We went to see Tony, every Saturday in Ft. Lauderdale at Nicks Italian Restaurant. His performances were always outstanding. He always knew we were there because my husband would always ask for. if I Were A Painting. God Bless Tony. Mike and Ann Hodowal
Boring nonsense chit chat. Celebs draw attention and makes no difference what they say, dumb audiences clap & laugh. His vrambling chatter style is now the norm whereby not a word is understandable anymore from anyone.
This is incredible! LOL! There are sociologists who dedicate their entire lives trying to understand the Middle East so it is a complicated place of unrest. It reminds me of that moment in Clueless, “I thought they declared peace in the Middle East.” Nope, never. So comedy is the only way most of us could process even a little bit of it. Well done! This is amazing.
Note his PERFECT pronunciations of all the place and people names despite that being a time when most folks would not be able to check on his accuracy. What a good man What a service to society at the time It is odd that most of the named characters remained in power for many, many decades after I miss this kind of comedian I also miss Norm MacDonald Triple-jabbed Gilbert Gottfried, who died of a “heart condition,” is also missed as well
Some things never change, except the progress in Israel since then puts all the Arab States to shame and that is what bothers them. If they can't do anything positive, they are willing to destroy any state that does!!!
It's a rare spectacle these days using humour/comedy as a healing medicine to handle sensitive issues, especially related to religious driven circumstances! And one can wonder why Mr. Alan King in his swinging number resonant like Robbin Williams singing "Friend Like Me" from Aladdin (Disney 1992)! A fan and an admirer from Pakistan.
Very funny, though dated still a hoot! He was one of my moms favorite comedians. I liked him as Max in " Just tell me what you want", read the book, too. Some I know and some critics didn't like it, I loved it. I think it was underrated, not a flawless movie(what movie is)it had great sound track, nice locations and Alan King reigned King Supreme as Max.
Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Yemen, where are your Jews? Over a million Jews fled or were expelled. Remember that when opposing Israel.
OMG...I'm 55 and I remember watching this TV special live. Alan King made more than one of these specials on ABC. I wish I could see them in their entirety.
OMG, grew up on LI, NY watching him all the time. What a memory. Thank you. Gentiles in New York love the Jewish comedians back then and probably now, although I haven't lived there in a very long time many people from New York and Long Island have a certain Jewish flavor to the way they talk and act
I know two ladies both formerly married to Muslim men, the way they were treated was terrible on occasion. One I work with said her husband used to stub his cigarettes out on her arm. She had an tough army upbringing, I don't why she put up with this for so long. I've met her current husband, thank goodness she's met the person she deserves.
@@ronniewoodinsteadofmt2615 After reading it again I somewhat concur. It amazes me how comments can be misconstrued when conversations are posted/written as opposed to verbally communicated...
