Much of it was an act but during this time of Dean's life you never knew which Dean was going to show up. Johnny wasn't just playing along here...Dean was, in fact, sloshed a great deal. After his son died Dean's drinking went into overdrive.

What blows me away, Johnny's show was from 1962 to 1992, thirty years. seemed like forever, but, he retired in 1992 which is 34 years ago, hard to believe, he has been gone longer than he was on the show.

Saying Dean Martin NEVER drank is like saying Dean Martin Never smoked......Yes he drank , but the drunk act was a " put on ".....Now there are those who say after his eldest son died -- he was never the same and began drinking & smoking way too much. And then he was diagnosed with cancer -- he did quit smoking , but too late......

Wow those were the days, Dean smoking a cigarette, then Johnny lights up a cigarette ON AIR, and good old genuine laughs !!!! Those were the best shows ever !

Dean Martin was always Priceless ❤

Here's what his daughter, Deanne said about his drinking to the LA Times: The truth of the matter, she said, was her father was swigging apple juice and not liquor when he performed. "He would be home for dinner every night," Martin said. "He would come home, and he and mom would have their one cocktail at the bar. He was kind. He was so different from what everybody thought he was. There was no one who could do Dean Martin better than Dean Martin."

It was an act.

Dean Martin was a loving family man who made sure he sat down every night to have dinner with his family. He loved his kids and turned down lucrative roles and contracts if it kept him away. We need more men like him

Absolute legend even in his own time.

Dino had something that one thing Frank wanted to have, his humor and the way his jokes effortless kept coming. I love Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, very lucky to have seen their shows in Vegas, exceptional true performers and fantastic gentleman, sorely miss them.

Oh, ah, ha, ha, ha ha, Dean's killing me, with all of his funny actions and the things that he does. What a crack up!

Dean was 62 here; his health deteriorated significantly through the 80's, dying from acute respiratory failure resulting from emphysema in 1995 at 78; Johnny died from the same cause in 2005 at 79.

These guys lived a life nobody can ever dream of back in a time before politics had to ruin everything in life. Our minds today cant even comprehend how awesome their lives were.

This was a GREAT act ! Dean was actually perfectly sober. At the end, when the cameras were off. Dean said to the audience "How was that?" and showed them that he was completely sober. He told them to keep the secret, that only they knew, and all the television audience would believe it and never know

Brilliant!

He is a comic genius... So many ppl thought he was really drunk and he was never working tanked. Was all an act. He's reading cue cards like on SNL w some adlib too... Cracks me up. His willingness to do physical comedy during his early movie career with Jerry Lewis win my respect because alot of stars would never have let themselves get dumped out of a barber chair on their head for a laugh. Dean is a national treasure! Side note, so apparently Arnold Schwarzenegger used to have an office building he rented out to celebs, movie directors etc and Johnny was a tenant, he said in real life Johnny was super serious and talked about politics and real issues of the day and never really any comedy. Thought that was interesting. :)

This is classic 😂no one like Johnny Carson and Dean Martin will ever exist again

Still smoking on TV in 1980, damn.

In Dean's early days, his drunkenness was just an act. Unfortunately, the truth is that after the tragic death of his son, it was no longer an act. He couldn't handle the death of his son. It absolutely destroyed him and it was sad to see the way he lost his spark and joy. But even while he was drunk, he was still just as loveable and charming. He never gave up! Love Dean Martin!

True talent. Miss it.

Irony is getting a DUI on Dean Martin Drive in Las Vegas…😂

So much fun back in the day

Dean was the coolest cat ever.

His Drunkenness was an Act. Frank Sinatra has been quoted as saying, ““I've spilled more booze by accident than Dean has drank”. It was a superb act and he was the undisputed king of this routine. Legends all of them. They knew how to entertain something Hollywood has forgotten how to do.

Ive heard that Dean Martin was never actually drunk in any of his appearances...and that it was all an act. But after being an alcoholic myself for decades, you don't get an act THAT spot on, unless you have some experience being around these types of people. If he's only pretending to be drunk, that's a damn good act.

That was Dean's shtick, the drunk act.

3 years after his son died, reunited for many years. We miss you Mr. Martin.

Dean was that good of a actor, when he was told to do a drunk act, he actually got really pissed and nailed the part
