I was born September 5, 1961. We are close to the same age. I know every person you mentioned. I am enthralled with history of America and Americans! Mine more radio related but I absolutely love this was and IS your absolute destiny! We never would have thought we would have this type of way to share what we cared about as kids!!!!! Love your channel. God bless!
Thank you, Joe. Yep, I was born a few weeks before you actually! I am a total nostalgic kind of guy as you can see! Loved your comments about my work! Much appreciated!
to think Jimmy Carter is still with us! :) 96 years of age!! :)
hi pal recently discovered your excellent channel watching your back to the future 3 video when things go back to normal and you have spare time could you please make a video of the buddy holly crash site thanks for the videos your new Glaswegian subscriber
I was born in February 1977
Amazing stories that only a kid from the 60's could tell. I remember all of these people you talk about and your parents did a great job of supporting your ambitions. Love the videos and love time traveling with you.
Thank you, Mark! Yeah I didn't think so at the time but it was a great time to grow up looking back!
Interesting; I was living in Yosemite Valley when the Queen came through and, being in management for the concessionaire, was required to show up at the valley chapel to greet (and of course NOT speak to anyone, let alone her majesty!) the queen's party before and after church services. A close friend was a paramedic in Mariposa during that time; I can't recall if he was involved on the call to the crash. I'll have to ask him next time we talk!
It's a great accomplishment on your part Sir Jeff. Only few media staff were granted to be near the head of state and dignitaries. What a great memory to be treasured for a lifetime. Best wishes.
I watched Bonanza and High Chapperal with my folks in my childhood. Such innocent times when life was easier! Thanks for a trip down memory lane! Take care and God bless🙏
Glad you enjoyed it! Life did seem a lot easier ... and less expensive! But I also remember my mom going grocery shopping in the late 1960s and she spent so much we thought Dad was going to kill her. She spent a whopping $40. Ha ha!
Lyle Waggoner passed away just yesterday. I remember him from the Carol Burnett show...as a young girl I always watched it with my mom, who, sadly, I lost this past August.
I enjoy your videos, keep them coming!
Yeah you know I just saw that. I googled his name right after I uploaded today and saw he died yesterday. Sad. He was a nice man!
Me too
Excellent video Jeff. I really enjoyed hearing all the different stories. I like to follow politics too. Trump 2020. Take care man.
Thank you. I agree with 2020!
Love your persistence. Thanks for sharing.
Jeff not only do you show us History but now we see just how much of it you was part of it Thankyou for sharing
I only wish I had been a little older to remember Walt Disney! Thanks for watching!
Boy ! You had great parents who would take you to these events when you was a child! You was blessed.
I am blessed and did have good parents! Thank you!
Umm 🤔 you said hometown like 4 times So confused on where you’re actually from now
Stockton, Modesto, Oakdale Something else we love you guys out here in Stockton make tons of more videos
I get to see tons of celebrities, CEOs, billionaires , politicians and presidents on a daily but don’t have the luxury to get autographs and pictures
#Executive protection agent
Thanks for watching! My hometown has changed a few times since I was a kid so that's why I refer to "hometown" a lot. We will be making more videos! Thanks! Too bad you can't get the autographs but understand why.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks!---Two Mules for Sister Sarah!---Great stories in your telling of this one (I'm catching up!)
Neat video. Interesting. Saw that you liked meeting Lee Majors, never met him but I did meet Lt Col Bruce Peterson, the test pilot who was in the plane crash which inspired the series when I was serving in the USMC
That was great. Jimmy Carter came to Corbin Ky and taught my mother in law’s Sunday school class about 6yrs ago she said he was amazing.
He had the softest hand I ever felt in our handshake!
Wow, what an assortment of people you have encountered! Thank you for the vlog!
I enjoyed the vlog very much thanks for sharing Jeff.
Can't wait till I get to see the next part.
Thank you very much, Linda! The second part is in the works! Thanks again!
Very interesting, you have met many famous people. Thank you. Lynn from England ❤️😘
Thank you, Lynn from England! Much appreciated! Look for part 2 soon!
