No Celebrity death has hit me this hard..oh Tony, Tony. I feel like I have lost a close friend and I don't even know you. I just enjoy watching your adventure on tv and listen to your insights through your deep voice. I will sorely miss you. I don't know when I will get over that you are gone. May you rest in peace.
Also feel the same, good video by the way, sad that Tony ain't with us anymore...I would love to ask him whyyyyyyy????? He had everything going for him. (Sigh)
Asti Upiastirin it's been months and I'm still devastated. I watched The last episodes with a lump in my throat, bursting into tears every time he hid his teeth/smile. It is a moment of vulnerability that immediately comes to mind when he is mentioned. What a beautiful, beautiful soul. You were indeed beautiful in every way Anthony. You're always with me. You made me believe in myself in crisis, when you made me believe that no matter how I am or what I've gone through in 43 years, anything is possible and if I stay humble and genuine, success, whatever that means to me is achievable and even more. He made me start writing and composing again. I was in the nightmare of alcoholism, hopelessness, insecurity and suicidal behavior when I picked up Kitchen Confidential and another book and another book for a month until I had read them all. He never addressed what I was going through except the drug use then giving them up, but those books drew me in and inspired me like nothing I had read before. His writing left me thinking " I want to do THAT! , I want to be that!, I'm going to do that!" I've written a song I'll be putting up for free, called Chambourd Hotel. The title may seem a bit morbid, but I'm sure anyone who loves Anthony will get how uplifting it is, just like he was. Thank you, Anthony. If I ever become half as incredible as you were, I'll always make sure to acknowledge your gift to me, and everyone one else who got to experience your light.😪
Thank you so much for this. I don't give a damn when some celebrity dies who I've never met, but Bourdain was a true inspiration to me. The only time in my life I've cried when I heard someone died that I've never met.
I will never get over the loss of this man. If somebody this awesome, this cool, this self assured wound up losing his battle with his depression, what is the damn point of trying to fight mine? I spiraled for months after he left us. I'm here. I'm fighting. But Tony is always in the back of my mind. He's a lesson in the permanent solution to a temporary problem. He haunts me. He's got a small part of my heart forever. RIP Tony. Bourdain forever. Bless.
Tony maybe never knew how many people he would really affect with his suicide and the thing I hope you take away is that there will always be people who will miss you. Your comment is a year old but I hope you’re doing well and please don’t give up
One of things I miss dearly about Tony is his storytelling. You are THERE w/ him; he sets the scene and the tone so well. I am incredibly shy and self conscious (which Tony was too, he was just really well spoken so you could never tell). Tony was my hero. Still is. Tony - Thank you for making me brave. I love you.
Bourdain was a true artist, a genuine human being and uncommonly honest with everyone he was with. His programs never deviated from uncompromising decency and humanity for all the million miles he travelled. Without wanting to become one, he was an ambassador for the human race. RIP to a wonderful example of the best of people...
Such a huge loss, a rare, real, passionate and smart ambassador for the world. Nothing about him was inauthentic - always genuine, and connected to the people and cultures around us, and to what it means to be human, in the most humble and elevated ways at the same time. There is something strangely perfect about the band's closer, 'Not A Second Time' by The Beatles. We miss you Tony.
Letterman: 'It seems like a great wild exciting colorful life being a chef, being a cook. Working in restaurants and stuff'. The Great Bourdain: 'The Child's dream of running a pirate crew' ...
Mr. Bourdain seemed like a person that I have known personally for years yet i have never met him. His shows were one of my favorite programs. Parts unknown, Layover. RIP
I find it so bizarre to watch Bourdain to answer questions like a well prepared interview at his next job. That first interview with Letterman just felt like a guy that just hit the mainstream and knew he needed to capitalize. And he totally did. His charisma, sense of humor, and quick wit took charge and the prepared Q and A was easily overshadowed by his charm. Man, I miss Anthony. I've never had a crush or an infatuation with any celebrity, but Bourdain changed my life. I travel. And I travel often. All of it was inspired by Bourdain and it has been the most meaningful contribution to my life that ever will be! When he left us, I cried. And every time I was reminded of him, I broke apart. I couldn't watch his show for years. The No Reservations theme song plays on my iPod (guess I'm that old) and I stop to give thanks to the man that changed my life and broke my heart.
Jerry Seinfeld, Regis, Howard Stern, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Tina Fey, Bill Clinton, Tom Brokaw, The Obamas, Bill Murray, Chris Rock and let's not forget Warren Zevon. And I could go on!!!
Don, as usual, you are amazing. Thought of this and you this morning, and here it is. Thank you so much. RIP Anthony. You helped make foodies who ate better, of millions around the world.
I will miss him forever. The coolest, most extraordinary storyteller, traveler and uniter of countries ever. Open to everything and everyone. What a god damn loss!!!
These clips make me realize, sadly, we’ll never get an episode of “My Next Guest...” with Bourdain talking about his life, his depression, his happiness, etc etc. RIP, Anthony. Your death hit me harder than I thought it would. Up there wish Robin Williams and Chris Cornell.
I don't know if you will see this since you posted a year ago. But not 3 minutes ago I just found this. Thought many would enjoy it as much as I will!! It's him doing his full audiobook reading (as best I can tell! Such a soothing voice! ✌ Watch "Anthony Bourdain - A Cook's Tour (Audiobook, 2001)[FULL]" on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/YlNAtLlBE04/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this. I was a big fan. I really enjoyed his visits with Dave. He was a great writer. I got introduced to him when i read Kitchen Confidential and followed him from then on. Tragic!
Letterman asks the same 4-5 questions in 3 consecutive encounters, and Bourdain is cheerfully 3 strokes ahead of Dave 4 outta four times. Ep 3 is the best Sit Down comedy since Joan Rivers on Carson. Anthony Bourdain rest in peace.
