Had the privilege of spending an afternoon with Senor Wences and his wife Tally in 1981.
I am 64 and always enjoy watching this man from my days as a young boy. My grandkids also enjoy watching this great man.
Just awesome. I like how neither Dave nor the audience nor the production staff could stop the man from finishing his bit. A true vaudevillian!
So freaking talented. These aren't even full dummies, they are litterally hand puppets. There really is nothing like this any more.
Remembering a simpler time....when we all gathered on Sunday Night to watch Ed Sullivan!
When Señor Wences was scheduled to be on a program like the Ed Sullivan Show, kids like me always made it a point to watch because you always knew it would he funny.
Señor Wences is the only guy who could make people laugh simply by saying "'sall right."
Revisiting these beautiful moments of a bygone era can give your heart and soul a refreshing break from what this world has become.
What an amazing ventriloquist, I hardly saw his lips clearly moving all the time
Sure, his mouth moved...but the voice came from OVER THERE. The man was a magician.
What a great man. Entertained in the twenties and one year short of the 2000's. If he can live to 100 smoking, we can all live to 120 not smoking.
Brilliant. Senor Wences was a true CLASSIC!!! Thank you for this and all your wonderful posts.
Senor Wences....a genius ventriloquist..Loved seeing him on the Ed Sullivan show
Senor Wences was one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
Very good Señor, thank you.
Senor Wences forever,,,,!!
Is good? Is good! S'allright? S'ALLRIGHT !
When my daughter was little (in the very early days of the internet) I tried but failed to find a video of Señor Wences to illustrate for her what daddy found funny. I found a kind soul who mailed me a VHS tape of Wences on The Muppet Show from maybe 1980. I was rolling on the floor; my daughter just didn't get it. Kids today!
I'm sure I recall him in the sixties here in the UK. It was the tail-end of an era when true talent, hard work and charisma were the qualifications required for stage and tv success. Programmes like the Ed Sullivan Show (in the US) and Parkinson or Braden's Week in the UK used to showcase these talented people, usually after Match Of The Day on a Saturday night. We were so lucky, and it seems that as television broadcasting technology has improved, the quality of the fare has diminished.
Educating my 20yr old about where 'saright came from.