Always enjoy your videos. Living on the east coast I got to meet a lot of Broadway stars. I wrote to Bobby Van when he was in Nanette in 1971 and he invited me backstage if I get to NY. The show ran for 2 years and I visited him every time we went to NY. He sent me a Christmas card every year until he died in 1981. Those were precious times so I really appreciate your two videos of your experiences. Thanks
I’m so impressed with your memories and photos of celebrities you have met!
You certainly made the most of the days of “Lockdown” during the first year of the Covid Pandemic. Your stories of celebrity encounters are so interesting without boasting! I could tell that you were really in awe of meeting President Ronald Reagan. Great impression of Mr. Reagan, Jeff! I like the variety of celebrities you’ve met and photographed! Congratulations on the invitation to President Jimmy Carter’s inauguration! I loved Slim Pickens’s distinctive “cowboy” accent!
I give you credit for asking for autographs and drawings! I’ve taken photos of celebs but way too shy to ask for a signature.
I have one autograph from Carol Channing when she was in Stockton.
I think that you are a “celebrity” in your own right! If I have the good fortune to meet you and Sarah, may I ask for your autographs? Your fan in Stockton, Mo’
Thank you, Maureen. It is a fun hobby for sure. And absolutely we can sign our names for you if we ever get to bump into each other.
Lee Majors' autograph! You were so lucky to have met him back then. I was a big fan of The Six Million Dollar Man too! Had a lot of the toy sets and action figures!
Yes I was a HUGE Lee Majors fan and had to pinch myself when I was in his presence! LOL. Thanks for watching!
It's great that you got to see Mr.Carter. He was too moral to be president. A man who told the country the truth, and he tried to do the best job that he could do for the country. You've really had a interesting life and it's continuing to be. Great stories!
Thanks!
Dang! I remember them all! When Reagan was governor we went to the big parade in Coloma where he was the grand Marshall.
Very cool! Did you get any pics of Reagan in Coloma? It seems our governors today never show up anywhere.
I did get a few pictures but, I don’t remember where they are after 3 moves. I will look for them. It will give me something to do while I wait for this flu thing settles down!
Jess, I good way to show your autographs and explain some of your fun encounters. Good job.
Hi Carla, I think you meant Jeff? Who's picture is on your account?
58 y.o.? So you are a youngster.
Kowboy USA you must be older to say that. LOL
cool experiences you had, when my Father N Law was a Schwan's Man, He delivered to Slim Pickin's house and met him
So you must be talking his house up in Columbia? I think I have his address I saved because Slim was in the phone book with his address and telephone number! He was a great guy!
@@jbenziggy Yes i think it was the Columbia house, also random question, Have you thought of doing an American Grafitti Filming Locations video?
Wow, you have met a lot of famous politicians! My classmate in high school was the son of John Schmitz, the California politician who ran for President at some point. He came to our class and gave is an amusing lecture on campaign dirty tricks. His daughter was Mary Kay, the infamous teacher who married her student. That's the only politician I have met!
I remember Schmitz! Mary Kay just passed away from cancer I read.
Have a question for you - of all the various celebrities that you have observed and met - who would you say was the nicest and who was the rudest and why?
George W. Bush, hands down, was the nicest. Very authentic down-to-earth guy. I liked him the moment I saw how he treated me. Gabe Kaplan was the worst. Wouldn't look me in the eye. Catch my new video for more on those encounters! Thanks! Have you subscribed to my channel? Jeff
@@jbenziggy : Thank you - Yes - I have subscribed and watch all your videos.
Slim Pickens flying that B52 bomber in Dr. Strangelove is classic
I greatly enjoyed this video. I also have met a number of celebrities growing up. Most were R&B singers like Al Green who went to High School with my brother. The most memorable celebrities I met were Mohammed Ali when I was 14 yrs old and President Gerald Ford when I was 7 yrs old. He was Congressman Ford at the time and keynote speaker at my Brother's High School Graduation. I also met US Senators Paul Henry and Carl Levin both were from Michigan.
Jeff My Girlfriend Kimberly is from Redding, California Her name is Kimberly Dixon
the only celeb i met was capt sacto...maybe some day i'll get to meet you and get your autograph...
