GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:
gma.yahoo.com/
Such strength from a brother who lost both his sister and his mother. The way he talked about their relationship was simply beautiful
Todd is a tribute to what a fine mother he and Carrie had. Bless them all
This idea that they're together now and helping each other...Whether you believe in it or not, the point is Todd does, and it brings him comfort, and hopefully Billie and the rest of the family as well. RIP.
Well said and I agree
Mon Mothma but beyond belief,is the power of Debbie to die at the completion of her role as Mother...at will... amazing devotion
I agree. When my husband passed not that long ago, I wished to go with him like that, but we have young children who need me here. At Debbie's age, having lived her whole full life, most beautiful way to go. No one should spend their last few elderly years with failing health and unspeakable, torturous grief.
BA BF Very good point, and I am so sorry for your loss. Warm thoughts to you and your children :)
yes
He is such a beautiful soul to be able to look at this like he is. He's right, it is a love story for the ages.
This is one of the hardest conversation to hear yet it's so beautiful and awe inspiring.
'"God had a little chat with Debbie and said, 'Get up here and give us a hand!' " ... That is so touching and so hilarious! RIP Debbie and Carrie!!! Forever in our hearts!!
WHAT A LOVING SELFLESS SON AND BROTHER. BEAUTIFULLY SPOKEN ..TODD !!!!!
Patricia Murphy,
These are strong people, and we got a chance to know them just a little bit more.
"It's horrible, it's beatiful, it's magical" as hard as it is i understand him. May the force be with you both LEGENDS, R.I.P.
What a great son and brother! The positive outlook of Reynolds-Fishers family just amazing!!!
Excellent interview. I'm sure Carrie & Debbie are looking down proud as can be at how he's handling everything and his strength.
he said his mother had a stroke, and then contradicted himself and said she just shut her eyes and went asleep.
+francis dee thats how he descrtibed the stroke
Iván Antonio Amador Alvarado
You don't think it odd to say 'she closed her eyes and went asleep ...she had a stroke'
He doesnt act in a manner of just losing his mother and sister - unless he didnt care less.
francis dee i honestly dont, his mother previosly sufer 2 strokes, and had 84, so her death as well as Carrie were natural, so i think that gives peace to him
Iván Antonio Amador Alvarado maybe, but everyone is now suspicious of Hollywood and so many deaths, too many ...
Beautiful. Her son is amazing too!
God Bless Debbie and Carrie. RIP. That interview... it' crazy. Made me cry. Glad it can bring him some peace.
When I first heard the news about the Unsinkable Debbie Reynolds passing, I knew she had done something like what Todd described; I knew that taking care of Carrie was why she kept herself alive and working - and that when Carrie died she said to herself, "I don't want to stay, anymore." So she made sure Todd and Billie were OK and then went directly to be with her daughter. She was always a strong Christian and didn't fear death at all, and Todd and Billie will be OK.
The funeral and tributes are for us fans, and any drama will come from the fans(and may be started by the media or paparazzi) but everyone should take heart from Debbie's attitude about her troubles(Keep on keepin' on because God loves you) and Carrie's hard-won lessons that she shared with the world(much the same, maybe a bit more cynical)and which allowed her to keep going. She and Debbie were still smart and still working, and they both didn't worry much about what others said about them.
Carrie and Debbie are in a good place. They both would want all of us to be well, and to take care of ourselves, and to keep on going, working or whatever, and to not worry.
Well said, David Smith. I pray Carrie had given her life to God as well. Regardless, I pray for peace, love, and strength for every family member and mourning fan.
I personally cannot think of a celebrity passing as touching as these two--cosmic is the only word for it
they could not live without each other.
Debbie did a wonderful job with her children. That was awesome God bless you Todd
"The love story is uncanny.....and to exit the planet (within a day of each other) makes Romeo & Juliet look like soft stuff."
Love it
So after he described how his mom passed, she asked what it looked like.... Fire the person who writes the questions.
Tiffani Patterson that was clearly a follow-up question that she came up with on her own. She is a lousy interviewer and has been for years. I don't know why she's still there.
Exactly, that was just too much...Geez, like really.
Young people don't realize what a superstar Debbie Reynolds was.
Anyway, both incredible women.
BTW, Todd is successful in his own right..
stevie68a Yeah. I was born in the 70s and I'm a lot more familiar with Fisher than her mother.
2:42 Every family needs to be this close and strong. Todd is obviously a confident and grounded man - more likely the hidden "force" behind this family. God bless them as they heal...guide them, comfort them, and give them strength. God is real. May the Force be with every mourning fan. This interview brought so much peace for me.
Love Billie Lourd on Scream Queens... I can't imagine her pain having lost both her mom & grandmother 💔 praying for her & her family at this time
I thought that was her. I really didn't know they were related.
His faith is so beautiful.Moving me to tears
.For me Mother and daughter were soul mates.
Wtf is wrong with Elizabeth Vargas?
