>> Marty: Why do I think I'm a catch?
Because at my age,
I'm still living and I'm still doing things.
>> Matt: Every time I tell someone
my grandpa's a comedian,
no one believes me.
>> Marty: I can't think of a bad thing
that happened on this date.
It was all fun for me.
I enjoyed every minute of it.
>> Marty: Hi, I'm Marty.
I am 78 years old.
I've been single for over 10 years.
>> Matt: My grandpa's single
and terrible at relationships.
>> Marty: Matt is 18.
He's my grandson.
We're as close as we've ever been,
which is not easy when your grandson is a teenager.
>> Matt: My grandpa is everything.
I love that guy.
I always make fun of him, but I love him to death.
>> Marty: We've been close
since he was a little tiny person.
And now I'm a little tiny person,
and we're still close.
He was the son I never had
because I was always crazy about him.
We played ball, we did all kinds of sports,
we went to basketball games.
I've been married three times,
and what I've learned is, I'm a wonderful boyfriend.
I married my first wife.
We were together for almost 14 years.
In the ’80s, I married my second wife.
We were married for a total of two-and-a-half years.
And then I met my third wife,
and we were married for close to 15 years.
And we were together for almost 20.
I have two daughters.
I love them very much.
>> Pamela: And then I have
a meeting at 4:30 at my house.
>> Marty: OK.
>> Pamela: I think this is the perfect
time for Marty to meet a love interest
because he's doing so well.
All of a sudden, he's having this second life,
and it would be great to share it with someone.
>> Marty: So I met Pamela
a little over four years ago.
From the moment I laid eyes on her,
I was crazy about her.
>> Matt: Be honest.
You have a crush on Pamela.
>> Marty: Of course.
>> Matt: Why don't you date her?
>> Marty: Because the crush is one way.
>> Pamela: Marty's attributes are so many.
There's no way I could list them all.
He cracks me up.
I've seen many of his stand-up shows.
I mean, I try not to miss him
because it makes me happy to see him perform.
>> Marty: Went to visit my mother
in the nursing home.
Here's the problem.
When you go to a nursing home and you look like me ...
They wouldn't let me out.
>> Matt: Every time I tell someone
my grandpa's a comedian and he's always out performing,
no one believes me. They don't understand it.
>> Marty: I was in the clothing business for almost 50 years.
And then I joined a stand-up comedy workshop,
and I've been doing stand-up comedy now for 13 years.
In case you're wondering
if there's anything good about being old,
there is one thing.
Now when I go to get my teeth cleaned,
I just drop them off.
>> Marty: My type of woman is ...
>> Pamela: Pretty, really pretty.
He loves pretty ladies.
>> Marty: Nice figure for the age.
I would like Brigitte Bardot,
but I don't know if she's still alive.
♪ music playing ♪
>> Matt: A kindhearted person,
a spirited person.
>> Pamela: He loves fashion, of course,
since he was in the fashion world.
So he loves to see people dress up and take care of themselves.
>> Marty: Someone with a vibrant personality.
>> Matt: Definitely needs to be independent,
but that's … he told me that.
>> Pamela: I think Marty's main deal-breaker with a woman
would be if she was bossy with him
or controlling in any way.
>> Marty: I do not want a controlling woman.
I do not want a controlling woman.
A woman who controls, I don't want.
>> Matt: Younger women,
I don't think are a good idea for him.
>> Marty: I've dated younger women,
I've married younger women, I'm tired of younger women.
I don't like too much silicone.
It could hurt me.
I don't want a smoker.
>> Pamela: I think Marty's grandson
is going to do a great job picking out a lady.
>> Marty: How much worse could he do for me
than I already did for myself?
>> Matt: A lot.
>> Marty: OK, and now we'll find out
what he really thinks of me.
[Potential Suitors, Round #1]
>> Matt: Thank you, Pamela, for joining me
and helping me find my grandpa someone.
>> Pamela: This will be fun.
>> Matt: Right. So let's start with the first one.
>> Pamela: OK.
>> Marilyn: I'm vivacious,
I'm a risk taker, I'm an adventurous person.
>> Pamela: Strong lady.
>> Matt: She is.
>> Pamela: I like it.
>> Matt: All right.
>> Pamela: Yeah, and she's right in the age group.
She's really smart.
This one I do like.
I think we should look at her video.
>> Cheryl: My name is Cheryl.
I am 63.
>> Matt: That's a little young.
>> Pamela: She's a little young for him.
I totally agree.
>> Sandra: A delightful diva.
I love who I am.
I am a certified life coach.
>> Matt: So, that's probably the best choice.
>> I am from California.
Originally Brooklyn, New York.
My friends say I'm the most pickiest woman around.
I go on, like ...
>> Matt: Yeah, no.
>> Pamela: No, I don't think so.
Even though it's New York, she's not right either.
>> Sheila: If you think,
Oh, I'm old, or I hear people say, I’m too old for that,
well that's you, not me. Let's go.
>> Matt: She's just intriguing.
I like her.
>> Pamela: Yeah.
She really is intriguing because she's funny.
>> Matt: I think these are some great options,
and I can't wait to interview them.
>> Pamela: We did good.
>> Matt: We did good.
Hopefully.
>> Matt: Hey, Pamela.
How are you?
I need your help to make this tough decision.
>> Pamela: Oh, OK.
>> Matt: I met with all three of the women.
The first woman is Sandra.
Never been married,
and that's one of the things she's looking for.
She wants to get married.
>> Sandra: I've even picked out my bridal dress.
♪ music playing ♪
>> Matt: It was extremely uncomfortable,
and I just can't see Grandpa getting married a fourth time.
I don't think he will do it.
>> Pamela: That's a definite no.
>> Matt: And then Marilyn, she's 79.
She was the only woman I talked to
who was around the actual age range I was looking for.
She was a very nice, spontaneous person,
which I think would mesh well with Grandpa.
>> Pamela: I saw her.
I thought she looked great for him.
She seemed pretty spunky.
>> Matt: She's very stuck on height.
>> Marilyn: He's got to be taller than me.
>> Matt: As you know,
Grandpa is only 5'2".
>> Pamela: Well, she’ll have to wear flats.
C’mon.
>> Matt: I loved Sheila.
She was the perfect energy for him.
One of the things I loved about Sheila
was she loves to cook.
And I know Grandpa loves to cook as well,
so I was wondering if you thought that would work out.
>> Sheila: People don't like to cook anymore.
I love to be able to cook.
>> Pamela: Well, if you like her,
I mean, if you felt there could be a rapport,
that's the main thing.
>> Matt: They were all wonderful choices.
>> Pamela: There's a lot for you to think about.
Three lovely ladies to choose from.
>> Matt: I love Sheila.
She was the perfect person.
>> Pamela: OK, Matt.
>> Marty: I am very excited about my date today.
I'm interested to find out what kind of woman
my grandson thinks I should be going out with.
Hey, Matt,
it’s Marty, Grandpa. You know who I am.
>> Matt: How are you?
>> Marty: I'm great.
I'm getting ready for the date.
You got any advice for this old person?
>> Matt: Have fun.
Don't ruin her evening.
Grandpa, since it's a blind date,
have you ever even been on one?
>> Marty: That's how I met your grandmother.
>> Matt: Whoa!
>> Marty: Yeah.
>> Matt: So far, 0 for 1.
You should pick up some flowers for your date.
I think that would be a good idea.
>> Marty: All right.
Thanks for your advice.
I love you.
I'll let you know how it works out.
>> Matt: Love you, too.
I hope it goes well.
>> Marty: Thanks so much.
>> Marty: I'm looking forward
to meeting my date and finding out who she is.
I decided to wear my favorite shirt,
my favorite jacket, my favorite hat.
And underneath all of that is my favorite me.

