JACK PAAR AND DEBBIE REYNOLDS

[@chocloditelensman]

Boy, there is no way you could get away with some of this stuff today. She was brilliant, funny, glamorous, and gorgeous. What a super entertainer.

[@624radicalham]

Get away with what? What did she did other than hilarious impressions that everyone still does on talk shows

[@holditagainstsam]

For some reason, I am quite... shocked? and obsessed? with Debbie Reynolds' televised interviews. They are nothing like talk shows today. These are so raw.

[@madambutterfly7513]

I've always loved Debbie Reynolds, beautiful, smart & funny ( people with a great sense of humor are very intelligent). RIP Debbie ✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️

[@PC4USE1]

Debbie Reynolds was a great mimic and a had great sense of humor and if she hadn't been so pretty and come up in the "golden age of the movies",she would have been a top comedienne.

[@rdelapaz5004]

I miss Debbie so much ♥️♥️

[@barbrajones489]

OMG--i binge watch debbie reynolds too.She is so funny and witty. i cant get enough of her.(Carrie is just like her)

[@madambutterfly7513]

Carrie is nothing like her beautiful & funny mother, Carrie didn't talk to her mom for 10 years, no doubt, over something silky, even tho Debbie tried! Daughters can be a pain in the kazoo sometimes, I know, I have two! RIP Debbie, you were & are much loved & adored, I wish Debbie had been my mother, I would have treated her much better than bratty Carrie!

[@newporter9496]

Wonderful vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@kimclayton2860]

Regular TV and talks shows are sooo boring compared to these. Thanks for this upload and thank goodness we have them to watch on KZbin.

[@agramsci]

Well...Here's the thing--I love Jack Paar more than anything. And I love Debbie as much as anything. So this, for me is heaven.

[@ckienzle]

I remember it like it was yesterday....how funny.

[@twilightblue8566]

When I was little, I got to stay up late then this episode came on. My mother told me to go to bed. :D Debbie was always a dynamo. My fave was How the West Was Won because it showcased all of her various talents. Rest in Peace.

[@Tyler1915]

I have always loved Debbie Reynolds. She is so funny and naughty.

[@suzannebenz8928]

Debbie was a CLASS ACT!

[@mastshke]

when she lifted that dress I almost dropped my phone lol.

[@chocloditelensman]

That would never happen today !!

[@takokvrivishvili9180]

she has the greatest bette davis impression

[@akrenwinkle]

IMO the best Bette Davis impression was Kaye Ballard doing Bette Davis dubbing her own movie in Italian. It might still be up on youtube. But Debbie was a hoot, too.

[@robertdelapaz6848]

Love and miss her. ❤

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

I never saw her like that! Jack Paar really brought out the mischief in her.

[@michaelneel4828]

Watch what's there line & she does zha zha gabor & its to funny ;)

[@gkennedy2998]

The older footage was after Eddie left her for Elizabeth. Jack said "EDDIE IS OUT OF HIS MIND!" She was repairing the damaged Eddie did to her character and reputation

[@twilightblue8566]

Eddie was out of his mind, then Liz left him for Burton anyway.

[@tinaserpico2141]

She was the Best there ever was. Debbie could do it ALL.

[@davidprice9939]

Her spontaneity on What's My Line as the mystery guest were among the funniest moments I have ever heard on TV.

[@lisaoldwithsomanywhys5487]

Talented comedian ❤❤❤❤

[@miltonmoore8369]

"Comedienne" is the correct word for female comedians. Respectfully.

[@lisaoldwithsomanywhys5487]

@@miltonmoore8369 thank you for educating me.

[@Laudon1228]

I love this woman. Carrie definitely came by her humor honestly.

[@fr9054]

I love her!😂

[@jeffkiper8199]

I always felt Jack Paar had real integrity, demonstrating that by his walking off "The Tonight Show" in 1960, because NBC had censored/deleted one of his jokes from the previous nights broadcast. That night, after about five minutes, he said he was leaving The Tonight Show, adding "There must be a better way of making a living than this.", then walked offstage. Three weeks later, after NBC apologized, he returned with his razor-sharp wit, “As I was saying when I was interrupted....When I walked off, I said that there must be a better way to making a living than this. Well, I’ve looked, and there isn’t."

[@BrianSmith-wh9bi]

True. However he was an egotist with a very thick skin who couldn't take criticism.

[@MrJoeybabe25]

Hope you have more of Debbie and Jack!

[@STONECOLD1987]

i love her character, hair and humor we definitely lost a lovely lady from the Golden Era of Hollywood. Micky Rourke looks like Jack Paar, theirs a resemblance.

[@laurenvandevendel7743]

I can not with her. LOL She is the funniest lady.

[@cheric35]

What year?

[@conniehale6222]

Joe Postove: Really? I mean five times? That a little too extreme when you have done the following, "Hope you have more of Debbie and Jack! " times 5. 😊

[@sfgooner70]

That's Hugh Downs on the couch correct?

[@tagcbs]

Yes!

[@PepsiMama2]

I didn't get the James Stewart joke about the dog....

[@chocloditelensman]

I didn’t either.

[@coffeehigh420]

I’d say so!

[@jgsmile1331]

Debbie please don't spit. It's gross. You are such a class act you don't need to do that. Miss you.

[@voiceguy3635]

She got what she wanted.

[@irwinharris7217]

Drew Barrymore stole this from Debbie

[@chocloditelensman]

I never noticed that until you mentioned that. You are so right !!

[@snavgm]

Stole what?

[@kimiisungstartedthekoreanw2771]

Debbie was a lousy mom. Her actress kid was all screwed up.

[@ashley_ashbee]

Her daughter had bipolar disorder.

[@MyrtheNijenhuis]

Debbie was a very good mother under the circumstances, do you think it’s easy raising your 2 young kids on your own because your husband left you for your best friend/maid of honor who happens to be Elizabeth Taylor? She was really pushed by people telling she was stopping Elizabeth Taylor and Eddie Fisher from being happy by “delaying” her and eddie’s divorce... she went through a really tough time during her divorce... don’t judge before you know the whole story...

[@akrenwinkle]

@@MyrtheNijenhuis I've read a few things about the Debbie-Eddie-Liz triangle, and what comes off to me is that Eddie was never really so keen on Debbie to begin with. He found her a cheapskate and too aggressive... well, too aggressive for the 1950s anyway. That said... I've had it up to my eyeballs with celebs who have "bipolar disorder." I think it's human nature to be extremely happy sometimes, totally miserable other times. If we felt about the same way all the time, what a fucking bore of a life. Also, being on drugs and booze most of the time certainly exacerbates those highs and lows. So no, I don't think bi-polar is as common as we're told, it seems to have become a celeb thing maybe a decade ago, and like all fads, it'll peter out.

@@daviddixon1011 Yep, it's a fad, trendy. And bi-polar isn't the only thing. Here's another example. nypost.com/2020/06/27/how-peer-contagion-plays-into-the-rise-of-teens-transitioning/