I'm not sure it would be worth having! LOL Thanks for watching!
@@jbenziggy...ya never know...
Being raised in Tuolumne County I've seen & met many actors through the years but I never asked for autographs.
I never thought of them as anything other than normal human beings with great acting skills lol.
So many movies & T.V. Series have been made in Tuolumne County & the surrounding areas we'd see them everywhere on the streets, in the stores & even in the movie theater etc. & a lot of them even owned homes in Tuolumne County.
All I really wanted to do was be an extra in their movies & series but my Mom & Step Dad would never allow me to sign up for any. That use to make me so mad I could spit lol.
But at least I can say I've met them lol.
I met Joe DiMaggio at the passport office. I was standing filling out a form and this guy comes up to me and says, “hey buddy where did you get that form”, I glance up and motion towards a rack of forms. He said thanks. I thought that guy looks a lot like Joe DiMaggio. So I watch him go sit down to fill out the form. A guy walks by him and half yells “How’s a the Yankee Clipper?” He kind of forced a smile and waved. Anyway a little while later I ended up in a line next to him. There was a kid with yankee cap on so I say to Joe “there’s a kid with your hat on” he kind of reached in and touched my arm and says “Where?” I point over to the kid and say to him “we’ll hope you have a nice trip” and he says “you too”. Very pleasant man.
That is a great story! Where did you see Joltin' Joe? Was this in the Bay Area? I hope to do a show on his grave and others in San Francisco!
Yes, San Francisco, around 1994.
Yes San Francisco, 1994.
Hi Jeff and Sarah thank you 🙏 for sharing a wonderful video of your celebrity encounters. I have a liking for Tom selleck since I was four years old the first time I went to Hawaii and his show mangum pi was on tv my family tease me and said you are going to Hawaii to see Tom I said no I wanted to see the dogs I also like Angela Lansbury and watch murder she wrote all the time love ❤️ and blessings Laurie ps I have a letter from Donald trump
You know your hard work is appreciated 🇺🇸🇺🇸 i had to tell you ! We are the same age to i know the things you share are part of my life's memories 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you so much!
I don’t understand why lots of celebrities don’t want to do autographs or pics.. still in 2020. If they are so famous it’s also thanks for the people.. like us. it is thanks to us that they do not end up in oblivion... or forget!
This was the coolest. I am 62. Started off meeting Walt- then a few chapters later met President Clinton in So. Cal.
lucky you got to meet Lynall I was 4 years out of High school would have loved to have meat Lee what a good looking guy
Back when gov had some accountability
Jeff this vlog was your best yet! Very interesting to see celebraties we all know and like , and how you interact with them . Great stories ! Deborah Winnipeg. Canada
Thank you! There will be a part 2 so look for it soon!
Saw quite a few celebrities in Houston as a kid. The only autograph I got was from Foster Brooks.
Dr. Strangelove or How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.
Did you get to see any astronauts? And was Foster Brooks sober? LOL
Wow, how cool. I love all of your old photos. And how fun that you've been doing this your entire life with your family. What a great hobby. Really enjoyed this personal history in photos. I look forward to part 2!
Thank you, Steve! Hope all is going well with you and your mother! I feel honored that such a great UA-camr as yourself watches my shows!
I’m the daughter and we were always dragged to boring historical places we never understood why he wanted to visit lol. Some people have a passion and he sure does!
I voted for Ronald Reagan twice.Tony
How did you encounter all those celebrities?
Was it Oak Knoll Naval Hospital your Uncle was recovering at after being wounded in Vietnam?
You know I was so young I don’t know. I know it was in San Francisco.
Great stories and great memories for you … wow!
You’d be a great dinner guest with all your stories!! lol
Thanks for sharing it all 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Amazing hearing about all the famous people you meet and I’ve had a meet a lot my self and had the honor to have worked with Patty page and Jack Klugman while working in Southern California . My home town had a lot celebrities visit and on is Robert Sterling . Always enjoy watching all your videos
Thanks very much! How did you react when you spotted Patty Page and Jack Klugman?
Wow. You were so lucky t meet these celebs.
Very cool, can’t wait to see part two! What celebrity would you like to meet?
