Kojak has an official UA-cam channel. About time. You can see this clip (ua-cam.com/video/uUKsyJMGm9Y/v-deo.html) and many other classics on that channel (ua-cam.com/channels/qMLv0GO0FUeofqUBM6OSOw.html).
@@clips6260 (Edit: I just saw the Tom Green clip where Norm tells the same joke and said it was in the pilot. So I guess you’d only have to watch one episode to know if that dialogue was even in the show.) Serious question: how do you know? Not being snarky, just wondering if you’ve seen all the episodes, or if there’s a way to search the scripts online, etc. Thanks a lot. If NM made it up, good job on his part, because it was believable and hilarious, lol. The newbie was just too green. Just too green to see it.
@@HoyaSaxaSD I looked into it. I have seen almost every episode of Kojak (except for some from season 5). This includes the TV movies from the 80s and the remake with Ving Rhames. Kojak never told the joke. It's 100% an original joke from Norm. He's always making prostitute jokes.
Kojak was one classic cop show it had that mixture of grittiness and raw action that kept everybody coming back for more and Telly Savalas was a supremely good actor
Back in the day, this was a not to be missed show. Kojak was so confident. Liked his brother too who had curly hair. Oh, and to see Kojak use a phone booth for his phone call. How things have changed!
One time when I was a 5 years old shopping with my mother telly savalas was filming this show literally walked across the street after they stopped bought some flowers from a vendor and handed them to my mother never forget it.
Norm Macdonald's passing was too soon. I don't think he got the appreciation he deserved because too few people in film and TV had any idea what to make of his talent--or maybe they were too scared to deal with someone so daring in what he had to say. For me he's a legendary comedian and I hope people grow to appreciate him as the comic I've always known him to be.
Yeah you are right on that one, also, when kojak walked into the place to see all those mobsters and spoke to them like that! I wonder if he took different routes to go home everyday! LOL
@@peteeyg.66 As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point. I think during his long career Telly probably played more nogoodniks than he did good guys. He certainly excelled at portraying villians !!
No, not a different planet. We actually at one time used pay phones right here on earth. They even had them in restrooms. Those had the nickname "Johnny Cash"....
Have you noticed that at the very last moment when he replaces the phone, he misses the latch and holds it against the frame to save the shot? Brilliant actor and always aware of the camera angles. For another example watch as he first walks into the bar where the mobsters are: he scans the room and picks them out. Just wonderful.
The best charismatic, real persona with vitality and inner stregth that I have ever seen in american TV shows. Kojak do not need to use karate or combat fight. For him it's enough to stop gangsters with rude talk and ice star and low voice. Yes, it is Tele Savalas. Nothing can compare with him. Maybe wise Peter Falk as Colombo or Jack Lord as Steve Mcgarret in Hawaii Five - O
When I was a little kid around 8 years old, watching together with my Dutch grandmother, she explaining to me who are the bad guys and ending up in jail. Do we have this kind of guys now like Kojak?
And I've heard that his schedule was so tight that he didn't have time to learn his lines, so he had to read from large signs behind the camera. In fact, it looks like he's reading from one when he is in the phone booth.
There is nothing like lounging at home in your Pjs on a cold Sunday evening watching this show in bed or any of those classics from the 70s. Nothing like it folks icing on the cake is when.your partner comes and joins u in the bed.. i love these old shows
Kids up along Lenox at the south end by the King Houses and the Lenox Renez-Vous used to play 'Kojak'. The game was to cross the Blvd in the middle of the block without looking to either side at the cars, expecting them to part like the Red Sea for Moses or the streets of NY for Kojak. True story.
The story goes that Telly Savalas was up for the role of Patton, but couldn't accept because he promised someone he would be in his movie. Speculation aside, one critic said George C. Scott did a great impression of Telly Savalas playing Patton 🤣
A mobster is going to talk shit to Theo Kojak ? don't think so ... Not sure why he asked for vodka and grapefruit juice... he didn't even wait for the drink he just took care of business .

