On March 29, 1978 the final episode of The Carol Burnett Show aired after a terrific run of 11 seasons. This clip shows the final nine minutes of this last broadcast--a heartfelt monologue. As expected, Carol went out with class.

This is the finale to Barbra's landmark farewell-to-New York concert filmed in 1967 in Central Park. After this performance it would be 15 years before she would perform another live concert.
Streisand's fear at this concert was of being assassinated by the PLO over her support of Israel.

Gary Cooper, as Lou Gehrig, delivering Hollywood's version of his famous 'lucky guy' farewell speech in the biopic Pride of the Yankees (1942). Pass the tissues.

The New York Yankees' played their final home game at Yankee Stadium on September 28, 2008. After the game (a 7-3 Yankee victory over Baltimore), Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter made a brief speech. Even this diehard Red Sox fan has to admit it was well done

Earlier I posted the clip of Bette Midler's touching farewell song to Johnny Carson on the last Tonight Show he hosted with guests (May 21, 1992). This is from earlier in that same show. Great stuff!

Legendary Bob Barker ended his 51-year television career in June 2007 with this episode of The Price Is Right. This is the last two minutes of the show. There were no tearful farewells from Bob, just a simple thank-you to his loyal viewers.

As videoholic showed us, nothing quite compares to those local television shows. In Miami in the 50's and 60's we had Charlie Baxter, a newscaster, who had fun playing ghoulish 'MT Graves' down in his dungeon every Saturday afternoon on WCKT Channel 7. The program began with the cell door rising up to the sounds of screeching and squeaking and a loud clank. In the background, eerie music played, and human screaming and shrieking could be heard. M.T. climbed out of the coffin to greet his viewers at the beginning of each program, and climbed back into it at the end, saying his greetings and farewells to his fans. My dad, who did painting for several TV stations back then, took me with him one Saturday and I got to sit in the audience. What a thrill that was! It just goes to show that it doesn't take much to entertain a kid.

Great tribute video to Lou Gehrig, my favorite ballplayer of all time. It begins with real footage of his famous farewell speech and cuts to action shots.