I've met Tom Selleck already but I wish I had met Jimmy Stewart, one of my favorites. To be honest I don't watch a lot of movies but I also like Robert Duvall.
I would have liked to meet Jimmy Stewart too. He is one of my favorites too. 👍
Always enjoy watching
no worries at 53 I know who they are 🤔👍👊
Your from Oakdale? I lived in Riverbank! Now I’m in SoCal
Yes I grew up in Modesto and Oakdale!
Thank You for sharing your experiences with those folks of importance and accomplishments from the past. I'm ten years older than yourself and from central South Dakota. Born and raised on a farm which is not much of a draw for those folks in the headlines. LOL. My one great experience was and one I Treasure meeting and shaking the hand of one of my heros Red Skelton. He was the entertainer that year at the Mitchell SD Corn Palace fall week long festival held in the fall. (and still is) It includes a main street of carnival rides and some big name entertainers of all backgrounds. For our little corner of the world is use to be top notch when I was growing up. Now days it is simply a minor event that blocks thru traffic on main street. People have become so introverted and shallow where if things don't revolve around them personally them it is just a minor blip to deal with. Sad really but we live in a time where liberal views where the (me, myself, ant I,) attitude prevails.
Hi Will! I have been to SD many times but haven't up to the Corn Palace yet! It's on my list. Interesting you mention Red Skelton. My great uncles both served in WWII in Europe and Red entertained one of the two. Wish I had paid more attention when they talked about it because they are gone. California is getting so bad that we are contemplating leaving here when it's time. Thanks for watching!
Used to bump into Jerry Lewis often, never talked to him. Met Anne Morrow Lindbergh and "The Old Man" Jimmy Doolittle at a dinner honoring the Doolittle Raiders. They were little folks. Got to know lots of famous rock and rollers on their second and third marriages because their kids go to school (Sierra Canyon) with our kids. A few famous radio broadcasters and retired MLB players still drink at a dive bar we like and we drive our off road vehicles to the "Joint" bar in the Randsberg area. A historic spot on it's own. My ex Mother in Law was a famous MGM actress from their golden age and I met all her MGM friends.
Amazing! Who was your mother-in-law? I might know her!
Jeff you said you met George. H W Bush, I met him @my cousins wedding @his ⛪ he stood up and shook my dads had inside and outside the ⛪ I shook his hand 2 I left a wedding present for my cousin. Lori and Coco pritchard
I met George W. Bush, not Bush 41. W is a cool guy!
I did watch part 1 and 2 thanks
Hey! I was at the Merced College Gym for Jimmy Carter!
Wow! We were in the same room! Sad about Mr. Carter now.
Very cool Jeff!! My list is shorter. NV Rep Barbara Vucanavich, NV Gov Bob Miller, Charlton Heston, Frank Sinatra Jr, Seahawk QB Dan Maguire all at the bar I tended at. Met Bob Burns, original Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer, at a truck stop I worked at in Castaic, CA. He was drifting through... He heard the cassette tape I was playing, “Second Helping” and walked over to where I was. Pulled over Tampa Bay QB Trent Dilfer and wrote Colin Kappenick a speeding ticket.. That was my favorite😀😀.
Those are interesting encounters! Colin Kapaernick is from Turlock, which is where I work. I have no respect for him. It would have been fun to cite him and not him get away with anything. Is Bob Burns still living?
History Hunters , yea, I got Kappernick when he was still at UNR. Dilfer played at Fresno State. Bob Burns died. I met him in 1987. He signed the cassette tape insert, lost it somewhere in my travels... I always wondered if it was him but then I thought, who would claim to be him?? And he looked just like him....
I wish you would do a video about the Deer View hotel in Eldorado county.
Is that a historic place?
I saw Slim Pickens at the Oakdale rodeo in the 50's
He was a peach of a guy! Glad you got to see him too!
excellent film from anthor autograph collecter
Great to hear from a fellow autograph collector!
Thumbs up. Death Valley Scotty and the nearby Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad would be an interesting subject.
I went to Scotty's Castle as a kid. Maybe I need to take Sarah before it gets too hot!
