    I was lucky enough to see him perform in person. What a night. No notes, no teleprompter, he sang and spoke and reminisced for over 2 hours. And we gave him 3 standing ovations. The Best.

    I really don’t understand for the life of me how no adults introduced me to George Burns growing up. I’m 34 and just now discovering him. Evangelicals ruin all the fun and laughs ugh. George reminds me so much of my grandpa, loved cigars and Marlboro lights, told stories all day with jokes and went through quite a lot in the 20th century. Now all we get is shit wages Facebook vaccines and depression. Sheesh

    • @fonso1030
      @fonso1030  Рік тому

      Makes me happy to hear that you’ve finally discovered George :) I got into him at age 12 in 1994 thanks to my English teacher Ms. Craig. I remember when he died, and all the movies I saw of his and studied his career thereafter. I highly recommend all of his books, they’re fantastic and a real piece of show business history.

    He really smoked all those years & still lived to be 100! That’s amazing. Just goes to show that lung cancer doesn’t only hit smokers. My grandmother never smoked a day in her life & she died in 2006 at the age of 76. Also a LOT of celebs died of lung cancer & they never smoked! Take Bea Arthur for example! She NEVER smoked & unfortunately died of lung cancer 😞She was the best actress on Broadway & in Hollywood & an amazing activist. George is amazing in everything he does, too ♥️ He also still had a joke in everything he did😂 “I’m 93 & the bricks fell apart” also “Wanna see me walk fast? Speed up the camera” 😂

    Only a legend books a show for their 100th birthday ten years out and makes the show. All the bells and whistles in 2024 don't compare to George Burns clever one-liners and wit. It was in his blood to be an entertainer. I worry he had to a lonely life, as famous as he was. He lost his wife so young, and his best friend Jack Benny left him in his early 70s.

    You have to put in context what a phenom it was for a nonagenarian to be as lucid and ostensibly hale and healthy back in the 80s, when the average life span for men was 72. Today it's still only 78. Billions and billions spent on healthcare and "longevity" (everything from fad vegan nutrition to Rx drugs to "managed lifestyle") and still we can't come close to what this man achieved. Thanks for sharing the video.

    George Burns (registrado al nacer como Nathan Birnbaum; Nueva York, 20 de enero de 1896-Beverly Hills, California; 9 de marzo de 1996) fue un cómico y actor estadounidense. Su amplia carrera incluyó participaciones en teatro, cine, radio y televisión, incluidos algunos con su esposa, Gracie Allen. Sus rasgos más característicos durante sus casi 75 años de carrera fueron sus cejas arqueadas y el puro con el que siempre aparecía en escena. Pero más destacable fue su resurrección artística a una edad en la que la mayoría de las personas están retiradas o ya han fallecido. A partir de los 79 años, y hasta que falleció a los 100 años, George Burns conoció un nivel de fama que ya había perdido y que no conocía desde sus años en la radio. Incluso en los años 1990 apareció en un episodio de Los Simpson como hermano de C. M. Burns (el oso de Burns).
