I just love how this 90 year old comes out from behind the curtain standing tall (clearly over 6 feet), erect, shoulders square, no cane, not shuffling like an old man. If I'm blessed enough to live that long that's how I want to be.

I met Burt Mustin in 1964 in SanAntonio Texas, hotel THE EL TROPICANO I was 8 years old and my father introduced him. At the time I didn't know who he was, then he told me he does acting jobs on tv and was on leave it to Beaver and Andy Griffith show. Said later your dad will point me out to you on tv, and then you can remember who you talked to. He was a very nice man, really kind to us kids. So now I know I met him. Thanks Burt.

What a great guy! I swear he was on EVERY single TV show when I was a kid.

This guy was a riot you'll never ever see anyone like him again ever PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!

Born in 1884. Wow. He'd be like 135 now in 2019. Amazing. What a great character...RIP.

I remember the time that Johnny had Burt on the show and he asked him about what bothered him the most at his age. He said something about having to get up and answer the phone only to find that it's a salesman He said 'You know Johnny I had a guy call me yesterday and try to sell me a 25 year annuity contract. I said, Son at my age I don't even buy green bananas!"

if we all could be so good at 90......or even 80 for that matter

What a great man! Actors today should take a page out of Burt Mustins book. Humble, authentic, and enjoys making people laugh without cussing, that’s talent.

Burt Mustin was on almost every television show imaginable he was also a very modest man and preferred being a character actor. When asked for an autograph he would often sign "Burt Mustin 'Boy Actor."

I remember this guy. He always put me in a good mood by just seeing his face.

Burt Mustin was a master of acting. The quintessential old man.

Burt Mustin was such a class and good hearted guy. He projected a positive attitude, kindness, humility, decency, and humor. I liked how Doris Day stood up and greeted him. You could see the affection, respect, and love she had for Burt Mustin. Burt Mustin saw a lot in his life such as poverty, WWI, WWII, Great Depression, Turmoil in the 1960s, the Cold War, Vietnam and Korean War. He represented what was great about America. We could all learn from this mans life. I was four years old when this episode of the JC Show appeared in 1974. Sometimes we all need to take a step back and just be thankful for what we have. His memory be eternal.

He will always be Quigley to me. Burt Mustin appeared on all in the family as Mr. Quigley. He was also fireman Gus on leave it to beaver. He was one of the best character actors ever.

He was terrific. Still had a great singing voice at 90 years old

He was in better shape at 90 than 60-year-olds today in 2019 lol.

Bert Mustin was my favorite character actor of all time bar none, soft spoken, elegantly turned out and sharp as a tack at all times. I loved him as a child in just about every role he chose to play and still do. What an awesome man he was. I miss him to this day.

I remember him on a Brady Bunch episode. Bobby idolized Jesse James and this guy brought him back down to earth.

I love how Carson listens, doesn't butt in and genuinely loves the stories, and his guests. I can't stand Fallon or Letterman they talk too much. Burt was sharp and I love Doris Day, she gives him a standing ovation, class.

Always enjoyed Burt in any role he played. But Wow! That strong voice at 90! Something else.

Looks great, great mind, good posture, very smart. Surprised he didnt hit 100 years old

He got up to sing and he was a relatively young man all over again. Bless him...

Gus the fireman on Leave It To Beaver....Great character.....AWESOME T.V. series......

I had no idea Burt Mustin could sing! I knew he'd been a marvelous actor and was in a zillion tv shows by the time this aired in 1974. but just had no idea he could sing! Excellent video!

Thanks for sharing. I remember him as Judd in The Andy Griffith Show and Gus in Leave it to Beaver.

An amazing talent! Burt is missed. RIP Burt, Johnny and, now, Doris.

Saw Bert in the best Dragnet episode I have ever watched. What a lineup on Johnny's couch. Wow ~

Burt should give us all inspiration ! I was feeling old at 58, and I've gotta quit feeling sorry for myself, and look forward with New dreams and Anticipations in my life . Burt was awesome, and shows us, keep "living", keep going, until the Good Lord calls us home.

Lean and sharp as a tack: My new role model!

