I was 10 years old in '64. Childhood Memories of a time when TV was truly entertaining. ☺️

[@garrettmeadows2273]

It was impossible to not love Jimmy Durante. He was like the old uncle or grandfather you never had.

[@fifty9forty3]

Watch the reception he received upon his appearance and departure on "What's My Line"?

[@robgrune3284]

Love Perry's voice.

@@CostAnder the closest who come to these two treats for their joy is McCartney and Ringo. Their joy is to entertainment and they live for it.

[@leovadala]

I believe it was Sinatra who said that Durante was "a piece of chocolate". I can't add much to that, a perfect description.

[@deelb9462]

It's incredible how this little skit can transport a person back in time. Thank you for this.

When they start walking @7.53, were any other ancient Brits reminded of Flanagan and Allen (from the old Crazy Gang) singing their song ‘Strolling’?👵🏻

How very cool! Music of my parents and memories made.

mr.como.and th geat.jimmy durante..stop the músic stop th3 music...

Not only do they not make it like that any more but then do not even try because there is no more call for “class”. What a sad state of affairs

[@fifty9forty3]

I tried 3 times and couldn't get the punch line for the joke. He put the lead slug in and what came out?

[@JohnnySalMusic1]

GUM came out

[@JohnnySalMusic1]

Only Kidding....The MANAGER came out

[@fifty9forty3]

@@JohnnySalMusic1 He mumbled something after "gum".

[@almassa4057]

Bit of a skip on the audio.

He stopped himself cis he realized whatever the punchline it was probably to risque for TV.

*******

[@MrBraffZachlin]

folks this is that butter zone between when stars were drunks to when stars became drug addicts. i have no meaning assigned to this observation other than to observe their behavior knowing these guys were drunk and 5 years after this the pop icons were high. one is not better than the other again no judgement or connotation, but i find it interesting to view this cultural gap pre and post civil rights movement and pre and post cultural movement thru the lens of what they were on recreationaly and how and why the divisiveness between generations became so great so fast when in reality they were not much different psychologically

[@philpeters4107]

Take a break!

[@michaelmayoh656]

What on earth are you talking about?!

[@vmanfactor5]

Perry Como could use a personality transplant.

[@vincentdesapio]

His personality was so lacking that he was on television on a consistent basis for almost 30 years and in the top 10 of prime time television shows for many of those years. Add to that the number of awards during his television tenure. Between 1945-55 he sold more records than any other singer. All that and he was lacking in personality?

[@silvialeprattomazza6214]

Without a "personality" he reached people from every corner of the world. 😏😏
