Holy S- how have I, a born and bred Canadian, never listened to an interview with this man? He's freaking hilarious! And the cheek on him! Wow. Never change, Mikey, you're a national treasure.
a man of unbelievable courage - how he has dealt with the cards he was given is an inspiration to the rest of his country and the world in general. mammoth respect.
Only in english canada because you have the same USA culture , same identity , same TV shows , same horrible food and taste and closed minded people ... but americans are nicer than english canadians.
I did 6 years of constant travel around the world. We definitely do this. Locals can definitely distinguish Canadians from Americans not from our accents but from our friendliness and politeness (showing consideration of others).
100%. Everywhere I go, it's almost the first thing that is announced. I'm proudly Canadian, and when I find another abroad, it's like a hive mind where that connection hits. It's like you bumped into a relative haha
No shame from being a Burnaby boy Michael, so much great talent comes from Canada! Thank you for being who you are! From the Royal Hudson steam train to the steam clock, perhaps that's where they got the idea for the steam train in back to the future movie series. " Great Scott"
Oh wow, i had no idea Michael was already struggling with Parkinsons' when he had those brilliant appearances in Scrubs. I watched them way back then and had no clue anything was wrong with him. What an amazing person.
Way before Scrubs. And even before Spin City. He was diagnosed when he was 29 and was doing the movie Doc Hollywood. It started with a tremble in his little finger.
It's true you sniff out other Canadians abroad. I ordered a rye n ginger when I was in Melborne, some random guy yelled "You know they have Canadian." and raises his Canadian. Broship in the making.
Definitely. So sad Hollywood wants people to sound alike unless the script calls for an accent. Especially since so many mispronounce words like template, route, mobile, etc. 😊.
Nonsense. 60 year old Canadian here. I grew up in Western Canada, same place as Michael J Fox. I have always said 9th, 10th, 11th grade. Perhaps you're from Ontario or somewhere in eastern Canada? Saying it either way is very common where I'm from, but most common is the exact same way Michael says it.
Talking about his kids tolling him. Reminds me, my mother was arachnophobic. We evil children, anytime we found a spider, would if possible, try to pick it up, and then just quietly release it on her sleeve and wait for her to notice it. The freakouts were hilarious! Of course... there was the time she was driving us somewhere, we were both in the back seat, and noticed a spider crawling along the ceiling upholstery, out of our reach, but above her head. We both just looked at each other, paused, and then firmly shook our heads. Nope. Heeeeell nope! We're brats, not suicidal!
@@fifthbusiness1678we all have role models. Not a strange thing at all. It’s how we try out ways of being in the world. We experiment and look to others and sometimes those others are fictional characters. 🤷♀️
Just so you know ... Michael has already explained that he prepares his body before he goes on stage, on TV like this ... there is a routine he does for days and one of them is SLAMMING drugs into him so that he will not shake as much while on TV, but it's not good for him, and it's like a hangover when the drugs wear off...but he wants to look as comfortable as possible while out there in front of his fans ...and I, for one, would never criticize him for that...look at some of those vain women, getting everything but their feet lifted to look young for the camera. My brother just was diagnosed with the same affliction, but he truly doesn't understand what's going to happen to him. The other day, they were about to show Michael on TV when he was having a 'bad day", my oldest brothers made it a point to not have the TV on so our brother would not get to see what's in store for him.
Michael Fox was my neighbour in Burnaby before I moved to Vancouver proper. However, he was just a little brat kid at the time and I basically ignored him. LOL
In Canada the academia has precidence over the athletics. One of my high school math teachers liked exotic cars in the 70's. He drive a Delorean or his Bricklin to school on occasion. Most friends graduated with a couple Rush stubs and had closed bars in two countries. I had more absences than grades and still finished on time.
The commercial he's referring to at 4:35 is this one, and I completely forgot about it until he described it in full detail: th-cam.com/video/3h1O7-r7Wrw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2YQirUYelA2HXYa4 Thanks, Mike.
As a western Canadian, I have more in common with say a Quebecer over an average American? Na.... maybe hockey. Beyond that, I see little to be bros about if we came across each other outside Canada. Canada is torn apart more than ever.
I still have hope Canada can reclaim, if we can just get Trudeau out! And not have an idiot allowing 500000 people poir into our country when there's no homes for the people here.
Only Western Canadians seem to be bent on making sure that happens. We all know Quebec is a pain in the ass, but the rest of us are not radically different.
@@marklittle8805 Lol... your dismissive comment proves my point. Plus I don't know how you'ed have any clue as to what I do or don't have in common with anyone. I'm speaking about a personal observation. You may want to ask yourself what's going on when a person like me who was about as patriotic, proud and loyal to Canada as one can be, now isn't. If you don't care, my point again is proven. A high road and a low road is wide open to you.
Probably on medication for his Parkinson's disease he has been fighting it for so many years who can blame the guy if he is but could be reassessed affects as well but who really cares about that he did a great job with the show
MJF is one of those very few, universally loved, actors. What a great guy. ❤👍👏
Holy S- how have I, a born and bred Canadian, never listened to an interview with this man? He's freaking hilarious! And the cheek on him! Wow. Never change, Mikey, you're a national treasure.
I totally laughed when Conan asked if the neighbour actor found success and MJF said ‘Oh, I don’t care’ 😂

