I was an 80's kid and grew up watching all things TOM HANKS......he's like my security blanket of movies.
Me too. Good memories...🥲
Me too.
Bosom buddies was a good show check it out
Big was one of my favorite movies. Watching it as a kid, and wishing I could be an adult. Now as an adult, wishing I could be that kid again.
OMG….I so relate to that statement. Tom Hanks is my entire adult life….I love him. Not in a creepy stalker way, but he’s like my favorite uncle. The one guy that tells you dirty jokes, and also gives you a hug when you’ve been hurt. 😃
just hearing his voice at the end broke my heart
This guy is so good he made me cry over a damn volleyball.
Me too! My nephew kept saying, "It's just a volleyball!"
@@pennyhanks5303 it wasn't just a volleyball.
It was Wilson damn it!! 😭😭😂
The last time I watched Castaway, maybe a year ago, that scene didn’t make me cry so much as FULL-ON-HEAVING-BARKING-SOB.
I swear it gets more brutal every time.
(Not until I typed those words just now did it hit me - uhhh the movie didn’t change…so I guess that means *I* did… 🤔)
Even I was crying 😫😫

RIP Peter Scolari (September 12, 1955 - October 22, 2021), aged 66
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Great story about Peter Scolari told by his good friend Tom. He was an excellent actor and will be sorely missed. Tom almost burst into tears at the end...truly bosom buddies.
Look deeper...
@@rororobertson trolling America’s favorite actor says more about you then it does about him
@@rororobertson what the hell are you talking about?
@@rororobertson Emperor of all maladies a.k.a. cancer. He died 2 weeks ago from leukemia.
spike3333 .... RoRo believes a bunch of stupid and ridiculous conspiracy theories about Tom Hanks
I loved Bosom Buddies when I was a kid, and I loved Peter Scolari on Newhart, too. Watching Tom Hanks well up at the end made me lose it. Cancer truly does suck.
the emperor of all maladies pierced my heart. too many fine people have been lost to the willful dis-ease of cancer.
it didn’t use to be this way - I swear. When I was a kid, my parents friends didn’t all start dropping from Cancer the minute they hit fifty
F*ck cancer. Seriously.
It took my superhero & just truly epic human being Neil Peart recently as well. It still hurts.
F*ck cancer....
That is an excellent book and a superb PBS Ken Burns documentary on the history of cancer.
I'm one not who's quick to emotion, but when he referred to cancer as that I reached for a tissue.
Hello I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?
Not only is Tom one of the best at his craft, he is genuine and he can make you laugh and cry in the span of a minute. Peace be still Peter Scolari.
I just adore Tom Hanks! Also his wife Rita Wilson, they’re an awesome couple.
And, more importantly, Peace be with his family. Peter is at peace. Having had many of my family pass, it's his family that needs it at this point.
If he is such a good actor, how do we know that he is being sincere?.. maybe he is just just acting in Kimmel’s studio?
I worked at Paramount Studios when Bosom Buddies was being shot. On my lunch hours I liked watching the rehearsals of the sitcoms. I had a lot of shows to choose from, but ultimately I always chose watching Bosom Buddies because of the great cast. Tom gave me a nickname one day, Eddie Rabbit, after the country music star. Peter Scolari was just as talented as Hanks and their rapport with each other was genuine.
witnessed
May I ask, what was Hanks referring to when he called Stage 25 "cursed" (I forget if that's the actual word he used). Are you aware of stories there?
@@EmpyreanLightASMR Shows we’re cancelled on that stage more than other stages.
@@JohnGeorgeHill Ahhh thank you. That definitely would explain it lol
@@EmpyreanLightASMR da ff
Tom's energy here is contagious...
Like a virus that cripples the world economy...
I haven’t seen this side of him before. Excellent interview.
⚾🐄 😊. 🇧🇩🇦🇹
.like a whole different man
Nonse energy?
Him Choking up at the end really hit me hard. Tom Hanks is a national treasure
Tom is so amazing here, being himself and almost choking up at the end. A wonderfull human being he is
He is a wonderful and kind man. Also, very humble. Sigh..I have seen our country go the opposite because of you know who.
…he’s an actor. He’s paid millions to make you believe his fake emotions are real.
@@KP-go4rp: Agree. 💕
@@rdc501 I guess you mean real instead of fake.
If Tom cries I cry 😭
He was clearly overcome with emotion at the end over the loss of a dear friend. He seems like such a beautiful person.
That emotional response of Tom hit me like a brick wall. I didn’t expect that. Top notch Tom.