Truly a citizen of the world who respected everyone everywhere. Now in this time of immigrant bashing, it's good to hear a white man speak up in their defense. I had read his book years ago, and just like in this interview, he called out the injustice of a two tiered restaurant business where the Hispanics worked the hardest and were responsible for the heavy work that kept the restaurants going and were treated and paid the worse. He said that in 20 years, he never had one white person apply for any of the lowest kitchen jobs that they feel are beneath them, and it's the Hispanics who do the jobs the whites are unwilling to do. The world lost a truly gentle soul and is the poorer for it.
What-how do make a post about anthony bourdain about flooding job markets with foreign workers to suppress wages-and some bullshit racism about whites not having work ethic.you are so messed and a shill for big capital How are we supposed to buy homes and get okay jobs when ppl like you insist that immigrants deserve all the jobs and whites deserve to be homeless and poor go fuck yourself.
@@jdlc903 if you exercise your reading abilities, you would notice that NO white man ever approached his restaurant asking for the tough jobs. So all your rethoric about "therr takin our jebs", and white people deserve to be homeless (the need to lie to prove a point removes any credibility), is complete bullshit...
I miss this man. I sobbed when I heard the news. Anthony Bourdain was the real deal, and the world is a worse place without his passion, his knowledge, his curiosity and his heart. RIP AB.
Thanks for posting these clips Don. Man... re-watched No Boundaries "Tokyo Nights" the other day. Such a talented, insightful, hyper-intelligent and humorous dude... He left a legacy.
Really love Tony , it's the first time I've ever written anything about anyone I'm so taken by him. Binging on everything about him on u tube and Netflix. Rip.
This is my first time seeing him interviewed. On No Reservations, though he seemed happy, he had almost an arrogant edge; he was a badass. It breaks my heart now, to see how self-effacing and agreeable he is. Brilliant good people who take their lives seem to have this in common. :.../
After watching this, it's amazing how Bourdain could handle himself so well, in so many situations... from his travel videos, to prime time TV, he could do it all, and always with grace, wisdom, and humor. I think that he was one of the greatest wits ever to grace the small screen, and in the years and decades to come, his fame will only grow.
Gosh, what a loss! I'd like to replicate Asti's commentary... His passing hit me real hard, I also felt as I've lost a close friend. He was a genius with words, both written and spoken, his wit and funny statements got the best of my laughs. Immense loss! Thank you Don for this great collection, great tribute to Anthony Bourdain.
Surviving heavy duty line cooking, it's one of the toughest jobs I ever did. This guy made cooking fun with his great story telling. So sorry he left early. Will be forever missed.
I worked in 6 restaurants. It's a trip! It's exactly like Tony says! I was a server, but most of the time my best, funniest, raunchiest buddies were the kitchen staff. They're all crazy! RIP Tony Bourdain!❤
Has anyone else noticed that the song played at the beginning of the 2005 interview is "You Get What You Give" by New Radicals? Eerily and tragically foreboding. Rest in Peace, Anthony Bourdain. :'(
Roger Fournier just an over all cool guy, ya know? Like the rock and roll chef with a quick wit. Safe Travels Tony. See you on the flip side. Miss you!
He was an incredibly fascinating human being, with a most captivating personality. Tragically enough, he wasn’t entertained by his own inner journey, and didn’t think that he deserved the fame! RIP
I didn't follow this guy....saw his show in passing. But he is so obviously articulate, witty, well spoken, entertaining, and real. Such a loss to our world, and I only hope he is soaring in his new life.
I was going through some dark depression myself a few months ago when I discovered no reservations on netflix I loved his humour and down to earth personality it cheered me up. I remember thinking what a happy life this man has. I'm shocked that he would committ suicide.
Been watching these Letterman compilations every day, yesterday I watched Fran Lebowitz. David was great at interviewing & it really comes thru in these compilations.
I will always be heartbroken over his passing, I remember feeling there was something wrong under the surface whenever I watched for years. However, the more recent episodes he seemed tired, drained, disinterested, less involved and very pained usually he's pained but also wonderfully real a fabulous orator. It's so rare to have gifts like his in entertainment nowadays. Now what do we watch for inspiration?.
Nice! Its still hard to believe that a person as loved & admired as he was WORLD WIDE, as rich & famous as he was, could be so depressed that he'd take his own life! Its gonna take a little longer for some to get over this tragedy...Rip man
Whenever I see him an interview it always strikes me how he really tries to connect with the other person. He doesnt really play to the audience, and it's so clear when a joke doesnt hit, or he stumbles over a word he FEELS it, he immediately displays pacifying motions; rubbing fingers together, pulling at clothes. That's what anxiety looks like. Thank you for all the hours of entertainment Mr.Bourdain
I am shocked that there are thumbs down on this video damn idiots. Man was an entertaining speaker and bright as hell hope your on your best travel now tony RIP
I read Kitchen Confidential years ago and loved it. Liked all his programs too. I'll eventually read his other books too, but I'll wait another couple years, his passing is still too much of a sad tragedy.
He was truly authentic. Dave approached many of the same subjects across all of these interviews and his answers were consistent. With Anthony there was no bullshit. He was real. RIP.
You can see how the years affected him. Alcohol, hard work, travel, smoking, sun exposure, drugs, depression. He looked so young in 2000 and so beaten up right before he died.
Have to add: As a previous chef that ran a restaurant, I can 100% say, yes..yes kitchens are in fact like a Mexican Prison Gang 😄 When we cook/prep we work really hard. We all swear alot, we all throw stuff, we all are control freaks. But somehow, it just works. I went from a closed kitchen(behind a wall with a swing door like most to seperate customers from kitchen) to a fully open kitchen. No barrier at all. That took some time to adjust lol
No Celebrity death has hit me this hard..oh Tony, Tony. I feel like I have lost a close friend and I don't even know you. I just enjoy watching your adventure on tv and listen to your insights through your deep voice. I will sorely miss you. I don't know when I will get over that you are gone. May you rest in peace.

