I bet I'm not the only one who puts on one of these Carson show segments just to forget about the dreadful world we are now living in... Being British it's new to me, but Cuddly Dudley has always been a legend (RIP) ... so I now realise was the great JC! Thanks for the entertainment!
These are indeed some fond memories of a happier and less turbulent world. I certainly enjoyed my moment of laughter and appreciation for Dudley’s raw talents.
John Cleese? Johnny Cash? Oh, .. Johnny Carson?, of course. Yep, I know where you're coming from, you're not the only one,...whether it's binge watching old episodes of Bonanza or the great Brit comedies, Steptoe, Pete and Dud, Till Death...., Dad's Army, Thin Blue Line, etc. or watching the great music from the 60's, 70's, 80's (and before), it's all to escape from the sad, greedy, self absorbed times we live in now and call me a sentimentalist,...I don't give a s***.
I still watch "Arthur" on at least an annual basis as it is a part of my DVD library. Dudley Moore had such a wealth of talent. God bless his spirit always.
Take it from me, as a career professional full time pianist, Dudley was one of thee best pianists of the past century. Most people haven't figured this out yet, because Dudley was modest about it. . He majored in music at Oxford. etc.
He was at his happiest and most relaxed when he played the piano. There is a heart-breaking moment when an idiot journalist asks him towards the end of his life what he misses. He looks at his hands and says ‘I can’t play the piano any more.’ I know I won’t be the only person who cries every time. RIP genius musician.
I was on deployment in 2002 on USS Wasp LHD 1 when I read the story of Dudley Moore's and Milton Berle's passing on the same day. I enjoy watching Arthur every time it comes on.
@@Gerard_2024 Yes. I always remember Maurice Chevalier saying to Audrey Hepburn in Love In The Afternoon (1957) "Oh you know those composers: they're always stealing from one another." 🤣
Yeah.. DM, from humble roots, went on to Oxford on a full ride (tuition + lodgings) as an organ scholar, a most competitive scholarship that entails the recipient to play his college’s (Magdalen College) huge church organ for various services (choir practices, invocations, church services, as well as recitations, etc) for the duration of his stay until graduation; he left Oxford with two undergrad degrees, a BA in music and a BA in composition. UA-cam features a taping of his musical talents on “An Audience with Dudley Moore” where his humour and musical chops are displayed amply, esp towards the 27:00 mark. ✌🏼
Absolutely adored him. If anyone hasn't seen he and Peter Cook (they were a comedy duo) and the Tarzan audition skit, it's pure genius. Accomplished musician, brilliant actor, and hysterical comedian. Also, the movie Crazy People is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen . Very much of its time (because it's about the advertising of the time) but I promise, it's hysterical. RIP Dudley.
Thanks for posting this. Dudley was knockout! Also, if I'm not mistaken, in 'Arthur's Theme' there's a short tenor solo by Pete Christlieb who does the sax solos on the Steely Dan cuts:- 'Deacon Blues' and 'FM'.
I. Am. Blown. Away. 🥰 I’d never seen this episode and *I’m so elated* you released it. Thank you! What arrangements and talent. Wow. I knew he played, but had no idea he was THAT awesome, with a style so unique it’s incredible. Trust me when I say I’ll be watching this over and over. *And he’s ADORABLE! Utterly adorable.* Psssst... I’ve always had a MAJOR crush. He’s “my type.” 😍
First time seeing this particular video, and just laughed my butt off. Watching Dudley Moore play and benig funny is a great experience. Too bad he left us too soon. But, all those three gentlemen are sure having a great time with sharing funny stories in heaven. RIP everyone.
