    My Godfather Steve Belloise was a great fighter of the 1940's. He was consistently ranked as the leading MIddleweight. contender. He missed his chance at the title because right after Pearl Harbor he enlisted in the Navy. After the war LaMotta got the title shot and Uncle Steve lost the elimination bout to Sugar Ray Robinson who then went on to beat LaMotta. Uncle Steve remained in the Naval Reserve and trained many sailors at Ft. Schuyler Naval Station in the Bronx. He was a wonderful man.

    Burt Reynolds, the best guest-host ever of The Tonight Show. And this is almost 10 years before Martin Scorsese made The Ranging Bull movie about Jake La Motta. Jake wrote in the book that he presented to Burt, that he thinks he would be the only person he would trust to play him, wow! Robert De Niro did a wonderful job playin La Motta, no doubt, but I think Burt could've made a fantastic boxer as well.

    A few comments were made here about why there are no Black fighters on the show ... These fighters were gathered for the Sports Illustrated-sponsored exhibition "rematches" that were fundraisers for the United Cerebral Palsy Fund. The ones who participated in the fundraiser were those who volunteered. And the ones who appeared on this episode of the Tonight Show were not the only ones who were invited, but the ones who agreed to appear on the show...And Chico Vejar (the one who is dressed stylishly hip and not wearing a formal suit) is Latino. The rest just happened to be either Italian or Irish. As for Burt Reynolds, Ed McMahon really put him on the spot like he had never been before (or since) by thoroughly deflating Burt's Hollywood "tough guy" image and ego when confronting REAL tough guys ... Some of them true boxing legends: Willie 'Will-o-the-wisp' Pep; Francis 'Chico' Vejar; Steve 'Ginks' Belloise; Joey Giardello-The Bad Boy of Boxing; Carmen Basilio; The Raging Bronx Bull Jake LaMotta, etc. In probably his entire public life, Burt Reynolds NEVER looked so nervous, uneasy, and embarrassed as he did in this talk show appearance. Jake LaMotta good-humoredly "destroyed" Burt Reynolds in this talk show episode. Being a top ENTERTAINER, Reynolds' wit managed to get him through. What really matters here is not why there are no Black boxers present at this talk show, but that the fighters who are present display and evoke a certain dignity, class, and elegance which they also did before and after their professional bouts in the ring (during weigh-ins and press conferences)...And NOTHING like so many of the gutter level, foul-mouthed, shameless, show-boating degenerates that have disgraced the sport of boxing in the past 40+ years (i.e., from about 1980 onward).

Burt Reynolds guest hosted, and his guests were Alex Karras, Charo, and The Amazing Kreskin; the boxers were only part of a brief segment. When this episode was shot "The Tonight Show" was still based in New York, and moved to California in May 1972. There are episode guides for the series online where you can easily confirm the broadcast date.

    I do have nearly the full episode of the broadcast, and in fact if you look elsewhere on my channel you'll see Burt interviewing Charo from later in the same show. The broadcast date is concrete. I know some have argued Jake looks older here but it's tough to contrast personal perceptions against concrete proof. You're absolutely right that admitting to error on YT is a very scarce occasion, so you deserve kudos for having the good manners to do so.

    If I could remember, Burt did great job guest hosting on the Tonight Show, A lot better then Jay Lenno not and David Letterman not he did it for a entire week one time. When his movie career died down he should had done his own show, I think he would had stayed on top a little better then Chevy Chase, Arsenio Hall. Arsenio had Eddie Murphy behind him why he made it, but it didn't last as long as it should. Especially with Whoopi Goodberg promoting him in the movie Ghost.

    • @coldwinter5710
      @coldwinter5710 4 роки тому

      @Just think Correct! Burt won a Golden Globe & an Emmy for his TV show Evening Shade. I do wish, as I'm sure he did too!, that he made better career choices overall. He should have made more quiet, dramatic roles. The dramatic roles he did do, I always felt were some of his very best & most overlooked. He was an extremely talented, multifaceted actor & he sold that talent short far too often.

    I also dont believe that its from 1971 because LaMotta was born 1922 - so look at him: he looks much older than 49. And that Burt Reynolds is 45 old at this show (instead of 35) is more probable for me than LaMotta could be 49.

    • @coldwinter5710
      @coldwinter5710 4 роки тому

      It was indeed 1971 as this show was in New York. The show moved to L.A. in 1972. Burt always looked older than he was in his prime, his regularly sunkissed wrinkly forehead & mustache helped with that.

    Figures in the public eye will often go to measures (hair dye, face lifts, etc) to make themselves look younger, so that's entirely possible. If you look up Jake's listing on the IMDB you'll find the episode listing there. There used to be a comprehensive "Tonight Show" episode guide online where you could search by guests, year, etc but it doesn't seem to be around anymore.

    Burt was scared that he was going to get his toupee knocked off.
    Actor Robert Conrad was on the Merv Griffin show with Smokin Joe Frazier once and was offered a sparing match. Robert Conrad jumped to the occasion. Conrad was a ligament boxer. Conrad got his jaw jacked.
    Robert Conrad in later years was challenged to a boxing match on TV by Tony Danza , a former boxer, and Conrad took him up on the offer and knocked out Danza in the match.
    Conrad challenged Gabriel Kaplan to a foot race on TV and lost.
    Conrad was once challenged to an arm wrestling contest from a arm wrestling woman's champion and lost twice.
    Say what one may, at least Conrad had the guts to take the challenges, win lose or draw.
    And once Muhammad Ali had Clint Eastwood do the speed bag on a TV show. Eastwood impressed Muhammad All with his talents on the speed bag.
    People like Conrad and Eastwood were the general articular. Burt was good as an actor. He did good stunts in his movies when he was involved in them. But Burt was obsessed with his hair piece not flying off. So his tough guy status was very limited.

      Dude, Robert Conrad had the worst Napoleon Complex in Hollywood. He jumped through hoops like a little trained chihuahua, he had to. He didn't command any of the roles Burt could get. Burt had nothing to prove during this era, with his best years still ahead of him. Robert Conrad is a footnote in Hollywood, whereas Burt owned that town for well over a decade. I'm not really sure what you mean by touch guy status either? Are you saying Burt wouldn't have fist fights with other actors or didn't participate in foot-races? So this makes​ him less manly? What other foot races have tough men participated in? Your litmus test for manliness is pretty funny.

      Sugar Ray Robinson was surely invited but probably had other things to do

      You are right. Nothing racial about this. Like Rick Rick suggested, Sugar Ray Robinson and some of the other unworthy black fighters such as Joe Louis, Floyd Patterson, Henry Armstrong, etc, had other things to do🤷🏾‍♂️

      No, actually in 1971 people knew their place and went to work. No time for nonsense - and Ali and Frazier were the Champs..
