No, Buddy did lose it, but he recovered as fast as only an old time vaudeville (show must go on) Pro can do. Chuckle a time or two and VHOOM! Right back to his lines.
For those who don't know, from the earliest part of his career, Buddy Ebsen made his way in Hollywood as a DANCER. His most well-remembered number in his youth was probably sharing a step or two with Sherley Temple in "Captain January" in 1936 before a make-up allergy forced him out of "The Wizzard of Oz" in 1938.

@@miltonhollis703 I don't think you understood what I said, and considering how you spell unnecessary I'm not going to bother trying to explain it to you let's just say your analysis could not be further from what I would intended
Buddy Ebsen clearly knew only his own lines for this sketch as he laughs at every joke he didn't know was coming. It even seems like he is reading his own lines,too. He either walked into this sketch almost, or completely cold, and still did a good job. That's watcha call talent!
That was a super classic for sure. Three very famous actors. I've seen a lot of TV in my days but can't honestly say I remember that skit. It definitely preceeded the invention of color television. Very funny stuff.
As a little girl, I loved Danny Kaye and had a cush on him. I thought he was sweet and very handsome With that red hair and gentle face and he had a wonderful voice. It was said that he had perfect pitch.
I had a friend that told me he read a lot about Ernest t bass in a book or possibly The Andy Griffith show and Andy didn't want earnesty on too often because he would upstage everybody he was so good I believe he was actually a writer for The Andy Griffith show too.
Morris directed some episodes of The Andy Griffith Show, Gomer Pyle, Hogan's Heroes, The Dick Van Dyke Show, the black and white pilot episode of Get Smart and later, episodes of One Day at a Time, Bewitched, and single episodes of many other comedy shows. Morris is also credited with creating the loudest and longest unprompted outburst of laughter from an audience on Your Show of Shows.
Whatever happened to good old-fashioned fun entertainment like this? I suppose I'm too young too have seen anything like this myself, but once I discovered Danny Kaye I enjoyed it.
@@whereswaldo5740 I also love Danny's films, he was a comedic genius! But he was also great in dramatic roles. He was awesome as Walter Mitty. I loved him in The Court Jester and Wonder Man too!
This was just comedy,People ! They were Terrific dancers !! No one should have thought they were making fun of anyone, I'd say . They must have really rehearsaled a lot to give this Wonderful performance !! I'm 77 & grew up in Texas. I enjoyed it immensely!! Thanks !!😂😂😂
The Danny Kaye Show was part of CBS's Wednesday night lineup that year, after the Beverly Hillbillies and Dick Van Dyke Show. In their pre-season CBS promotion, they had the Clampetts explain that they had 'new neighbors moving in… that there's Danny Kaye!'. The useless neurons you acquire as a child…
I will never EVER recognize Howard Morris's face. No matter how many times I've seen him, but I will never EVER forget his voice. I'd know it anywhere.
These 3 are classics. We love the old shows. Also seen Howard Morris on Jack Benny, and he did some of the “radio announcer “ voices on Andy Griffith too.
Boy, do I miss the old variety shows that I and my family grew up with!! 10 minutes was the most time for any music act or scene. Noways, these are replaced with "Talent Shows" and even worse, "Award shows"
@@whereswaldo5740The character was fashioned after actual people that lived in and around the Appalachian Mountains in the NC and Tennessee area. I don't say this as a slight to those people, in fact, I love the Appalachian area and the people there are among the best in the world. They, of course, exaggerated his character's antics for the sake of comedy but it was all in fun.
FUN FACT: Buddy Ebsen was a famous dancer long before he became Jed Clampett BONUS: The gentleman in the suit and hat wearing glasses is the late Harvey Korman from the 'Carol Burnette Show'.
My eyes kept going to Howard Morris. His dancing was so natural and fluid. I know Buddy Ebsen started his career as a dancer, but I always found that his height made him look gangly when he danced. I think Danny got overshadowed in that skit. .
I think that was part of Ebsen's charm. Despite his height and difficulty making the moves, he proved that tall guys could dance too. And he made up his own style -- it was very unique and memorable. Besides, he was an awesome dude in real life -- very nice to just about everyone.
When Buddy Ebsen played in the 50s TV show Davy Crockett I always thought he was short. Fess Parker who played Davy Crockett seemed to tower over him. Little did I know then that Fess was damn near 6'6" tall. In reality the real Davy Crockett stood about 5'7". Buddy Ebsen in his heyday stood 6'3". At the time of his death he was frail and stood about 5'9".
Then you don't listen well. Buddy Ebsen himself had issues with the portrayal and that is why he had it stipulated he would walkout at any time if he did not like a script (or so I have heard).
We aren't allowed to complain or have an opinion. Plus we aren't that soft ... Not unless it became political capital to say something then the left would be all over it.