Actor.
@@notinterested8452 Cynical.
@@bamfordsteele555 I am correct. He's an actor.
This man has made us all smile for so very long .. Thank you Tom Hanks for a hundred great memories 💜
Way more than 100, for sure.
He's not RIP yet lol
@@jasonbeaudry489 no he’s dead
@@omarmedina6760 no, he's not
This guy is charismatic someone should put him in a movie.
Lol he's an up and comer.
@@bobbucks Exactly. I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees his potential.
I don't understand it James. Someone should give him a friggin' chance. He's 65!!! He won't live forever
Excellent actor of course, but I don't find him charismatic.
Tom Hanks has been in hundreds of movies. Are you a teenager?
I was lucky enough see a live taping of "Bosom Buddies" at Paramount Studios on Gower St. in Hollywood with a scene with Tom Hanks, Peter Scolari & Holland Taylor with my friends Boy Scout field trip. I must have been 8 or 9 years old. And as young as I was, I knew there was something special about Hanks. RIP Peter
Tom Hanks is a national treasure! He's always interesting, kind, funny, and entertaining. I would love to have him as a friend or neighbor.
I got to go to a taping of the Newhart show AFTER the one at the Inn. Newhart played a cartoonist. My buddy was a cast member. Peter Scolari came to see it and walked with us after the show, telling stories about working with Tom on Bosom Buddies on the backlot of Paramount.
I'm jealous.
@@maddymud So lucky you got to meet and talk with Peter Scolari! A pure talent!! It was beautiful how Tom Hanks paid tribute to him. 😭. RIP, my favorite crush - Peter Scolari. ❤️❤️❤️
Aw. He was keeping it together until the end. Love out to you Tom ❤
Tom Hanks is such a terrific storyteller. Such touching memories of Peter. I loved Bossum Buddies. I was ten when this show was on TV.
So was I. Cheers, friend.
Never heard of it but I'm going to hunt the episodes down
Gross
My god, I was 1. I’ll check it out though.
I was also 10 when Bosom Buddies was on and I loved it!
When Tom choked up at the end I choked up too. Damn man, hitting me with the real feelings out of nowhere.
Same here
I most certainly needed a few Kleenex.
Bosom Buddies is one of my fave sitcoms of all time. Peter and Tom's chemistry was unmatched! I still re-watch episodes and feel a warm fuzzy feeling. Its probably my fave role of Tom Hanks.
No doubt! Favorite sitcom!
This isn’t an interview, this is a great chat between friends.
Tom Hanks is an absolute treasure.
@@rororobertson your gross
I think you meant Greek. He’s Greek now you know. Because “We’re ALL in this together.”
We all got to stop looking for heroes in celebrities. People develop ethics from suffering & self-discipline, not getting their asses kissed 24/7...
@@drunkenoctopus6311 He's married to a Greek woman and now has DUAL citizenship. Big deal.
Liberals really are crazy, imagine idolizing a celebrity, huh.
Looking very forward to seeing "Finch". So very sorry about the loss of your good friend and fellow actor. May God comfort his family and friends during this very difficult time. God bless.
Yeah I'm with you but I'm just a bit tired of supporting too many streams. There's needs to be a better solution to pick what you really want to watch. 🤔😶
@@AwesomeBlackDude me too!
@@AwesomeBlackDude Cable bundles used to do that. But subpar services and higher rate rises...
Who died?
@@Anthony-vc2fd his co star Peter, you ain’t watch the video?
“That Thing You Do” as his intro song was greatest thing to me
Everyone is just in awe of Tom. His storytelling is legendary.
Bosom Buddies....God bless them both. Made a poor childhood easier and most definitely funnier. Thank you Mr. Hanks and Mr. Scolari. 🥺❤
The ‘Burbs was my childhood movie!!! Must’ve watched it a couple hundred times.
Whoa, Tom seems beyond animated in this interview. I guess he really missed live talk shows.
His description of space journey was very correct. He should have added that he has 'been' to space, too, according to Apollo.
He almost seemed manic - something was a bit off, but perhaps it was due to the loss of his friend. Trying too hard to stay upbeat??
He's a professional storyteller and there are some skills he's really good at. He was very professional the whole time, not natural. If you know those skills you will immediately notice and will not get charmed but if you don't know, you might be in awe.
Just for an example, he does full energy intro story lines so as to drown Jimmy, who was trying to cut him the first second. He succeeds, based on how the camera remains fixated on him which usually does not happen as they would like to get the show host in the camera but not in this case. You can rewind and see for how many seconds he gets the camera time and Jimmy remains off the camera.
