RIP George Burns (January 20, 1896 - March 9, 1996), aged 100 You will always be remembered as a legend.

He died at the age of 100 what a man he kept his promise .

On another interview a couple years earlier... Carson: George, what do your doctors say about all your cigars? Burns: My doctors are all dead.

Johnny pulling George onto the stage… One legend helping another. Beautiful.

That is the definition of Legend. I've watched a bunch of the Burns and Allen Show and it was fantastic. So funny and so groundbreaking when it came on and their son was in it.

George singing that song at 95 years old is just incredible, and a good song, too.

George Burns was a sweetheart. He was always funny. Enjoyed him every time he was a guest on the shows in the 70's, 80's, 90's.

He was 95 years old. His mind was as sharp as someone 1/3 his age.

Always loved George, his jokes and songs - and his presence.

Jack Benny, George Burns and Gracie Allen are forever National Treasures.

We can never top this type of entertainment. It's just something special that the younger generation may never understand.

Just think this guy was born in the 1896 😱

Johnny was so enamored with George. He looks like a kid in a candy store when George comes out

A little melancholy to see this. George was still in pretty good shape at 95, but it wouldn't be long before he started failing, finally suffering a fall when he was about 99 from which he never really recovered. Johnny did in fact retire and was rarely seen after his last Tonight Show in 1992. Watch this and remember a "curtain call" of sorts. And be thankful you got to experience it.

Wille Nelson still going strong at 88 years old💪

George Burns was brilliant, loved him and Gracie. He said, you can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old. Thanks for your singing and great laughs. I 💘 you ❤ 😘

I loved the old songs he always sang

Wow. Vauldville. This Man outlived everyone. Gracie died in 1968 of a Heart Attack. He never let go of Gracie Allen. He never let go of her. All his life he never let go of her.

Could you imagine George Burns being president!?... That would be the best thing America ever saw...

Can't tell you how much I love this man and his talents. I'm only 51 and have been a fan for SO long. Loved the Burns & Allen Show on tv and have always really enjoyed listening to their old radio show. Used to listen to it as I went to sleep. When they did Oh! God - double magic, what with Burns and John Denver involved. Have most of his books. Lovely to read. There's something about this guy that brings such joy to my soul. Thanx for posting. Take care.

Hurray for that audience to make him feel so welcome

He was 95!!!!! WOWWWWWWWWWW

I remember when Milton Berle went on Carson back in the late 80s and told a joke about George Burns. He said George Burns having sex at his age is like trying to shoot pool with a rope!!!!!! Loved it.

I miss George Burns, along with Johnny and Ed. George was already 16 years older than Johnny lived to be when this aired, and still had another five years to go. The song he sang - “Honky Tonky Monkey Rag” - was published in 1911, and written and composed by Christopher M. Smith (1879-1949), an African-American composer and vaudeville performer who performed with Elmer Bowman and Jimmy Durante, and also wrote music for Bert Williams.

I love this! Thank you so much for sharing. Absolute delight to hear Burns sing. ((I always refer to them as my Uncle George and Aunt Gracie 😂 Love Gracie Allen too 💜))

No one better than Johnny!

That's TWO legends right there! Absolutely priceless!!

Absolute brilliance!

Legend!!!

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams..

As a kid back in the hills of southern West Virginia, I (we) listened to radio in those day, no TV available... On those cold snowy Winter evenings and nights there was the George Burns...Gracie Allen, our Miss Brooks and many other great shows to keep us entertained... Those were the "good old days" and nights. Now referred to as the "golden days of radio" and they surely were golden. There's something special and exciting about listening to those stories and sound effects, while building the picture in your mind... Just as TV brought something special, something special was also taken away.

George Burns was in a class by himself! He had a TV show with his wife Gracie Allen & she had most all the laughs! George Burns, fell 3 months short of his 100th birthday! He was another classic entertainer of the century, R.I.P. George Burns!

RIP Mr Burns

First of all IF I live to be 95 as Mr. Burns is in this interview I HOPE my faculties are as good as his! My gosh, the man is brilliant and never misses a beat! Here I am at 64 feeling , well never mind. lol What a great great man and entertainer he was and I'm glad I got to see him in some things before he passed away.

Totally True, as an Artist. No contest . Another Great Comedian. Miss Gracie. Great singer..😍💕🎶🇩🇰🇺🇸🌅

Thank you for helping us remember.

This was excellent!!! I miss them both.

Jesus... I've never smoked. If puffing that many cigars a day makes you that sharp, that young, that good-looking AND live to be 96, I'm starting today!

He was old enough to retire when Johnny started on the Tonight Show.

My god I could only wish to be that sharp and look that good at 96

I’m half his age but not nearly as sharp.

What an amazing guy! Thanks George...

They definitely do NOT make them like these 2 icons anymore, both Johnny and George, what a pleasure to see them both in this video clip, R.I.P to both, both class acts.

