"Celebrity Billiards" Fats TV show

[Jeff]

Has anyone seen this show? Or have an old copy?

It was on TV in 1967 and starred Sid Caesar and Fats

I saw it and hated it. Fat's never shut up while the stars were shooting even though most couldn't run three balls. Johnnyt

Yea, that's Fats

But I would still like to see some episodes.

Like to see the movie "The Player" also.

Saw fats yesterday on Classic Billiards vs. Irv. What an obnoxious son of a gun! the only redeeming feature is that he had this glint in his eye that said "I know I'm only funnin you..."

After five minutes, I was ready to hear more of Mosconi's "what now charlie ???"

I still enjoy watching Fats. I bought the book "Hustler and the Champ" and I received a copy of the Wide World of Sports challenge match between Mosconi and Fats. I have watched it over and over again. He was quite the character. I know he wasn't the best player but I found him very entertaining.

In the AZBTV section of this site, there is an interview or maybe 2 w fats where he talks about playing zsa zsa, the SUltan of Brunei, Happy the Chinamen etc. Hilarious and about 4% true id guess.
