21+ years later...STILL, THIS IS A WORLD-CLASS ENTERTAINMENT BY TWO WORLD-CLASS ENTERNAINERS!.

Mailyn Mulvey is my Godmother! What a beautiful performance. I remember back in the days when she spent time with my parents. They were opera performers as well! Just incredible!

WOW !! God !

Singer ‘s voice is beautiful and she handles him humoring her performance nicely too. Nothing lessens her beauty.

We’ve lost it. We’ll probably never see this kind of gentle, intelligent humour again. Just two highly accomplished musicians messing around. No vanity and what’s more, no identity politics and no attempt to re-educate us. Stunning performance and funny too.

It's just going through phases. Before the time of intelligent, gentle humor there was rather nasty, cruel humor... intelligent humor will one day return.

There was no one like Victor then, and there hasn't been anyone since. He was a comedy genius (unlike anyone else) who was able to combine that talent with his ability to play the piano like a maestro. R.I.P. Victor 🤗 🎼 🎶 xxx

A number of times she lost it. That was until she got used to it, and then was able to maintain her composure. She nearly looses it in this vid, and one I have of them on DVD, she did lose it!! One performance my parents saw them at they had to stop the performance for 20 minutes because she had totally lost it.

The best part about this is, even though this is Borge's show, and he keeps making her laugh, he never once upstages her in this piece. It's all a bit of fun but he still lets Mulvey shine.

Had anyone noticed how did he play the right notes to help her continue singing? Wonderful man with high manners

She was such an amazing sport to do this with him. What a voice!

My parents were instrumental in introducing Marilyn to Victor. My folks were good friends with George Weigl, Victor's retired Orchestral Director. Marilyn's parents contacted my folks to see if they could arrange a meeting, and all that resulted in all of them sitting down at a dinner. Victor was impressed, agreed to an audition, and the rest is history. He was looking for a talented musician who also had a sense of humor, who could play ""straight man" to Victor's comedy.

Two incredibly talented artists together on one stage. They just don’t make them like this anymore.

It was a great loss when Borge died.

Although he played “jokingly” ...... the sound of the piano he produced is very beautiful... his touch so incredible ... Always love the late Victor Borge’s music .... and his jokes 👍

Incredible composure to sing as beautifully as she did with out fully falling apart with laughter. Amazing to watch .

That is the reason why she could not look at him. There are many times you could see her tyting to control her laughter when she looked at him.

What's more amazing is not only the jokes but that he can actually play so musically and so beautifully when he wants to!

When entertainment had class, simplicity, beauty, likeability. I miss this very much.

This is why Victor Borge's comedy worked so well! Besides his comedic efforts he was a world-class pianist which only strengthens the comedy! No one would ever expect comedy associated with such graceful music! His act was truly one-of-a-kind!

Marilyn has an unbelievable voice and Victor on the piano has an absolutely fantastic touch

Love her gown and gloves!!

He was totally hilarious and pure genius

I saw Mr Borge LIVE more than once. Great pianist and good clean humor. Columbia,Ohio Veterans Memorial Auditorium, it's gone now too 😮🎉 Lovely evening of entertainment that was a Dress Up event ❤🎉

I've seen this in different settings a few times now & get a laugh each time! He's cheeky & she can sing very high, wow!!

What’s also amazing is how aware he is of every piece he plays. astounding mind

Such a shame I wasn't born earlier to have enjoyed more of his live performances. I was only able to attend one of his live performances and it was the best live musical performance I have ever attended.

Wow she has a phenomenal voice! What discipline and range! Victor as usual is hilarious and added so much entertainment. You can definitely see his talent as a pianist the way he masters those ivories!

Bravo. Unsurpassed talent and fun. If the world sat for a performance like this once a month, it would be impossible not to be a better place.

I like really this Mans talent.. Great pianist great comedian. I only discovered him last night on one of those shorts while scrolling..Now I'm hooked...😊😂

This lady is very generously providing her excellent and precious soprano for this nice joke.

R.I.P to both of them. WHat a great performance they did and they left us with this incredible performance. VICTOR BORGE of course was the brain behind this hilarious skit. He told Mariyln what to do and when to do what etc.

He was a master, master pianist, performer, comedian, all of the above and in of the nth degree, and Mulvey, she was lovely, great range, classic operatic voice, oh yeah, she was ideal with him, wonderful chemistry and timing. It really is fun to watch them and appreciate their flawless talent!

Absolutely stunning, beautiful voice 👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️🥇🥇

A beautiful, gracious woman with a breathtaking voice................with Victor Borge...........brilliant in his own right! Thank you for posting.

