This Is Your Life Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy (1954) 

Can we still see this BRONZE TABLET anywhere? 24:45 I'd love to see the tablet!

This was my grandpa's favorite duo we would watch them every time when us grandkid's would be over. Now that he's gone I cherish those memories we had watching these two. Thanks for the memories we'll never forget it!🥰

These guys are pure class and genius, so modest with it, RIP legends ❤️

ITS Nov 2018 And these Guys STILL RULE!!

They had an innocent type of comedy that is timeless and beautiful.. I remember as a child watching them and laughing so hard and I still do 50yrs later. I hope to see them in Heaven

Stan and Ollie are so sweet, so modest, and yet probably the best double act ever.

very humble men....sadly missed

Ralph Edwards was extremely rude and patronising towards both Stan and Oliver. These comic geniuses handled the presenter's cheap jibes extremely well but you can't help feeling uncomfortable for them both. Laurel and Hardy will forever be remembered for making us all laugh, God bless them X

God, these two were a pair. The amount of joy they poured into this sad and dark world. The delight, the sweet, gentle, endearing charm of these two. There's lots of great comedy. Lots of great comedians. But really, really, really funny men, these two.

Both boys were so humbled. This comedy duo laid down the foundations of movie film comedy today. Their films well me up in joy, laughter and tears. Masters of slapstick comedy. They are so missed. My 11 year old watches them. Pass on the flame. 💖 RIP L&H

worst presenter ever but Laurel and hardy amazing people with endless class 💚

These two had as much class as they had humor. Loved the comment by Ben Shipman about their dedication to each other's careers. There was never a better team in show business.

I am 72 loved them when they brought back all these old movies. Thanks to those who preserved these old movies.Please keep showing these movies for future generations. This is such an important part of American history.

I loved these two legends. No one will ever be as good. I still watch them now, over and over again and I never get tired of them. Poor Ollie was ailing here as just three years later he died but if there is a heaven, and I get in, I really hope I can meet these two.

What a fabulous treat for us baby boomers who grew up with Laurel and Hardy. I had never seen them outside of their routines.....FABULOUS!!

A lot of modern celebrities could learn a thing or three from the greatest comedy double act ever. My favourite line ever is from Stan "Ollie, a horse can be taken to water but a pencil must be lead" and I can still see Stanley doing that double take on hearing that. Thank you guys where ever you are for helping me and others smile when life has tried to wear us down 🇬🇧😃🇬🇧

*A TIME PAST WHEN COMEDY WAS TRUE TALENT, WHOLESOME AND WITHOUT VULGARITY OR SEXUAL INUENDOS TO GET A LAUGH!!* *LAUREL AND HARDY WERE AND STILL ARE THE KING OF COMEDY IN AMERICAN HISTORY!!!*

I've always loved Stan and Ollie. They were such sweethearts, their movies never cynical and they always had a good hearted innocence to them. A great "place" to visit when today's often grim realities get you down ; - )

I absolutely love these two guys they've been the best and remain the best in HISTORY. RIP great ones gone but never forgotten .

A MOST interesting "Line" given by Ben Shipman who was the longtime manager and partner of Laurel and Hardy. He said of L&H, "The most enjoyable and most wonderful part about working with them has been to observe the extreme loyalty to one another and the desire to please one another. And the desire to make each other successful." -These are all qualities people of today overlook. Everyone is so damn selfish and self-centered nowadays that this kind of sentiment has been forgotten. No wonder most people are floundering. -Bill Howes.

Their hats complete their comic character. may God bless them they will be alive in our hearts forever.❤️❤️❤️🌹

I am a Persian. About thirty years ago, when we were still in war with Iraq, the religious mullahs who still rule in Iran caused us to cry every day because of the martyrs who they used to bringing them from battlefields or due to death anniversaries of the Islamic Imams, who were killed in one thousand four hundred years ago, we had to crying every day. In general, life was very sad and depressed. But at the same time, almost once in a season, we had the opportunity to smile a little while watching Laurel and Hardy. In your opinion, if heaven exists, it deserves those who cry people or those who smile people? thank you Laurel and Hardy. sorry that my English writing is weak!

