If you weren't there, you can't understand fully. Channing was a star...is a star. I miss her.

One of my life's great memories is getting to see Carol Channing perform "Hello Dolly" on stage in Seattle in 1995. It was spectacular! Sadly, I couldn't get any of my friends to come with me so I went alone. And the theater wasn't sold out either. People had no idea what they missed. RIP Carol. 😢

“She did it all by herself. Just like I wanted her to.” LOL! Priceless.

He's lovely to look at 🥰

I saw Carol on stage as Dolly. She had broken her arm the week before, but there she was, on stage with her arm in a cast still being Dolly.

She was so Real and down to earth...I wish all stars were like she was.

Oh this is exactly what interviews should be! What a treat.

Excellent job of interviewing. He had done his homework, which really made this professional and fascinating. Well done.

That boy knows his stuff!

Love her , always positive, credible and naturally funny

Carol was such a class act

*She was so gracious and of course a TALENT AND A LEGEND!* ❤️💕

That was sweet!! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this interview. The two were wonderful with each other. Charlie & Carol. That could be a title for a new stage/screen musical. 😊

It would've been interesting to hear if she had ever seen The Matchmaker before Jerry turned it into Hello, Dolly. It was on Broadway and on screen in the 1940s-50s with Ruth Gordon and Shirley Booth, respectively.

What a gracious lady!

Channing is terrific!

She was a wonderful, wonderful woman - I miss her.

was on the front row of her one woman show in frisco. AMAZING

This is so great!

Carol was a PRO. RIP

Delightful!

She was a wonderful actress and her laugh reminds me of Phillis Diller’s.

"Healthy as a bedbug". First time I've heard that phrase. I must use it sometime.

Adore Carol. And could anyone else make "triple by-pass surgery for six hours" sound like such a joyful event?

"Disappointment Act" is funny because Carol is always a thrill!

Charlie's cute lol.

The “old timers” had class. Today’s celebs frequently act like spoiled children by comparison. Carol did not know Charles from Adam, yet she was so polite and generous with her answers. You can see she’s intelligent and gracious. Quite different from her public perception.

I saw her twice as Dolly in London. She was wonderful, she’s no Streisand but she’s CAROL. Also watch her at the Hollywood Bowl. Marvellous

And there was Charles Lowe, in the background, who ultimately made sure Carol could never recover from the cash-box caricature of Hello Dolly that was originally a brilliant performance. Charles Lowe ultimately made sure Carol could never be successful without her caricature. He could control the persona and generate the media attention based on that. She had talents so much more well trained and deeper than he ever let her show. Charles Lowe, with the many since "allegations" is a type of "Mama Rose" that hasn't been discussed or explored because of the time period in which it happened.

She’s adorable

In my mind I always remember her doing Mame and I’m like wait, did she though? lolol

Very nice interview.

Love her

WONDERFUL

I saw her in "Jerry's Girls" with Leslie Uggams and Andrea McArdle.

What a class act.

Carol was a star. I love her story of David Merrick. He was not an easygoing producer.

It's too bad she never did it again 😞

Charlie is a star like carol

Was this the GMCC event at Lincoln Center @1997?

I saw Carol Channing in the original "GENTLEMEN pREFER bLONDES" WHEN i WAS IN hIGH sCHOOL And I was sorry they picked Marilyn Monroe for the movie version . They changes the script so much that you wouldn't think it was the same story . But that's Hollywood for you .

Mr Gross is gorgeous

oh hey it's ryan stiles

You're in intensive care after a bi-pass and in serious danger. No one is eating a steak 2 hours later.

this is excruciating - on both sides

Was Carol a man ???

SHE WAS GONNA GET HIS NAME RIGHT, SO PRESENT

What a dear! Love her!!
