The late great Foster Brooks. This is why I love KZread, get to relive old memories and see wonderful stuff I missed years ago.

Nobody does a better drunk than Foster🙏🤣

Its a great little pause in my day when I recieve notification that a brand new classic Carson segment has been updated. R.I.P. Johnny the GOAT!!

The first time I saw Foster Brooks was with my father, and we were both in tears from laughing!

The most amazing thing to me is how Foster could turn the drunk act on and off like a light switch

I simply love this man... Kind, soft and well spoken, thoughtful, very easy going modest man. Those kind of men from that era were all of that caliber. He set the bar so damn high, few could reach it. You are loved and missed Mr. Foster Brooks...

Met Foster Brooks when he came to Central America in the 80’s to do a USO tour. Helped him and his wife off of the C-130. Nicest man ever!

Growing up, I never heard him speak normally. Always impersonating a drunk. Pure talent.

The first time I heard him speak normally was in a PSA about substance abuse and seeking help for it. It was like “alcoholism is no joke.”

I wish I had lived in the USA during the 1970s and 80s. That period was filled with my favorite comedians. Those guys make me laugh so hard without excessive use of crudity. Thanks to video, we can still enjoy them today. And they are STILL funny!!

When Dean Martin brought him on the crew to do the roasts, no one wanted to go after him. No one could top him.

😂😂 That’s where I first saw him. I had heard that on his first Dean Martin roast appearance. Dean Martin did not know who he was, I think it was 1974? And Dean actually thought he was drunk! People have to remember that Dean Martin didn’t stay up to watch Johnny Carson. Many times on his own roasts he did not know who was being roasted until they were about to go onto the dais. Not 100% sure on the accuracy of the story but it’s one of those that you hope is true.

Same here. Some of my fondest memories from those days were watching Carson with my mom and dad. It was so special to stay up late and watch the show. Another was the Dean Martin Roasts, where FB was a regular. The caliber of celebs on those roasts was unbeatable with Benny, Burns, Burle, Hope, Welles, and on and on. Incredible TV. What a time to be a kid.

Sounds like our current resident in the white house 😂

A bygone era of very funny comedians.

The fact that this reminds me of my father in so many little ways really shows how good this guy is.

Thanks much. I don’t recall ever seeing this one before. Always enjoyed him! For some reason I always preferred the shows of the 70s; they seemed extra special somehow.

There has not been a late-night comedian even close to Johnny Carson since.

One of the all time great humorists !!!

I saw him In my home town, Grand Rapids Mi. In a parade honering the Gerald R Ford museum with Bob Hope Sammy Davis jr. And other hollwood stars. He was riding in the back of a convertible sitting in the middle with his arms stretched out resting on the left and right side of the car. I ran out to the car with my camera and shouted at him Foster (because he was facing away from me) he turned toward me and I said loudly,( trying to imitate him) I want to take your picture. He smiled and i did! I started back to to the side of the street and i quickly turned around and ran back said, Foster ive gotta shake your hand, and we did. Ha, that made my day. Hes one of a kind and one of my favorites. Ill never forget that day.😊

What a talent. Very funny man in a different era for comedy.

Foster Brooks was a genius. The way he describes his approach to the character shows just how good of an actor he was in addition to his comedy.

If you don't laugh when Foster is on may you rest in peace!! :-)

I love the old clips, everyone loved everyone and enjoyed life, I MISS THIS.

I love Foster Brooks's performance . He is incredible .

Glad I got to see these guys at the very end. Johnny smoking a cigarette. Lol😂

One of the best comedians have all gone. Now all we get is trash and hate.

There will never be another Foster Brook’s

That was really neat seeing Foster for real! Thank you!

RIP Foster Brooks 🙏🎤

Talk about “clean” funny humor. Dog story….just great. I’m lucky to be old enough to remember when Mr Brooks came on the scene. Pure hilarity.

Love this guy and really miss Johnny!!

Foster was great, but Johnny was awesome. No one can hold a candle to him as host.

The man ,the myth,the legend!

He was awesome 👍😎👍

I got to meet Foster Brooks in Branson Missouri once.

Wonderful!

timing, superb, act, superb, brilliant

Love that dog story. Foster was the best, and he's stilll entertaining us all these years later. Performing that stand up comedy on live on TV took a lot of skill. Some may not know that Foster was a security guard for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Also he was a Shriner, the fraternity known for their Hospitals for Children.

When Foster was with Deano, he would be in tears! 😂

What a Legend! Why can't entertainment be like this anymore?

Genius!

I sit next to Mr. Brooks at a bar in Vegas. He was not drinking. Such a nice man

He was such a treasure

He was such a Kentucky gentleman.

Louisville did him right when they named a street after him. He and Muhammad Ali were so proud to always mention Louisville.

this guy under rated genius.. he the one who made all other comics laugh at the roasts.. stole the show amongst some heavy hitters,,,

Love Foster Brooks, the king and roast master and loveable endearing drunk who never was. Great interview with Johnny on New years Day in 1975. Adore what they all are wearing and Foster is quite handsome. Love his grin and laugh. Great singer and storyteller like his dad. 😍🥰😘🤩✨ 🌟 📺😆🤣😂

In my opinion...he should have been cast in "Caddyshack" as the drunk priest. He would have literally catapulted that movie further into the stratosphere beyond it already with Rodney Dangerfield and Ted Knight going back and forth. That role would have been perfect.