@@jbenziggy I once read their is a Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad museum, or something resembling that in Shoshone'. I also had heard second hand that the RR ties were bought up by Death Valley Scotty and burned to heat and power the castle.
Castle was closed due to a flood a few years back but may have reopened by now. The track bed is still mostly intact a can be traveled by 4X4 but beware of the drop-offs where mini trestles used to be. Some are marked and barricaded some not.
Very cool Jeff🎉
I was lucky enough to attend a celebrity tennis tournament hosted by Lee Majors in the mid '70s. Charles Lane and Alvy Moore were there, too. And a host of Western character actors from Ben Johnson to Dub Taylor. Got to meet Richard Anderson, too. But the main takeawy was his new girlfriend. A model/actress named Farrah Fawcett. Good times!
Very amazing story Walt Disney and Jimmy Carter's inauguration that's incredible your very lucky ,I thought i was lucky to get an autograph from the late Comedian and Actor Jerry Lewis , members of my family have had there fare share of celebrity encounters , in the summer of 1976 my Mom had the great Fortune to meet the Duke while he was on a lunch break from filming a commercial for U.S. Savings Bonds from Great Western Bank in Sacramento , During the filming of Back to the future part 3 my aunt who also a extra in the film started flirting with Mad Dog Buford Tannen during a meal break this was much to the irritation of my uncle who was also in the film.
You're lucky to have Jerry Lewis in your possession. He often let his secretary answer autograph requests in the mail. Your mom meeting John Wayne in Sacramento is amazing! Do you know where specifically in Sacramento?
My mistake it wasn't in Sacramento my apologies on giving you the wrong area In October of 1976 my mom lived in Coloma CA. Just off Ponderosa Rd was a recreation of a old 49ers shack with a old low rail fence behind the shack she met him in front of the shack while he was on a lunch break the commercial was filmed behind the shack. My Grandma met Anthony Perkins twice in 1983 one time he was at a Texaco gas station in Citrus Heights off of Greenback and Watts. The second time was in Gormon California he was doing the movie Psycho 2 she had stopped to get help with a overheated. Gmc Grimlin
Car and he was coming out of a diner across the street.
Interesting video, in the late 60’s and during the 70’s I got to shake hands with Richard Nixon and Johnny Cash. Corrie Ten Boom as well she was a holocaust survivor. I was also within arms length of Karen Carpenter and John Denver.
John Denver is one of my favorites! Thanks for sharing about your experiences! Where did you see Mr. Nixon?
I saw Nixon in Hillsboro Oregon. John Denver actually twice and once I had a second to the front seat at a concert and he broke not one but two strings playing the guitar during a song.
Corrie Ten Boom, Wow!
Another interesting video. Fantastic!!!! I think I'll faint if you yold me you met the legendary Barbra Streisand. I'm such a fan. Lifelong dream to meet her. Your so fortunate. I've never seen one person. You've got a fortune there in memorabilia. Great video.!!!!!!
This is great can't wait for part 2
Thanks! I'm working on it!
Very interesting
Very interesting life you are living, I remember a lot of the old movie stars you mentioned and most of the US Presidents of our time. I wonder how many Americans could name the Prime Ministers of Australia over the last 50 years. Matter of fact I probably have forgotten a few Prime Ministers, we are pretty laid back with regard to our politicians here.
Jeff these stories of encounters with celebrities is nothing short of awesome. It had to be great meeting Presidents Carter and Reagan.
P.S.- the closest I ever came to meeting a President (Obama and Bush 43) was a slightly scary encounter with the Secret Service on two occasions.
Thanks very much. Seems like lately I haven’t met anyone famous, except for my chance encounter with Congressman Nadler and Cohen!
@@jbenziggy you are lucky to live in the by backyard of some many celebrities in northern and southern California. I hope the encounters with Congressman Marker and Cohen were pleasant. Rockstars seem to be nice to reporters.
I have a hundred questions but I’ll stick to two. First, how do I find the video you did about the secret service crash and question 2 , did you get Carter’s autograph at some point?
