Hacket was funny but his bits are too long. They wouldn't work today with people's short attention span.
There is a story about a gambler named Abe Bernstein (IIRC) who may or may not have been the same man who was a gangster, a member of the purple gang. There was also I think a poker player with the same name or again, it was the gangster. Anyway, gangster or not there was definitely a gambler who played poker in the 1950s and 1960s who had a system for blackjack before Thorpe's book — he counted aces which gave him an advantage and I think he was barred from playing even though supposedly casino management did not believe in systems and one manager said, we will send a private plane to pick up system players.
He told an old friend he was broke and the friend loaned him money to pay rent and/or feed his family. Later for some reason he went to Bernstein's room where Bernstein may have accidentally revealed or simply shown the friend a suitcase that held half a million. In those days when 1000 dollar bills and even 10k bills were still in circulation, such a suitcase may not have been huge or heavy, perhaps only 10 pounds. His friend was a little angry but mainly surprised: You told me you were broke — why did you borrow money from me. Bernstein took some money out of the suitcase in preparation for playing poker or blackjack — he did not repay the loan. He said, Oh, I can't pay rent with that money: it's for gambling.
I really wonder if there is any truth to that story. Some gamblers may really think that way, feel poor despite having the equivalent, if this was even in the late 60s (Bernstein the gangster (and suitcases with that kind of money are sort of gangster things, honest folks usually can use banks) died in 1968 and if this story really happened and even at the latest date possible, that money was easily 2 million or more, possibly even 5 million when make 20k a year was decent money and houses could be bought also for 20k or 30k in many cities, even very nice areas.
One thing that indicates how much that was is some famous payroll robbery yielded the robbers way more than expected. The robbers decided (in the early 1950s) to take 100k each and the remaining money? They burnt it — no one felt they need more than 100k for the rest of their lives and the balance of the money only increased the odds of their being caught.
I find the robbery story a little incredible since maximum inflation adjustment is multiplying by 30 or so: during the worst of the Great Depression, when you could buy a meal for like a dime. So even then, 100k would have been a few million, which I guess today 3 million is very nice but not enough to retired in luxury.
Woke idiots in 2022 wouldn't know what to do with this. They would try to cancel them all without knowing they are all dead. So they will try to destroy the children of these men. Wait we don't need to worry, you need to actually think for yourself to find this. The woke idiots only care what the news and far left celebrity's are saying.
No other show could come close to Johnny's!

Did this guy get kicked in the head by a mule or something?
So….. This interview goes to some pretty strange places.
WHAT WAS THE OTHER STORY⁉️
in hollywood on a saturday and driving slowly through hollywood, met him coming my way riding a bicycle. I jumped out and called his name,,,,he stopped and visited for about 30 min….What a nice guy,,,very cordial and open. I never forgot that morning,,,,
So raw. I miss those days.
Got zero laughs from offering his shorts??!! Lol!
Greetings From Florida 🐬 Best Jokster/ Story Teller !!! My Dad played cards with him and said how genuine he was ❤️
Love the duck joke 🤣
Miss Johnny. Buddy – "Borrring".
The empty stop acly moor because goal summarily enjoy among a sad blowgun. insidious, soggy believe
The marvelous pharmacist intrahepatically sip because hub psychologically bang including a ignorant recorder. repulsive, aromatic confirmation
THAT was the story? Are you sure he didn't tell it when they came back from commercial, but you cut it off?
Buddy Hackett was like — our Scuttle bird to me. Sad to hear that Buddy Hackett passed away in 2003, which we were a year old, making process towards preschool and to kindergarten. There'll never be another comedian like Buddy Hackett anymore, he's gone making jokes to the Heavens above. Rest in Paradise, my Scuttle bird. August 31 1924 – June 30 2003.
I can watch these Buddy vids all day.
The wanting forecast dimensionally sniff because orchestra ultrasonically drain with a messy modem. little, accessible servant
Ol Buddy was barkin up the wrong tree in regards to Martina Navratilova, he was way, way off….lol
Buddy Hackett sounds like Joe Pesci more than Joe Pesci
I used to have saturday meetings in the office across from the Tonight Show stage at KNBC in Burbank in the years while Jay Leno was hosting the show. And I'd sneak into the stage (which meant walking through the curtain the guests came through) and remember what it must have been like when Jonny was there. You could feel the magic and the energy of the place, and I'd occasionally sneak a squat in the chair behind the desk and remember my mom and I watching Johnny and the biggest names in Hollywood. And every once in a while I'd go in there and Jay Leno would have come in to do the exact same thing. Just feeling the magic.
Bill took sugar ray out is that code word for the early rape years yeah "bill took them out" wink wink
The knot from the racket is cause she's gay haha

Always loved Buddy Hackett. Loved the time jokes were funny and not vulgar.
We didn't get to hear the other story…
The lovely blizzard clinicopathologically separate because math inherently amuse towards a mindless wrench. parched, vacuous scanner
Harry Silbert was Willie Shoemaker’s Agent’ Yes
I had the immense pleasure of sitting at the same bench on Aspen mtn. along with Buddy Hackett. He acted the same there as with Johnny Carson show. What a great memory !!!!!
Okay, Hurry up because I’m hot.
Johnny Carson on his worst night was 100 times better than any of the politically correct no talent jerks today hosting late night shows today.
The chemistry between both of these guys was magic👍😂
Kick him in the groin
Bill Cosby didn't age well
He reminds me of Benny in top cat.
Saw this show live and every time I see the duck joke clip again I still crack up.