Kojak was the only tv cop that had a gangster persona.
Yeah, Mama's apple pie, the Fourth of July... SHE WAS A HOOK-AH!
But he doesn't say it here?
Norm sent me.
@@bakerman10 No. It's a joke Norm McDonald totally made up. Kojak never said it. Not even in the Ving Rhames remake.

I have a notion to second that emotion !

Ah ahhh I tell ya I get no respect
haha Rodney had significantly more hair !
Rodney Savalas.....
Telly Dangerfield..
you made ne laugh my ass off !
He sounds like leslie nielsen.
Can't unhear

Moe Green knows better than to mess with Kojak
Could lose an eye
Cesare Augusto I told Kojak, "Kojak,you don't come to Las Vegas and talk to a man like Moe Green like THAT!"😂
Moe Green needs to get back to Vegas, ASAP
@@MoeGreensRightEye He'd still be alive if he had bullet proof glasses
MoeGreensLeftEye happened to Bugsy Seagal another Jewish mobster.
Kojak was awesome. Don’t know how many times i got to laughing when watching this show lol. He kicked ass he knew what was up
Kojak was the man !!
How nice when old friends get together they talk they drink they bring each other up to date on what's been happening
One time when I was a 5 years old shopping with my mother telly savalas was filming this show literally walked across the street after they stopped bought some flowers from a vendor and handed them to my mother never forget it.
Wiseguys from Vegas getting the Kojak treatment.

Watching people using pay phones in these '70s show is just amazing to me. It's like a different planet back then.
Says you watching this on a smartphone Lol 😂 Yeah they were different days, only going back to the eighties and better days. The world is insane now.
No, not a different planet. We actually at one time used pay phones right here on earth. They even had them in restrooms. Those had the nickname "Johnny Cash"....
He actually missed hanging it up... Hilarious!!!! 4:14
@@marleypumpkin4917 The world has always been crazy, you just got older and what you knew changed. Happens to everyone
They were awesome days! If you were in a hurry to do anything, you just had to wait until time got you there…not the speed of light we count on today.
Met telly in London few times absolute class man he was in real life as he was in Kojak !!
Tough guy that didn’t take any bs?
Who loves ya baby?
I love ya KOJAK; my favorite TV cop of the 70's.
yeah man
Being Italian and Greek grew up with no role model for me this show this man kept me from falling . Love ya Telly
Being Swedish and Sri Lankan grew up with no role model for me. Ever. I fell. Hard.
This was a great show!!! He was in command from stem to stern.
"Who loves ya baby!!!" 👍🇺🇸👍
I loved Kojak when I was a little girl. Lollipops and Who loves ya baby. Now it's on TV again. It's even better now.

If you didn`t mention it, I wouldn`t have caught it. All very clever and testament to a good actor.
No I didn't notice that. But cannot unsee it now. It's the little things....
@@Bleh693 Back when actors needed actual talent to succeed...
Now that was done with class! Pure hard hitting tv drama. Love those 70's shows!
Vince R the 1970's had the best shows.
You should watch minder, great british crime / comedy series, so funny and gritty

