- Fifty years ago tonight, January 12, 1966 on ABC, Batman premiered on broadcast television and a media sensation was born.
This is a clip from the Vicki Lawrence syndicated talk show from June 19, 1994. Adam West (Batman), Julie Newmar (Catwoman) and Frank Gorshin (Riddler) reminisced at their days on the show, and Gorshin (RIP) does another of his wonderful Kirk Douglas impressions!

Batman forever!
I got to meet Frank Gorshin at a small comicon in Roanoke VA. I had walked outside to smoke a cigarette and there he was talking to some folks and having a smoke. Honest to God, he was the nicest guy, had wonderful stories and was a thrill to meet.
I was just reading on Wikipedia how Gorshin was an extremely heavy smoker (smoking as much as 5 packs a day) He died of lung cancer. (I enjoyed his Riddler a lot when I was a kid during the original run of Batman on TV)
That is so cool. I always enjoyed Frank's work. I recall his guest spot on The Munsters, where he played a drunken car salesman, called, Fair Deal Dan. Hilarious. Great Riddler too. He was a first rate mimic. His best was his Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas, and he did quite a few real well.
That's awesome. My dad lived in Roanoke.
That is so great. I'm very jealous. I would have loved to have met Frank Gorshin. In New York, I did get to meet Julie Newmar and Adam West and couldn't believe how nice they were. They went out of their way to give people their undivided attention. It was the thrill of a lifetime.
There will never be another Riddler like Frank Gorshin. He was the best, especially his laughter!
good impressionist
Nelson Cruz
Kirk Douglas
Burt Lancaster
James Cagney

Gorshin made a ass of himself on this dumb stupid TV show .. since then I avoided any movie or TV show with him on it .. In fact I did not watch this posting ..I just saw his picture and decided to comment about his stupid acting .. He was never funny and he was just a total disgusting actor .. His so called acting will not be missed
@@FreedomFighter-cr5xg Wow!! Did he steal your wife or something? So much hate towards Frank Gorshin. I could not disagree with you more. He was great as the Riddler and his laugh was outstanding.
@@daletwin1 No hate .. just my observation ..
you are the one spewing hate towards me .. I never did anything to you , so cool it with your hate-filled lies .. Thankyou ..
I agree totally with other posters here: Frank Gorshin stood out as the best Riddler bar none. And the giggling laugh he did in that role is unforgettable.
Adam West will always be The Bright Knight. RIP. RIP also to Frank Gorshin, the greatest impressionist ever and the absolute best Riddler. He played his role semi-straight, unlike the other guest villains, and that made him all the more menacing. He was one of a kind.
Frank Gorshin was a very good actor. Of course he was a great Riddler. He starred on Combat twice and I was very impressed watching him with the great Vic Morrow. An excellent drama actor.
Out of all the villains the Riddler was the best one. He wasnt overly theatrical like the Joker, wasnt purring like Catwoman or quacking like the Penguin. He seemed like at any time he could grab an Uzi and take out an office.
Thank you!! Love the Riddler best!!
Disagree
Gorshin modeled The Riddler after Richard Widmark's Tommy Udo.
Frank Gorshin played the Riddler as if he were on the very edge of insanity. It was always fun when the Riddler was the supervillain featured on the show.
Nothing tops Ceaser Romero.
Julie Newmar is an ageless beauty. Every kid had a crush on her in the 60s and 70s.
❤her sexy voice &, Julie Newmar catwoman outfit matches her pretty skin
Frank Gorshin was 61 when this was filmed, although he somehow managed to look even older. He died in 2005.
almost all the actors from the 1960s who got suntans back then look older than they are becuase over exposure in the sun robs the body of nutrients which causes wrinkles.
Gorshen IS the Riddler !
Nobody did it better!
A piece of trivia: Frank Gorshin (along with Davy Jones of Monkees fame) was on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964, the same exact night some group from Liverpool, England made their American debut. And the rest is history.
i watch this show every Saturday night on ME TV! Thank you soooo much!

