Milton Berle

wtf??? Ru that you?

Apparently he had a huge cock

Calm down, Frank Fay. Your people are back in power again.

Don’t even get me started on Hoagy Carmichael. He really burns my britches.

Kids watching The Flintstones had no idea who he was

Any Olsen and Johnson hot takes, OP?

Kudos to R3 for the most arcane reference of the week.

What the hell.

Hate the man luv the schlong.

Did R7 even read R6?

I'm R3 and R6 so I'll still take the kudos.

Why am I not in bed yet?

Because the VERY elderly often have insomnia.

He once screamed at Gary Morton, “And what have you ever produced, you son of a bitch, that your WIFE didn’t arrange for you!?”

Martin Scorcese loves the MB film ALWAYS LEAVE THEM LAUGHING (49). An inspiration for his DeNiro-Jerry Lewis showbiz black comedy KING OF COMEDY.

Scorcese grew up at a time when "Uncle Miltie" was the king of television.

I hate Bob Hope.

He wanted to do a great escapist romance epic with Lucile Ball, but Gary talked her out of it.

You should see him as a nasty man in Seven in Darkness, an early TV movie about a group of blind survivors of a plane crash.

What was the TV play or movie, I think it was on PBS, where Milton played the patriarch of a family, I think it was in the North Shore suburbs of Boston, and his youngest son, who's always pretending to be a ladies' man, comes out as gay? It was pretty good. I thought it was called Family Business, but I don't know. IMDB has an "American Playhouse" episode of 1983, and his character, Isiah Stern, but no title. Maybe that's it? Anyone remember it?

Yeah, I found it, that was the title. It was very good. I thought the youngest son was cute, at the time. Brian Ben Ben was the only other name I recognize in the cast.

I put him in his place thirty years ago.

R11, keep ‘em coming!

Lawrence Welk causes me so much CONSTIPATION!
