SATURDAY NIGHT (2024) FULL MILTON BERLE ENCOUNTER

[@Kodubs212]

She Milton my Berle

until I SNL

[@willybeezy2775]

In my opinion The actor portraying Chevy Chase is phenomenal. He sounds just like him. That's just my opinion and mine alone.

[@VideoAmericanStyle]

He neither looks nor sounds anything close to Chevy Chase. If they didn’t reference his name directly in this scene, no one would have any clue who he’s portraying.

[@mooremiket]

@@VideoAmericanStyleI’m not saying he is the spitting image of Chevy, but come on. He’s got his mannerisms down pat. The cadence of his voice is identical. Stop trying to win cool points.

[@bgva82]

Knowing how Milton and Chevy are both notorious for being assholes, I'm conflicted on who to root for here...

[@KevyNova]

I see it as a win/win.

[@josepharmstrong5525]

That comeback line was cold lmao. using that next time someone insults me

[@jderrickson4597]

Prepare to get punched in the face

[@HOTD108_]

Jimmy Carr has been using that line during stand-up shows for decades. It's his go-to when somebody heckles him.

[@neilcarroll4579]

I think Jimmy carr wrote that line and it has been used here

Hey Chevy. This is 2024 calling and you better be nicer to Milton because you are him now!

[@bcbock]

@@KenMcMunn-bp5xv Chevy was never anywhere near as popular and famous as Milton.

[@lurx2024]

...apparently the entire cast despised Milton Berle, and he was never called back.

[@teeveeparty]

This encounter purportedly took place in the run up to the first episode. Berle later came back to host.

[@lurx2024]

@@teeveeparty It was in the context of his hosting an episode that led to that response.

[@richardb6260]

Much like Chevy Chase.

[@grvlpts]

so like Chevy then?

[@lurx2024]

@@grvlpts I wouldn't go that far, Chase ended up hosting a few episodes and he was never banned from coming back as Michaels did with Berle.

[@JohnPolozzolo]

My dad was a firefighter in our hometown . Years ago he was doing a fire watch detail at the outdoor summer theater in town for one of Berle’s shows. He said he was the most miserable SOB you could meet .

[@ChannelWright]

Trouble is, a lot of kids today don’t know who Milton Berle was or Chevy Chase. Fame is more fickle than ever!

[@KenMcMunn-bp5xv]

Hey Chevy. This is 2024 calling and you better be nicer to Milton because you are him now!

[@bcbock]

I’m 57 and although I know who Milton Berle is, by the time I came around, he was relegated to doing cameos on CHiPS and the Love Boat to keep his SAG insurance. His relevance to entertainment ended before I was born and unlike legends like Lucille Ball, it didn’t translate to timeless comedy. Berle’s problem wasn’t fame being fickle. It’s about his talent being out of date.

[@bcbock]

As for Chase, it wasn’t Fame being fickle that did him in. It was his own bad behavior. Nobody wanted to work with him.

[@KenMcMunn-bp5xv]

@bcbock Well I don't know how about that. He was a pretty funny guy especially when he went in drag in that MTV video but he wasn't like the raunchier comics that came along like Richard Pryor, except when he showed people his legendary long penis.

[@KenMcMunn-bp5xv]

@bcbock That's true too but everyone also gets old unfortunately,and new people keep coming along. 😵‍💫😱

[@nms7872]

id never heard of Milton berle before watching this movie but JK Simmon's casting just felt so on point because he just had a very old timey quality to his appearance, especially in this movie, complete with a certain level of sleaze for some reason Just great casting

Milton was infamous for showing his "amenties" to stun the room

[@tamusdarmody5744]

​@@RB-tx4mn he basically had only minor tv roles in the 80's/90's and died in 2002, so anyone born after the mid 80's probably has no idea who he was.

@@tamusdarmody5744I only knew of him from a television history course I took in college we learned about him. If not for that I wouldn’t of known how big a deal he was in television during the prime of his career in the 50s

[@stevenbennett3805]

The SNL episode of Berle hosting is online. I'm wondering what kept the audience awake. Berle's act hadn't changed since his TEXACO live broadcasts from the 40s.

