This segment from a 1949 episode of The Ed Wynn show spotlights two great comedy legends from the early days of live television. In this piece Wynn and Buster try a new kind of format "silent television". Great fun. This piece fell into the public domain in 1977 from lack of copyright renewal.

This man was brilliant.
Keaton and wynn on the same stage. what a privilege for fans of great old-school comedy.
Two Grand Masters at their best.
he was trying to make a comeback after his offers from the studios went dry. ed wynn gave him a few shots on his show...so sad for a master like him to be forgotten and thrown aside
Two of the best comedians ever.
it's amazing the pratfalls this man continued to do up to the time of his passing. One of the greats. I wonder if you tube has his work with Fatty Arbuckle, who groomed him into the comedy legend he is

Michael Way, well this skit is from “the butcher boy” in which Ed’s part is Roscoe. It is on KZread :) there are lots of their other films together too.
What a wonderful treat. Two legendary comedians on the same stage together......Thank you!
Buster is crossing over...after all those years. lol Two of the best in one show. What a treat for these people back then and now.
Amazing!
Thanks for posting this! Taking a fall flat on his back for a laugh from a live audience at his age-- yow.

National TV audience too, to be fair.
Love it, thank you!
Buster Keaton, what a wonderful comedian! I wonder if he directed this segment. Would make sense.
The scene is from "The Butcher Boy" originally starring Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle.
Love the word gag... No reaction from Buster until the sign's held up
thats when they had great stars and tv shows they can never be re placed
a different time completely. a better time.

Yes....and YES!
is my man rocking Burberry or what
Keaton didn't look well here. He actually looked better years later, when he was sober.
