Andy Griffith was so charismatic, I love to hear him talk the way he spoke and formed his words.... that character he created Sheriff Taylor was unbelievable. Thank God I can still see him on reruns.
@@kimclark2135 It's no secret that Carson was a bad tempered jerk; he gave up alcohol completely because of his bad behaviour when drunk; Griffith being like this was less well known because he didn't have the profile of Carson but people he worked with have spilled the beans; Griffith was reported to have quite a temper. “He could have this explosive temper,” writer Daniel de Visé documented. “He punched out a car window and put his fists through doors.” “Most of us were deathly afraid of Andy,” confessed George Lindsey, who played Goober Pyle on the sitcom. Some reports claim that Griffith battled alcoholism, and was even known to get physical on the set of his show, punching a wall in one particularly memorable occasion, which production assistants bandaged well before resuming filming.
Andy Griffith was an iconic star in every sense of the word. To have these 2 icons together is a great thing..We miss them both. I grew up on Sheriff Taylor and Barney Fife in the 1960s and I miss them, thank God for syndication and reruns. And thank you for the upload, it is great to see them (and Doc SEVERINSEN too) LMAO !
After Griffith's death, [Ron] Howard stated: His love of creating, the joy he took in it whether it was drama or comedy or his music, was inspiring to grow up around. The spirit he created on the set of The Andy Griffith Show was joyful and professional all at once. It was an amazing environment. And I think it was a reflection of the way he felt about having the opportunity to create something that people could enjoy. It was always with respect and passion for the opportunity and really what it could offer people in a very unpretentious and earthy way. He felt he was always working in service of an audience he really respected and cared about. He was a great influence on me. His passing is sad. But he lived a great rich life
Dang!! Who knew Andy could play the horn?? Still love this show. I saw Gene Krupa and Ed Shaunessy play the drums on this show and they inspired me to join band and play percussion.
@@SweetChicagoGator All percussion. Many people do not know that "percussion" is not only drums. Besides snare and bass drum, it includes, tympani, cymbals, gong, bells, marimba, xylophone and other special sounds. So glad I did it in my youth. It was a great experience.
One of the most underrated percussion instruments is the triangle. We used to get given it at infant school, and only ever thought it made a pathetic 'ting.' I know now it can be a terrific rhythm instrument using hand damping, and I wish I knew it then!
When I get down not feeling with a disease I have Johnny Carson always lifts my spirits . Love Andy Griffith. He was so kind to my wife when they made a movie where I was a youth minister years ago. Be blessed! 🙏
This is great. Johnny's reaction, like some long-suffering father listening to junior playing the trumpet up in his room. Then he asks if Andy ever played professionally!!!
Grew up watching Johnny Carson and the good ole shows...Andy Griffith was one of the black and white film actors I watched who gave me such a sense of peace and comfort. One of my favorites ❤ Exactly why Johnny Carson and his talent in bringing our favorites, our curiosities about the lives whom have made an impact within our homes and in our lives is, and forever will be The Best 🏆 Miss you Johnny still 🙏
Andy use to smoke on his sitcom, although not all that much.....when he and Aunt Bea were sitting on the front porch, and he was about to strum his guitar....
Although Johnny always goes for the gag, Doc looks genuinely impressed by Andy’s choice on trombone. As Doc points out - "Song to the Evening Star" ("O du, mein holder Abendstern"), also known as "Oh Star Of Eve", which is an aria from Richard Wagner's 1845 opera Tannhäuser.
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 Teagarden died in 1964 at the age of 58. The cause was listed as pneumonia, but it is generally thought that it was from his overuse of alcohol. The Andy Griffith Show began in 1960 and Andy had been in a couple of very successful movies before that. He doesn’t say when he saw Jack, but it was obviously a “wish I woulda” moment that he let go by. I’m sure that “Big T” would have appreciated the meeting also.
Fun fact: the town next to mayberry andy frequently mentioned on his show was mount pilot, a nod to an actual place in NC, great pilot mountain. Its a beautiful place.
MY FAVORITE MEMORY OF ANDY IS HIM SITTING IN A BENCH IN THE VIDEO OF BRAD PAISLEY….”WAITIN ON A WOMAN”….Andy talking the words to the song…Andy and Brad doing that song /Video…..together….PERFECT!! makes me smile❤️ and i feel a bit sad too as it was the last thing Andy did before he passed away! that man was a sweetheart❤️
I watched him in a movie with Johnny Cash last night. Andy played a corrupt sheriff that ran the town like he wanted to. It was strange watching him play a bad guy. But he did great .
It was Johnny Cash that played a sheriff and Andy played a rich land owner who murdered a sharecropper based on a true story called murder in cayouta country.
As iconic as The Andy Griffith Show was, I'll always find time to sit down & watch whenever "A Face in the Crowd" airs. Andy was terrific in that movie.
I was five when the Andy Griffith show came out. I grew up on that and Mayberry RFD and probably seen every episode three times. Not to mention my three sons and Dennis the menace..
This might be the only time that Wagner was ever played on "The Tonight Show" ( and Wagner will almost certainly never be played on "The Tonight Show" ever again).
I'm 61, and I know this is my age talking, but I wonder how many current celebrities will be remembered 30-40 years from now with the same admiration that the older current generation thinks of the talent of our youth and our parents youth?
This content provider needs lots of KUDOS for these clips - they are clear, crisp, and very close to looking like they are remastered!!! Five stars for your efforts!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Those truly were the good old days. I love Andy Griffith, He was so humble and honest with a remarkable story of poverty ,working hard every thing American has ever stood for. The nation has turned away from God, and we are in a massive decline.
It's so odd and somehow comforting to hear this type of Show v.s. something like Jimmy Fallon, with scripted talks and recorded laugh and clap tracks. This is so slow, calm, and altogether real, with background coughing and slow talks.
i like seeing these clips of the show , that arent the ones everyone knows and see all the time.. andy was always viewed as wholesome and good natured, but i think he had a little wild streak as well.. he was awnry and smoked cigarettes on the show even...
Mr. Griffith was so strong in his craft and his ego that he could play villians, too. After The Andy Griffith Show he could have cruised into the twilight. He kept working and kept playing interesting characters throughout. The dude is pure gold.
Oh so very much a Honor to see these two together. Andy, Mr. Andy Griffith such gifts he gave, wholesomeness and immeasurable joy. Countless. Johnny Carson miss so very much, not like it used to be. Now, trash, bad jokes, political everything, although being informed important. Just those with NO TALENT always fall back on, and NOT FUNNY! Do not even waste my time on them. Or award blah, blah, blah.
@@SuburbanDon Andy's pace reminds me other old southern entertainers like Jerry Clower. Though this clip was way before my time, I'm not surprised that it seems a bit out of place in front of the LA audience. If this had been filmed at WRAL studios, the audience would have been roaring.