Hello.
>> Sheila: Hello.
>> Marty: Nice to meet you.
>> Sheila: You, too.
>> Marty: I had no idea
to expect. You're gorgeous.
>> Sheila: Oh, thank you so much.
>> Marty: You're quite welcome.
When Sheila walked in,
I thought, "Wow, she is too good to be true."
I was thinking, Matthew has great taste.
That's so cool,
because I couldn't wait to see who he decided for me.
Now I know he doesn't hate me.
>> Sheila: When I saw the flowers
and the way he said, "These are for you.”
It's been a long time since I've gotten some flowers,
and they've been genuinely given to me.

>> Marty: The fact that Matthew picked this date
and we went salsa dancing on the first date,
was just, it took it to another level.
It was fun because I even learned
a bit about how to do salsa,
which I've been wanting to do for years.
>> Instructor: You've got it!
>> Sheila: I see you, Marty.
>> Marty: I see you, too.
>> Sheila: I really enjoyed myself with Marty.
He's a character.
>> Instructor: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and forward.
Yes, that was it!
>> Sheila: I could see that, clearly, Marty was not a dancer.
That's not his forte,
but the fact that he was so willing
and he was trying and he wanted to do it
and was having fun dancing
makes all the difference in the world.
>> Marty: I can't think of a bad thing
that happened on this date.
It was all fun for me.
I enjoyed every minute of it.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Sheila: That's how you salsa.
>> Marty: My date went really well.
Sheila's a delightful person.
I had a good time with her.
I'd love to see her again.
>> Sheila: I had a blast.
You know what?
This is very unique
because I've never, ever had a first date like this.
Right now, I'd say, yeah.
I would go out to dinner with Marty again.
He's a comedian.
I'd like to see his show.
>> Marty: Since I didn't have any expectations,
I go into life with no expectations.

>> Marty: So, I was absolutely thrilled
that you were the date.

What can I say?
I had a wonderful time with Sheila.

You’re out here trying to impress.

my jokes need punching up?
I think I do pretty well.
I can't thank my grandson Matt enough
for setting this up.
It was a great experience.

There is nothing quite like seeing someone you love
finding someone new, and enjoyment in someone.
