WC Fields. Most of us have seen the famous clip called Honest John but this is just as good.

enjoyed it but I was lazy!
I did enjoy the video but you have to understand my circumstances. My computer mouse is almost always within arm reach, my keyboard is often five feet away!! The sheer drudgery of having to get up and walk over to retrieve my keyboard or sit closer to the computer to use my desk top insures that I often don't respond to something.
WC was known as the world's greatest juggler before he ever started into comedy. His skill with prop's and physical comedy was and is in a class all by itself.
I do appreciate you posting the link and I'd give you rep for it but that requires use of both the mouse and the keyboard and it's been a long day! :grin-square::grin-square::grin-square:

I was entertaining thoughts of being mad at you but the three square grins in a row made the difference:wink:.
W.C. Fields real name William Claude Dukenfield and despite his screen persona he did not drink. Free streaming for DCC on now and I have a basketball game to go to. Oh well soon the kids will be all groed up and I will miss this.

OK - took care of that for ya!! - and agree WC was in a class all by himself - which makes me wonder - can you imagine what havoc he and Jonathan Winters could have done together doing improv???? :rotflmao1:
Jackson
Winters, Conway, Skelton
Any two of the greats together would be fantastic. Of course when it comes to improv Groucho was the king I believe. Perhaps the funniest spur of the moment thing I have ever seen though is when Johnny Carson nailed Don Rickles. Don had guest hosted the Tonight Show for a day or two and broke Johnny's cigarette box that had been on his desk for many years. As timing would have it Don was shooting an episode of CPO Sharkey right down the hall when Johnny found the broken box. Johnny grabbed the camera crew and went down the hall to where Rickles was filming and gave Don hell about it. The only time I can ever remember Rickles truly at a loss for words.