[@bcbock]

Yep. And that’s why despite his immense fame, he was a has been. Lucile Ball was also a star of the 50s and everyone knows who she is because her shows still make people laugh today. The comedy was mostly timeless, unlike Berle.

[@kevinhays2142]

There is nothing sadder than a big star who is no longer a star. Wait, I thought of something sadder, A guy who worked his ass off for 60 years, trying to survive with just social security. Seriously, it is hard for some big stars to just retire, relax, and spend their millions. They need to be famous. Me? I would love to have the cash, without being recognized.

[@flwrfan1752]

The young woman talking with the actor playing Berle is Kaia Gerber Cindy Crawford’s daughter.

[@friendlypup5650]

[@SloaneHomeAlone]

Now the REAL story was Chase went for Berle's throat and had to be held back from hurting the old fart.

[@scottmoore1614]

Berle had a legendary physical attribute.

[@Chillllllbruh]

We get it you're obsessed with dick. It's okay to be gay.

[@4862cjc]

I lost respect for Berle when I saw how he could not take a joke during a celebrity roast (not even his). Don Rickles was at the podium and made several old age jokes that Berle demanded he took back.

[@tehf00n]

Did you actually see that Friar's Roast? He took the jokes well. He did slap Don Rickles, but playfully. You think even Milton Berle could physically attack Don Rickles and get away with it? Rickles had more mafia around him than Sicily town centre.

Alzheimers was a thing in 1975?

[@joemadden4160]

No it wasn't. Bad writing.

[@rayo146-x8x]

It was a thing as far back as 1901. Tho as far as I know it wasn't referred by that terminology until 1977. It's fine. One little anachronism doesn't mean bad writing.

[@joemadden4160]

@@rayo146-x8x Yes it does. They're afraid of using the word SENILE because it may hurt feelings. As Carlin states about language use: it's mutilated to assuage feelings. Senility Dementia Alzheimer's I find it doubly ironic that there would be such poor writing given that Carlin was the first to host. Saturday Night is a crock. Can't even get its historical use of language correct for the time.

[@CzolgoszWorkinMan]

@@joemadden4160 Senility, dementia, and Alzheimer's are all categorically different things. Carlin's bits about language are only "funny cuz it's true" if you don't think about them for more than five seconds.

[@joemadden4160]

@ Senility is no longer used because people are too frightened to be honest. I use it all the time. Tell me, how many times have you heard the term Alzheimers or Dementia used in 1970s television or movies? Never. You would write a movie set in the trenches of WWI and use the term PTSD instead of Shell SHOCK. Using a prochronism in Saturday Night was a pathetic mistake and WOKE on the part of the "writers" of this tripe.

He did indeed. His stint on television will never be matched because he was one of the pioneers. He also had a huge penis.

[@mikemartoony]

This made a nice scene but the truth is that Chevy Chase had been off the show for years when Milton Berle hosted.

[@Wolfinger1935]

97% of Television audience... in the late 40s early 50s... when there were three networks and only a handful of shows. There wasn't much else to watch. Berle could definitely be funny...but he thought much too much of himself. And pulling out your Wang to impress people... I don't know...

[@pendorran]

It wasn't so much to impress Chase as to shut him down, it seems to me. Like "You bore me now, so let me just end this for you."

[@dennisdivine7448]

Both Berle and Chase cultivated reputations as jackasses, but by that time, Berle had 25+ years of TV experience behind him, and a smartass upstart didn't carry much clout with him.

[@jiggusfiggus]

Zeitgeist is harsh mistress. Berle's SNL hosting gig was a well-documented disaster and effectively the end of his career, and that was meant to be his comeback. Come to think of it, at least Chevy Chase was savvy enough to know what roles to pick and keep his flame going, despite his personality

[@guydavidknollcomedy]

@@jiggusfiggusby the time Milton did SNL he was 70 Chevy already burnt his bridges when he was in his 40s