The 97-year-old comic had talked of playing the London Palladium when he reaches 100. But his manager, Irving Fein, said Caesars offered Burns a contract to play Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Jan. 20, 1996. This is from the Chicago Tribune 16/NOV/1993

I terribly miss Mr Burns and John Denver, especially from the movie Oh God. Johnny and Ed as well.

Evn as a kid, George & Gracie made me laff like hell at their sitcom!! Miss him & how he cracked up Benny!!

With his singing and his cigar he always reminded me of Willie The Lion Smith especially when the lion was singing nagasaki or aint misbehaving

I absolutely love Mr. Burns 🔥 😍 #Legendarrryyyy performer 🎈🎭🎰

I went back and watched Burns and Allen…Truly Funny Shows..and it Gracie was so damn smart and very quick on her feet about Comedy Timing. Gracie went too early in life.

Why are we celebrating George Burns, a man old enough to be his own father😂😂😂😂 - Red Buttons

George said in the mausoleum where Gracie is, her space is above his. This way she finally gets top billing. That man loved that woman until the day he died, even though she died so much longer before he did.

Perfection!

I adored George Burns.

George Burns was born with fabulous inherited genes.

George Burns was a legend!!

George Burns was one of the Greatest of All Time one of my personal favorite comedians

What's the name of the song Burns sings? I can't find the song anywhere else. There is another song called Monkey Rag, but this is different.

I met a monsignor that just turned 100.He was in New York when my mom and brother were dropped off at orphanage.The doctor asked him his secret for living so long.He replied 1 shot of good Brandy and 1 good cigar everyday.When I returned home I sent him the most expensive Brandy and a box of awesome cigars..

George Burns (registrado al nacer como Nathan Birnbaum; Nueva York, 20 de enero de 1896-Beverly Hills, California; 9 de marzo de 1996) fue un cómico y actor estadounidense. Su amplia carrera incluyó participaciones en teatro, cine, radio y televisión, incluidos algunos con su esposa, Gracie Allen. Sus rasgos más característicos durante sus casi 75 años de carrera fueron sus cejas arqueadas y el puro con el que siempre aparecía en escena. Pero más destacable fue su resurrección artística a una edad en la que la mayoría de las personas están retiradas o ya han fallecido. A partir de los 79 años, y hasta que falleció a los 100 años, George Burns conoció un nivel de fama que ya había perdido y que no conocía desde sus años en la radio. Incluso en los años 1990 apareció en un episodio de Los Simpson como hermano de C. M. Burns (el oso de Burns).

It's crazy he jokes/says he just signed a 5 year deal and he died 5 years later in 96'

"I wore gloves" The man could go blue and still keep it clean.

George singing is better than any rap song.

I miss real television, Carson was king

He was so great

A Gem

He’s like I’m not done lol .

⭐️❤️

Yes Mr commenting guy below 👇 Carson did lie to Georges question about retirement. Johnny did retire and basically never did any more TV appearances 😢

John William Carson 23 de octubre de 1925 23 de enero de 2005 98 años 79 años 19 años 🎤🎤🎭🎭⏱️⏱️📺📺🎥🎥🎥🎥📺📺⏱️⏱️🎭🎭🎤🎤

George and Johnny are true legends they had class. Two great entertainer's which we will never see the likes of men like them again

WOW He was 95

Just a class act. No cursing still very funny. I miss these type of comedians

Carson was the greatest.

Respect, revere, your elders ...unless their jerks

Excellence

My birthday was also in january

How truly sad that all the great entertainers are gone. These were the best of times.

This guy definitely met or knew former slaves and civil war veterans.

The ears record the years

How many different people by your house lot

i love goethe Burns

I wish Johnny had taken George's advice.

88 yrs in showbiz WTF lol

George Burns been smoking a cigar his whole life 😂

I smoked a few cigars when I was a young man and I inhaled. This is how I stopped smoking cigarettes because I would cough for three days. I don't think I will reach 96 years old and look like George Burns.

I don't remember the George Burns and Gracie Allen show

3 national treasures.

Sharper at 96 than Biden at 81

If he was alive today he wouldn't be able to handle not being able to smoke indoors

I'm Ruth Laverne Morris on grandson I don't want to touch either I don't think marriage is a piece of tail either

COLEY FOLEY SAYS: FUCKIN 95 YEARS OLD HERE... HAHAHA! (AND "JOHNNY" WAS 66... HAHAHA!) ON THIS "ANTENNA TV" CHANNEL RIGHT NOW.

Can we trade George Burns for Joe Biden??

He died 5 yrs after this interview

Sharp for 96

"fall in love with you do for a living "🤔

Burns was the best.

Sound is terrible.

Why is he blaming me for choosing Evo

O pracę nie starajcie się dla mnie bo ja pracowałam 37 lat i mam wypracowana emeryture

GEORGE BURNS SAID OH GOD U BET HE SAYING THAT NOW U NEVER MOCK GOD VE NOT DECEIVED GOD IS NOT MOCKED TURN TO JESUS EXCEPT YE REPENT YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH LUKE 13-3