Same here except for Chris Cornell, which also made me cry. And seemed way too close together.

We did adrenachrome in Vienna, you will be missed
@ congratulations your almost smart as a hamster
I’m sure he’s traveling well. He’s probably to the 4th circle of Hell by this point.
Lovely comment even years later ❤
That rare guest who Letterman truly respected. RIP Tony.
Yeah you can see his joy interviewing him. Usually Letterman makes me groan but this was nice.
Kirk Douglas, Rickles, Jerry Lewis...plenty of people Dave respected.
Pretty obvious after his first appearance, Letterman enjoyed him, the audience liked him = another appearance, and another...
Jerry Seinfeld, Regis, Howard Stern, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Tina Fey, Bill Clinton, Tom Brokaw, The Obamas, Bill Murray, Chris Rock and let's not forget Warren Zevon. And I could go on!!!
He didn't "truly respect" him...he LIKED him.
Letterman respected lots of people that came on his show...not rare at all.

Thank you!!! Anthony always told great stories on Letterman!!
A comedian, an intellectual, a writer, a chef, a producer.. truly a talent in so many aspects.
That was great! Love David Lettermen and Anthony Bourdain. Great to see all those shows.

Rob Stimson Letterman did this to relax his guests by asking a question they know well and probably lets them know before hand to be honest.
Yeah I noticed the repetition as well. I figure that with high-stakes network TV it's intentional.

You can see how the years affected him. Alcohol, hard work, travel, smoking, sun exposure, drugs, depression. He looked so young in 2000 and so beaten up right before he died.
It happens to most everyone regardless of alcohol or drug abuse. It's called aging, and generally speaking men age more gracefully than women.
Have to add:
As a previous chef that ran a restaurant, I can 100% say, yes..yes kitchens are in fact like a Mexican Prison Gang 😄
When we cook/prep we work really hard. We all swear alot, we all throw stuff, we all are control freaks. But somehow, it just works.
I went from a closed kitchen(behind a wall with a swing door like most to seperate customers from kitchen) to a fully open kitchen. No barrier at all. That took some time to adjust lol
"What did it taste like," "not like chicken."
Bourdain and Letterman actually get along really well, Anthony comes off as a bit shy at the beginning and then opens up and hilarity ensues.
