He literally tells that joke about the gangster having dinner with his mother in every interview lol 😂. Funny every time.

Happy 103rd birthday dear Judy! ❤

she's really beautiful here...

He sings and I watch Judy. Her whole attitude full of nostalgia and admiration is really heartwarming.. Fabulous Judy❤..
Sweet and funny "Tea for Two" segment. .. 💜🌿

I'm older and a person could weep watching these two Super Stars talk and GJ sing!   Look at Judy when he is singing---clearly she cares deeply for him!  AND her Laugh(!) SO sweet and wonderful.  Jessel was such a story teller!  I think the story must be true about him naming her or Judy wouldn't have so quickly followed him.  He was probably a pretty hard boiled entertainer but adores her.  Sounds as though they knew each other forever!  What a wonderful piece!

Originally telecast on December 15, 1963.

This exchange is priceless.

Jessel sings his signature song, and Judy's song is from Show Boat.

Jessel was an entertainer's entertainer.

I so wish CBS had stuck with her and renewed her show. She needed it and she looked so happy.

Judy always had a great appreciation of other performers. Shows itself here. She was very unselfish.

Judy’s few bar of ‘My Bill’ are enchanting. It is so sad that she did not record this song in full as a mature woman. MGM had originally pencilled her in for the part of Julie in their planned film of Showboat ( ultimately made in 1951, after she had left MGM). One can only imagine the stunning performance that she could have given.

This is so sweet.

She is lovely in this segment. Watch how she admires him.

this brought me such JOY thank you for posting

RIP Judy💗

Judy looks great here.

Lovely.

I wish i could've lived in this time. Im 24yo and just got a 1963 Mercury. I think it's an M100. It needs some work, but it's a way more beautiful vehicle than anything today. And my grandpa was the original owner. Im the second. He bought it new in 1963-1964 for about $7000CAD. In the deal, I also got a 1953 f350, it's not as sentimental, but damn, she's a beaut.

Love this
