Rip Taylor joins cable TV host Skip E Lowe for a second half-hour interview discussing his life and career.

[@Apollo_Blaze]

He was so funny....I remember seeing him as a kid on TV....always a riot...so sorry to hear of his passing this year.....he made tons of us laugh over the years....

[@jnauttube]

There's something charming about listening to these two Hollywood queens chatting with each other. Seems like a much missed bygone era now.

[@premiumblue1637]

I love Rip! He can cheer up anybody no matter how down they are and make them laugh!

[@johnlorenzen4633]

Omg. This is a guilty pleasure. RIP taylor AND skip Lowe. It like two pounds of glitter. Such fun. Skip is most amusing interviewer

[@CattailCat]

It sounds as though he had a wonderful career and so many interesting life Experiences. Rest in peace , Rip Taylor, there well never be another you. Thank you for The laughs and joy you gave to me and so many millions of people. Rest easy, never forgotten.❤

[@mesaeddie]

RIP Mr Rip Taylor one of the funniest ever.

[@johnmitchelljr]

Just got done watching a great interview, some humor some seriousness. Real life interview. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to Mr. Taylor for all the laughs.

[@rhymeandreasoning]

The power of a good interview. Thank heavens for clips like this. Of course have been familiar with Rip Taylor for decades but always when he was on a show peforming, so never really paid all the much attention to him. Because of this interview you get to see THE PERSON not just the act and now he really intrigues me..Great stories. Hope he writes his memoirs. - Montreal, Canada

[@windstorm1000]

good point--good interviews illuminate careers for us! had no idea Rip had done all this--just thought he was a guest on Match Game!

[@mj6962]

What an amazing clip of a couple of amazing entertainers!

[@tml184]

flamers....

[@kattrakee]

Oh how I loved him and I love him still making Jesus laugh in Heaven,Rest in peace dear Sir, Rip Taylor ❤️

[@darylweinbrandt62]

I have met Rip he was a LOVELY man !

[@windstorm1000]

I love the host--he's a wonderful interviewer--why didn't I hear about him before? his offbeat style perfectly compliments Rip's off the wall, crazy humor!

[@edgein1830]

The interviewer is a dude ?

[@bondbondingsweeney]

Thank you, I enjoyed watching them chat. Rip is so charming. This clip is not the regular Rip Ciip that you would expect and if you pay attention, you will learn how to be a better performer. But remember we can never be Rip. Thank You Rip Taylor.

[@bryonhogg485]

Rip was fantastic !

[@raysmusic49]

I worked with him in Lake Tahoe at Harrahs back in the 70s/80s… he was exactly the same off stage..he never turned it off…hysterical!

[@AlongtheFarClimbDown843]

Sammy Labella (June 6, 1929 - September 22, 2014), better known by his stage name Skip E. Lowe, was an American talk show host and actor.

[@t18amgr]

RIP Rip.

[@DaViLiVe1]

Wow rip was so entertaining. I wish I got to see more of him in flims

[@Psyco069]

Rest in peace RIP

[@robertcarly9183]

Rest In Peace Rip.

[@Blake-ul8dd]

Skip has to be the inspiration for Jiminy Glick.

[@whoreshoe]

None no doubt. Rip Rip. 113

[@sylviavasquez9523]

yes, he was.

[@hairyscotman]

BINGO....I laugh when he changes subjects every 12 seconds and could not follow a line of thought if his life depended on it....just brilliant!!!

[@hairyscotman]

@Rene Giovanni OMG Skip E IS Jiminy Glick....ha!!!

[@enochkilo5320]

I literally just looked this up to compare the two

[@enochkilo5320]

Both of these elderly ladies are well worded and fancy

[@davidmarshall7752]

WONDERFUL !

[@PrincessJafar]

These are my people.