I was.11 years old and I saw the first episode in 1965.
One gets the impression watching the old Batman series that Frank Gorshin had a lot of fun playing the Riddler. And of course Julie Newmar is the only true Catwoman. The thing I remember from when I was a kid, the show came on twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday. There was always a cliff hanger at the end of Tuesday's episode and the announcer would urge you to tune in again for the conclusion on Thursday, "same Bat-time, same Bat-channel." Great stuff.
Julie was awesome cat
Frank was funny.
Adam west and Frank Gorshin were really close friends
Oh my God!!!!! It's a wonder I didn't hunt myself running home after school to watch this. Same time same bat channel
Loved Adam west
I met Julie Newmar.. in person.. ... real nice.. and she was hot up close....She was the best Catwoman...
Agree 100%. I met her too and she couldn't have been nicer or more beautiful. I became embarrassingly awkward. Yes, the Cat got my tongue!
@@trevclark9840 Oh, you lucky, ...ah, fellows. Man, if I ever had the privilege, I'd prolly become speechless. I've had a crush on forever. She will always be the only Catwoman, for me.
Julie is an ageless beauty.
❤her catwoman outfit matches her pretty skin and sexy voice, Julie Newmar
love Frank Gorshin's sense of humor. Wrong redhead. Frank and Michael Keaton coolest Pittsburghers next to Mr Rogers of course.
I've got the Batman Blu-ray boxset with batmobile and replica gum cards.
The best villains of them all, imcomparable, no substitutes! They were Phenomenal, Riddler, Joker, penguin, catwoman!
Burgess Meredith, Cesar Romero and Julie Newmar were my favorites!!!
omg this is the best show i see in my life but my favorite villian is the riddle
❤the villan pretty &sexy assistant, catwoman outfit matches her pretty skin and sexy voice, Julie Newmar
The actors..who played"Catwoman's"(Ms.Newmar's)henchmen on the "Batman"tv show were so dumb..that she said in one episode"Why can't get good help"? (LOL!).
Calling Vicki on her own bullshit is great
@Bran U. Galen
Yes! Frank wasn't having it. He was really loose in interview situations and could be very . . . frank. 02:53, btw.
CATWOMAN, JULIE NEWMAR IS TALL.
My Lord, how tall is Julie? she is at least as tall as Adam West.
Google says Ms Newmar is 5’11.” Adam West was 6’2.” She looks taller than all of them here in this interview. She is still a statuesque beauty after all these years! 😱😍😘
@@DWORLD-xl4pb and those legs!!
Joker the best, followed by Riddler.
AWESOME 🖤🖤🖤😱✅💪🏽👌
Do u have the rest of this episode...i had it as a kid there's a fun fake fight scene
We just loading up that clip (6/12/17) - working on the tributes for Adam West early this morning on news of his passing. May he rest in peace... he was simply wonderful as Batman and a great guy and fine actor... outstanding interview as well. Enjoy the new Vicki!/Batman tribute clips. - Television Vanguard staff
Gorshin was short.
Whatever happened to Ivonne Craig?
Sadly, Yvonne Craig died at age 78 at her home in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, California, on August 17, 2015, from metastatic breast cancer that had spread to her liver.
it seems a little uncomfortable ?
Audience claps tooo damn long and loud! Ridiculous!
They aren't clapping for you. Settle down.
Really fun video, but I cringed when Vicki Lawrence was asking them about getting paid for reruns. Not a very classy question.
Residuals!
Vicky Lawrence is horrible as a host. She seems to have "peaked" on the Carol Burnett show. Fun seeing the cast members of Batman though. Thanks for uploading.
Something tells me Julie was not the brightest light in the Bat Cave...
Michael Klein Something tells me that you regard yourself as a genius...
Checkout her net worth and her challenges and think again your statement.

Well, you'd be wrong. In addition to her great beauty, she is highly intelligent. Perhaps, a tad quirky, but I think it adds to her persona. Purfect, to me
FrankGorshin,andJim Carey played the riddler perfectly did not like john Aston playing the riddler he didn't fit the part at all
Jim Carey sucked
Jim Carey is an overrated wanker
Jim Carrey could have done a good job. Instead, he was simply performing his usual stock comic persona. Gorshin was far more nuanced.
Astin was miscast and lacked the manic energy that Gorshin gave to the character.
@@vividwatch47 Frank Gordon wasn't available. He already had a prior commitment. What did you expect them to do?
Julie Newmar as Catwoman gave me my 1st ejaculation at 4 years old back in 67. Yvonne Craig as Batgirl was my 2nd.
Looooooool
Thanks for sharing!
😆🤣😂😹
Video NOLA...probably too many cigarettes and alcohol. Are you NOLA from SHE.GOTTA HAVE IT?
Vicky Lawrence is the worst interviewer ever! Made the Batman cast cringe at times.
This show absolutely sucked. Batgirl was the only reason to watch it.
Are you referring to Batman or Vicki Lawrence ?? Cuz if you're referring to Batman you can SUCK IT redflammer….>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Batgirl was an attempt to extend the series and to appeal to prepubescent female children.
