Steve Allen Comedy Skit - Complete footage

[MikeFromHolland]

Just saw this Round Up skit of the Steve Allen show on the historic films stock footage channel. Can't remember ever seeing this footage in this quality before and for over 7 minutes. Have you? Here it is:

..

And there are more fragments from this show on this channel...

This is common footage that's been released many times over on various releases over the years in much better quality than this crappy quality upload(play full screen to see just how bad the quality is).

...but after all said and done one thing's for sure- Tumbleweed Presley is pissed for the embarrassment Steve put him through!

I can see why Tumbleweed Presley was pissed...

I didn't see this fragment this long and in this quality before (can you imagine how (deleted - see guideline #2) the clips were that I saw before ). Where can I find this ( and the rest of the show ) in better quality? Can someone advice, please?

Thanks for the post. I don't think I had ever seen the full clip before. Why was Elvis so pissed about the segment? It didn't seem that bad, wasn't skits like that the norm. during that TV period?

Elvis seems rather amused and "what the hell am I doing here" look on his face.

He sure had.
