I never knew Bob Eubanks was in the music business. As a lifelong Barry Manilow fan, he acknowledged that he was a brat in the early days of his career. Thankfully I believe he has come down to earth over the years. Bob has a knack for hosting. Loved his work.
I think you are one of many who had no idea about Bob’s time in the music and what an amazing time it was! I am sure Barry changed like many people do.
Great interview, John! I loved Clint Howard, on “Gentle Ben”! I watched that show every week. He was also, funny as Leon on “The Andy Griffith Show” and he was funny in a episode of “Seinfeld” as well!
Thank you, John for this wonderful interview! Bob Eubanks is one of my favorite game show hosts! I watched “The Newlywed Game” and “Card Sharks” all the time!
In the spring of 2015,I was fortunate to see Bob interviewed at the NY Fest For Beatle Fans-He talked about how he landed the hosting gig on "The Newlywed Game"-He also talked about arranging for The Beatles to play at the Hollywood Bowl in 1964-Interesting person!
Wow‼️Thank you so much for all these wonderful stories Bob and John. Always watched the Newlywed Game. Of course The Beatles are my and my husband’s favorite band‼️❤ Bob has done so much with his life. Very smart guy😊Can’t wait for Bob’s podcast and book.
Thanks Rozzy, my pleasure! Bob really is a surprising guy especially with his tie-in to the Beatles. They are definitely one of my favorite bands as well!
Thank you for watching my channel! If you enjoyed this video, please SUBSCRIBE and HIT THE NOTIFICATION BELL to my channel. I have fun talking about television from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s television shows and often with the stars of the shows..
John you were right, we loved it!! It was great hearing from Bob and all his different things he did. We had no idea he had been involved in music to the extent that he had. We always watched the Newlywed Game at home and I loved the looks he would give the audience when a silly answer would come up. Thanks again John, that went by way too fast :)
Another top interview John. Bob certainly has had a great career and many fun stories. I'm pretty sure he was in the tv series Mr Belvedere I only saw it a couple of times I may be wrong.
I feel I must apologize to Bob for Barry & Elton because I am also gay and we are not all like that. Sadly, I do know those personality types & I understand what he dealt with. I'd like to think they got better over time & they would apologize to Bob today. Bob is a legend and I love hearing his stories. He was great on the Newlywed Game.
Hey that was the 70's and people certainly do change, I like Barry Manilow and Elton John and would hope they would have changed as we all do with age.
For now Dick Van Dyke is still alive and kicking and back in June he won a Daytime Emmy for his work on the former NBC soap now on Peacock " Days of Our Lives" nice to see Larry is still with us and seems like a pretty down to earth guy, a kid when the show had it's run, forever a piece of my 60s childhood.
@@ThatsClassicTV Agree 200%, sadly we are losing our stars from the 50s through the 90s, the Golden Age of TV, gone but forever remembered by those of us blessed to have been witness to it..
The great Bob UbanksI I grew up watching the Newlywed Game! I used to watch it back in the 60s. I remember when it aired every Saturday night at 8pm on ABC. I remember it came on right after the Dating Game which I never watched because Adam-12 came on at that time. The Newlywed Game also came on in the afternoon which I would watch during summer vacation. What I love about the show believe it or not was seeing the curtains. the silhouettes of trees against a pastel of colors. I thought it was beautiful looking. In addition, I remember back in the 70s when a buddy of mine invited me to spend the weekend. (we were friends from school) he lived in a gated horse community in Calabasas known as Hidden Hills. Bob was his neighbor and I got to see him driving by in his Cadillac. Silly, but I never forgot it. Thanks for posting this wonderful interview.
The Newlywed Game is an all time classic. It only worked because of Bob's ironic wit. I remember it fondly as l watched from my living room sofa as a kid in the 60's.
What wonderful stories! I can't believe the woodpecker scenario was real!!! Only Carl Reiner could have adapted it to the show & make it so hysterical! I miss Carl Reiner. He was always a good guest on talk shows. Also, loved the story that Larry auditioned for the Potsie role on Happy Days. You could only imagine what he could have done with the part. Great interview. Thank you to Larry and thank you John, for sharing! Loved it!
I enjoyed the stories as much as you did believe me! I would agree I could see how Larry might have been Potsie. Carl Reiner seems to have been a wonderful person that is for sure.😀
I enjoyed this interview very much, I have been watching John Davidson since I was a child. I not only saw the Happiest Millionaire but I have the album. It's signed by Lesley Ann Warren. I hope someday to get his too. I think he was very popular, not only was he a extremely talented actor and a wonderful singer he was one of the handsomest men I had ever seen.
So glad to hear Sherri, John is a great guy. He was so underrated as an actor, he had so many talents. Very cool about having the album signed as well.😀
John I've watched a bunch of your interviews, what I really love first is that you listen and you are compassionat. next is your research. It's a real joy to experience your interviews.
Hi Sue, thanks for kind insight. I sincerely appreciate it. I truly love interviewing everyone and I am glad the fact that I care comes across. It truly amazes me where some of the interviews go and I am so interested. Hope you continue to enjoy the interviews😀
John you did a great job as always. Im not sure if you knew this but Lucille Ball was honored by the Kennedy Center awards on December 7 1986. Desi died on December 2 1986. Robert Stack read a statement from Desi at the ceremony. You can google it Lucille Ball Kennedy Center .
Larry was such a natural in that role. Even today when I watch the reruns, (and I still do periodically when I need a laugh, it never fails), I marvel at how gifted little Larry is. He was definitely an asset to the show.
I really enjoyed both your interviews with Erin. She is such a nice lady, I met her once at a collectible show and found her to be delightful. In answer to your Shari Lewis question about writing for Star Trek, I looked it up in one of my Star Trek reference books, and yes she did; The Lights of Zetar. I love that Elizabeth Montgomery being most likely Serena, I know she had a lot of fun playing her, but yes, I can see that, she was a very hip lady as they said back then. I love that Agnes Moorehead was a sweet and lovely woman, she's a great actress. Erin is such a great representative of the show and she is so sweet and kind to her fans, I know what she meant, I remember being so excited to see a star of a TV Show, (I won't say the name,) and they treated me so badly and was so rude, I can never even watch them in anything. Even a guest star in a TV series, I just can't watch it again. It has an effect.
Thanks, I am so glad you saw both interviews. I just love Erin, having met her as well and she is as kind as they come. It is a pretty wild story about Shari Lewis writing the Lights of Zatar for Star Trek, unreal. Erin really understands her fans and cares that she is representing Bewitched when she meets them, I love that. A very smart person. Hope you enjoy the rest of my channel. Erin also co-hosts with me to interview Anson Williams:)
When I was a young kid, Johnny Angel was one of my favorite songs. I absolutely loved Shelley on Coach. Not going to lie, I've always loved the sound of her last name.
