was decent in its early years. By the 80s, it was old hat, though. And it basically wasn't worth watching anymore even before Dick Clark passed away.

[@AllRequired]

I was more interested in Happy New Year, America on CBS (Andy Williams and later Al Jarreau). Looked very much like it was designed for the older crowds.

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

@Christopher Hagee He died November 5, 1977, age 75, born June 19, 1902.

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

Mr. Lombardo died November 5, 1977 at age 75. I was only 14, but remember hearing of it.

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

@Christopher Hagee Thanks for the info. Being a youngster, I leaned toward Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. How many years after Guy Lombardo's death did the Royal Canadians have a New year's Eve show?

[@kijekuyo9494]

Like many of you, I remember this broadcast. It was amazing to hear that music again and see the spinning chrome CBS letters. It seems as if it were another lifetime.

[@Classicguy66]

I remember this broadcast. I had just turned 10 years old. It was the very first time I saw it.

[@StukInBuf]

Two and a half years after this(July 1979), the "Mad Mad Mad Mad World" flick would air on *The ABC Sunday Night Movie.*

[@AllRequired]

Listing all of the players...

[@StukInBuf]

After that movie and all appropriate promos and the "Thisa is CBS" v/o, I could imagine Jim Jensen and Rolland Smith with the "Coming up next on Channel 2 News" teaser...

[@topenddean]

LOVE IT!

[@steveprestegard5151]

I watched this. First time I laughed so hard I got a headache.

[@kinnonmack8662]

Brings back a lot of memories, and a wave of emotion. This movie and "The Russians Are Coming!, The Russians Are Coming!" became all time favourites because of the CBS Late Night Movies.

[@duranddavis7710]

I still say “And now the conclusion of.....”

[@jhhone]

I do too! lol

[@veelalynne]

1:08 I did not know that they used the 5 second bumper for anything but the Late Movie. It sounds slightly different, too: more bass, less brass and a louder French Horn.

[@case139]

@veelalynne Oh, they definitely used it a lot in Prime Time, too. That's the seventies' variant of Morton Stevens' old 1960s movie bumper.

[@jehobden]

I'm surprised to hear Carl Reiner mentioned in 1 of the bumpers, as his part was rather minor in this movie. I think, though, he's the highest-billed person in this movie who's still living today.

[@jehobden]

Barrie Chase is also still living, and her billing was on par with Reiner's. Her name appeared before his because the featured actors were listed in alphabetical order. Mickey Rooney was the last living of the stars of this movie.

[@luisreyes1963]

Carl Reiner died in 2021.

[@jehobden]

@@luisreyes1963 2020 actually

[@fayettebrown2312]

Who is the name of the announcer for the late movie

[@OBSInternational]

Norman Stevens is the announcer for the CBS Late Movie. The voice announcer for this movie is Allen Berns.

[@MayorMcCheeseStalker]

@@OBSInternational Exactly right. The CBS Friday Night Movie was shown during primetime. The CBS Late Movie aired sometime after the 11 o'clock news, and I believe it was shown Mon.-Fri. nights.