I agree, following his lead really does feel like space must!
@AB “jackpot” implies some kind of luck or game of chance, the guys’ been working as an actor for over forty years
@@ecbrown6151 Think Forrest Gump, bro. It was a joke.
Mr. Tom Hanks has so much talent and so much class and social generosity.
What a perfect & beautiful description!!😊❤️
I like that term - social generosity - that’s exactly what it is!
i loved bosom buddies as a kid. true comedic magic when tom and peter were together. what a loving tribute from a wonderful person.
Tom Hanks....an integral part of our childhood hero😁
Disgusting
@@rororobertson shut up.
@@rororobertsonRoRo is a QQ cuckoo.
Tom Hanks is like everybody's favourite uncle.
I used to like him but his reactions to Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes kinda made me a bit sus of him
I couldn't agree more . Very very cool .

Cousin in my case👍🏼
@@patrickwalsh2361 yeah, that kid made a lot of us remember we're getting older. 😳
I loved how he was going over the Bosom Buddy camera direction with Jimmy and the director of Jimmy Kimmel Live actually used those directions on the show as he was saying them.
That is so cool!!! Thank you for pointing that out. I had to go back and watch.
Tom Hanks is the best storyteller. Thats what makes him stand out from all other actors, and puts him in a league of his own.
LOVE Tom Hank's!!! A natural actor...so gifted!!
🤢
@@rororobertson RoRo is really QQ. What a cultist creep.
Hello Susan I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?
If Tom Hanks ever wanted to just have a one man story telling show, OMG, that would be an awesome hit.
I agree.
He's entertaining, but he doesn't know the art of silence very well. Tiring. Love him as a comedic and dramatic actor.
@@bobbabai People who 'know the "art of silence"' usually don't have anything interesting to say. Tom is a blast!
Put him and Mark Hamill in the show together, and let them riff off of one another.
Watch Finch.
Tom hanks was on something special this night
No matter what the situation, Tom ALWAYS has something prepared for his talk show gigs. His Lettermans and Conans are classics of the genre. I could hear Tom getting choked up at the end talking about Peter Scolari, his true bosom buddy, who I’ve been watching as a Bishop in “Evil” on Paramount +, which I heartily recommend.
thank you Fred Grady for mentioning "Evil" w/ Peter Scolari...I have been a fan of that show from the beginning, and loved him as a Bishop...also was raised Catholic, so a lot of that show hit a raw nerve.
I just love Tom Hanks! What a guy! 💙
Merry Christmas 🎄⛄. How are you doing?
His energy levels are so high
Drugs
Cocaine
@@colin6603 being rich
Tom is very iconic and always boosts people around him. How can you not love this legend?
Awwww watching Hanx tear up and his voice break at the end over Peter Scolari made me cry. 🥺
Me, too! Tore me up when I read Peter Scolari passed - I can’t imagine what it did to Tom!
Ohhhhh yes 👏🏻
Tom Hanks, I been watching you since Bosom Buddies.
Thanks for all your great films and other things.
Glad you got all those Academy Awards and other things.
Yes, I really connected with ‘Cast Away’.
Such a funny clip of Kip and Henry! RIP Peter. Love you, Tom Hanks!
How are you doing Eva? Merry Christmas ☃️🎄
Hello I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it ?
I thought Hanks paid a great tribute to Peter Scolari. I loved how he became choked up at the end.
Tom should have his own talk show and just be there, talking about whatever comes to his brilliant mind. I would watch every single minute of it!
That's the most animated I've seen Tom Hanks in an interview forever.
coke will do that
@@Turbojonny5 bitter and poor you are. Jealous
He has ADHD.
I guess he's happy being out in the house for an interview
Hiding the pain of losing one of his first friends in the business, which almost showed at the end... :(
That was sweet, my heart goes out too him
I adore Tom Hanks, he always makes me laugh! However, this made me cry when he said his tearful, and genuinely heartfelt praises of his beloved friend Peter Scolari, I teared up as well.
Merry Christmas 🌲☃️. How are you doing?
Hello Kathy I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?
It is such a wonderful moment to see an actor like Tom Hanks - a true icon in my generation - share his passion and vibrance for Life and his craft!! This was the BEST interview I’ve seen in a LONG TIME even pre-pandemic. I absolutely adore and love all his work! Condolences 💐 also for the loss of his colleague…. what a treasure of an actor as well… rest in peace ☮️ Peter Scolari 🙏🏼❤️
Didn't knew Peter Scolari moved on. He seems like a very nice guy and kind. RIP
Pete he's had cancer for a couple of years but it got worse and many people was hoping he was going to pull through.
