Judy Garland - The Jack Paar Program 1962 1/4

This interview is a fan favorite.
Judy was in great shape, relaxed and very funny. We can also see what a great storyteller she was when she talks about growing up in vaudeville, her days at MGM and her live concerts.
She sings "Little Drops of Rain", "Paris Is a Lonely Town" and "Mewsette", from Gay Puree.
Part 1 of 4.
Enjoy!

OMG! this woman was just amazing in every single way! amazing actress, amazing singer, amazing dancer, and such an amazing personality and sense of humor! I love her!

[@WitoldBanasik]

Riddled with wit, humour, passion, empathy, sympathy, multi-talent, charming, eloquent... all about Judy The Queen. Thank you for the wonderful remainder. I'm getting ready to fly over the rainbow... who knows one never knows. Maybe we meet each other somewhere over there... Fingers crossed...

[@WitoldBanasik]

@Assurance UMX oh... thanks for your kind response. Yes, I hope She does...

[@kirkgriffin8882]

Lucille Ball said Judy was the funniest person she’d ever met.

[@henryspringer1280]

Jack and Judy are snapping jai-lai balls at one other here. Both performers at the top of their game. Two things about Garland that "maintain" - she was the funniest person that ever lived, and she was an extremely good mother that loved her kids.

[@VladSicoe]

She was so much fun!

[@leilanisunsets1362]

Beautiful! Judy Garland the battle she fought We all got to watch how heartbreaking at a young age sacrifices, hardships, loneliness and not feeling good enough. I can imagine. Her iconic song will always resonate the beauty of every color of the rainbow that she gave us. Happy mother's Day! Judy

[@Robby24ish]

Great, Charming Beautiful story teller, besides of Course SINGER, I remember this show, I as so young FivE or six yrs old. Love U Judy. Peace

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Interesting how each generation has their loves, and then time moves on, following generations being barely aware of their existence. We get so caught up in the moment forgetting how brief and transient life is. For all that success, she lived a very short, tragic, sad life. 47, so brief and gone.

[@pattibrooks1907]

Judy had a great sense of humor ! I love to hear her laugh and tell her stories! She was not the tragic figure they made her out to be ! She made me laugh ! People who lied told lies I hope they have burnedin hell for all the nasty untrue lies they told about her !

[@myboylollipop09]

Ah the good ole days when talk shows were really exciting because people were still very exciting to interview. And Judy was one of very best talents alive. I'm only sorry Jack didn't have Judy on one nite with Oscar Levant. Now there would have been a show for the ages...

[@Kissbear]

She was such a gem. I love her.

[@pattibrooks1907]

I love Judy since I was 11 yrs old Im almost 62 and Ill always love Judy She had a good sense of humor and love her for that I love to laugh too

[@pattibrooks1907]

@Assurance UMX Yes she does love me like she loved all her fans young and old

[@fromthesidelines]

This is from the first season when Jack appeared on Friday nights at 10pm(et) with a "prime-time" version of his former late-night series; the only difference was, he and his guests sat in swivel chairs facing each other [floor mikes in front of them], rather than the traditional "desk and sofa". Some people believe this segment was seen on "THE TONIGHT SHOW" (or, as it was known during his era, "THE JACK PAAR SHOW"). Nope, this was seen in "prime-time"....

[@sfden50]

Oh Lord, what talent.

[@EderikSchneider1973USA]

Judy Garland, very funny and adorable on Jack Paar.

[@sarakat76]

she is wonderful! I love this woman!

[@millers3888]

She looks good here.

[@caitlinjane92]

I never knew that Judy admired the great Elizabeth Taylor. That just makes me love her even more now, LOL! Both of those legendary Hollywood stars are resting peacefully in heaven now.

[@MsJenfan]

Love her laugh

[@JudyGarlandstarstruk]

Judy looks so cute on this funny program!

[@SaxonC]

Judy was famous for embellishing stories because she made funnier and everyone loved her humor and stories... Judy knew how to entertain her audiences; her fans loved her because they always left her performances smiling.

[@pattibrooks1907]

Loved Judy and her humor ! She looked to humor just like I do Ihate negative people negative things Judy helped me laugh during my down times !

