>> no. you think about a career and especially being a woman in the entertainment business, you're lucky to get seven, eight years. we were going on how many? >> 48 years. and how grateful can i be. i know we are both grateful. we knew we'd do something together again. >> if i spent 14 hours in my sister, bottles would be thrown in my direction. >> believe me, bottles are thrown backstage. >> i have heard that about you. >> it would be at me. >> we do rub each other wrong every once in a while but that works for donny and marie on stage. everybody can relate who has a sibling, but there is something about the relationship that works on stage. >> it is almost unique, i would say, in show business, your relationship. a brother and sister doing what you have been doing for so long who still like each other. >> well, don't push it. >> there is a different relationship as we have matured. you know, definitely it's not 14 and 16 years old anymore. but there is a mutual respect. it's nice to be out there with somebody who they can tell if something's not working and they are there to cover each other. >> it just happened the other night. marie was feeling under the weather. i filled in for her. a couple weeks prior, just the reverse happened. i was feeling bad. she filled in and did more in the show. pulled it off. >> if it's your sister, you can completely trust each other. >> yes. i can emphatically say yes. >> in a way more than anybody else you work with. >> that's the thing about us. people say, what keeps you going? why are you still in the business after this many years? our father taught us a work ethic that if there is something worth doing it's worth doing well. when we started this thing we got so much ridicule and comments about oh, you are spending too much money, too many lights, the set, the orchestra, the dancers, the multi media. you're only going to be here six weeks. marie and i stuck to our guns. >> we did our own things for years. this is the first time we have worked together. >> for a long time. >> in a long, long time. >> it's almost like, i will use the analogy of getting a value meal. they get more than they paid for. we hear it every night. >> do you think you are not the last but the old school ethic of doing these kind of shows. when you see young performers today it seems to me they don't have that same ethic. >> you know, i feel very blessed that i got to grow up working with sammy davis, jr., dean martin, elvis presley. >> sinatra performing in the this theater. >> absolutely. >> to learn, watch, work with them. >> what did you learn from the greats?

>> that's true. i like it. >> we did qvc the other day. >> don't go into that. >> no, no. not even that. >> he left his fly down. >> he did. >> trying to sell records. >> i'll do anything to sell a record. >> just to continue what you were saysaying? >> what? >> learning from old school. we walk out, he grabs something somebody's selling and he models it. a producer cuts to a still shot of the product and i thought, boy, that is so not what i learned in television. we did to catch the live moments and see him modeling a dress. that's television. >> who would you liked to have -- today it's like, oh, it's not on the script. >> thank you for telling the world that i emodeled a dress. >> it's not on the script so they panic. >> who of all the greats in vegas would you have liked to see? >> we did. >> we did. >> you saw them all? >> we worked with them. >> i remember going to the hilton. >> amazing. >> you name a name and we'll tell you. >> sinatra. >> yes. >> sammy davis. >> yes. >> dean martin. >> elvis. >> lucille ball, john wayne. it's crazy. it's nuts. ethel merman. >> i went to see elvis's last show -- closing show nd i watched the king on stage. he could do no wrong. the next night i'm in his dressing room with my brothers getting ready and the door opens up. hi, everybody. i'm elvis presley. >> that's good. >> i want to say hi and good luck. >> that's my brother. >> i thought, how cool is that? the king of rock and roll walked in and he's a cool person. when you go off stage you're another person. it put it all in perspective. >> what else made those guys? >> they worked. >> i think they didn't look at it as being a celebrity. they looked at it as being an entertainer. every day, how do i get better? they love that audience. we love our audiences. we want them to leave feeling that, you know, it's an expensive ticket. not as expensive as some of them here, but they got their money's worth. they had an experience, something that brought them back to a memory whether it was way back at the donny and marie original shows or something they saw like "dancing with the stars" or whatever. they walk away feeling that they got to know us better. >> another thing, piers, sometimes i feel entertainers, young entertainers that jump into the business get -- >> we're young. >> oh, yeah. >> you both look young. i will get to that in a moment. how have you done this? >> so many people feel entitles. i'm on stage, you need to like me. there is an attitude, confidence on stage. they forget about getting out there and working and doing all those little gigs 366 days a year and going through the work, the motions. >> so looking at an audience making them feel as important as they are making you feel. >> absolutely. >> what they said that's crucial is i remember the first time i worked with milton burl. he came on, took a script, started slashing. no, this won't work. he worked to make that silly little three-minute sketch brilliant. it wasn't just, oh, that's okay. he worked with the writers. it was a constant effort by the people we got to work with to make it the best it could be even if it was a stupid sketch which it usually was on our show. >> do you remember what groucho marx did to you? >> dirty old man. >> pinching her butt the whole time. >> really? >> wasn't it groucho that said, you're only as old as the woman you feel. >> i love that. >> that's groucho. >> perfect. >> i would have been 14 1/2, no, 15. >> this was completely inappropriate. >> which would have been illegal. >> good old groucho. they don't make them like that anymore. what was john wayne like? >> stoic. >> tall. >> sweet. >> he talked like this. i'm going a lot of impressions tonight. >> you're good. >> don't encourage him. >> you could come on "america's got talent". >> maybe i'll get a gig. >> when we come back we're going to get into the nitty-gritty. you got married! >> thank you. >> not you. >> i got married 33 years ago. >> you just gotmarmried to your ex-husband. >> my first husband. >> unbelievable. we'll be right back. ♪ [ male announcer ] in 2011, at&t is at work, building up our wireless network all across america. we're adding new cell sites... increasing network capacity, and investing billions of dollars to improve your wireless network experience. from a single phone call to the most advanced data download, we're covering more people in more places than ever before in an effort to give you the best network possible. at&t. rethink possible. and today, we're re-inventing aspirin for pain relief. with new extra-strength bayer advanced aspirin. it has microparticles so it enters the bloodstream faster and rushes relief right to the site of your tough pain. ♪ in fact, it's clinically proven to relieve pain twice as fast. new bayer advanced aspirin. extra strength pain relief, twice as fast. if you're hesitant to join aarp because you think it makes you old, i have a message for you: get over it! call in. i'm standing by. ♪ get over it so, donny and marie, we're talking about vegas and it's all exciting. the most exciting thing to happen in vegas is you got married. >> that's the most exciting thing?