127 years after hardy was born its still the best ever , my sons 11 +12 wouldn't watch it at first saying its way to old in the stone age one said , but now they scream laughing especially when oliver gets stuffed The one with the boat when laurel cut the mast while oliver was painting it . Omg they screamed laughing

It's great to see the two comic geniuses laugh, especially after they've given the gift of laughter to so many others.

The sweetness and kindness are radiating from them, who noticed the deep sadness within Stan??

The purest, kindest, most talented comedians in the world. We will always love you x

Love Laurel and Hardy, the best duo ever and 2 loveable personalitys, Oliver had a beautiful singing voice, gone but never forgotten, their films will keep generations laughing for another 100 years, RIP guys and thankyou for the humor for all these years

2019 and still keeping a smile on my face. Were are all so lucky that they found each other.

Laurel and Hardy's comedy is a priceless heirloom passed down from generation to generation, Never equalled.

COMEDY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME WITH GREAT COMEDIANS LIKE THIS....

Last night I saw the film "Stan and Ollie" . ALL fans should see this fine film. It's a winner.

I like to thank Laurel and Hardy, for being the best comedians that ever lived. Through tough times the world went through, like Americas Great Depression and World war 2, we all needed something to laugh at through these trying times, and Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy rose to the screen and delivered true comedy and slapstick for everyone to laugh and smile at. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, where ever you are now, thank you for bringing comedy and slapstick that made the world not miserable, but jolly and happy. Making others happy is what we all do best and you two knew how to create good laughter, even in today's generation. Thank you for being here Laurel and Hardy. You both are true comedy geniuses : )

I was not quite a year old when this show aired, but I remember watching Laurel and Hardy all through my childhood, and I STILL watch them in March of the Wooden Soldiers every Thanksgiving.

Here's what happened. It took a while for them to get to the studio, then go on the air because Stan felt he and Oliver needed to go over some "schtick" to do, as what they do is certainly not spontaneous or improvised. By some accounts, there were other celebs dragged onto the show that disliked the experience, but then there were others that enjoyed it as well. Stan didn't want to appear at all, and Oliver was just being polite. It was live television, so the celebs couldn't just say "No thanks, I'd rather not". While Hal Roach Jr. appears on the show, Hal Roach Sr. does not. Creative differences with Hal Roach Sr. caused Laurel and Hardy to go to other studios, only to have the quality of their later films decline, and they actually had much less creative freedom under the new studios. However, they maintained a good relationship with Hal Jr.

I am only 50 and this show brought me so many tear and joy just to know that my parents watched these two fine men. I wish that I could go back in their times, because those were the good old days without people getting killed when going to the grocery stores, or schools were never masacre by a mental disturbed kid. God may have them both seated on his side.

It's sad that life changes so much and leaves such treasures behind 😢rip Great human beings the greatest comedy duo of all time RIP😢😢😢❤🌹

thank god for laurel and hardy , they brought laughter to my childhood and great memories of me and my father watching them and laughing together r.i.p

they seemed like such humble and down to earth folks wish i could have met them in life, perhaps in the next one i will

My brother and I grew up with Laurel and Hardy during the 80's and raised our own kids watching them as well. I hope they do the same with their kids in the future.

Came here after seeing the film 'Stan & Ollie'. To my understanding this was quite shortly after their British-Irish tour after which they had retired since their health wasn't improving due to aging. I don't know if they had decided on it before this show (I think they had), but the moment Stan puts on his bowler hat for just a jiffy he is back immediately lol. Timeless and they were true buddies to the bitter end. Their comedy was real authentic and sponteniously genuine, unlike the typical must-be-looking-funny-scripting-acting and fake smiling. Stan did write all gags in detail but they were effortless in execution. Really funny. And they still are !