[@MauricioAlejandroVillalobos]

If you guys can find a clip of Elaine Stritch telling a funny story about a late night out drinking with Judy Garland, it's very funny. She told that story at her one-woman show called "At Liberty".

[@edwardjames50]

What a drastic disintegration in her between this appearance and the one in 1967, only five years later.

[@sdasher69]

She is funny as shit

[@pattibrooks1907]

I loved Judy and thought her humor was a great funny sense of humor and she was not tragic person she loved life I just know it

[@pattibrooks1907]

@Assurance UMX Judy was no tragic figure like Lorna says but tragic things happeded to her ! Sad but its true !Judy loved all of her fans !

[@SaxonC]

@plp1964 . I agree about finding more JUDY interviews they used to have the entire 1967 interview with Judy and Jack Paar but youtube took it off and only 5 minutes of audio is available. Judy was on the dec 17th 1968 Tonight show and there is the two songs she sang but no interview footage and she was a guest and guest-host for merv griffin which just has silent footage. I know she was on Gypsy Rose Lee's talk show in the mid 60's. Also,When youtube's sound goes down I log off and log on again.

[@mattmammone2338]

What a goofball she was! Life 'o the party

[@AnonymousAnonymous-sz5hg]

She looks healthy here

[@SaxonC]

Thank you for uploading the entire interview. I know last time someone posted the whole interview, it was taken off KZbin. Is there a way I can upload it to my computer before it is taken off again?

[@NicoleLeighKarbowski]

@ELIZETH1202 i think shes is talking about how back then you had to be, you know sexy, tall.. that type of deal... i think...

[@tomitstube]

deanna durbin is still alive, she's 89 and been living in paris for 60 years.

[@terrygrant3467]

Xander, Judy WAS the one Mayer was going to fire, but, got talked out of it by Ida Koverman, Roger Edens, and Arthur Freed. So Universal signed Deanna immediately, and she became an instant star in her first film 3 Smart girls ( dumb movie ), and it ticked Mayer off so bad he sought revenge. He was determend to prove he made the correct decision on which girl to keep, and Judy paid the price. He over worked her, and the harder he worked her the more pills he fed her, and Judy became a huge star, with a huge dependency that would unfortunately lead to her early death.

[@mattmammone2338]

its the left channel. right speaker is out

[@RJ-luci]

matt mammone Yes, I noticed that too.

[@mattmammone2338]

@@RJ-luci She was at the top of her game, this was her peak, the 1960-64 peak.

[@edwardjames50]

After saying she needs no introduction, Paar goes on and on and on and on and on.......

[@upcycle]

She seemed a bit drunk on alcohol in this interview.

[@terrysmith8749]

For God sakes stop already. You idiots are always looking for a reason to say something critical about Judy. People like you are always looking for something you can criticize her for. If you are one of those, obviously you are not a fan of hers. I guarantee you that she was stone cold sober. Just in case you didn't know, Judy is considered to be one of the funniest, if not the funniest person in all of show business. Lucille Ball received a compliment one day from a man who said to Lucy that you are the funniest women in show business. Lucy replied, i'm not funny, my writers are funny. She said now Judy Garland, she's the funny person I know.

[@terrysmith8749]

That's because you wanted her to be a little drunk. You are totally disgusting. It's very obvious that she is stone cold SOBER. Shame on you, you're not a fan, you must be a hater.

[@michaelmcbride5012]

Such a bad quality print; too bad.

[@xxcharmed1xx]

Jack is a clown. He may have appeared a close friend to her while she was alive but when she died he gave an interview about her. Look it up on here. Awful!

[@xander7ful]

Judy's fibbing. She and Deanna used to talk on the phone when they were in their 30s. They got along. But the part about Deanna getting fired? She left out that Mr. Mayer said to his secretary, "Fire the fat one", meaning Judy. But the secretary thought he meant Deanna, so they dropped her instead. It was the best mistaken decision he ever made. Judy made him millions.

[@melisagalvalizi6982]

AND LOOK HOW HE REPAID HER

[@lindaeasley5606]

Jack Parr was a fawning groupie ,not a real friend of Judy's . He knew she had a problem but looked the other way in order to keep ingratiating himself with her

[@unclealand]

The Diana Durbin arm joke is really poor. Funny, though.
