I think it's fair to say that as good as the cast of Hey Hey was, without John Blackman it would have failed. His style was truly innovative. The art of "interjection " as Red alluded to.

Absolutely beautiful Missy

I like the chick 🐣

A few “ safe and effective “ deaths here I think

Poor Red is shaking . I hope it’s nothing serious . Aging is horrible

Stunning song sung by the perfect performer - just beautiful Missy!!

Rip jesse 😢

Awful song and the singing was too intrusive for a memorial . Ron Barassi ?

Missy Higgins with the perfect song and voice for this presentation, so emotional, thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

We lost Cal? 😭 Why wasn’t her passing bigger news Australia wide??? Guess we in the sticks don’t get to hear what goes on in the big smoke sometimes. 😔 Cal was such a big part of the Australian comedy scene, never mind that she was a Kiwi. We loved her and the Aussie comedy scene will be poorer without her. 😢 That is a big, big shock on top of the other major personalities lost in the last 12 months. 😢

They miss one actress plays Bobbie Mitchell in prisoner

Wow d men in black in person

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Johnny Ruffo 😢

Jenenne Mapp(Saturday Disney host)!!!! 😥

Janenne Maoo(Saturday Disney host)!!!! 😥

Cal Wilson!!!! 😥

Missy is a great musician but between her and Adam Liaw and their comments about "average" people scratching a living doing podcasts etc during lockdown shows a part of who they really are. "You can't sell that... I'm trying to sell myself. I'm an artist."

A lot of big people in the video that we're lost including john Blackman jessie baird Peter Aanensen micheal parkinson las dayman james davern bob rogers ron barassi ian parmenter bill Granger bill hughes janet andrewartha brien Wenzel nathen Templeton johnny ruffo and Dr Rick Gordon.

Thank you for uploading this.

The famous strop hangover remedy the best part of the paul hogan show lol 😂😂😂😅😅😅

He was such a funny bugger. I don't think it's possible to replace someone like John.

Rest in Peace brother. Thanks for the Great Memories and Laughs and Lunches at AK

1982?

26sec is all Nine could spare for this tv legend? Shameful.

Pure genius " Nuff Said " R.I.P. 😢

The current generation being offended by a change in temperature, will prevent us having the gift of people like John. We need to cancel the cancel culture dumb fucks. They are the people who sat at the back of the classroom because they couldn't answer any questions. Now they choose to be offended just to get some attention. Long live John and Hey Hey! Go on you tube, ban me again for saying fuck! Then delete all your videos that say or show something worse! I got a warning for this

😢A lovely tribute to John Blackman, short, simple and sweet and just what he would have liked. I’m sure that he will be up there cracking jokes with Ernie Carroll and other TV stars like Bert, Don and Graham. Condolences to his family and The Hey Hey It’s Saturday cast/alumni.

Very funny and entertaining.

I’m sure he sang the Southern Cross Fosters Larger Ad in the 80’s.

There was Ernie and Bert on Sesame St and on Channel 9 lost Ernie (Sigley) and Bert (Newton), Prince Phillip, Dieter Brummer (Shane Parrish). Very sad.

Singer Irene Cara “What a feeling” and “Fame” and former Young Talent Time Member Bobby Driessen were sadly left out.

Nice Tribute to some very special stars.

What a talent, I can’t believe it, very good entertainment and Tom Petty will be proud. Pete Mitchell with John Farnham’s band. If Mitch can do it, I’m sure the other Pete, ie Peter Hitchener can sing. I loved it.

well, not rip off. ABC licenced it to them, and whereas ABC dropped it by like two years later nine network used the same slogan up UNTIL 2005 lmaoo

There will only be one John Blackman when he was born they broke the mould😢😢😢

Love the song and Ernie and Denise

my fav ident

I was a fan of his when he came to Britain in the late 50’s and it took him several records before he broke through over here. But what a breakthrough with that superb updating of an old standard ‘I Remember You’, which launched him to super stardom in the U.K. He made 4 number ones and made many fine recordings in his career often updating old songs and giving them a country treatment, a music incidentally he loved. Unfortunately, after he stopped recording with Norrie Paramor, the hits dried up and sadly he lost the ability to be able to sing. RIP Frank, I’ll always remember you.

0:45 - "We nail the champions on Nine"?

Aussie soaps were uk daytime soaps. We loved them.

I worked with Frank, summer season Jersey UK 1961. Fond memories. RIP.

I had the misfortune to know the vial tea trolly girl there Darrin Oakley

Passing on condolences to John’s family and his extended “family” at Hey Hey It’s Saturday. John made the show happen with his larger than life humour. It was classic Tv, when YTT sadly ended I watched Hey Hey and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for the memories John, reunited with Animal, Ernie (Carroll the man behind Ossie), and other TV legends Bert, Don and Graham.

Woke would have cancelled him today in 5 seconds. Humour is banned in Australia.

I used to watch HHIS from 9.30pm in the earlier days of the show on at night. I lived in the Newcastle suburb of Stockton and had the antenna to pick up Sydney stations, so I was able to watch the show through *Station TCN-Sydney* John Blackman was already doing the voice of Dickie Knee at the time, even before Red Symonds and Ian Meldrum came on the scene. Gavin Wood was the music critic for the show back then and the band's drummer was nicknamed "Animal". By the early 1990s, *Station NBN-Newcastle* had picked up the show when its timeslot was brought forward to 6.30pm(Station NBN-Newcastle's weekend news bulletin was still 30 minutes back then while the weekday bulletin was 1 hour, indeed, Station NBN-Newcastle *pioneered* the 1-hour bulletin in 1972, long before any metropolitan station had even thought of doing 1-hour bulletins) By the time HHIS appeared on Station NBN-Newcastle, Gavin Wood was gone, Ian Meldrum was in place and the "Red Faces" segment was more formalised. Chook-lotto was gone, replaced by Plucka-Duck, and the "Great Aussie Joke" with Shane Bourne and the late Maurie Fields was a regular segment. Saturday evening TV was great *BACK THEN!* but today it's *shithouse!*

I can’t believe it’s a shock and sudden since he had cancer for a long time . He had an amazing voice and was a lovely guy .

A GREAT LOSSJOHN WAS ONE FUNNY MAN. HE HAS BEEN A LOSS TO AUSTRALIAN TV CHEERS

RIP John comic genius