Kojak was a cool and smooth guy
There have always been cop shows. Every decade. But the 1970s had the most, and "Kojak" was the best of that most. Damn what a great scene.
Still Fantastic! Never gets old! What an actor!
This scene never gets old 😄
Rest in Peace Mr Kevin Dobson and Mr Telly Savalas
I like to see smiling happy faces 😄
haha who doesn't we love Telly
I miss New York phone booths.
haha I miss Colorado phone booths
Clark Kent misses them too. Now he has nowhere to change into Superman....
Kojak was the ultimate badass.
He was in ww2 he was a member of the eli6 OSS. Which was the for runner to todays special forces.
When I was a little kid around 8 years old, watching together with my Dutch grandmother, she explaining to me who are the bad guys and ending up in jail. Do we have this kind of guys now like Kojak?
He and Charles Bronson were the badass name-takers of the 70s. Well two of several lol
@@martinvangenderen4479 doubt it
Great show. I was a kid when it came out and thought it was a great show.
What a hunk of man!!!!!! Always loved this show.
Jennifer Rollins who loves ya baby
He was no Percy Helton but he indeed was one hunky gent.
Telly Savalas, the one and only KOJAK.
Koohie Koo Baby.
Mustafa Jackson here is a typical line: I see you are up at this ungodly hour. isn't past your beddy by time?
I heard that director let Kojak improvise in his lines. I always felt he did because he comes across so natural.
Seems not so much to me
Sterling Rock you can tell those other guys were improvising too cause they don’t have shit to say lol
Native New Yorker who knows New York
Nobody would talk like that 🤣
And I've heard that his schedule was so tight that he didn't have time to learn his lines, so he had to read from large signs behind the camera. In fact, it looks like he's reading from one when he is in the phone booth.
Oh I love these shows reminds of my Youth. " WHO'S LOVES YA BABY "
This Wonderful , Thank you.
Nice! He is so smooth, like smoke on water.
That suit... slick.
Always liked him in the film " Crooks and Coronets "
I used to see the reruns on TV back in the 90s and would always think that Telly Savalas would have been amazing as the Marvel villain, Kingpin
If I’m not mistaken he played Ernst Stavro Blofeld in James Bond in Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
One of my favorite detective shows of the past - ( KOJACK) with actor Telly Savallas
Knowledge Power who loves ya baby.
Uhm, KOJAK.
They simply don't make shows like this anymore.
The acting, the music.
I miss the olden days 😥
Yeah, everything now, music, films, radio, television is all cr*p. It’s not because I am older it’s because everything now IS cr*p.
I didn't care for the final season theme music.
Thank you Mack
@@marleypumpkin4917 Amen to that! 👍
It would be almost impossible to have a drink with Theo
back in the day . Always on edge ... a good man .

Poor Moe Green, first Michael Corleone, then Kojak... He got no respect.
"I talk to Barzini. I can make a deal with him and still keep my hotel".

Got to go back and watch a few old episodes. Great stuff.
The guy who made bald sexy.

Kojak in action! Great.
You gotta think of me as ' the Welcome Wagon ' Who knows better than me more about that rough trip to get here from Las Vegas ........

He's dead...caught a bullet in the face ...
R Gray just like Bugsy Seagal.

shut the hell up wise guy I do all the talking round here. Classic clip BRILLIANT.
Wise Guys from Vegas, I know them all! Sure Telly knew them all!
Who loves ya baby my favorite line R.I.P Telly Savalas 😭😭😭😭😭
I'm Moe Green. I was making my bones when you were going out with cheerleaders.
and we know what happened
...I had to slap Stavros around. He was banging cocktail waitresses two-at-a-time. Nobody could get a drink!
I thought the line was “finger-banging cheerleaders” but maybe that’s my degenerate mind
@@scitsalcoryp He should have kept his eye out for that assassin sent by the Corleone family....

Loved him in the Dirty Dozen
I like telly and the Bacardi advert ❣️❤️

He walks by the unattended piano as piano music plays
You couldn't squeeze that much swagger through the doors of an airplane hangar.
Do not mess with Kojak
You do not get acting quality like that anymore. Kojak- classy and very masculine.
Not too many people had the onscreen presence of Telly Savalas.
I can think of only one other person who could compare to Telly : Huntz Hall.
How nice and civilized !
R Gray he should have used the word capisce. Italian for understand.
@@frankdenardo8684 haha thank you friend
I'm Moe Green, Kojak! I made my bones when you had hair!!!!!!!!
shrapnel77 great line.
You know Kojak has to be the man when Moe Green will talk smack to Michael Corleone but NOT him! LOL!
Who loves ya baby? 😄😂😂
This clip started the textile industry
Crocker never had the makings of a varsity athlete
One thing for sure when Kojak doesn't like you,he'd tell it to your face.
Alex Rocco also wasn't enjoying his company.
Rocco looked like he was gonna crap himself.
Alex was still recovering from being shot in the eye by a hit man sent by the Corleone family when he ran a casino in Vegas.
He knows how to speak their language.
Nice to see Moe Green found work after he got offed in the Godfather 2...
He even got a pretty good looking glass eye !!
There is cool and than there is Telly Savalas cool
