Schieder from "Day at a time",

Is that Landau on the right? Hollywood is an inside thing.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

4. Poston and Rickles...thank you. names weren't coming to me.

[Bev54]

6. Add to it

Don Knotts, Danny Kaye, George Burns - might come up with more names.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

8. Bob Newhart

[Bev54]

11. He already named Newhart

[Upthevibe]

33. bucolic_frolic........

At first I could name nine and then Tom Posten's name popped into my head so 10 for me.

[Elessar Zappa]

5. Most of these people were before my time but

I recognize Newhart, Knotts, and Diller.

[Paladin]

9. I saw Hackett do his nightclub routine on cable TV, years ago.

Absolutely filthy...and absolutely hilarious.

[Mr.Bill]

27. I saw him in Las Vegas in '66.

Very dirty and funny show. I suspect my dad slipped a little cash to the guy at the door of the showroom to get me in. You were supposed to be 18 to see that show and I was 13.

[Paladin]

39. Seems to me I saw his TV special sometime in the mid-70's.

And I was significantly older than 13, even back then.

[hedda_foil]

10. Sid Caesar is in the back row.

on edit: So are Danny Thomas and Milton Berle on the right.

[Bev54]

14. TY I could not come up with Sid's name

[IcyPeas]

30. Milton Berle? which one?

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Oh, Carl Reiner too /nt

[MOMFUDSKI]

13. Dom DeLouise, Reiner,

Sid Caesar, George Burns, Danny Thomas. Saw Buddy in Las Vegas years back and his show was excellent. Funny as hell and then sincerity that brought a tear to our eyes. Something about when he grew up to be tall enough to see into his father's eyes. A great entertainer. Thanks for the pic.

[Mr.Bill]

28. Don Rickles also used to break out the sincerity

at the end of his show. A lot of people didn't like his humor, but he was a decent human being.

[rurallib]

15. Arthur Godfrey next to Don Knotts, I think

Dom Deluise,Sid Caesar and Louie Nye middle back. Tom Poston(?), Danny Thomas, George Burns in the middle next to Angie Dickinson, I think that is John Astin next to Bob Newhart, Buddy Hackett sitting in the front middle.

Believe that is all I can get.

[lapfog_1]

19. yes, Tom Poston is in the back row.

[Walleye]

16. Louis Nye

[Different Drummer]

17. In addition to Buddy, I recognize the following.

Don Knotts
Dom DeLuise
Don Rickles
Tom Poston
George Burns
Danny Thomas
Phyllis Diller
Angie Dickinson
George Burns
Bob Newhart
Norm Crosby

Possibly Louis Nye and Red Buttons in there, as well.

[lapfog_1]

18. One is a relative of mine... so there is that.

I recognize at least 10. But I'm old... and while this may have been posted on 2/20/23, I think all the ones I recognize have been dead for quite some time now ( except for Bob Newhart who is now 93 )

[blm]

20. Al Martino and Joey Bishop, too.

[Different Drummer]

21. Who is that between Diller and Crosby? n/t

[Frasier Balzov]

23. I say this is a photoshop special.

But thank you for playing!

[Mr.Bill]

31. I don't think so. I read years ago that Hackett used to put on a breakfast

weekly or monthly for the comedy community. The idea was that a few young comedians would be invited to the fraternity. Of course, this was a big deal and a major step to "making it".

[Phoenix61]

37. I wondered what the occasion was to get them all together.

It wasn’t a funeral or an evening party.

[TexasBushwhacker]

24. ?s if I was unsure yes, I'm as old as dirt

Don Knotts
Bob Newhart
Norm Crosby
Anthony Newley?
Don Delouise
Buddy Hackett
Phyllis Diller
Sid Caeser
Louis Nye
Jerry Vale
Red Buttons
Angie Dickinson
Don Rickles
Tom Posten
George Burns
Betty Buckley?
Danny Thomas
Pat Harrington

[Mr.Bill]

29. I think Jerry Vale and Angie Dickinson

under Louis Nye and Don Rickles.

[Upthevibe]

32. IcyPeas............

I got 10. At fist it was nine and then one of the other names came to me.

I recognized more than that but couldn't remember their names.

I love these types of posts!

[nolabear]

35. Fourteen. Wonder where Carson was.

Phyllis Diller ain’t half bad.

[LudwigPastorius]

36. Johnny was a bit of a recluse.

...the opposite of his screen persona. He didn't like making small talk and didn't hang out at parties.

[nolabear]

38. I've heard that.

I really liked him. I put in a lot of late nights with a sick mother. He kept me going sometimes.
