Loved this interview ! As a kid in the 60s my family and I loved watching the late great Mr Vernon on programs like Ed Sullivan, Merv Griffin, etc. Such a funny fellow...he is sorely missed. THANKS so much for sharing this fab footage with us, Bobby ! CHEERS !! :-)

Jubal Calif: Back in the Ed Sullivan days watching Jackie Vernon on his show was a must . My dad actually liked him more than anyone else. 😅😂🤣 This can best describe his reaction to a Jackie Vernon performance.

Same here. He's amazing as the voice of Frosty The Snowman.

Happy birthday!

[@drumsport]

Find Jackie's album "A Man and His Watermelon". Before you listen to it, put on a diaper because you're going to laugh until you lose your water. A brilliant comedian. RIP Sir.

JF was born to interview Vernon This is the type of exchange Franklin is ideal to have on camera and microphone Thank you for posting this!

[@jubalcalif9100]

I certainly have a notion to second that emotional !

[@disneyfan94themuppetsforev95]

Excuse me Mr Cole do you know if Jackie did any interviews about working on Frosty?

[@Chloe-ng6cq]

The host sounds like Jonny Carson.LOL

[@DudeMannn]

The host is a true legend even though he was never a big time host. Joe Franklin, was an old timer that also had a radio show here in New York and all he did was play old time music from the 30s, 40s, and 50s. That music was way before my time, but, he introduced me to that unique era with his knowledge of the past when I was a kid. Joe, also had many of the big celebrities alive in the 70s and 80s on his TV show. Joe was a very unique human being that will be remembered by the smaller percentage of people like me that did watch his show very VERY late at night around 1:30 am. on TV channel 9. RIP.

Cigarettes. That voice used to be common.

[@r.millhouse3977]

Eddie Murphy "tasteless" comedy?! Then I wonder what he would think about Dave Chappelle then 🤣🤣🤣

[@johnmaki3046]

Really, the "new crop" of comics are ok, but the "old school" WERE MUCH FUNNIER!
