Morgantown West Virginia
0:11
happy Sunday it's my second channel
0:13
daily Vlog channel it's the daily
0:16
woo
0:18
didn't get a lot of sleep last night in
0:19
fact last night we had a very hard time
0:21
trying to find a hotel around the
0:23
Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area after our
0:26
show we ended up driving for three or
0:29
four hours every Hotel anywhere around
0:32
Pittsburgh eastern Pittsburgh Southern
0:34
Pittsburgh all the way down and that
0:38
region was completely sold out there
0:40
having some sort of a PGA tournament and
0:43
a bike rally that ended up
0:46
hindering us trying to find a hotel so
0:48
it was very difficult we ended up
0:50
driving around last night for quite some
0:52
time probably three hours didn't check
0:55
into a hotel until about 4 a.m right
0:59
down there there's a little hotel that
1:00
was the only hotel we could find that
1:03
actually had room so we checked in at
1:06
4am and it's in West Virginia
1:09
of all places but it just so happens
1:11
that luck is on my side because I am on
1:15
the old stomping grounds of one of my
1:18
comedy Idols Mr Don Knotts was born
1:24
raised lived
1:27
right here
1:28
right here in West Virginia on these
1:31
streets the man the myth the legend one
1:35
of the funniest guys ever in the history
1:37
of Comedy
1:38
use of Rome around these streets
1:41
did I say it was the daily woo it's the
1:43
daily woo
1:49
this little town
1:49
here in West Virginia I gotta try to
1:51
cross the road there's quite a bit of
1:53
traffic though probably when old Don
1:55
Knotts was walking around probably was
1:57
not a lot of traffic like there is now
2:00
need to cross over the road because I
2:01
want to show you something fantastic
2:05
it was actually pretty interesting last
2:06
night as we were checking in a lot of
2:08
These Bars were emptying out so I posted
2:10
a video on my Facebook page
2:12
of a guy that was so insanely drunk he
2:15
looked like a zombie
2:17
from The Walking Dead you can see that
2:18
video over on
2:21
my Facebook page he was just kind of
2:23
Staggering down the road right down the
2:25
middle of the road it looked like
2:26
something out of Dawn of the Dead or The
2:29
Walking Dead
2:31
as he was walking right down there so
2:33
you go to my Facebook page slash the
2:35
daily woo you can see that video but I'm
2:37
not here to talk about zombies I'm here
2:39
to talk about Don Knotts who lived here
2:42
from a young age was born here
2:45
spent most of his young adult life here
2:47
until he went to New York City he
2:50
created a ventriloquist act went to New
2:53
York City it didn't do very well so he
2:55
kind of tucked his tail between his legs
2:57
gave up if he will and came back to his
3:00
hometown there's a story of when he was
3:02
doing the ventriloquist act that he
3:05
actually took the ventriloquist dummy
3:06
when he was on a boat I believe he was
3:08
in the Army and he cast it over the side
3:10
and he said I will never play second
3:13
fiddle I've ever played a straight man
3:15
to a chunk of wood he gave an interview
3:18
saying I'll never actually be the
3:20
straight man anymore and he turned to
3:22
Comedy and now we have a laundry list of
3:26
classic films and TV shows by Don Knotts
3:30
of course Three's Company The Andy
3:32
Griffith Show once he met Andy Griffith
3:34
he was in a show that ended up becoming
3:36
a movie with Andy Griffith called a Time
3:38
for Sergeants which ended up giving him
3:40
the role that became Barney Fife
3:45
in that classic TV show The Andy
3:47
Griffith Show so everything changed at
3:50
that point once he decided I'm going to
3:52
start doing comedy I'm not going to be a
3:53
straight man anymore and we all know him
3:55
as The Lovable bug eyed Mr Furley and
3:59
the gun toting guy
4:01
the crazy guy who was Andy Griffith's
4:05
sidekick
4:06
which is pretty awesome I'm really tired
4:09
I honestly should probably be getting
4:11
caffeine now we have to check out the
4:12
hotel very very quickly so I'm kind of
4:15
rushed I'm not thinking coherently but I
4:17
want to show you something very amazing
4:20
they actually have paid or they
4:22
supposedly they paid a little homage to
4:24
Don Knotts and they put a star right
4:27
here on the concrete under this theater
4:30
right here the Metropolitan theater
4:33
supposedly there was a Don Knott star
4:36
that they put here a few years ago in in
4:40
honor of the man himself but the thing
4:43
is check this out the star is not here
4:46
anymore look
4:47
the star is gone
4:56
the question is what happened to the
4:56
monument that was right there it was
4:58
laid flat it said Don Knotts and there
5:01
was the star don't believe me well check
5:03
it out there's a remnant of the star
5:06
look at that
5:08
can you see the star right there all
5:10
cracked
5:12
look at this it's a cracked star
5:14
a former homage to Mr Don Knotts look at
5:20
here's some rubble a little bit of
5:22
rubble from the star
5:24
a little bit more Rubble this was Don
5:27
Knott's star
5:29
that right there
5:31
was the star of Don Knotts who at one
5:34
time
5:35
walked to these streets
5:37
and had a star placed here
5:39
in memory of him and his accomplishments
5:42
and his work
5:44
a HomeTown hero
5:46
a West Virginia small Town's favorite
5:49
sun the star has either been moved
5:52
stolen or desecrated so I'd really like
5:55
to know do some research what do you
5:57
think happened to Don Knott's Hometown
6:01
star that's the question I did find some
6:04
information online that they've actually
6:06
created enough money they put a
6:08
fundraiser together to come up with the
6:10
money to create a statue of Don Knotts
6:13
himself they're going to place it
6:14
somewhere around here in this small town
6:17
not sure where that's going to be or
6:18
when it's going to take place so do you
6:20
think that maybe
6:22
since they're going to have a statue in
6:23
the future they've gotten rid of the
6:25
star that's very strange
6:28
and very unusual but that's Don not star
6:30
very cool I love Don Knotts The
6:33
Incredible Mr Limpet
6:35
was one of one of my favorite movies as
6:37
a kid as well as the Apple Dumpling Gang
6:40
hymn and Tim Conway together definitely
6:42
a very fantastic Duo and of course who
6:45
could forget Mr Furley I was definitely
6:48
more of a furly guy instead of a Roper
6:50
guy I did like Roper I did like furly
6:52
but together they were created
6:55
completely differently I think I liked
6:56
about Furley is his his character was
6:59
actually integrated better into the cast
7:02
and better into the show where the Roper
7:04
stuff was almost like two separate shows
7:06
I'm gonna stop rambling now Don Knotts
7:08
stomping ground right over here very
7:11
weird about that star
