    “Would you please enjoy a hot towel” 😂😂😂😂 Larry Melman was one of a kind, just hilarious.

    This is a beautiful disaster. One of the things I loved about Larry was I was never sure if he was in on the joke or not.

      @@charleybarley914 I wondered too and Calvert DeForest played the character of Larry Bud Melman. Which makes me appreciate it even more knowing we were laughing WITH him and knowing Calvert was in on the joke, but Larry Melman was not. Sheer GENIUS!

      I knew he was legit. Just a harmless, clueless schnook, used for laughs.

    I remembered when Calvert Deforest (Larry Melman) died, as a tribute Dave played back this segment in the CBS show

    So incredibly funny from start to finish. The mic technique gets things going, but Larry's little monologues interspersed throughout are pure gold

    The tall mustached fellow mentioned he was in NY working on a film called Sweet Ginger Brown. 1984's The Flamingo Kid was known as "Sweet Ginger Brown" early on -- referring to the Gin Rummy game.

    • @RangerVickyJohnson
      @RangerVickyJohnson 2 роки тому +3

      I had to Google it to see what movie he was talking about. Surprised to see it was The Flamingo Kid. My parents used to love that movie when I was kid.

    I saw this live as a teen, and I’m howling as loudly as I did back then. There was LITERALLY NOTHING else like it at the time. Not even SNL was this insane and purposefully, hilariously lame, as this bit and countless Letterman shows were. And oddball guests like Potato Chip Lady, parrot trainer, etc. It’s almost like anti-entertainment. Like punk comedy. He was like one of the coolest dudes around.

    My parents and I took a lot of buses and a lot of trains when I was a kid. I remember the faces of a number of bus drivers and train porters. They were all friendly and they were all black. Bless those hardworking people who kept America moving. Frankly, it’s something they’ve always done.

    In 1983, The Port Authority was one of the sketchiest and most crime ridden places on Earth!
    The old NYC doesn't exist anymore and in many ways that is a good thing!

    God, I miss old New York! Everything about this is great. The people at the bus station, the passengers arriving, the bus driver... Everything cleaner and classier. People had much more personality also. Now you would just see a bunch of zombies looking at their phones or absolute degenerates.
