Knotts signed for 5 years to do the Griffith show and had 3 Emmys.... , and Griffith none.. A.G. was really the real life persona of "Face in The Crowd....." AG did not like to be overshadowed and Knotts contract was 'Not" extended. Knotts teaming with Conway and 3s Company kept him afloat and excellence....

@ridgerunner5772 I'm Lynette Palecek. You're wrong about Don Knotts. He quit "The Andy Griffith Show" because he wanted to spend more time with his son. His son was born in 1954 and doing the show caused him to not spend enough time with him.

I've always found Dean funnier and more enjoyable than Jerry for so many reasons - not the least of which being that Dean seemed to enjoy other people's humor so much, whereas Jerry seemingly always wanted to be the funniest person in the room.
@GiggleBlizzard
3 жыл бұрын
Also Dean relies more on his laid back charisma. All respect to Jerry but he is always playing a sort of over the top character who is easily dated while Dean is naturally that one cool guy who you may even know still. Dean got lucky and fell into the position of being typecasted as himself, and he was lucky enough to have a personality which is timelessly likable. I'm not saying Dean wasn't talented, but success is arguably more about being lucky to be the right person in the right place - and Dean has a way of being such a likable character that he's always the right person, and atleast from a retroperspective he's always been lucky enough to be put in the right place.

That as much of rehearsal he got for most of the skits. Music number with guest... he got 3 cassette each week. According to a interview I heard of his. He kept 1 in his car, one at home and one in his golf cart. He would sing with the tapes so he would know the songs. This is what make his show so much fun to watch was you never know when he was going to lose it completely. His producer/Director said sometime they would put things on the clue cards misspelled or something just to caught his reaction to it. Either way with this skit I sure Dean was caught off guard, him losing it was just the coolest easy going guy that ever lived.

To me, Don Knotts will always be the high strung, bumbling Mr Furley, cause that's when i grew up watching him..
