1. Milton Berle never tasted so good!

:rofl:

2. He is funny as hell

The Jimmy Stewart poem is pretty funny also

7. He was cross dressing when cross dressing wasn't cool.

8. Ah, but he did it just for laughs.

Looking at that footage these days, it doesn't seem entirely funny. But from the context of a 1950s workin' stiff, it must've been utterly hilarious.

9. I was just a kid, but thought it odd he'd don a dress...

on national TV at any excuse. I'm none too sure he did it just for laughs.

3. I fell asleep with the teevee on last night and awoke to one of those

Dean Martin video half hour sales pitch. Dino was a clown, in the good way, and those roasts were almost always funny as hell (although my mom thought I was too young, at the time, to watch them).

Made me smile.Bob Newhart, Don Rickles and Phyllis Diller were good for a howl.

4. Thanks for the memories, GoPsUx! I loved seeing Foster Brooks

roasting Don Rickles. He had everybody in stitches!

5. I was just watching part of Anchors Aweigh on youtube

Kathryn Grayson was absolutely beautiful.
Ladies of that era had a certain elegance

6. Speaking of celebrity roasts, did anyone see the roast of Jerry Stiller?

when Jeffrey Ross followed Sandra Bernhardt and said."I wouldn't f*** her with Bea Arthur's d***! I tried to find a video of it but couldn't but I did find his roast of Pamela Anderson. (Not for the faint of heart)
