Flashback Tuesday

A look back at the 1977 World Series between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers.  I was 10 years old and I loved the Yankees and Reggie Jackson while my dad was an old school Dodgers fan.  Needless to say it was fun at our house with the arguing and complaining.

Dean Martin and Johnny Carson

I found a couple of really fun clips of Dean Martin on the Tonight Show in the 1970s.  The first is from 1973 and the second is from 1977.  We see the well cultivated act of Dean the drunk and confused, but he was neither and still was brilliant at what he did, entertain.  These clips also show just how fast Johnny Carson was with his ad libs and when to sit back and enjoy the show himself.
