I was born in January 1964 , my mother was 29.old for a mom in those days.she loved loved piano as for the sound of the instrument, though she could not play any . This man was amongst her most favorite of all entertainers..I watch ever video I find of this man just because I know my mother would have.😊

There is nothing like this any longer. Borge was a true gentleman, composer and a comedian. He entertained millions with true style.

Only watch shows like this which I can view on KZfaq. Never tv any more. Can laugh and enjoy the music. Wonderful.😊

Waw what a show! It has made my day, very good Mr Borg you're a true entertainer that brings laughter, joy and healing.

Thank you for posting these Victor Borge routines. I grew up seeing him on variety shows and his humor has dated well - which is to say - not dated at all. He was a unique solo entertainer with a richer bag of tricks than almost anyone before or since. A one-man mix of rapid-fire and often self-effacing patter, visual gags that rival the Marx Bros, and of course, expert musicality. Mirth and music personified - a true legend.

Anyone who can make comedy from music is a genius. Victor was a one off, will never be matched

A genius. Thank you for your music and comedy.

❤❤ Great find. Thanks for sharing!

Exceptional, exquisite, entertaining, compelling Borge.

From reading all the comments I see that I'm not alone in my feelings about these wonderful shows. These were magical times and things were much more heartfelt and had real meaning. Sadly we can't go back, but very lucky that we can recall the aura of what those times were like.

More than 8 yrs but it GREAT- loves his piano music and comedy- hilarious!

So clever hilarious in 1958 ! I love him then and still do!😂🥰❤️

I love this one ever since I heard it played in the movie somewhere in time so beautiful and haunting thank you Mr borge. T

If only television programmes were like this today. A totally different and magical era. Thank you for this.

What a brilliantly talented funny man.

A brilliant musician , a great entertainer and a gentleman ! Viktor Borge was a genius at what he did !

Borge was brilliant, the young lad Rushkin was phenomenal. What a shame we don't get quality shows like this today.

Thanks for sharing this gem. Victor was awesome, but that boy was phenomenal! The whole show was CLASSY! Today's most shows are trashy..... So, I've stopped watching TV for over 7 years now.

Thank You for uploading this. Now I understand where Peter Schickele and the PDQ Bach idea comes from. I wouldn't be surprised if Peter Schickele watched Victor Borge's weekly show pretty religiously. This is really hilarious and he was really ahead of the times. Cheers from NYC!!!

Absolutely fantastic. And what an ending. It’s sad we don’t get tv like this anymore.

I am so glad that his performances were recorded. Future generations will be able to enjoy his brilliance.

Thanx so much, artfrob, for sharing this little treasure. Keep 'em coming, please. I used to watch Victor Borge with my mom and dad, every chance we got; on his show, and many others. We all loved him. Daddy's favorite routine was Inflated Arithmetic, and Mama and I loved Phonetic Punctuation. If anyone said 'Loo-TEN-ant', daddy would grin and say 'You mean Loo-ELEVEN-ant'. And mama and I would always end our questions with 'Keeresch pookt', drawing the curved line and period of the question mark in the air. I miss seeing Victor on tv. Such a fun and funny, multi-talented man. RIP mama, daddy, and Victor, and thanx, all, so so very much for the magic, music, and memories.

Times have changed.....and not for the better! They think that to be popular or famous you have to use vulgar and foul language. Victor Borge was unique, a great comedian and no foul language!

what a genius at work...I bet he wrote all his own material, a lot is adlib....I would love to have that Pontiac as well....this video is a gem, nothing on TV anymore, thankful for stuff like this to watch and relive...

The first is an old German song from the thirties that my mother in law used to sing but I don't remember the words...

Wish Victor Borge lived forever!

In heaven, with gratitude ❤

THIS is what real entertainment looks like.

What I like most in him is that the way he had to turn from his (very intelligent and funny) jokes to the deep feeling of the variation on Paganini. I'm sorry I was never able to see Mr Borges perform, I was too little in the middle of last century. P.S. The publicity was also a gem, I imagine the text was also his.

Brimming with humor and musical artistry. What a great moment in television enertainment.

Hmmm what a special very delicat sensitive man he was.

Part of the orchestra is a lady knitting, it's the best nonsequitur ever.

Love this man! We need more like him.