[@ItsFazsha]

Rip Taylor - when I first saw him I was probably in my teens, and I'm 62 (he was a regular on the Phyllis Diller Show in 1962 - and I thought he was the funniest, quickest comedian on TV. You had to pay attention, because he talked so fast you're almost laughing a joke behind.

[@windyinok]

RIP Rip The world is not as funny now that you are gone.

[@BaileySEA]

I wholeheartedly agree, the world was a more interesting place with Rip Taylor in it.

[@krisscanlon4051]

For the most part Glick is inspired by Lowe however a bit of David Steinberg is in there too. Also Rip was awesome lol

[@mikebordeaux8218]

Jiminy Glick brought me here.

[@ChrisRubeo]

And Martin Short never gives this guy credit.

[@mj6962]

Yes he does. He said that he based his character Gimini Glick was based on Skip Lowe.

[@loriantu9357]

Same

[@bennythepooh4905]

Martin Short just did mimicry of Brian Linehan City Lights (Toronto City TV) and Skip E. Lowe. His head was filled with so much American popular TV from the 50s and 60s that he just regurgitates into his characters.

[@seananthony4717]

Rip Taylor is a national treasure. My favorite thing was when he was on Last Week Tonight offering to be Thailand's substitute Hitler.

[@JCope-bh4tf]

This man seems like a great interviewer have no idea why people would say otherwise.

[@brkitdwn]

Nice interview

[@emjay5577]

Always laughed at Rip when I was a kid. The good old days of TV shows back in the sixties and seventies when they were not so profane.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

A dark interview and Skip was great in this one!!

[@bennythepooh4905]

Not knowing their mothers? I guess being an ethnic Catholic and very family oriented we didn’t have this type of distance. His mother put him in foster homes, my question is where was the rest of his relatives?

[@davidmarshall7752]

My God they're BOTH Jiminy Glick at the same time. MARVELOUS !

[@SWDetboy]

That was great..

[@ThePiratemachine]

This one should be called "Skip Meets His Match"

[@virgildoc]

When was this terrific interview done?

[@warmgunwarmgun3025]

The 90s !

[@Iamyoung4094]

Met him in 1985, I called him RipTorn, he corrected me with It's Taylor and threw confetti on me .. 😍

[@lenovovo]

After listening to the story that Rip told about how Jackie Gleason treated him / fired him, I have lost TOTAL respect for Jackie Gleason. That was a very mean thing to do to Rip. Rip Taylor is one cool guy. I could NEVER watch anything that Jackie Gleason did ever again.

[@pianomichael3933]

Gleason was known to be a bastard; especially when bombed-which was most of the time...

[@rosu5726]

Imagine how hurtfully devestating that was to this dear sweet man. I dislike alcohol for this

[@Loomismusic]

When's Rip gonna find the right woman and settle down?

[@normanduke8855]

Oh, brother!

[@nightowl5475]

I would love for somebody to say that to him! That’s a good one Will. 👍

[@TheGinamac79]

lmao 😃🤣😂😄😅😆

[@heidihindley8374]

@EJSFilms2K Thank you, Captain Obvious. I am glad you're on it. Because most people confuse Rip Taylor for Tom Selleck.

[@dahliafully]

@@heidihindley8374 and Tom Selleck confuses himself with Rip Taylor

[@MisterSplendy]

FUN!!! 🎉

[@johnhollingsworth2132]

Where can I get one of those T shirts?

[@ignorecorporatenews]

has anyone on here seen the movie "Things Are Tough All Over"? Cheech and Chong's Best movie ! Rip T. is in it. REALLY funny movie

[@wbruzek]

I’ve officially put that Tshirt on my wish list if any of my friends are watching.

[@cherryedwards3]

Sounds like Rip Taylor literally crawled and never gave up and worked himself to death to get were he got .

[@fanboy2015]

Last I saw the corner of 5th and Ocean there was a TGI Friday’s there.

