What a true athlete. You have to be extremely good at this to make these "mistakes" seem genuine. I laughed so hard and was in awe of his talent at the same time.

God, I'm sore from just watching. They should do something like this in the Olympics' gymnastics competition. Grade on originality, difficulty and low injury count. The gold medal would go to the one who truly makes every move look like an accident or mistake.

Thats kinda amazing skills. Acting, and performing at the same time, with no mistakes really visible.

Fantastic. A little before my time. He acts so clumsy and falls down so often, yet he makes it look so real. Just amazing. Thanks for that snippet of a time gone by. p.s. Didn't know Sinatra had his own show.

Excellent. There is no other word I can use for this. Simply excellent. Everything in this routine was perfect. The fact that he could pull this off and still have enough breath to talk fast. This guy must have been one of the greatest athletes ever. He's funny, clever, and athletic. A perfect comedian through and through.

It was easy to entertain people back in the day. But what do you give someone who has everything? Someone who's seen it all? The best music that will ever be heard has been sung. The best stories have already been told more than once. We've been played in so many ways that what's old is new again means we forgot what we watched last year. Baseball, football, basketball, golf, soccer, and tennis are not getting better as much as they are getting old. Save us from ourselves, Larry!

Larry Griswald, (September 17, 1905 - August 24, 1996), What a fine acrobat, athlete, but perhaps more importantly one of the greatest clowns ever. In our world of plastic audience reaction tracks when you listen to this audience the difference is obvious.

Totally amazing stuff. Larry's comedic timing, skill and athleticism is second to none. When you hear the phrase "TV is the box they buried Vaudeville in" now you see why. Larry could have performed the same routines every night to different audiences for life. Bringing joy to each and everyone who saw him get better and better each time. Put him on tv and millions see him and want somthing new. After all that. Shame. The sooner we all stop vegetating in front if the box and get out to see