Shame on her. At times she even looks skeptical and disbelieving while asking the most obvious, first year journalism questions. Acting like she's interrogating a conman and not a grieving, still trying to be upbeat man, who's lost his sister _and_ his mother. Todd Fisher 's patience with her ridiculous questions is astounding. Vargas says to him "What do you mean, she 'faded out'?" What do you think it means, dummy? She slowly passed away peacefully after saying she missed her daughter.
Then as if trying to compound his pain, she asks the no-brainer; "It must have been excruciating for your mother to lose your sister?"
_How_ long has she been doing this, almost 30 years? Shouldn't she be better or do better?
h xassan maybe she was drunk. I think Stephanie Vargas has a drinking problem. I mean I think she's been public with it. Unless I'm confusing her with someone else.
Lisa J Maybe she was.
maybe you should have done the interview.
Todd is truly a man of faith. God bless the entire family.
That`s a horrible thing to say about a man.
A man of faith; a gullible fool.
Hmm, maybe. Faith is constantly reassuring yourself you haven`t been sold a crock and made a fool of yourself, faith is bullshit;
when you know you dont know what you claim to know, like where dead people go. Or that god is real, only in your head.
It`s a nice idea, (the 2 of them, together, like my parents, somewhere nice,) but that`s all it is.
The whole thing, gods, heaven, hell, the bible is all made-up bullshit.
Paul J not a respectful place for this rant ,thanks anyway
Quite so.
Paul...I am not a believer in any way in organized religions myself, however, an insofar as an afterlife and a "God" of some kind...there is proof other than faith. I suggest you do some very DEEP research into NDE's (near death experiences) , death bed visions, shared death experiences etc. Especially, look into NDE's for starters and that alone..if you are honest in your research should change your mind, if it is a sound, reasonable and logical mind that you possess.
I can't believe how much strength this guy has. I'm glad that he has almost selflessly forced himself to see the bright side of their reunion even though it left him all alone without a sister or mother. I don't know if I believe in heaven like Todd, but I truly want to believe the little picture he laid out of Carrie wrecking the place and Debbie coming to care for her, such a great image of them together again. Two absolute treasures, whose work and lives are going to be appreciated to huge extremes for the rest of our lives. Rest in Peace, hope you're both still having a rockin time wherever you are Debbie and Carrie. Thanks for everything
I was completely touched by his grounded yet very spiritual wise response--
Only a true born again Christian would understand everything Todd has said....God answered Debbie's prayer years ago..she didn't want to go to Carrie's Funeral...and she didn't...it is a Love Story between mother and daughter...God Bless Todd and his family.
Loved when he said God looked down and said Debbie get up here and help us! It made me laugh!
jo jo n
one of the most funny and adorable people on earth xx
I actually love this interview. "It's horrible and wonderful at the same time. It's magical." I thought so too. Sad and happy at the same time...
How very beautiful. Thank you Todd this is Awesome 👍😎 😎 😎
When I heard Carrie had died, I thought to myself, Debbie must be heartbroken. Then to hear that Debbie died as well made me feel so sad for Todd. The loss he was experiencing had to be devastating for him. But after seeing this, his composure and complete belief that they are together and happy, I think he has a better grip on the loss than I DO. And I'm not even part of the family. What a great way to look at their passing, and I feel better knowing that Todd is going to be just fine through all of this!
my condolences to that poor man and their entire family
What a beautiful story Todd tells. Carrie and Debbie are together in heaven.
All I have to say is Todd Fisher is amazing when he speaks xxx
It's sad that I have to see "was" on both Carrie's and Debbie's Wikipedia pages now :(
I just don't get how he can talk so calmly just after losing two of his closest family members.. His strength is amazing
Wow, this was something else. Debbie and Carrie together again. RIP
Great or unknown, we'll face death. And the only question that will matter is how did we live.
Thank you, Todd. Beautiful. Your words are profound and perfect.
This was hard to listen to. But it is also inspiring to realize mother and daughter relationships. The ups and downs of it. Despite the hardships, the world loved Debbie and Carrie.
I completely get it. What he said is right on. God Bless.
touched my soul too
Love this story about Debbie and Carrie Fisher and at the same time it's so sad! Love them! R.I.P🙏🏼🦋🦋
Love this! Such an amazing love story, one could only wish they were that close to their child!
Debbie Reynolds went to look after Carrie. Debbie Reynolds was a great person, a great actress and a great mother. RIP
'old hollywood' pure class , grace--yet hip too
What a Beautiful Mother and Daughter!! Together Forever, Amen.
Very beautiful and original.
that's a very powerful interview--and son Todd very eloquent about the sequence of events and how Debbie and Carrie needed to leave together, so to speak....and they did. 'beautiful' as he said.
Todd you are so brave and o yes what a wonderful way to go god bless you and keep strong pet patricia c uk.
I have had a sad feeling because of the loss of these women. especially because Billie was left by the 2 most important people in her life. Todd's exp!aination has made me feel immense my better. I'm glad to hear Debbie believed in God. That encourages Mr that Debbie shared her faith with Carrie. It was also comforting to know that Debbie was not bereft when Carrie died. I had imagined her in terrible depths of grief. Thank you, Todd. I'm glad Billie has you in her life to depend on.