Adore Laurel and Hardy. Their comedy was always extremely amusing. I grew up watching their movies and still continue to enjoy them.

Some people should live eternally and never die, these two men are the biggest example of it. They are legends and made us all happy with their movies.

My Saturdays as a kid was watch laurel n hardy what laughs I had thanks fellas God bless

Stan Laurel was a comic genius. He would write many of the gags. I read where Mr. Laurel didn't want to go on because he thought the show was stupid.

Wow watching these kinds of classics you can't help but feel the warmth and smile! My how times were different back then!

with out doubt the best comedy duo the world as ever seen

Laurel and Hardy are wonderful. I get a warm, smiley feeling whenever I see them. I used to watch them with my dad when I was younger and we laughed ourselves daft XD truly, talented men.

True comic genius. One of the few that went from silent film to talkies with even greater success. Hate to watch them put through this.

These guys are Timeless, u could never get tired watching these legends

It was wrong to bring up Hardy’s tragic experience of trying to save his drowned brother. You could see the broken heartedness, the poor man had a flashback.

Stan and Ollie epitomize the best of what entertainment and comedy are all about. Such nice sweet and down to earth gentleman the likes of which are not likely to be seen again.

My dad got me into Laurel and Hardy and they were incredible comedians but this does not do them justice.

I'm actually teary-eyed just now..... going back to my early boyhood and laughing. Things seemed so innocent then. Great clip!

That's so sad about Ollie trying to save his brother from drowning. :'(

I really miss them! And I wasn’t even born when this was filmed.

Two great comedians and great friends. one British and one from the USA.

Correction: This is their only live television appearance in the USA. In 1953, Stan and Babe appeared on a live BBC television broadcast of Face the Music with Henry Hall. Unfortunately, this show was not preserved, but notes have been recently discovered. According to the notes, Ollie informs Stan that the TV program has an audience of six million and that host Henry Hall is "going to introduce us to them". To which Stan replies "That's going to take a long time, isn't it?"

They don't make 'em like they used to Comedy isn't the same anymore and never will be Long live the best and funniest comedy double act of all time RIP to you both As far as I'm concerned, both these guys are LEGENDS !!!!!

The biggest comics of all times, they made generations laugh and continue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I grew up in India watching them on the big screen as we had no TV in those days.

They were so wonderful. I enjoyed being able to see them outside of a film, but this program's rude treatment made me sad.

Wonderful episode. Shows the team as two real people. Showed their behind the scene lives which enhances who they were and gives insight to how their loveliness was such a big part of why they worked so well together on screen.

Sod the presenter,Laurel and Hardy,True gentlemen and comedy legends,RIP both, Thank you for making me and many others laugh so much.

True gents and legends,gone a long time,before most of us were born,yet we still miss them❤️

Thank you so much for posting this. I loved watching the old comedies when I was a boy in the early 1960s. Every Christmas the BBC would broadcast Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton, the Keystone Cops, and Charlie Chaplin films and my granddad and I would sit in front of the telly to watch them. They still make me laugh today.

i dearly love the stan and oliver comedy shows, GOD BLESS THERE HEARTS AND SOULS !!!!!

Ahhh, the days before Facebook. "You haven't seen each other for 45 years!"

Its really deeply touching and impressive what sympathetic gentlemen these two great talents were.

Love these two... Can’t wait until the movie comes out about them.

The host obviously loves to hear HIMSELF talk! What an unbelievable blabber!

Laurel and Hardy: Walks into studio: Ollie: Notices presenter Stanley: Proceeds to walk straight in without thinking Hardy: well here's another nice mess you've got me into.

Two great personalities that I grew up watching on TV. And Ralph Edwards had one great show, This is Your life. I never missed it.

I ❤️ laurel And Hardy

For so many generations they made the whole world laugh, and they are not done yet. They deserved every single penny they made.

