Clearly it's a young Lea DeLaria...

He was so weird. Clearly gay and closeted, but so unappealing.

Oh, God, another, "Lucy gets down with the kids" cringefest 😬

I guess trans has been around longer than I thought!

I think Justin Bieber was also born female.

Hey, OP, do I need to kick your ass, liked I threatened to do to that son-of-a-bitch Johnny Carson, who wouldn't stop running his mouth about me?!

Are you referring to Wayne, Lucie, or Lucy?

Or all three?

R7 I always loathed Jonny Carson. Never thought he was funny. I love Wayne Newton for standing up to that unfunny fucker.

Wayne Newton and Jimmy Osmond shared that creepy too much estrogen vibe.

by Anonymousreply 13February 18, 2023 5:13 PM

Wayne tells the Johnny Carson story differently here. Maybe by the time he talked to Larry King he realized a man slapping another man is kind of gay. πŸ‘‹

(I could only find this on Facebook. The story starts at 8:15.)

Did he take lessons to lower his voice, or did it deepen on its own? It's like he became a different person because of it.

Lucie and Wayne, pictured while young (with Lucille Ball), and pictured again fifty years later.

That was a fascinating video, R7.

Sounds like Johnny Carson was a Grade A ASSHOLE.

He had freckles in the r15 vid

Disagree. The first two years of "The Lucy Show" were fantastic in their use of physical comedy, such as the episodes about Lucy and Viv installing the shower, installing the TV aerial, and getting the coal delivery. Some of this was because of the writing, but it was just as much because Ball and Vance were so great at physical comedy.

Once Viv and the children left the show it went downhill quickly, and Lucy relied on tired shtick. But those first two years were great.

Wayne Newton has always made me nervous.

I was confused when I first heard "Danke Schoen" (while watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off) because of the line, "How you tore your dress, what a mess." It was perplexing that the unknown-to-me singer could get away with that, as it was such a daring thing for a woman to sing in a popular song.

I have a friend, going all the way back to high school, who became the wife of the President of a very well-known, national, insurance company, as well as a higher-up of the company herself. Around 15 years ago, she was in Las Vegas representing the company for some kind of semi-official proceeding for the City, and she had her very own photographer there (from the company, a guy I have also known for decades) to take the publicity photos. At the conclusion of the thing, in front of a pretty big audience, she was up on a stage and Wayne Newton was there to present her a gigantic bouquet of red roses. He went in to give her a kiss as he was presenting them, and attempted surreptitiously to stick his tongue in her ear. The photographer caught it in a photograph. Naturally, she said it was one of the most disgusting things she'd ever experienced.

Secretly intersex, like Ann Coulter and Julia Child.

He always was so odd-looking.

When he was young he looked like a eunuch, like he'd never gone through puberty.

^Are you suggesting, then, that he and K D Lang are actually the SAME PERSON?

O come on. Katie Laing was never weird looking like Wayne. Good queef.

R17- He looks totally Lesbian in that photo.

Desi Arnaz Jr was just a pampered rich πŸ€‘ kid who did not amount to a hill of beans.

Wow, that facebook segment is the only time I heard him say he 'smacked' Carson. In all his other responses he only threatened him with a beating.

Whatever he did the POS Carson stopped the jokes. Carson was a minimally-talented hateful bully who enjoyed destroying people's careers on an imagined slight. Cancel culture has always been a thing.

Wayne looked like he was Ann B Davis' twin until he grew that mustache. He went from looking like a dyke into looking like a low level pimp.

At first glance of the still/thumbnail, I thought it looked like Ann B. Davis in a tux.

by Anonymousreply 37February 23, 2023 9:21 PM

R35 I doubt he smacked Carson. He was just puffing himself up, as men tend to do.

I went through the tour of his LV house (at R27 and R28). It was surprisingly modest in size. He had some Margaret Keane (big eyes) paintings in his billiards room. I only saw the downstairs. You had to pay extra to see the upstairs and I didn't feel like paying extra.

You really think Lucy was getting down with the young folks singing Waiting on the Robert E Lee, R3? This is more the opposite and also just a disaster all around.

Agreed. If anything, KD is what Wayne would have looked like had he not botched up his face with plastic surgery.

That was a fun video with kid lang at r45. I had never seen it before.

Some of the guys in her band were really cute.

That was almost forty years ago!

The thing that caught my attention was how poorly they mime the banjo. Wayne atleast keeps the rhythm but both Lucys have zero timing.

Lucy Ball was such an unfunny asshole who tried too hard.

by Anonymousreply 50February 25, 2023 10:58 PM

Wayne was all about playing to the Lawrence Welk audience. He was authentic in that regard....

He would sell the shit out of it.

He had two out of the ball park hits, Red Roses and Danke Schoen....

and played Vegas for the next 50 years.

tickets still available......at popular prices!

What causes that wonky eye where one is super tiny and the other is mostly normal? Bill Hader has it, too. It makes them super fug.

Has Wayne ever owned the multiple racist tropes and white privilege exemplified by this song? I think not.

I wonder if he ever had the dreams of an everyday housewife.

I’m too distracted by Lucy playing air-banjo exactly like a Looney Tunes character to notice or care about Wayne’s androgyny.

r34 I did know kid that was born without a pituitary gland.. there was a similarity in appearance but he was on the soft side fatty side, voice was a little higher but his mannerisms still read male. Male nerd but male.

With Wayne, it's the more subtle movements that read as feminine rather than effeminate. I had to wonder if he was raised in a community of women - like a few indian communities do, where the children spend the majority of their childhood surrounded by str8 women - while most still still be no different than most guys, there are some completely healthy str8 guys that get read as gay because they've picked up too many feminine traits - voice, mannerisms, even down to the way they walk.

I was a kid when Wayne Newton was still in his girly phase, and whenever I heard his singing voice coming from the television, I assumed I was hearing Brenda Lee.
