Rip Taylor on Ed Sullivan Show - 1964

[@JonMacintosh-eh3rt]

Thank you for showing this clip. I loved Rip Taylor. He looks so different with a suit and tie but certainly sounds the same.

[@jasonbeard4713]

This is great!! Wish we could see the entire appearance.

[@bettycogswell9851]

I loved Rip Taylor.

[@chuckcaputo5144]

He was hilarious….love him! I used to stay up just to see him on Carson!

[@carpenoctem775]

Hard to see him without his mustache.

[@faustus5481]

This is before Rip bought stocks in confetti 😅

[@Therockyhorrorqueen666]

I love rip Taylor ❤️❤️❤️

[@net_alone]

rest in peace!!

[@carlgoogle2869]

Why did he keep wiping his eye with that rag?

[@Filbi]

Early in his career he would pretend to cry or seem over-emotional to make people laugh

[@DNulrammah]

...WHAT? No confetti? No mustache? No "Hello Frisco!"? Still, He's as "wet" as the back end of an Octopus.

[@JonMacintosh-eh3rt]

He does look so different but sounds the same. Never saw him on a suit before.

[@dougmilesmedia]

He was known as the "Crying Comedian".

[@raimundoskajellifett]

He was a funny guy ; good sense of humor.

[@graciegirl6699]

This was when Mr. Taylor before the mustache and toupee.

[@NoirFan01]

No, really?! I expected it to be Rip Taylor before he was gay

[@carlgoogle2869]

​@@NoirFan01maybe his marriage to Rusty was a sham or a front. He definitely was flamboyant.

[@caytlinnickole2046]

RIP Rip taylor.

[@caytlinnickole2046]

nighttime662 He will be soon and I'll have the first comment about it.

+Caytlin Shermenti You trollop

[@GMbowtie350]

nighttime662 Someone needs to check his apartment.

[@teeniebeenie8774]

thx for the laffs and the wondrous walks down by the creek on moony nights....

[@moomoopuppy5810]

Was he already wearing toupees by this time. I'm shocked to see a young Rip Taylor and that he actually did stand up, and did something other than sit on game show panels and throw confetti. So by the end of this year is when he started doing his normal schtick?

[@presto709]

Sort of an up-beat Paul Lynde

[@PrincessJafar]

Hes so poor here, at the end, when he tucks his hanky in his jacket his hand pops out the sleeve 🤧

[@pennybourban3712]

I know he wasn't the very first camp comic but it was somewhat brave.

[@petervance6777]

I know ur out there…I can hear you breathing!😡

[@dougyoung4790]

hello Frisco

[@BurnRoddy]

He was young here wasnt he? Why does he sound like a grandma?

[@khylerbane4523]

He was 33 at this time.

[@joeterp5615]

Interesting that some people found this to be so bad. I thought this was pretty good. After watching this, I checked out a video of him from 1987 where Letterman introduced him… which I thought was painfully bad. Poor prop humor.

[@killustrator]

This is stunningly unfunny.

[@TheMrCarina]

the 60s humor

[@frankhernandez579]

That sucked.He thought it was funny tho