Fantastic " LEGIT" Musician, soooo soulful! The real Dudley Moore, music is what moved him most. Glad we knew ye Dudley! He' s joined the Seraphim up above.
Dudley pays homage to Erroll Garner's version of "They Can't Take That Away From Me" by Gershwin, which was made famous by the release of Erroll's brilliant "Concert By The Sea" in the late 1950's.
This was exceptional. Johnny always had on the best and the best always knew that Johnny belonged in their league and then some! Mr Carson was the best, hands down!!
I remember when the film critics savaged this movie. "Arthur" turned out to be a massive hit after filmgoers went to see it in droves. The critics were left with egg on their faces.
Every time I hear the band it’s a big treat. How about Tommy Newsom playing the flute. He was obviously quite a multi-instrumentalist. Moore and the boys seemed to be having a lot of fun, which makes the performance more enjoyable to watch. And that was a powerful yet nuanced sax solo. As I have commented before, whoever was in charge of audio for the TS would always do a fantastic job of mixing the sound for the band yet the bass sound was barely there for the trio. Overall, bravo… keep’em coming.
You weren't working in that band if you didn't double on all the woodwinds. That was Pete Christlieb with the tenor solo. Carson acknowledged him coming back from a previous break. He's one of the few from that band still alive.
@@STATter911 I always love to get names. I have learned that these musicians in the band all had long and amazing credits... I get your point about playing multiple instruments, but come on. How many tens of thousands of hours can one man play/practice? Ha. In the Louis Armstrong video Newsom is playing clarinet.
@@CaesarDarias I always paid attention to the great musicians in the talk show bands (Carson, Cavett, Griffin) as I was growing up. Got to see quite a few of them live through the years. Many of them have been heard on all kinds of recordings from pop music to movie soundtracks.
@@roberturibe3150 The Republican and Democrat parties both. The election interference from the DNC in 2024, trying and failing to stop Robert F. Kennedy getting on the ballot in each state is incredible.
WonderDud ! When taking an exam at Oxford he got lost when playing a Bach fugue and improvised most of it until he got back into the ending. The examiners knew what he was doing, but congratulated him on his talent.
The Tonight Show Band (The NBC Orchestra Can Play Any Song They Are The Best Orchestra Ever even In Impromptu Performance and They Can Jam With You. Perfect Excellent
I remember when Dudley Moore was unfairly and harshly accused of drunkenness when all along his symptoms were the result of his suffering from PSP (progressive supranuclear palsy) which caused him to lose his coordination. He was an all-around talent. Rest in peace, Dudley.
My parents watched Arthur all the time when I was a kid, they’d be laughing their asses off and I didn’t get it. But once I watched it as a teenager, I did. So, I made all of my friends watch it, and they loved it, and, incidentally, still quote it to this day! The soundtrack was badass as well! Would sure be nice if we could resurrect him and make part 3…..Arthur Comes Back 😂
Hooker Gloria: “what do you do for a living”? Arthur: “I race cars, I play tennis, I fondle women. But, I have weekends off and I am my own boss. ha,ha,ha - Arthur Bach God, I love and miss the genius of Dudley Moore.
imagine having not only the talent to PLAY anything... but also be able to throw in total ad lib as you go and make it sound PERFECT... Talent, thy name is Dudley Moore... the other guys ain't bad either...
It was said if you made it on The Tonight Show, you were off. In Dudley's case, he was long before at the top. That said, how cool an addition to your resume would it be to have jammed with Ed Shaughnessey and a bassist, then with The Tonight Show Band. or, maybe that honor should be the other way around?

