What a treat to see that again. I never realized what good musicians they were. And for some reason, we still laugh at Tom's fumbling. Thanks Brian, my brother and I had to sing that song at our parents' party, too.
RIP Tommy Smothers, who just a few days ago passed away in his beloved Sonoma County, California. I would see him occasionally as a guest at the Christmas show in the ice rink Charles Schulz built in 1969, known as Snoopy's Home Ice. There are beginnings and endings and all that happens in between.
@@emmgeevideo Indeed I do. One of my favorite gags was when he would ask the audience for nouns and verbs and include them in a skit. Very funny stuff. Steve Allen had a very quick wit. So long ago. Happy new year!
@@emmgeevideo I remember. Steve was an absolute scream with his show too. I wished his show would have lasted - I remember Don Knotts, the man out in the street. Love him.
Great early clip of them. And listen to their harmony and ability to be together (like the Everly Bros and the Bee Gees, other brother groups). And watch how Tommy breaks away and yet can come back spot on. They'd begun performing in 1959 in San Fran.
Can you imagine how it was back then, when it wasn’t for TV, celebrity friends would actually have parties and their celebrity friends would actually entertain. Every house had a piano and they would stand or sit around and sing. What a time it was. I’m sure the Allen brothers have great stories to tell. In any case, I’ve been gobbling up every bit of Smothers Brothers I can find and this was such a treat to see Steve, Jayne, the Allen kids and Tom and Dick. Such memories. Steve’s laugh should have been trademarked!

Professor, not everyone is as smart as you are. Calm down. There is nothing wrong with Brian Allen except he can't read the opening shot that says this is the 1963 Christmas Show.

God blessthe Smothers Brothers and the joy they brought to life.

First Smothers Brothers impersonation I ever saw. They nailed it.

Steve Allen was the very first host of the Tonight Show.
Godspeed, Tommy, wherever you are.
But you do know that he had a show called "The Steve Allen Show" and this was a special episode of that show?

Very cool thanks for sharing
So cute, who knew how talented you were.
Adorable Brian.
I remember the Smothers Brothers, the boys captured them perfectly 💖 Very cute and sweet. Who's the girl in the portrait behind everyone?
Will you have the Steve Allen show from July 13, 1964? Antonio Carlos Jobim appears, we would love to hear his presentation
LOL The title shot says this is the 1963 Christmas show...
It's 61.😢
didnt know when i was little
You know, when Tommy went into his monologue, I would have sworn I was listening to a Kamala Harris speech.
No sound?
was tim conway referred to as tom conway?
This aired while McHale's Navy was still on the air and he was Tim then- I think the announcer,, or whomever wrote his script, made a boo-boo!

Proof that there is time travel is Tommy Smothers doing a wonderful impersonation of Donald Trump at a rally.

Their name was "Smothers" NOT "Smother's". Who do you know has an apostrophe in his name? What the hell is wrong with you?
Oh this made me laugh SO hard ! I'm usually the one who points out errors, and then someone says "Oh they probably did that just to make you look" LOL
