Amen ! Buster lives !.

Buster Wrote most of the Scripts for Lucy Ball TV Shows. Buster Keaton was the Entertainer par Excellence. R.I.P

I never knew these two had worked together. What a treat.

Buster Keaton actually mentored Lucille Ball, he talks about it lightly in his autobiography and I believe she had a bit if it in hers

And a fourth comedy treasure introduced the skit, and he's still with us in 2022, DANCING at 96. Yes, dancing at NINETY-SIX!

Laughter is good for the heart. I am 69. How lucky I am to have seen Keaton, Ball and Dick Van Dyke alive when I was a child.

Seventy years old -- and still a master of physical comedy. God bless Buster Keaton.

Buster Keaton was the kindest man and brilliant comedian Lucille Ball was also kind and brilliant.

Ahh what a lovely tribute to the silent comedy sketches... Buster of course was a natural for this, and good ol' Lucy - a talented clown in her own right, God bless her, she didn't steal the scene but shared it beautifully xx

Lucy was a student, so to speak, of Buster.

Apparently, Buster was a DAMN good man. My great Grandma used to tell us about how he tried to save her uncle Roscoe after the trial, but all Roscoe wanted was to drink.

Ineteresting to see the personal comment Chris. Harvey consistently showcased his comedic brilliance. He was such an amazing fit with CB, TC, VL and together they truly ruled their era and beyond. I miss that humour format so much. Thank you for sharing.

This is a brilliant skit. The newspaper gag at 1:59 was taken from Buster Keaton’s 1921 film “The High Sign”.

Lol the best of 2 comedy stars

Lucille Ball and Buster Keaton!! 🤣

Even 70 was amazing !!!

Both are great Artists.

Wonderful.

Buster was the only one that put him to work. He hired him to be a Director under the name William Goodrich. Paying 35% of the Buster Keaton Comedies Company profits. Which was a very sizeable sum in those days. Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle was the one who gave Buster his shot by having Buster appear in his films with him. Buster never forgot that. And helped the man who gave him his start. Roscoe passed away from a heart attack in his sleep on June 29th 1933 in his sleep at age 46, after signing a new contract earlier that very day with Warner Bros. He made a few short two reelers just prior to that. H was married a few times. But unknown if he had any kids.

This would’ve been a year before Keaton died.

this special aired nov. 23, 1965, laurel had died in feb. that year, buster had lung cancer and wasn't aware of it, he'd die feb. 1966, less than 3 months later, and less than a year after stan laurel did. another anniversary of sorts is this special played a day after the 2 year anniversary of jfk's assassination.

@@jessicathethreestoogesfan2635 Dear Jessica, They were both at the MGM studios in the 1940s. Buster befriended her and taught her the elements of comedy. Buster also helped Lucy rehearse “the cello scene” for the “I Love Lucy” pilot. She was very grateful to Buster Keaton- as are we all! Best regards, Edgar Russell

He died the following year :'(

Guy was the jackie chan of the silent era

Buster keaton young is cute🔥🔥🔥🔥

From what I understand, he met her early in her career and was very kind to her, mentoring her in some of the fine points of physical comedy. She esteemed him very highly.

a random gumball machine appears. Too cute

This was released in Nov 965. Buster passed away Feb 1st 1966.

Funny!! 2 great comics!

I believe the policeman was Harvey Korman, a comedic genius is his own right.

I was enjoying myself so much I didn't even notice Harvey Korman was the policeman until I read the comments! Thank you guys.

Never realized how short he was.