One of the greatest men who ever graced the television screen!!!!!!!

He's done so much in his career. One of the all time great character actors. I watch a lot of classic television and I see him often.

He is so sharp and focused even at age 90. I also note that the Tonight Show in those days was 90 minutes every night and the guests stuck around and just moved down the couch. Notice too that Rodney Dangerfield and Johnny were both puffing on a cigarette.

What a beautiful man. Such integrity and loving heart. God bless him and his beautiful wife, whom he loved so much. RIP Dear Angel.

Burt was an avid barbershop quartet admirer. When I met him in 1964 it was for an international Barbershop contest.

I liked him in Dragnet and All in the Family.

Burt was a treasure. I remember these appearances with Johnny in real time - 1975 I was halfway thru high school and watched Johnny every night. So good to see these old clips. R.I.P. to everyone on that stage.

This man could live forever and never change he was just marvelous !!!!!

Back in the 70's I used to sing Barbershop with him

That guy always reminded me of turtle with out his shell. A good wife is worth more than all the gold in Hollywood. Gee Johnny I’m glad to be here,, of course at my age I’m just darn glad to be anywhere.

Loved watching Doris and Burt in the background as the credits ran. Two old friends, and two most genuinely nice people, reconnecting and sharing a warm moment.

Look at 90% of the old shows on TV from the 1960's and Burt Mustin was on them at some point or another.

Pretty alert for 90 yrs old.

You got to love this guy, I always did for sure. And oh ya, Doris Day, what a doll and that rack wow!

So it was Bert Mustin who played the old guy in so many 70s TV shows (including a funny All in the Family segment). He was sharp as a tack at 90. What an inspiration!

Wow ! Double Wow !! Triple Wow !!! What a great joy & delight to watch ! The late great Mr Mustin was a true national treasure ! THANKS so much for uploading for us to enjoy ! CHEERS !! :-)

Burt Musten: unforgettable. Thank you for this.

I remember Burt from the Twilight Zone in the episode Night of the Meek with Art Carney. And in the Brady Bunch where he played a relative of Jessie James explaining to Bobby he wasn't a hero, he was a mean dirty killer. Burt was a great actor.

Easily one of my favorite character actors ever. His Greatest role was in the Dragnet Episode from 1969 called Homicide:DR-22 Season 3, Episode 14. Just a delightful guy and a great actor.

He was always one of my favorite actors. I miss seeing him.

Burt graduated from Pennsylvania Military College (PMC), now Widener University, in 1903. He remains one of our most beloved alumni. He passed away in 1977 at the age of 92. In his memory the theater in Widener’s Alumni Auditorium was named “Burt Mustin Theater.” That was quite an honor since another well known PMC alumnus was Cecil B. DeMille, one of Hollywood’s most famous movie producers.

Such a clear mind at 90! Would had loved to meet once. I was 8 years in 1974, I would not had cared back then but I remember him on all the TV shows.

Burt Mustin is really great on a couple of episodes of Dragnet too....

Wow. Doris Day, Rodney Dangerfield and old Burt Mustin.

One of the all time great character actors!! I've always fancied this man in his countless roles!

Wow, What an inspiration !! Young heart Young soul !! God bless Burt.

I remember this guy. He played in all sorts of shows. The Andy Griffith Show, Sanford and Son, and many others. Wow, he was 90 in 74. He would be 134 years old today.

Burt Mustin was a 'character' in many, many comedies during the '60s and '70s. I remember that he wanted to play a game of horseshoes with Fred Sanford when Lamont was trying to put Fred in the Nursing Home. Burt Mustin was part of the Golden Age of TV.

Three years after this appearance on January 28, 1977, Mustin died at Glendale Memorial Hospital in Glendale, California, less than two weeks before his 93rd birthday.

Bert was always thin and in good shape. Obviously helped him live a long, productive life. I remember him mostly as Gus in Leave It Beaver and in Jud in Andy Griffith.

Today is my birthday and I was sad that I was 58. Seeing Burt, I know I have nothing to complain about!

Sharp as a tack and an amazing storyteller. Love it!

This is Amazing, what a talent

Back when late night had class instead of the trash and politics that's shown every night.

