He started his career in vaudeville, and later made a successful transition to film, radio and television, when he formed the Burns and Allen duo with talented comedian and future wife, Gracie Allen. His arched eyebrow and his cigar smoking became his trademarks in an illustrious career that spanned over three-quarters of a century. With his passing at the age of 100 in 1996, George Burns solidified himself as one of the grand old men of American show business. This collector’s DVD set preserves his most memorable TV specials – never before available on DVD or VHS - and features many of the greatest names in entertainment.\nGeorge Burns Special (1976)\n1.

In nominally celebrating various milestones in the veteran comic's long career (there are commemorations of his 80th birthday, his 90th birthday, his 80 years in show biz, and his \"100th birthday\"--the last of which was taped in 1979, when he was actually a mere 83), these shows all rely on pretty much the same formula: Burns, with his big round glasses, toupee, and ever-present cigar, cracks a few jokes (some quite funny, many pretty stale), tells stories about his Vaudeville days, half-sings a few jaunty tunes, interacts with a\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000HC2LJO\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000HC2LJO.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:George Burns|Johnny Carson|Walter Matthau|Madeline Kahn|Roy Acuff|Larry Gatlin|Chita Rivera|Ann-Margret|Loretta Lynn|Minnie Pearl|Daryl Dragon|John Denver|Stan Harris|Bill Hobin|Fred S.
