Not only was it written by the great Leigh Brackett, who wrote The Big Sleep and The Empire Strikes Back, but it has to be one of the few western movies where they actually carry around boxes of shells and reload their guns.
@@Repps87Dean was no more an alcoholic than Foster Brooks was. An alcoholic may be funny for a very short period of time until they just sound stupid or obnoxious or worse. Both those gentlemen were funny because they were witty and knew how to play the drunk.
Much of it was an act but during this time of Dean's life you never knew which Dean was going to show up. Johnny wasn't just playing along here...Dean was, in fact, sloshed a great deal. After his son died Dean's drinking went into overdrive.
His son died in 1987...this was 1980..so he was all pilled up way before the death of his son...I read numerous times about his problems with perscription drugs!!!
‘U make a good nightlight n ur monologue puts me to sleep, just right’…lol..lol…he had it right…Looney Anderdon…never understood the draw of the bleached blond hair n the frozen face …did they have botox back then?..certainly had bad lip fillers
Watched Johnny Carson since 1970. I knew that once he called it quits in 1992, nighttime talk would never be that great or interesting again. 32 years later in 2024 and I still believe that.
@@Tomatohater64 not to mention he showed Joan Rivers his penis once ..true story...also he cut off 💰 monetary support to one son after he found out he was dating a black woman💁🏾♀️
@@collette9008 Foster was so incredibly talented. One time he was doing a performance on the "Tonight Show", teetering about as he rambled on to the audience in his usual drunken gibberish, and as usual I was wondering, how could that possibly be an act? And then he bowed, the audience applauded, and, instantly sober now, he strode smartly over to sit beside Johnny, and the two had a perfectly normal conversation together! There are a few hillarious skits with him and Dean Martin together on RU-vid, too.
I never missed the opportunities either and rewatching them just takes me to another place in time, just for a little while. Brings back so many great memories of watching with my parents or grandparents. I miss those days. I miss my loved ones, Johnny Carson, the Rat Pack, and Dean Martin/his roasts. They’re never too old to watch over and over so I appreciate that we have the good fortune to watch as many times as we like! I just miss it all.
What blows me away, Johnny's show was from 1962 to 1992, thirty years. seemed like forever, but, he retired in 1992 which is 34 years ago, hard to believe, he has been gone longer than he was on the show.
You don’t have to miss the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. There are free, yes I said free streaming apps that have dedicated Johnny Carson channels. You can watch Johnny Carson 24 hours a day seven days a week.
Dean never drank!! What a fantastic actor, comedian & awesome singer!! And nobody will ever top Johnny Carson as a talk show host!!! Both hilarious!!!!! 😂🤣😂
Saying Dean Martin NEVER drank is like saying Dean Martin Never smoked......Yes he drank , but the drunk act was a " put on ".....Now there are those who say after his eldest son died -- he was never the same and began drinking & smoking way too much. And then he was diagnosed with cancer -- he did quit smoking , but too late......
Here's what his daughter, Deanne said about his drinking to the LA Times: The truth of the matter, she said, was her father was swigging apple juice and not liquor when he performed. "He would be home for dinner every night," Martin said. "He would come home, and he and mom would have their one cocktail at the bar. He was kind. He was so different from what everybody thought he was. There was no one who could do Dean Martin better than Dean Martin."
Would of like to had a night on the town with these two. Saw Johnny in Vegas one night. A very good show. He was more bold then he could be on TV. Miss watching them back in the day.
Wow those were the days, Dean smoking a cigarette, then Johnny lights up a cigarette ON AIR, and good old genuine laughs !!!! Those were the best shows ever !
Never again will there be such REAL talent. Dean was one of the best ad libbers ever, and no one ever realized it, like his singing at the drop of a dime, he was so smooth. Compared to the moron's today, this was incredible.
Funny thing is, he never drank! It was all an act! Incredible! What a talent! One of the best comedians ever walked that earth! I say that, being born the year that episode was filmed, in East Germany ☺️
Dino had something that one thing Frank wanted to have, his humor and the way his jokes effortless kept coming. I love Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, very lucky to have seen their shows in Vegas, exceptional true performers and fantastic gentleman, sorely miss them.
Dean Martin was a loving family man who made sure he sat down every night to have dinner with his family. He loved his kids and turned down lucrative roles and contracts if it kept him away. We need more men like him
Not an act this time......he was pretty tipsy. He never drank when he was working......but on Johnny's show, he'd had a few. He did drink on his off-time.
I used to watch the Dean Martin roasts & the Johnny Carson shows with my Dad & we watched the old Hollywood stars together. Good memories of times with my Dad
I didn't live in the time of Carson (More like Conan, Letterman, Ferguson) but damn I'm glad to be able to appreciate all of this now. I wish entertainers were still like this, actually worth watching and listening to.
Dean was 62 here; his health deteriorated significantly through the 80's, dying from acute respiratory failure resulting from emphysema in 1995 at 78; Johnny died from the same cause in 2005 at 79.
Italians have regilion closer than anyone, they surely know what they speak about.. The humor on the other hand it's amazing., everyone says what they pleased on this show which I think it's very clever! #TonightShow #JohnnyCarson #DeanMartin #2024MX❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Just one question. How did the US go from how it was then to what it is now? Uh-huh. Not all things improve with time. Some, in fact, get decidedly worse.
Absolute LEGENDS!!! The manufactured frauds of today could learn heaps from these gentlemen! The fact that everyone is in on the joke the whole time makes this even better. I miss this stuff sooo much!
In Dean's early days, his drunkenness was just an act. Unfortunately, the truth is that after the tragic death of his son, it was no longer an act. He couldn't handle the death of his son. It absolutely destroyed him and it was sad to see the way he lost his spark and joy. But even while he was drunk, he was still just as loveable and charming. He never gave up! Love Dean Martin!
This was a GREAT act ! Dean was actually perfectly sober. At the end, when the cameras were off. Dean said to the audience "How was that?" and showed them that he was completely sober. He told them to keep the secret, that only they knew, and all the television audience would believe it and never know
That joke Dean was repeating that Johnny told him backstage is a very racist one. Dean might have been sloshed, but he definitely wanted to make Johnny squirm on that one publicly as Dean was a supporter of the civil rights movement. Smooth while sloshed. Complex men, complex times.
He is a comic genius... So many ppl thought he was really drunk and he was never working tanked. Was all an act. He's reading cue cards like on SNL w some adlib too... Cracks me up. His willingness to do physical comedy during his early movie career with Jerry Lewis win my respect because alot of stars would never have let themselves get dumped out of a barber chair on their head for a laugh. Dean is a national treasure! Side note, so apparently Arnold Schwarzenegger used to have an office building he rented out to celebs, movie directors etc and Johnny was a tenant, he said in real life Johnny was super serious and talked about politics and real issues of the day and never really any comedy. Thought that was interesting. :)
These guys lived a life nobody can ever dream of back in a time before politics had to ruin everything in life. Our minds today cant even comprehend how awesome their lives were.
Don Rickles was close with Sonatra and Dean. Rickles said many times that Dean was a gentleman. He said that Dean was a private man and loved to stay at home.