What a sweet man he was always loved his sense of humor...RIP Burt!

Great guy from Pittsburgh, I was friends growing up with his grandson!

I grew up seeing Burt on many tv shows,...glad I did too !!!!!

When Burt did All in the Family, his comedic timing was spot on.

WATCHING HIM HERE IT CERTAINLY SEEMS AS IF HE COULD HAVE EASILY LIVED TO BE 100, BUT PASSED AWAY JUST 2-3 YEARS LATER.

He is absolutely amazing, such a great man. I loved him lots.

Who remembers when senior citizens looked like this?

Burt Mustin was an amazing ,gifted and talented person . He was ever present on tv and movies when I was a kid . God bless

How I miss the real late night talk shows!!

He makes 90 look good

Wow!, I have NEVER heard someone of that great age with such a strong excellent voice...he died a few years later...and such a Sharp mind...would that my mind would be so Sharp should I make it to 90...Wow

It doesn't seem like such an anomaly now, given that the likes of Kirk Douglas, Bob Hope, Tony Bennett and Doris Day all made it well past 90. But in Burt Mustin's prime, he was regarded as remarkable for longevity alone. It certainly didn't hurt that he was also one of the most gifted actors of all time, either. He is greatly, greatly missed.

I knew about Burt Mustin through an All in the Family episode which I recently saw, he was great there and a delight to hear in this Johnny Carson's show. Great TV times.

Love Bert! Loved him in anything he did.

He was about 14 years older than I am now and I can't remember that many words to a song or sing with that gusto.

Wow I loved this guy on Andy. So funny. Hope if I make it to 90 I’m the same way.

Delightful interview. Of course, Burt Mustin always delivered whenever he did any part. Listen to how fast he talks at 90 -- no mental issues with Burt. His only competition was another great old man with a long career -- Edward Everett Horton who was 2 years younger than Burt. I didn't mention Walter Brennan because he had a major career compared to Burt & Edward & won Academy Awards. He was also 10 years younger than these 2 character actors. (What's sad about this clip is that everyone in it has passed away).

Doris Day, heading towards 97 in April.

Very sharp witted and funny. 📺🎬📽️🎞️☺️😉

Remember Burt in "The Ghost And Mr. Chicken"? Loved when he handed Don Knotts the flashlight then shook his hand. Just musing.. God Bless you Mr. Mustin.

He sadly long gone but his talents will never be forgotten just missed

One of the greatest t.v. actors of all time he was marvelous !!!!!

A great actor. Loved seeing him on leave it to beaver as beavers friend gus and brady bunch as the guy whos father was killed by jesse james. One of the best actors.

I saw him on EVERYTHING lol...

On the Brady Bunch he played Mr. Collins, the biographer whose father was shot by Jesse James.

In one day, I watched an episode of Leave it to Beaver, Dragnet, Sanford & Son and All in the Family. All those episodes had Burt in them.

Wow. Just wow. Burt. What a classic American character. He was on Bewitched. This town of Hollywood/Burbank was so small back then. I'm so proud to be a tiny part of this industry.

My mothers Dad looked exactly like Burt. We used to kid Grandpa about being on TV.

Good lord. If I’m in half as good health and sound mind as he is at 90 I’ll be very happy.

Omg i grew up watching him..he was Adorable he was in a lot of different things ..so many . 🤩

Gus, the fireman.

Doris Day has now lived longer than Burt Mustin did, as he lived to be 92 and she'll be 97 soon.

Wow if he was still alive today he would be 135 in 2019.

Johnnys desk!!! i LOVE it! and i loved the nature backgrounds, the whole decour/vibe of his 70s sets. and that suit! stylin'!

Burt was cool! I remember first seeing him on "Leave It To Beaver".

Loved it when he used to talk to the Beaver. Great guy. I don't know where all the great folks have gone. But happy I saw so many when I was little. Amazing people. I've known them all my life. Loved this.

This guy was in everything. I swear he probably lived to be 200. He’s ALWAYS looked old. Seems like he was a really sweet guy too.

He played Goalie for Pennsylvania Military College; played goaltender for their ice hockey team in 1902.
