  • 0:01 - 0:04
    You know Sammy Davis is always singing
  • 0:04 - 0:07
    "What kind of fool am I?"
  • 0:07 - 0:15
    I'll tell you what kind of fool Sammy is! He asked me to invite Don Rickles here tonight!
  • 0:15 - 0:22
    Sammy you asked for him, and you got him!
  • 0:22 - 0:30
    Ladies and gentlemen, here's the man whose sense of humour is as twisted as Karl Malden's nose!
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    Mr.Don Rickles!
  • 0:42 - 0:47
    I wish you wouldn't touch me Sammy! You people rust!
  • 0:47 - 0:52
    It's a...it's a wonderful treat to be able to...this wonderful black man...
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    Sam I kid you! We know each other a lot of years, really! And I love the black people!
  • 0:55 - 1:01
    We need you people! I swear! Because no Jew's going to make up a train!
  • 1:04 - 1:09
    My kid, Sammy! You're a black man! Now, took a guess!
  • 1:09 - 1:13
    But I think...
  • 1:13 - 1:17
    you ain't black, you fell into a bucket of M&Ms, I'll tell you that!
  • 1:20 - 1:25
    You and my good friend Freddie Prinze, he's your buddy...and we need the Puerto Rican people!
  • 1:25 - 1:30
    I quote the greats...The greats!The words of a great Puerto Rican, Manuel Cortes, who said to me in New York:
  • 1:30 - 1:34
    "Do you want a coffee?"
  • 1:42 - 1:47
    Look at this! The Puerto Rican and the coloured guy are making plans:" We'll rule the Jew!"
  • 1:53 - 1:59
    Now! I kid though! Look at this wonderful day list! Frank Gorshin whose whole life was Burt Lancaster!
  • 1:59 - 1:59
    Joey Bishop who passed away and wasn't told about it!
  • 1:59 - 1:59
    Wilt Chamberlain, I say from the bottom of my heart! You can move into my neighbourhood anytime you want!
  • 2:03 -
    "Watch out!" Imagine this guy? Standing in front of the..."Hey, hey, hey! Anybody eat those peas? I'll eat them!Eat them pea! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

  • Not Synced
    Now! Now! You gotta know Dean! I'll make you feel at home! Youngstown, Ohio, right?

  • Not Synced
    Now!You can borrow my idol since I'm a kid but now Milton (Berle) I say this from the bottom of my heart:
  • Not Synced
    Show business and your life, thyself be thee with your new book; love thee nor byself Milton!
  • Not Synced
    He's old, he understands!
  • Not Synced
    I've based my whole humour..I'm laughing at bigotry, I'm laughing at Wilt Chamberlain,
  • Not Synced
    "Ha, ha, ha!" but if you don't laugh back, it's not funny!
  • Not Synced
    I laugh at the blacks, the whites, the purples....mostly the blacks!
  • Not Synced
    Remember the words of George Foreman who said after the Muhammad Ali fight: " Was that down?"
  • Not Synced
    'd pass that Sam? To the black people! Remember the words of a great niggro, Johnson Johns,
  • Not Synced
    who said in Biloxi, Mississippi on a Saturday night:
  • Not Synced
    "If the white man and the niggro can't walk in harmony, the people know that the white folk and in harmony with love..."
  • Not Synced
    (shrugging his shoulders)
  • Not Synced
    (laughters)
  • Not Synced
    Man is now in State Hospital.
  • Not Synced
    We laugh! Why do we laugh? Black and whites...
  • Not Synced
    (Dean Martin): ..because we must laugh!
  • Not Synced
    That's right! Look who became the priest!
  • Not Synced
    No, you're a Catholic and I'm a Jew and Sammy, you are black...I'm sorry!
  • Not Synced
    Remember the words of a great niggro - I say that honestly! - "All peoples are alike!".
  • Not Synced
    You live in my neighbourhood, I live in yours! Right, Sam?
  • Not Synced
    (Sammy Davis Jr.): Right!
  • Not Synced
    Are you crazy??
  • Not Synced
    That doesn't matter! It's what is in your heart! Right Sam?
  • Not Synced
    Be proud! Love! We kiss, we hug!
  • Not Synced
    Eh...Any black on my lips?
  • Not Synced
    (Dean Martin): When Sammy met his wife, Altovise, she was a struggling young dancer
  • Not Synced

  • Not Synced
    Ladies and gentleman
  • Not Synced
    here's a surprise for our "Man of the Hour"...
  • Not Synced
    I'd like to bring on Sammy's lovely wife, Altavise Davis!
  • Not Synced
    I've heard almost every word that you people on the day list said about my old man, and all I can say is
  • Not Synced
    "Right on!"
  • Not Synced
    You can all kid Sammy but I'll have you know that he is personally creating jobs for a lot of people
  • Not Synced
    nobody else would hire.
  • Not Synced
    His tailors!
  • Not Synced

  • Not Synced
    Mr. Dean Martin!
  • Not Synced
    I mean it! I mean that!
  • Not Synced
    One of the great joys of being forty-five years in this business is to have people who love you
  • Not Synced
    make fun of you! That is one of the great joys!!
  • Not Synced
    'Cause the day they don't make fun of you that means they don't give a damn about you!
  • Not Synced
    I thank you! That's it! Thank you very much!
  • Not Synced
    Mr. Sammy Davis Jr., ladies and gentlemen!!
