His defining role. Fine actor. "Puttin' on the Ritz"!

Dancing w/that heavy suit and makeup on was exhausting I'm sure.

 

[CAVPUT]

Yup! And had to purchase a special VHF antennae to pick up a fourth channel.

Of course, back then, no one had a gay channel.

We just put 3 pieces of aluminum foil on the antenna wire and moved them up and down to get stuff. The original pirate bay?

Gotta share my daily life with someone ... might as well be with you sweetie.

You started something with the angus cheesesteak.
Now I want a 6 inch.

Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern?

There was another dude that had a show that would eat huge amounts of food.
I always liked to watch his show. I can't recall the name of it right now.

Sorry if I missed anyone's correct answer, but if not, the above are still unidentified.
These are all from the '60s. (But I'm learning a lot from the ones posted from this century!)

I have a hunch that "Well bless your pea-pickin' little heart!" is Tennessee Ernie Ford or someone in that era. Have no idea where he was a guest. Will guess at The Opry.

I wonder if "Whoa, Nellie-belle!" is where the old sports announcer Keith Jackson got his “Whoa, Nellie!” exclamation. No idea as to its source, or any of the others.

He's on the History Channel now days adding commentary to some show.

Adam Richman.. the show was "Man vs Food".

Believe me--there are worse things for your brain than having missed "the vast wasteland" that was TV in the early '60s!
(To generate that level of mental damage today, you'd probably have to watch a full hour of TikTok.)

May 9, 1961, President Kennedy's new FCC chairman addressing television executives:

For Minow to claim that when TV is good nothing is better is bizarre. I guess he was sucking up.

I remember a time or two TN Ernie Ford (RIP) would be on Hee Haw.

Good Lord. The Heavens have opened up. I might want to finish that Ark.