Debbie, your son is also a class act.
My favorite author and someone I always wanted as a friend. Heaven is such a lucky place now.
Whenever you lose a brother or sister etc. You fell numb. And can.t believe their gone. Tears starts shedding. It takes a long while before the healing process begins. Very long.
Carrie and Debbie RIP miss you
Exquisitely beautiful .....Todd is right about everything ....he's a wonderful man ❤
He so protective of both of them, very sweet....
DEBBIE and CARRIE had a unique relationship and DEBBIE was one of those rare women that raised two children in Hollywood and made sure they turned out to be good people. The addictions are suffered by people in many families and they were lucky to be decent loving and caring family. Let's hope Billie and Todd can settle things given time. No one said life is easy.
Amazing ending. Rest in peace ladies.
Good interview and I'm sorry for your loss Todd.
Well stated, Todd. RIP Carrie and Debbie.
Debbie would be incredibly proud of Todd. Carrie, Todd and Debbie had the luck of being family.
so happy Todd Fisher is so strong
Yes, it is. Beautiful, magical expression of love.
That's the worst interviewer I've ever seen....good job Todd enduring such a ding-a-ling
ya, he got some amazing answers out in spite of her 2nd rate questions.
I wish I could give Todd a hug.
Rest in peace Debbie Reynolds.
Mr. Fisher. I'm so sorry. May they both RIP 🌹♥️🙏
Greatest love of all
May the survivors, of Debbie Reynolds, find comfort and peace in our prayers.
May God keep them in his loving peace and strength.
Bless them all
This is still so devastating to a lot of their fans, but I'm glad that the family seems to have found some peace.
Todd handled the interview beautifully.
I feel a kindred spirit in Carrie , I’m drawn to Debbie & Carrie and am intrigued to listening to Todd. I met Todd through JordannLee and I watch Cat and Todd’s Show.
Beautiful Tragedy...
Condolences
A mystery that they both died within a day of each other.
Debbie died from a broken heart quite literally...may they both RIP together
Todd is amazing.
R.I.P.
Maybe it's just me but why do so called " interviewers " ask such obvious stupid questions ? I think if they actually listen to the person they're interviewing , they would have the opportunity to ask better and more suitable questions .
I do not understand how anyone could down-vote this video.
apequake Me to. I hope it's because they finde it to saad and horrible what happend to Carrie and Debbie.
because of the interviewer, not the guest.
i dunno but did you notice everyone of her pictures she purses her lips to make them look real big. I think she really aged a lot, and she acted really off the wall, but still no reason to put her down, she had a mental illness...
True love
Rip
He really did right by his Mother and Sister. Wow.
People underestimate the damage alcohol & drugs do to the body. Carrie Fisher by her drug usage and alcoholism, shortened her own life.... Compare her mother living to age 84....
the force will always be with her.
The interviewer used the word excruciating. The only excruciating thing about this clip, with thee wonderfully composed Todd, was she. Nosily intrusive, with pseudo concern, there was nothing dignified or stylish about this conversation.
Man I miss her
such a sad story they was really actors. carrie was so great in star wars.
crying
Carrie Fisher to me will always be one of the greatest actresses she graced the Star Wars story made Lea hers and made Hon Solo putty in Lea's heart without Carrie I don't think Star Wars would be as great as it is and George might not have had success with it Carrie is a great actress I say is because as long as you can see her movies and guest appearances on shows she still lives
God Bless
Carrie
Todd was great in the interview. Elizabeth Vargas was awful.
A www www www😥😥😥😥😥😥😣😣😣😣 Rip Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher. Please God look after everyone who have passed away😥😥😣😣😣😣🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤
Both Leia and Carrie Fisher's mother "lost their will to live".
Or, they both chose to move to the non-physical, another way to look at it.

▓▒░the stars go down to rise upon some other shore░▒▓
That shit is crazy. RIP
A little crazy, yes... But if it can bring the family some comfort, and protect them from the pain a little...
wonderfull womens
todd look like his mum.
I feel bad for him it sounds like Carrie got all the attention poor guy😢
Carrie was the more vulnerable of the two children, she had so many issues, addiction and bipolar being just two of them. Todd was the strength of the family for both women.
I hope i can die like Debbie and Carrie did. Just fade out and go to sleep. And I am 70 yrs old too. We all have to die sometime! No one lives forever. R.I.P.
Debbie Reynolds was 84; not 70!
yup we all have to go--and not be afraid.
there is just something wrong with this interview being so close to their death. just saying.
What a weird interviwer!!! Like an intern! Todd was patient and polite to this cold, insensitive journalist!
Just. Why
I'm not a fan of the energy of interviewers' questions on news TV. A bit softer touch than this ultra-direct approach. There isn't much empathy there.
the brother sounds so weird describing them, like emotionless
I get a kick outta Todd! I remember his story about how his dog was under the house and Todd was praying for it. Great story. As for Debbie and Carrie well I do think they are together.
However I think they are here and retired out of the Hollywood system of things.
I think the same is true of David Bowie and many others........just a hunch....
That interviewer is doing to much she’s trying to break him down.
