Parkinson Interviews: George Burns & Walter Matthau 1976 

shows that the swearing is totally unnecessary

@@QueenBee-mk8xm Although swear words are not funny themselves, they may improve a joke or a story if used correctly.

@@tankbuggeru I don´t agree that they improve a joke. They can change the impact of the joke, yes, but improve, no I would say not necessary.

Swearing made George Carlin even funnier.

@@jonathanrice1070 no, just vulgar

Amen

Grumpy Old Men

@Hello John how are you doing

And so cool.

I laughed hard with that line.

For sure

That is what was so good about Parkinson, he got great guests and let them talk.

I totally agree and probably why Michael was, arguably, the best chat show interviewer there was. He genuinely loved the people on his show and he would let them speak and go wherever they wanted to go, which is what helped to make it so enjoyable.

@@scarfhs1 Hello

Oh yes fab😊

Your so right

☘️🇨🇮

Charlie varrick oh yes what a film fabulous

yes, Walter is just in awe and enjoyment

I totally agree the The Odd Couple really stands out like no other comedy a genius Neil Simon but coupled with great actors and the right music it was ingenious

Yes..enter! My father loved that line! Rip Pop!

Mystery Shopper Foooook you, idiot. (No Jew is that, it seems.)

im much more impressed with charles manson

Well what can I say the quality of the people seem to be a high Bar. It is this level these days that don't seem to meet up with this caliber these men. There are some exceptions. After watching the interview bye Michael Parkinson, it felt enriching observing the exchanges between the three parties a real Delight. This interview made me think of my dad and the love of my life which sing share that same dynamic in their bonding male friendships which may be very pleased and proud I in which I also felt enriched when I observe them bonding thought of them when I was watching this interview on RU-vid distinguishes between men and boys. This interview reminded me of the way that the love of my life and my dad bonded way I saw Walter Matthau and George Burns relate to one another a dynamic that I appreciate between men of caliber a dynamic I look kind of love between them emerged. So I think you Michael Parkinson you added to the Delight of the exchanges and it left me feeling enriched one more time thank you for I give my homage to the real men in this world. difference that is if you haven't already but aspire to it it's a wonderful experience in growth that I observed in the male species aspired to be a man not just a male and there are many but they're need to many more.!

@@mysteryshopper7296 lol

the rich low life crooks always lie about other rich people making beleive they are very smart or very talented this american bs have been going on for many years no poor person is stupid enough to fall for it

Indeed. Recently I've been seeing in youtube interviews from other shows with other classic actors and it's not uncommon that the hosts often appear to be obnoxious or even rude.

Have you Robert Mitchum on Parkinson? He was quite unpleasant.

We can if we get rid of cable.

The Authority we don’t have them in America. Sad. The few which are supposed to be are argyle political talk with guests who are promoting movies etc. and are on for a few mins. then they leave. So for them, it’s a short promotional assignment.

@ What does your comment mean? I'm sure you are a hit at parties and you are quite creative but why did you write "Dumbness?" Try and make some sense and reply in a gentle way. OK go..

@@SenorZorrozzz that is what they were doing here. Promoting a movie.

Now they just babble about subjects they know nothing about and it’s quite frankly embarrassing.

I agree, even though the word celebs wasn't bandied around at that time.

theUroshman Wyatt Earp. 🤓🎓✍️

theUroshman Wyatt Earp died in 1929 at age 80 and George Burns started acting in films in the 1920s before he did stage work.

To be honest I never noticed what pants he was wearing.

@Selena sue It's unclear to which film you're referring as I specifically mentioned FOUR. If English is your native tongue, your communication skills are woefully lacking.

First Monday is one of my favourite films also. Lemmon and Matthau were in some classics together (OC, Buddy Buddy etc), but each also did many wonderful films in their own right. Have you seen Hopscotch?

@@Tupelo927 Selena went....

Don't worry about negative comments. I liked your comments. The New Leaf is one of my favourite films.

@@ingridlinbohm7682 Thank you for your kind words, Ingrid.

And they should be delighted in one another quality begetting quality. Their exchange added to my delight

@Hello Albertus how are you doing

GooGoo and Natty, perhaps the greatest duo of anyone’s lifetime.

Them days they didnt need an ego, they and us all knew they were talented so didn't need to play up to one

All SO true! Now, especially on cable TV, i don’t see any stars. Usually reality tv as it’s titled. Seems to me unemployed people competing for a paycheck.on some programs, such as game shows or “survival” competitions or competing for mates, like with roses or allowing wealthy men choose a bride, ie: The Bachelor. I think that’s the spin on these, as I can’t watch them bc I always simply worked for a living. Finally opted for the cheapest cable/landline phone/wifi package in my rural area with a monopoly now that I’m retired, but might soon just use my smart TV & get a cheap smartphone since I was the youngest family member & am now an elder. Landline meant a lot to me for my elders but is mostly a nuisance now with robocalls now so…I’m the last dinosaur in my family weighing only 69 pounds so perhaps it’s time for me to live instead of waiting to die LoL! Reboot time at only 60, right? Disabled but could outrun the grim reaper if I quit playing the game ;) My new life begins tomorrow. GBU all & wish me well please. ~

Apsolutely 💯💯💯

He will outlive all of us!
