The reference to CPO SHARKY dates this episode somewhere between 1976-78. The reference to the NORTON YOUNG fight dates it to 1977, so this was taped in the Fall of 1977 or Winter 1978.
Is there an archive of all Frank Rosenthal Show episodes? I've lately developed a fondness for watching vintage 60s/70s talk shows featuring legends like Rickles and Sinatra.
Somewhere in the early to mid 70's. The early 70's is when he started taking care of the casinos, so must have been a few years until all that stuff happened with his license mishaps. And that is when he started the show.
Frank Rosenthal , Kids have all the tapes from the shows. and many hrs and hrs of Home Movies, I been begging them for yrs to make them public. But they are Honoring there Father's wishes. He did not want them to be show again.
Hard to believe people watched this, it is terrible. Why did they give this show to Rosenthal? They should have had him hide upstairs and said he was a janitor or something. Should have taken a job that was quiet.
I doubt it, that this even survives is amazing. Rosenthal said on his website that he was looking for the masters and nobody knew if there were any in existance. Also remember this show only aired about once a month, erratically, after midnight. IOW, it was low budget even then.
This is great! Don Rickles & Robert DeNiro knew Rosenthal! Here's the proof. DeNiro claimed, that he knew "Lefty"... Of course what's GREAT, is both of them were in the movie "Casino"....
every time i hear the beginning of that eagles song life in the fast lane the part with the drum beat (0:24) i can almost see the cocaine on the mirror in the recording studio LOL.
@0ptimyze OK, now I DO mean to be rude. It was a question. That's all. I am tired of faceless internet trolls going out of their way to be rude and mean spirited to other internet trolls. SO SORRY I didn't look it up. It was just a question. Wasn't an indictment against bestoluck, or you, or anyone else who read my question. It was simply that. Thank you for your illuminating answer and your smart ass reply.
Mr. R makes the mistake of thinking being a talk show host is easy. It may look easy but it isn't. I remember doing this sort of nonsense on cable access. I looked as wooden as Mr. R.
EnergeticWaves People watched it tho. I would get people stopping me in grocery stores saying they'd seen it. Pretty funny from that aspect. But once I realized the personal safety issues, I gave it up.
@bestoluck1 Don't mean to be rude here, but how is this proof that DeNiro knew him? It is obvious that Rickles did and Sinatra. I don't see how that is proof of DeNiro.
the only reason i am watching this is because of sinatra and rickles the show itself is really bad, and you can tell that rickles and sinatra know it is really bad