Thank you for a magical uploading.. Victor Borges was one of the musicians that teaches the young musician not to take them selves too seriously.

The last note he ever wrote

There was a time when television was educational, had morals, and fostered the (good) American (and world) values and traditions of family, neighborhood love, etc... By the late sixties, our television (and movies) got darker, more explicitly violent, destructive, while the nuclear family was coming apart - a lot of it motivated by advertising money, controversy, love of scandals (Phil, Renaldo, Springer, Lake, etc..., the "saucier", the better!). How sad for our future generations, Ciao, L

Love the ballet to Blue Serenade

the finale was great! Beautiful.

I hadn’t seen this before. Thanks.

Thank you indeed. I've really enjoyed it.

I love it when he says Auf Wiedersehen. So much.

He was wonderful!!! Great band.

Absolutely brilliant!Finesse...

He is one of my favorite musician.

I am always impressed by young musicians but to perform before a Victor Borge audiance like him, this boy is excellent

I'm kinda sad that I didn't get to enjoy the art that this man had to offer, so funny, entertaining and even educational.

My favourite Fabietto Un MY FAVOURITE PERFORMER THANK YOU VICTOR

Oh yes, Harry S. Borge, dropping bomb after bomb!

Thanks for posting. Great stuff.

This was so delightful. But it did make me go make a peanut butter sandwich! 🥪

MARVELlOUS!!!!!

Love Rachmaninoff in Pagannini- so beautiful!

I'll take one of those Pontiacs!

Charming man

I PLAYED that Schubert in recital once!!!...I know that theme.!

A true poet!

Legend! 🙏🏻

What a talent😅😅 😅

Eerie that today we actually can "meet" on a "satellite in space"

Makes me want to go out and buy a '58 Pontiac.

Magical. Wow

Loved it, Thanks for sharing.

Love it!!!

He Performed when I was growing up, Those were the days . . .

A genious could be funny. Stay healthy.

Brilliant!!

A Great Dane! But, allow me one comment: This episode does not appear to be lost!

Brilliant Borge as ever

‘Man , it’s gone’ is 50s slang for ‘Dude, it rocks.’ Or ‘It’s sick.’ Or ‘It’s cool.’ And stuff... Just in case you didn’t get the joke. Sad to say, much of this erudite musical humour would not connect with the audiences of subsequent decades. No wonder, as the years went on, that Borge effectively dumbed-down his act. All kudos to the kid, but so many child prodigies grow up to be merely talented adults among a host of other talented adults, with nothing ‘extra’ to give them an edge.

the finale is so beautiful!

I love how he subtlety takes the piss out of classical musician's who seem to need notes in front of them before they'd play anything

even the adverts were funny and thought out back then.

I had one of those big metal toy cars (5 minutes into the video). We also had those huge NYC snowstorms.

I believe the young pianist is his son. Later, his grandson toured with him as his page turner for one of his acts.

Always love the Chopin waltz routine. 22:46

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Victor Borge is the best Pianist of all time!

somewhere between Hoffnung and Spike Jones, at the same area

Saw him in concert when I was 20 something and was gobsmocked!

Comedy with a class.

That litle kid is in his 70 s. By now. Wonder if still Alive ??

You all want more people like Victor Borge.... did you know he is Danish ;)

Magic

the boy is quite insane too

Anyone heard his punctuation?

What has come of that Rushkin boy? He is incredible!

If somebody is having a yard sale, do you ever question how much they're selling the yard for? 😳😳😁

I'm in a orchestra, I do soap bubbles.

Before there was Top Gear!

Did he have peanut butter in his sandwich too?

The whole orchestra at the beginning is almost all MEN!. Didn't know that was the case back then.

SUPER!! Qui est ce tout jeune pianiste prodigieux ...son nom?qu est il devenu? Merci a vous. Cordialement et musicalement

How was it found?

Esse programa foi realizado em que.ano?

Question? How many politicians does it take to change a lightbulb? 🤔 Answer-All of them! Because half of them are voting on it, and the other half are vetoing it! 😬😬

He did his own arrangements?

Its why I threw my TV out.

The bubble guy was a little of pitch.

6:05 WOW! Imagine having that car in MINT condition to this day. It'd be worth a fortune!

Seriously? The little kid is 12 years old?

Prachtige ouderwetse humor zoals het niet meer bekend is !