[@damianjackson1841]

Mymymy...i heart

[@brucknerian9664]

I think Steve Martin must have been influenced by Rip ... two guys who could actually make me laugh instead of shake my head and grimace. Rip was flat out the best ... a hurricane comic. Made you ... forced you ... to forget all the negative stuff going on in the world.

[@MichaelSorbello-yo4nl]

Who remembers the $1.98 Beauty Contest? So funny. The winning contestant would get a bunch of carrots with the greens atop (in lieu of a flower bouquet). And of course, confetti. I'm going to check KZbin for episodes that aired late 70's, I believe.

[@SenorZorrozzz]

Skip E was a one shot deal, original, odd, unique, aggravating, irritating, interesting..... there will never be another.

[@PrincessJafar]

Check out jiminy glick

[@littleme3597]

Thank goodness.

[@johnlorenzen4633]

Hes great

[@johnlorenzen4633]

I counted 6 qualities there. How could he be a "one shot deal" ???

[@LloydAntonyLB]

Funny old gal

[@davidmarshall7752]

Fred *Travelena* ? Talk about an old reference.

[@briteness]

Wizard Glick brought me here.

[@9094nancyj]

Rip Taylor was married??

[@BobSmith-in2gn]

Skip is having a hard time getting a word in for a change.

[@zoperxplex]

Was Skip into confetti and toupees too?

[@nightowl5475]

Can you imagine all the broads these guys went through.

[@kinghani]

is this shirley williams?

[@depaola63]

Rip was great and seems to be a genuine, honest beautiful soul !! Skip E. is a pain in the ass most of the time !! Shut up and let the guest talk !! Marty Short took at least 50% of this guys shtick !!

[@warmgunwarmgun3025]

Skip E Lowe a study in masculinity!!

[@HMMELD]

I like the fact that Rip did not try to be funny. So many comedians try to make a joke when there isn't one and fall flat.

[@HMMELD]

Rip was so funny. Too bad Gleason fired him

[@tml184]

2 flamers.....

[@valmor1073]

He was funny but he wasn’t so nice when my girlfriend and I said hi to him in Las Vegas.

[@gbaker9295]

Rip seemed like a nice guy. Paul Lynde was hysterical, too, but never seemed like a nice person

[@teenherofilms]

This guy is the worst interviewer in history

[@justdan60]

Gary Williams actually he was probably one of the best. If you watch more of his interviews you will see that he has the ability to bring out anything from people. He's likable, he's personal, he's engaged. And gets the utmost respect from his interviewee's. He's right up there with Charlie rose. Check out his interview with Timothy leary.

[@teenherofilms]

Dick Cavett was the only interviewer I liked.

[@windstorm1000]

no he's wonderful!! he's just way different!

[@windstorm1000]

I agree--he's very empathetic with a wonderful funny style that never overshadows his guests...kind of a wacky Merv Griffin!

[@DouglasUrantia]

@@teenherofilms Cavett? Timeless, always low key and likable.

[@kareybarey13]

Skip sounds more like a woman than me. wow. very effeminate

[@BuckyBrown-lt4ry]

He's gay, don't you know?

[@aquarius4884]

That's a guy! 😲😲😲You've got to be fucking kidding! Holy shit! I thought it was an old woman!

[@CattailCat]

@@aquarius4884 poor dear you must have led a sheltered life, open your eyes, it's very evident, though not evil nor perverse oh, I see it as two people having a conversation. That's the way everybody in this freaking world should see it; Two individuals having a conversation not an old woman not two gay men not anything with labels. Two individual people having a conversation. I hope you understand that now that I've told you. Do I have to repeat myself, or do you get it now? "Haters will hate" is the saying nowadays. Obviously you are one of them.

[@LoneWolf-qv8lx]

@@CattailCat Thats NOT Cloris Leachman? hehehe ;) lol 😆

[@CattailCat]

@@LoneWolf-qv8lx what in hell are you referring to? I never said anything about Cloris Leachman.