I'm in my late 60's and remember getting up early on Saturday mornings and among other things, watched Laurel and Hardy movies. They were so funny. Did anyone else see the one where Stanley had been in the VA hospital after WWI with amnesia? Oliver was to pick him up, so Stanley went outside and sat on a bus bench. He looked over to see newspaper in a wheelchair nearby and sat on it to read the paper. After a while Stanley put one leg up and sat on it. Oliver saw him when he arrived and proceeded to carry Stanley everywhere for several days thinking he was missing a leg. Several days later, Stanley got up and walked with two legs of course and Oliver was quite upset saying to Stanely, "Why didn't you tell me you had two legs?!" Stanley's simple reply was "Well, you didn't ask!!" I hated to see these two guys smoking their way to an early death. Actors were either paid or picked up the habit of smoking as it was considered sophisticated at the time. Hollywood and tobacco companies had a strong relationship at one time. I'm glad those days are over.

i have to admit oliver hardy has a beautiful singing voice!! And both of them laurel and hardy are a blessing to USA to be in a clean funny comedy shows!!! i love them both, GOD BLESS STAN AND OLLIE XOXOXOX

is anyone in comedy Loved more than these two?...i doubt it.

Two of the funniest men the world has ever seen. Could watch all there films every day, and not get bored

Did you notice when Ralph Edwards said Ollie was born 10 pounds and Ollie corrected him and said 14? Ollies weight was always part of the comedy. And Stans forte was his facial expressions and gestures not his voice. They were great!

This is so special, I have never seen it. I love these two comics, I would laugh so hard. Shedding a few tears , now, I'm 71 years old , such good memories for all of us.

Forever in our hearts and minds 😍💐

With their unique gift they made history and will be loved and remembered as long as mankind exists- that is for sure.

Laurel & Hardy...Legends...

"You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil mus be." Stan Laurel. Live by this.

Apparently Stan Laurel was pissed about this. He and Hardy had planned on doing something special for TV and was deeply upset that their television debut was on a rinky-dink unrehearsed show.

My favourite comedians of all time.i love them.miss them.😭😭😭😭😭 my childhood.i brought as much vhs dvds of them as much as i could .👑kings 👑of comedy 🎩ats off ....

you guys need to understand, if you're not old enough, that these shows were not near as scripted and choreographed as today. It was often ad libbed and very natural. Put yourself there and be perfect.

Since my childhood, I admire Mr. Stan Laurel and Mr. Oliver Hardy !! They were wonderful artists whose humor has shaped me my whole live.. Thank you for so many nice hours of joy ! I will never forget these great men. Heartly greetings from Germany

I really wish Ralph Edwards would shut up.

Stan was a very sweet and nice man.

Great comedians always to remember.

What a wonderful show with two of the most loved comedians of all time.

Super pair. All participants were good. Loads of negative comments on the presentation but to be fair the outlook of people back in the 50's was far less sensitive than nowadays. It's so politically and emotionally correct these days it's almost impossible to be honest with ones views without upsetting somebody. The lady that brought up the death of Oliver's brother I'm sure only wanted to amplify his bravery. She meant no harm with that I'm sure. Yep, references to weight are taboo, but back then these things were like water of ducks back to these formidable characters, people spoke as it was back then. The presenter was just trying to get rapport as Oliver himself used his size in a comedic way...Rest in laughter gentlemen. I love ya...

Their managers comments were very moving. You could tell they were truly heartfelt.

Back in the day when a smoke was just fine.

I watched this as a child! So glad it can be seen in this day and age!

In an alternate take Hardy finally has enough, gets up, and with a single punch to the jaw sends the obnoxious host flying backward off the set.

I used to look forward to see them on television. When I used to be a little boy.

They still make me laugh out loud. Thanks for posting this video

Two giants of comedy, the likes of which haven't been equaled to this day.The best comedy duo of all time.
