I remember that from when I was a kid. They just don't make 'em like that any more. I had sort of forgotten how hot Angie Dickenson was. Daaayuuum!!! And, "A board of directors of a massage parlor".. :rofl::rofl: Good stuff. Thanks!

I remember watching those. Good clean fun and they didn't have to use a cuss word in every sentence.:cert:

Wife surprised me with a trip to Key West for my 70th b/day......and on that trip we had reservations to an auditorium of about 2000 folks, to see 'The Rat Pack' which is a well done group imitating the real folks, and the guys doing Martin was funny as hell, the whole skit was worth seeing.....

and the comments are correct, those were the greatest entertainers, the rest of the crap/stuff today can't come close......that of course in a generality, but I feel totally true.....

I used to watch these with my parents. I don't know that I ever saw my mom and dad laugh harder. These were genuinely talented and funny performers.

This is Foster Brooks roasting Sammy Davis Jr. Has to be one of the funniest damn things I've ever watched.

I also heard that when Brooks hugged Sammy at the end he said "I love you Sam. You're the best."

Why can't we have people like this now?

Foster Brooks was a staple of the roast, and never stepped out of character.

Another favorite was Ruth Buzzi when she did Gladys Ormphby