It took some searching but I found some video snippets. And yes, I did get Carter's signature on other items. Next question? LOL
I don’t know where to start but you’ve lived a pretty charmed life in terms of meeting and rubbing elbows with celebs, I really loved your back to the future 3 location video. I just found your page today and I’m pretty hooked. I’ve got a small autograph collection myself . Very interesting videos that you have made
You are very fortunate to have met these people.
Yes I am! Thanks!
Who narrates your videos?
Which video in particular? I do all the narration now but early on I used Kevin Crocker!
58? Your just a youngster.
I’m feeling less and less like a youngster! Ha ha! thanks!
Cool!😊
Really nice channel, thanks.
Thank you so much for saying so! We are trying our best to put out interesting content!
I thought it odd that you would ask someone to draw something for you along with the signature.
Why is collecting original celebrity artwork odd? JFK doodles can sell for thousands of dollars. I know some people have celebrities draw an outline of their hand and sign it. I mean, Graumann's Theater has celebrities set their footprints in cement.
@@jbenziggy I think it should be enough just to have an encounter and get an autograph. I don't think you need to make money off of it.I can just see you standing over poor Ben Johnson with a ruler ; "Do it again Mr. Johnson and make it look like a hat this time".
another great video jeff.
Thank you, thank you!
I was more into musicians, but I've met many. I've seen Regan
That's cool. Who was your favorite encounter?
All the original black Sabbath, the only words I could utter to Ozzy were "Ozzy" he looked up at me,signed me stuff,and security moved me,my friend goes really? We talked w the rest. I met Robert plant shopping w my then gf in NYC in like 94. We were in line,I seen him,and woman and teen boy come in, and me and another woman went up to him, completely nice. Eminem was funny, Johnny Ramone who remembered me after years of only saying a few words to him,which was amazing.
Wow! Enjoyed this video! I grew up in SoCal all my life. Police Woman was filmed in my home town of Glendora when I was a kid. I got Earl Holaman`s autograph. I was about 7 or 8 years old. He was so flippen rude to us, I tore up the autograph in front of him and threw it on the ground. Angie Dickenson hugged up on our Cheif Posey, and never even waved to her "fans". I never watched that show again. I've seen Arsenio Hall on the fwy, right next me. Ran across Shaq in Long Beach. He was smiling and waving at me. The light turned green so fast, I almost got a hug from him. Lol Snoop Dog in Long Beach. I've seen many more in Hollywood/ LA area. I've personally met William Shatner at his benefits. Love him!
Take care.....I can't wait for part 2. ✌💚
Shaq seems like a really nice guy! I went to one Lakers game and saw him and Kobe play. Earl Holiman was rude, you say? Thanks so much for sharing your stories! And for watching!
i've only met Lloyd ,Jeff and Beau Bridges, Liberace and Robert Benjamin Lobby !! ,not nearly as many as you !!!
Those are some big names! I regret not ever having met Jimmy Stewart! But trust me, you'll see we've met a lot more celebrities in part 2, which I hope to get out soon!
Six million dollar man was Fav of mine Jeff
Yep, I was one of his biggest fans! Those were the days of hero worshiping, huh? LOL
@@jbenziggy sure was good tv 📺 days
Whow didn't know Lyle Waggoner died. I do remember him from Carol Burnett and also think he was on Wonder Woman. RIP Lyle. Carol Burnett is still going strong at 82. You certainly got a lot of political people.
He just died yesterday! Total coincidence as I was working on this video for months!
Interesting that you were around.Oakdale.when i was a kid , my dad would take all us kids on a camping adventure to lake , Taluch.For camping and water sking.And eventually my dad moved too oakdale from , Fremont.God bless you for the story's.
Thanks for watching! I lived in Oakdale from 1971 to 1978 until my parents divorced. It's a great little town that hasn't changed much! There will be a part 2 very soon!
Most enjoyable!
Thank you very much!
Love these. Just had my first encounter with a President when President Trump did a rally in Muskegon, MI. It is only the 4th time in history a seated President has visited Muskegon.
That’s wonderful. I haven’t seen a president since Bush. Things have slowed down as far as me seeing celebrities. Thanks for watching the video!!!
very good. !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Loving ur show wow u have met some great stars lucky you😂🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you very much!