So many here have expressed so well how I feel; so nice of Jimmy accommodating Tom in showing a special memory shared with Peter, that particular scene from Bosom Buddies. Peter's passing too soon leaves us all a bit choked up. It was clear the fine man he was and oh so talented.
Hello Elizabeth I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?
Tom Hanks makes my heart happy. Every time I see his face, hear his voice.....all is well somehow.
I love Tom Hanks. Im looking forward to Finch. It broke my heart when he tested up giving props to his dear friend Peter.
RIP good sir. You are in great company, wherever you are. You were friends with Tom. And he loves you. That says A LOT.
Love Tom Hanks in anything he has ever done! Funny in the days of Bosom Buddies, Peter Scolari was my favorite. I didn't know Hanks much at that time. Going back and watching them again is sure fun as I appreciate Tom Hanks so much more than I did then.
Hello Tricia I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?
I remember watching Bosom Buddies and it was one of the funniest shows out there; not because of the premise, but because Tom & Peter made it funny. You could definitely feel the camaraderie & chemistry between them and know they were great friends. RIP Peter and thank you Tom & Jimmy for sharing that clip.
Tom Hanks seems so very happy. I am glad. Wonderful actor and unique voice.
I have never cried the way I cried while watching this film 😭😭😭😭😭😭.... God bless you all .. the actors, crew and everyone..💝
Same here. Just hit that this is going to be a reality someday 😭
Absolutely love Tom Hanks. What a genuine human being. We should all be so lucky.
Tom Hanks is the happy pill of humans... And Bosom Buddies, no matter if it wasn't Billy Joel singing, has the greatest... THE GREATEST SHOT opening credit sequence ever... Visual poetry...
Tommy Hanks channeling Robin Williams. Love him 😂
Broke my heart at the end though 😢
Loved how when Hanks talks about the director up in the booth calling camera direction at 13:05, the director up in the booth actually follows his camera directions!
KROQ Sports with Jimmy every morning on the drive to work in LA in the mid-to-late '90s was one of the highlights of my day.
Jimmy worked KROQ? didn’t know that, but did you know Elvira worked there too for a while?
I loved Bosom Buddies...hard to believe that was 40 years ago. Hanks and Scolari had a great chemistry! You can really feel the emotion in Tom's voice near the end. What a team.
What does bosom buddies mean? Is it sexual?
@@delmanglar No, it just means really close friends. The title used this as a play on words as the show was about two friends who pretended to be women.
Mr. Hanks is by far one of the nicest guys in the movies. I worked on a couple of projects with him. Always courteous and professional, admire him for so many reasons. 🙏✌
Hello Renee I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?
I adore Tom Hanks!
So glad David S. Pumpkins is still with us !
Yes 🙌 been thinking of that great nutty bit lately over Halloween 🎃 😄 thanks Hanks 💙 🌊 2 gloves 🧤 🧤 up!!
What a joy it was to listen to some of his Bosom Buddies stories…. RIP
"Bosom Buddies" was great. A must watch for my friends and me. While I'm sad that the brilliant Peter Scolari has left us, I'm glad that it's meant revisiting this great series.

If someone in the world still wonders "what is it with that guy Tom Hanks that everyone seems to like so much?", this interview sums it all up. Charisma, wit, humility and a huge heart.
Love you, Tom!
He's amazing. I don't have to see him pair up with someone in a film because he fills up the space perfectly by himself 😀
Just watch Castaway. 95% of the movie is just him on screen by himself. ( With the exception of " Wilson " the volleyball.
And this is clearly a good choice by whoever is directing.
Truest comment anywhere😊❤️
🤮
I was 10 when Bosom Buddies was on. I couldn’t get enough. God Bless you Peter Scolari
That they actually edited it so Hanks description of the directing matched the shots they used was phenomenal
Tom Hanks should be interviewed without time restriction. He has so much to tell and is truly funny!
The way he greeted everyone onstage including the cameraman
I loved Boosome Buddies. Tom and Peter really did have a molecular connection, and both masters of timing and "the glance". Very funny show.
Looking forward to seeing "Finch". You always get your Money's worth with a Tom Hanks film.
Somebody give him an Oscar just for this interview ...Purely Genius and such a humble man
@PETER Børløs I am surprised you couldn't notice his brilliant acting skills 😄
@@raghumurthy1 hes not acting dodo
But he wasn't acting.