+Ron Ray Ikr, because when i watched this for the first time,i recall how danny was hitting howard a little too hard. and it wasn't just for comic effect.
Jed Clampett with Ernest T Bass... never thought I'd see the day. Buddy Ebsen and Howard Morris were something. Danny Kaye & Harvey Korman were great too. 😅
I like to focus on Danny Kaye's artistry and the spirit he projects. He, like Lucille Ball, has been excused of having a huge ego. I don't know. All I see of him in a sketch like this is working beautifully with his fellow performers. Howard Morris has many delightful moments - and appears to be having a ball with Kaye.
Lucille Ball was know to be difficult to work for as she was often critically harsh on people she decided she did not like. When Vivian Vance decided to retire Ball tried out Joan Blondell as a replacement. Joan can be seen in two episodes of The Lucy Show. Ball decided she did not like Blondell and went on a tangent of negative thoughts and insults about her in front of the studio audience who had watched the two episodes being filmed with Blondell. Joan heard what Lucy said and left after giving Lucy a four letter word retort. Lucille Ball decided she did not like Madeline Kahn's speaking voice after she hired Kahn for the movie Mame. Ball's firing of Kahn and taking on the role of Mame are contributing factors for that movie being a major box office failure. Another clue to Lucy ego is that she was known to bully people like Patty Duke whom she though had her son Desi Jr's love child.
I've never heard anything about Danny Kaye having a big ego. All I can say is I met him around 1984 and he was as nice and friendly as I hoped he'd be.
@@eblackadder3 That's good to hear. Where did you meet him? I had read in Sid Caesar's autobiography that Danny did have a big ego. Everyone knew he loved to talk about his private plane as well as being friends with Dodgers' pitcher Sandy Koufax and Princess Margaret. One day at a script reading, Sid said Danny said "I was flying my plane over the weekend. Sandy was with me and we were talking about Princess Margaret..." Sid said it was the "trifecta," all three at one time, and everyone in the room started laughing hysterically. --In any case, what a talent he was.
One wonders if Mel Brooks had anything to do with this? Otherwise, he stole the idea of hillbillies incongruously singing Jazz in the same way that the old railroad boys sang. "I get No Kick From Champagne" in "Blazing Saddles". Same premise--funny both times!
As a child everything seemed innocent based on TV portrayals! But looking back, there were many loosing their lives and being abused in the Civil Rights movement and a year later we were engaged in the Vietnam war!
@@LilFisch1174 - wait...what? The 60s had moments of beauty, sadness and outright horror! We were only hours away from a full blown nuclear war with Russia, we watched a beloved President get domed on live TV, an escalating war in Vietnam, and people being ripped apart by dogs for peacefully protesting makes the 60s one of the most tumultuous decades in American history!
Pure unadulterated fun, and as the last person said not vulgar or swearing needed , these folks were the real true comedians
Howard Morris, Danny Kaye, Buddy Ebsen AND Harvey Korman. What a combo!
I miss the Beverly Hillbillies and Carol Burnett 📺Show with Harvey
Greatness
When Danny Kaye ended his show in 1967,Carol Burnett asked him to be a regular performer on her show, which began that fall.The rest is history.
@@erinmeggik391I hope variety shows make a comeback.
@@erinmeggik391 Pluto TV app runs both shows and many more classics…Free! I cancelled cable several years ago and don’t miss it at all.
Pure brilliance. Howard Morris was so incredibly underrated. He and Danny (whether or not they liked working together) are comedic gold. Great sketch!
Ernest T. Bass on the Andy Griffith Show. Classic role.
Buddy Ebsen almost loses it several times.
What a talented group of men.
No, Buddy did lose it, but he recovered as fast as only an old time vaudeville (show must go on) Pro can do. Chuckle a time or two and VHOOM! Right back to his lines.

There are some of us that would rather research on our own. You can safely assume no one else cares.

Of the tin man but I didn't know why he declined it, makes sense though that silver makeup or whatever it was they used back then, no telling what the heck that could do to your health.
A lot of people forget that Buddy Ebsen broke into show business as a song-and-dance man. Once a hoofer, always a hoofer.
The original Tin Woodsman . His allergy to the silver nitrate paint gave the role to Jack Haley..( Wizard Of Oz)
Ebsen and his sister were a dance team
This is the entertainment I grew up watching, fun to watch, thanks for posting St.Louis Flashback :)
I loved Danny the way he was dancing and acting , he made this show enjoyable and loved .
Howard Morris would also play the role of Ernest T. Bass on the Andy Griffith Show. You can see that character in this performance by Morris.
He was also the voice of Gopher in the Winnie the Pooh cartoons. 😁
His rapidness of tongue verbal technique will forever be unbeatable.He is a legend!!
All pure talent. Professional, mature men playing silly characters. This is utterly charming and highlights one inescapable fact: They just don't make'em like this anymore. Bravo to these fine actors. Kaye was always pure Broadway.