I remember staying up late as a teenager to watch johnny, and even tom snyder, classy stuff . . .
No, you're not alone. Let's see - watch the news or watch an old clip of Johnny Carson? I'll take Johnny Carson!

Wow Dudley amazing man I hope he is having some laughs in heaven and playing the piano
Dudley was such a fine comedian and actor that people often forget how fine a pianist he was.
So true an amazing actor comedian who deserved to have more recognition
Take it from me, as a career professional full time pianist, Dudley was one of thee best pianists of the past century. Most people haven't figured this out yet, because Dudley was modest about it. . He majored in music at Oxford. etc.
@@Rnyargd Uh, Clint more basic jazz guy.
He was so talented and underrated. And he was hilarious.
all his women related how fine a pianist he was..
God I love Dudley. Multi talented comedian and classical pianist. Lost him too early. RIP
Oh the good ole days. Dudley Moore. Always smile when thinking of him from the movie " Arthur " . Time goes way to fast.
You’re telling me !😩
He was at his happiest and most relaxed when he played the piano. There is a heart-breaking moment when an idiot journalist asks him towards the end of his life what he misses. He looks at his hands and says ‘I can’t play the piano any more.’ I know I won’t be the only person who cries every time. RIP genius musician.

What a treat. Thanks for posting these clips of segments we don't see on Antenna TV.
Loved the movie Arthur with Dudley Moore 😊
Dudley was one of the GREAT entertainers! And, the Tonight Show Band was the BEST!!
I love his piano playing. What a genius! ❤😍😻😘🥰
Erroll Garner style
@@ignorecorporatenews Dudley Moore Style 😁
Truly! I’m kinda speechless. I never realized he was THAT good, with an amazingly unique style.
I also have some naughty thoughts. 😉
@@jillkjv3816 Yes, but obviously influenced by both Erroll Garner and Oscar Peterson, if you know who these people are.
@@Gerard_2024 Yes. I always remember Maurice Chevalier saying to Audrey Hepburn in Love In The Afternoon (1957) "Oh you know those composers: they're always stealing from one another." 🤣
I love Dudley Moore. Didn't know he was a serious classical pianist until later on. He played Carnegie Hall here. Gone way too soon. RIP.

Thank God every day for those around you who bring you absolute joy! That's what life is all about!❤
Dudley imnsho was one of Thee Best pianists of the last century. he mastered Classical and Jazz piano music, AND he was an excellent composer also.
He was a very good organ player too. He got into Oxford on an organ scholarship.
I miss him! He was such a talent and so sweet.
Wow what a treat. It really doesn't get better than this.
Dudley brought that, just rolled out of the dusty store room, piano to life. 💯
I was in the audience. I appreciate the upload thank you.
I loved his movies growing up and it’s hard to believe it’s been 21 years since Dudley passed away.. rip
BRILLIANT.; Dudley was a genius!
Love the way Dudley comes right out of the Errol Garner, Earl "Fatha" Hines cookbook. Sooo good!!! Jazz Lives!
Dudley swings with an easy intoxicating smile. Great rendition, nice block chords wow!

Dudley Moore was indeed a great musician as well as a composer. I only committed more of this side of his artistry to record. 😊❤
What a fabulous, talented man.Great pianist.
Dudley was so talented one of my Favs
So unreal that both Dudley Moore and Burt Bachrach are gone. That was beautiful. 😊
My dad ran a movie theater and I've probably seen Arther 60 times. Still my all time favorite!
I remember when the film critics savaged this movie. "Arthur" turned out to be a massive hit after filmgoers went to see it in droves. The critics were left with egg on their faces.
Ah Johnny, that was not cocktail music. Dudley was one of the modern eras greatest jazz pianists.
He was first a musician.. exceptional !!!!! Bravo
A wonderful performer!
Saw a rerun of Arthur the other night on UA-cam, and it was great memories and laughter once again.
Times from the past. It feels Just like yesterday!
That gave me nostalgia majorly
When the "Talent" had talent & class in equal measure.
Structured chaos of multiple songs. Jazz
I miss him. He was a sweet man and so talented.
I was just looking him up because of the Russell Brand remake in 2011
Hello, how're you doing.?
Johnny's a cappella joke was comedy gold but the audience seems to have missed it.
agreed
“If you knew Susan, like I knew Susan, (sees Liza) oh, oh, I need a drink…”

you can see Dudley playing violin in Unfaithfully Yours
He was featured in a case study on how the brain works. He could make each hand completely independent from the other, citing Bach!
Wow. I knew he played, but didn't know he was accomplished.
Too young to die. RIP Mr. Moore.
Wonderful swing Dudley has
I remember when Dudley Moore was unfairly and harshly accused of drunkenness when all along his symptoms were the result of his suffering from PSP (progressive supranuclear palsy) which caused him to lose his coordination.
He was an all-around talent. Rest in peace, Dudley.

He’s doing the most accurate impression of Erroll Garner.

Absolutely Classic times 🎪🥳❤️ I was 18 on this night and never realized how SPECTACULAR 🎹⭐️ this little funny guy was ✊
I'm only seeing Moore as Spin from Really Wild Animals. Nostalgia
13:35. Great instrumental version of "Theme from Arthur." Christopher Cross was the musician who sang this song and made it a hit.
Groucho doing a fine job on the bass 👍🏻
3:36 Sadly he was right about that ("All gone....")
What a talent!!
Talent.
I didn't know Dudley was married to Tuesday Weld.
Mr Moore was very talented and he is missed
Dudley Garner - very nice!

So many people get that moniker that actually suck though. But yes, he was quite good.
Hello, how're you doing.?
Yes. I own 3 of his CDs.
Organ scholar at Magdalen College Oxford. Also studied at the Guildhall iirc
Those are the days not only I was younger, but the West was not an insane asylum
A tremendous man in more ways than I can count.