He already has two Oscars, for actually acting.
It's the way he was explaining those stories with such energy .. 😎😎
@PETER Børløs That's right 👍🏻
Lol when Tom came out, the band started playing "That Thing You Do" by the Wonders, of which a Biopic was made that Starred Tom Hanks as the Manager. Then Tom Looked at the band and you can see him mouth the words "I See what you did" lol
He wrote and produced, and may have directed that movie, along with acting in it.
@@markstevens1729 It blows my mind that it seems like yesterday when he did that movie - 1996! Wow!!
Tom Hanks looked so adorable and handsome when he was a young actor. I went to see Big in theaters 5 times in 1988 because I had a crush on him. 😁
Henry was my all-time favorite character on Bosom Buddies. I loved watching those two together. Tom's genuine, emotional tribute to his dear friend brought me to tears. ❤️
I grew up watching Bosom Buddies, and it's really nice to see that their onscreen chemistry translated to an offscreen lifelong friendship as well. RIP Peter Scolari.
"Bosom Buddies" was so great in it's day. The entire cast was so good, as were the basic scripts and premise. Being 14 and never even having heard of 'Some Like it Hot', it seemed like a really cutting edge and topical premise at the time. It was one of the few shows my friends and I would go out of our way to watch, and watching Hanks become a 'superstar' in the coming years was always a pleasant call back to those days. Goodbye Peter!
I was a writer on the show for it's entire run (Except the pilot). I will always remember it with great fondness.
@@altonwright8871 Thank you for writing for them! I was 13/14 when the show was on. Peter was my biggest TV crush! I liked Tom Hanks, but LOVED Peter Scolari! My focus was on Peter in every scene. Made me cry seeing Tom talk about his good friend at the end of the interview. I just went through cancer and hearing that Peter passed from it, broke my heart! RIP - Peter Scolari! I hope people revisit his work and understand just how talented he was. When you think about it, going toe-to-toe with Tom Hanks’ talent shows what a genius Peter was. Thank you, Alton, for working on the show!
I was about 14 as well but I had already seen some like it hot for some reason. I remember thinking this is nothing like that really both brilliant in their own right but this was so good I just wanted to keep on going
@@altonwright8871 Wow really and I was just thinking that the writing was so good it was such a unique show so tired of everything being the same in cookie Cutter
The charming, Tom Hanks is back!
Tom Hanks is truly a national treasure. Thank you sir for entertaining all of us all of this time.
What kind of "coffee" did you give Tom. Remember he's a national treasure 🪙. He must be protected at all cost.!
I always watched Tom Hanks from childhood with some fascination because he had the same kind of energy as my own uncle did. As great as it was to hear all his stories from radio and movies, it did seem like he was trying very hard to not get emotional over the loss of Peter Scolari. It was very appropriate to leave the video of him in Busom Buddies until the end of the interview. When Tom Hanks choked up after it ended, I did too. The guy doesn't need a space mission. He needs a hug.
Yes, he does need a hug. It was devastating for him to lose his dear friend, Peter.
Hello Kimberly I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it ?
Tom Hanks, a legend of legend !!!! His movies 🎬 are always Amazing 👏 😍, i can't wait to watch this movie 😍
RIP Peter scolari
Tom Hanks is the best storyteller.
I randomly think about that episode of Bosom Buddies sometimes. For no reason it’ll pop into my head.
Were glad y'all had such chemistry...and fun....😊 He's up there making em laugh
OMG the last 3 seconds of this clip had me in tears to see Tom so truly sadden by the loss of his decades long friend Peter Scolari. I LOVED the show Bosom Buddies and watched it as a child growing up in the 1980's! Peter will be missed!

I'm glad to see we all come across a little nuts after a year and half of covid isolation.
I adored Bosom Buddies when I was growing up and always thought of Tom and Peter as a pair even in their own careers. This was a lovely tribute.
Love how Tom Hanks shades Bezos’ inane vanity project.
What a waste of money!
Hanks is a real space enthusiast. He knows the real deal when he sees one, and Blue Origin isn’t.
I guess Bill Shatner, being much older, felt like, "well, what else am I gonna do with all this money? Might as well spend some of it while I'm still alive!"
@@bowtoyoursensei554 Bill Shatner didn't pay for his ticket. He was listed as guest.
@@bowtoyoursensei554 listen to Shatner & Bezos interviews. He was given the ticket bc of Star trek fame & bc Bill was a golden opportunity for Jeffie to market it as positive!!!!