Great singer,magnificent.

Fantastic professionalism. The ability to for these two consummate musicians to interact in a jovial play while performing sophisticated music demonstrates their competence, personality and good heartedness. It was a joy to find this on KZread and see how many others also love the experience thank you.

Man I'm imagining this guy would've been a Monster pianist if he was completely a musician only. Yet, he's legendary thanks to combining music with comedy!! And hats off to the singer who has a honey-sweet voice alongwith the composure to maintain it in the hilarious conditions

she's amazing....and we know how good victor was

What a beautiful voice she has...!!!!!

What a gorgeous voice.

Wow, what a singer, they are perfect together, she's wonderful. he was a freakin' genius.

Omg I love him so much..... I kick myself for not going to see him live.... Genius MASTER of humor and piano

Marilyn Mulvey had the voice of an Angel - fantastic ❤! The combination of this great female Opera Singer with Victor Borge was perfect and a great pleasure to every audience ❤❤

It was always a good time watching Victor Borge perform. A lot of the time singers performing with him did not know that he was going to these things while they sang.

The greatest Danish comedian, and he could play piano as well, i always lol when they show he performs on TV Rip Mr Borge

Lovely and professional singer ! Never distracted by Sir Borge's genius and comic accompaniment.

What an act! Priceless! Amazing performance by two Masters.

Amazing singing there Marilyn, really perfect high notes.

😃 Ah! The "Great Dane," himself! I had the good fortune to see this pair together, in Chicago. It was a wonderful show. He was such a cut-up! 😆

Absolutely brilliant!!!

I think so too

Marilyn's voice is superb, exquisite, divine! Does anybody know where I can find more about this brilliant soprano coloratura?

So love this. Both of them. Victor was my dads my dads favourite. Belly laughing with tears rolling down his cheeks.

Ms. Mulvey, spectacular! It also demonstrates the respect that artists of her caliber had for Mr. Borge that they would perform with him such demanding works. When I was in high school my mother (Northwestern Univ. honors music education and piano major), designed a comic solo piano routine with me to perform in an annual school fund raiser. Fun!

Every time she looks at him, she starts laughing 😂

Damm! Dude was a genius. A true beast! I loved watching him when I was a kid on PBS.

Legend is marvelling at her singing in such notes No matter he was joking That was his style

RIP Mr. Borge. Thanks for all your laughs and amazing piano playing. By the way. The opera singer was pretty spectacular as well.

My dearly departed mom used to love seeing Victor Borges act by way of PBS back in the 1970s

jeeze louise... that woman can sing !...

I remember watching him as a child and looked forward to every note and piece of skullduggery he pulled. Maestro.

Such an amazing voice and talent. And such a really good sport to do with with VB.

I am so very thankful for these videos so we can continue to watch, enjoy, laugh at, and be in awe of Victor Borge, long after he has been gone. I introduced my son to his talent and humor when my son was in elementary school. He is 28 years old today, and he still loves Victor Borge. We used to watch him together and laugh and laugh. What an amazing and talented man.

The great Victor 'B' and one of his classic performances with Marilyn, although I personally think the "hands off" version is even funnier ...... R.I.P Victor xxx

What a fabulous duo they were! Thanks for sharing this!

This still cracks me up every time.

What a great, great voice!

A bonafide classic!!! Memorable and irreplaceable. 🔥🤩🔥

Stunning talents and professionalism from both - a human joy to indulge!

How did Marilyn Mulvey not bust a gut laughing while they were doing this? I don't think I would've been able to start singing without laughing my head off.

i’d forgotten what an accomplished pianist,comedian Victor Borge was, no-one today captures what he had.

Such a genius. We need another like him right now.

Wonderful! This is a perfect example that comedy need not be filthy to be funny. Victor was such a fantastic musician and comic. Marilyn was amazing and beautiful.

I was fortunate to see him in person at Grummans Chinese theater in 1964

This one my very favorites!

what a beautiful performance of the 2 !

the hardest jobs ever, comedian and pianist

what an entertainer! soprano is amazing as well!

Incredible talent on display here.

What a voice.♥️

How can so much talent be crammed into two people?

The voice that girl has I'm in heaven I'm not dead. !! Weird beautiful although

She’s so amazingly talented!

I have several DVDs of Victor Borge's work and I love the man and his talent. This clip, though, I've never seen and I missed quite a bit of it because I was laughing so hard I was crying.

Carefully planned and rehearsed so that it looks improvised.

Saw Victor Borge in concert twice. Once in Denmark and in Danish and once in the states in English. Incredible.

Arguably the single most underrated funny man in the history of all entertainment!
