The Twilight Zone with special guest stars Telly Savalas and June Foray (1963)

This Was a Real Thing

Johnny Cool (1963)

Don't know how long it will last but the rare film Johnny Cool is currently online - watch it here - and it stars a bevy of showbizzy character types including Jim Backus, Joey Bishop, Mort Sahl, Henry Silva, Telly Savalas, Elisha Cook Jr and Sammy Davis Jr.

The Bob Hope Special with guest Telly Savalas (1976)

If you ever wondered what a vaudeville team consisting of Bob Hope and Telly Savalas would look like, well search no further. The legendary Greek golden throat is even exercised at the end.
And while we're at it, you've probably seen this before, but if not, Telly singing the "hit" single If off his album Telly. And Telly makes an appearance on the German television show Musik Laden in 1972:

RIP JOEY BISHOP 1918-2007

This is the trailer from an interesting movie called Johnny Cool from 1963. Turner Classic Movies has aired it twice this year. Keep your eyes open for it if they show it again. It has an AMAZING (and weird) cast. It's not available on VHS or DVD (or laserdisc or 8Track while we're at it). Joey Bishop plays a used car salesman from Nevada - and when I have the capacity to upload video from my own collection I promise to upload his main scene. Directed by William "Frankie and Annette Movies" Usher, the film stars:

Joey Bishop
Mort Sahl
Jim Backus
Henry Silva
Telly Savalas
Elisha Cook Jr.
Sammy Davis Jr.
