There’s something about seeing these 2 legends drinking tea. Phil calling Dean baby and hun is just awesome and you can see Dean loved it. Sure you can tell there were some mistakes in the clip but they played off it. This was television gold. This was entertainment. I can’t wait until my niece is older so I can show her the classics, including this.
The reason Dean was the best, was because he would do it so effortlessly with such humor. He had the voice of a drunk angel and yet he’d hit insane vocal lunges without breaking a sweat. He made it look so easy, all the while being hysterical
Great old vaudeville act. These two men were the two coolest men to ever share a stage. Dean throw just tosses out the line I want to hear the band and “Les Brown”.
I just absolutely LOVE the sexy swagger of security in their masculinity to be "cute" and use the pet names, the "babies" and they are genuinely amused. No flexing nuts to be macho, just coooool as the other side of the pillow. Minus the racism, I would've liked to live in this era of men and women❤And both of their voices🥺😍Oh...!
Two great entertainers -- consummate professionals who made it look easy, And in this sketch they're genuinely having fun, and you can see the mutual admiration for each other's talent.
Dean Martin & Phil Harris enjoying an afternoon soirée. This was great! I'm 57 now, but I'll never forget the afternoon soirées my mother would have on our screened-in back porch. She'd invite the ladies from our neighborhood and I'd always eat the leftover tea sandwiches.
Love PH's voice accent. Who can forget O'Malley the Alley Cat & other characters he so brilliantly performed....never heard a more charming alleycat!!!😻
Mr Harris used to visit a hotel bar where I also used to spend some time. He was the life of the bar, but he wasn't drinking tea... it was nice to see a celebrity who wasn't so full of himself that he couldn't mix with the locals in Monterey, California, and leave under his own steam. 😊
How awesome this performance was. Phil Harris and Dean Martin didn't disappoint me one bit! The legends.. It was so much fun and laughters watching this video. They'll always be remembered. Thank you for uploading. 🎄Happy holidays🙂to all.
IMO I think they were so good friends that they could read each other. I don't think you could pull it off as good as they did if you did not have that chemistry.
Dean Martin and Phil Harris both cultivated the showbiz persona of affable drunks. For years Harris was a regular on the Jack Benny Show where he was the orchestra leader and was the constant but of jokes about his supposed drinking. Martin really was a heavy drinker, though never during or immediately before shows. But he had a reputation as one of the great Hollywood party animals (back when that didn't imply anything chemical). It was said he was the only man who could drink his pal Frank Sinatra under the table.
During one appearance, Phil was getting a little loose with the blue ad libs. As Dean was recovering from one of his laughing fits, Phil said, "I don't know what you're sellin' but I'll end it!" Game, set and match!
There was something cut out at 00:09. The tea service was brought out by some young ladies and Phil said something naughty. I know because I saw it when it was broadcast.
