From the 1986 HBO special "Don't get me started" Sammy Davis Jr and Brother Theodore rehearse "who's on first?" skit, and Brother Theodore doesn't understand the double talk......classic Billy Crystal
Brother Theodore was a genius. I caught his one man show at the 13th. St. theater in NYC in the 1980's. I had to hold my jacket up to my mouth I was screaming with laughter!
How....Why.... The reason for these men to be doing anything, together? This video clip is...language stops, as did reality. Did Mel Brooks have a say in this ...Rod Serling?
How have I never heard of this. So much comedic genius. Always loved Christopher Guest and the great Billy Crystal. But I have just discovered Brother Theodore a few weeks ago. What nut job. Love him.
This was great. I had never seen it before. Theodore was so brilliant. I almost did a spit take with my coffee. If you are old enough to have seen this guy perform live (as I did) then you are blessed.
Too funny. Awesome! Billy Crystal as Sammy Davis Jr., Christopher Guest as The Director, Eugene Levy as The Producer, and Bro Theodore as himself..... Later in this show, Theodore beats Sammy with a baseball bat !!
According to some of these posts, most do not. Crystal would often parody Sammy ins his act (something he likely could not do nowadays, without of incurring the wrath of SJW snowflakes everywhere)
Brother Theodore was brilliant as always, a cult hero. He was a holocaust survivor, read his bio. Never strayed from character. Merv Griffin loved him, so did Joey Bishop and Dave Letterman. I remember seeing him in TV as a teen and thinking he was a crazed fascist, never realizing the facade. RIP Brother Theodore, for as long as there is death there is hope. (a quote of his)
Considering his entire family was murdered by the Nazis and he only escaped a similar fate by signing over his family's fortune and fleeing to the United States, I am guessing he might have had some small reservations about playing such a role in an American sitcom.
I first saw him on TV as a kid in the 60's and he scared the crap out of me. I was a kid, I knew nothing of a person creating a character. He was brilliant though, as I would come to find as I got older.
@@TheSteveTheDragon I understand that. Crystal also does the most beautiful and loving impression of Ali. But it’s blackface and that’s not done nowadays. And we haven’t lost much because of it.
