The obvious love Ann-Margret had for George is so touching. Made me tear up.😭
That got to me too. 😢
RIP George Burns (January 20, 1896 - March 9, 1996), aged 100
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Remember, the longer that they stand and clap, the longer this 99 yr old man has to stand himself. This was a very warm and loving tribute by an audience, who -by and large -barely heard of vaudeville, had no memory of Gracie or his early TV show, and thought all radio was ever good for was playing rock or country hits and listening to PBS. What they know of this man was the occasional appearance on Johnny Carson , or Los Vegas circuit, Oh God and the Sunshine Boys movies.
I’m 34 and I’ll say George was one of my favorite comedians. Love him!!!
My Brother and I had the pleasure of meeting George in 1994 when I was 12. A friend of our family took us up to his house while we were in Los Angeles to go to Disneyland. His housekeeper said to come back the next day at a certain time. Like clockwork, he pulled up in the town car and we took Polaroid photos with him in his garage. We mailed them to him along with some 8x10's, he signed them all and sent them back. I had no idea who he was at the time!
Even near the end he still had a joke in him
Well deserved after 10 decades in the business.
I still watch George and Gracie Burns on antenna TV.
LOVE George and Gracie!
Two legends right there
George Burns is my hero!
The room didn't feel as appreciative as one would expect...She was BROKE UP with gratitude and everybody else was acting like they were filming a scene.
Screw them snobs they only can dream to have a career that George Burns had.
What do you expect? He believed in her and gave her first big break to her in Las Vegas. She was very grateful AND they remained friends. Ann Margaret was, and still IS a classy lady. Take a good look kiddies because we're loosing more of them each year and soon, they will be just like the old south....a generation gone with the wind!
It is what Hollywood does so well--fake sincerity! To paraphrase Martin Short--"You are the most sincere phony person of all the Late Night Hosts!"
Most of those people would never have seen his vaudeville act, but many might have been old enough to have watched his television show from the 1950s. I'm 77 and I remember watching his show on morning daytime TV.
Wow,what a great manyou are so missed
His smartest move was landing Gracie. Very nice people.
And, unfortunately, his dumbest move was cheating on her.
"You know, I really wish George would cheat on me again. I could use a new centerpiece." - Gracie Allen

@@partyguy101ify But he was so guilt ridden over it he never did it again. And she forgave him.
@@electrictroy2010 Yes she said that to Jack Benny's wife because when he cheated, he gave her a silver something or other she had wanted for the dining room in their house. It was in "Gracie A Love Story" which was one of Burns books.

Me too love when people tell jokes with a straight face makes it more funnier!!
A young Tom Hanks!
So sad, all he wanted to do is sit down.
If they planned it A little better his last words on television would not have been: i’m going to sit down now. (but he waited as long as he could) Legend.
It was actually a joke ad-libbed by this 99-year-old legend. Not such a bad last line.