Michael J Fox… grace & intellect under trying circumstances.
Yah, you can see him struggling to cover the signs of his illness
I was wondering@@pattimoran2020
This was 20 years ago. Do not underestimate the effects of Parkinson’s! 20 years is a long time in Parkinson years :(

On the opposite side of the height spectrum; shows you everyone can be loved. Very inspirational
@@michaelreardon303 ❤️💯
O'brian is a snooze-fest. Thankfully Mike has enough personality for both of them.
@@burnyizland Really? I think they are both great.👍🏽
@SunnyDaze-uq8ed Are you going to comment on every single thing I write? You wanna be butt buddies or something? Get a hobby.
Micheal J Fox is a Canadian legend !!!
He looks amazing! Such an inspiration 💪
Always the coolest and funniest guy in the room, ever since Family Ties!
When he stands up and opens his jacket talking about being cute forever. Teen Wolf vibes!
Yes Michael J. Fox is still cute.
Anyone notice the maple leafs on Conan’s desk & the maple leaf holding the table up?
Thx

The timing was perfect. Love Michael J. Fox!
I laughed hard at that one 😅
"I'm not buying my couch back."
Alex P. Keaton. Still my top three fav TV characters of all time!
My son and I were in Ireland and he was enthusiastically approached by some people who recognized his backpack😆 It happens.
Cuz we know that fellow 🇨🇦s are mostly good ppl.
Saying "11th grade" instead of "grade 11" is also a giveaway that he gained some American terminology.
I noticed that too
Exactly! We never say ‘11th’ grade.

Well here on Vancouver Island it is most common to say Grade 11. Was born here, parents were born here. I am over 50.
Two of my favorite people.
Such an amazing guy!
Love this guy so much❤
Deeply loved man, sorry another Canadian here.
Great actor.
FOX is LEGEND !!!!!!!!!!!! The Government should put his face on a bill...(special edition).
Class act…. Like so many other canadian actors.
People love Michael J. Fox. That makes me love people.
Love him!
One of us! One of us! 🍁
I've never seen him look and sound so good! Keep it up, Michael!
That interview was from 1998.
@@debrawilson9791 Oh...too bad.
I remember an interview with Michael J Fox where he was asked “ what is your least favourite sound?” And he said “ Nose whistles”
I’m writing a paper about him in my English class then I got this vid recommended to me. ITS FATE
No man, you spoke his name out loud, the microphone on your phone, which listens to EVERYTHING then sent that to you........welcome to the dark side.
@@TYRONE_SHOELACES :o
Hope you did well on your paper.
@@TYRONE_SHOELACESYup. The phones knows everything we do.

What a beautiful man.
As a kid I literally modeled parts of my personality after Bart Simpson and Marty McFly. 😄
Really? Have you spoken to professional therapists about this?
Don’t be a hater moron.. Marty McFly is pretty cool and a good person to connect with. Michael J. Fox is an amazing actor!

He is Canadian? He must know Terry Fox.
Is that the runner?
Every Canadian knows Terry Fox! One of our greatest national heroes.
They actually come from the same area of British Columbia, suburbs of Greater Vancouver.
@@lizzyfolks9116Terry Fox was born in Winnipeg and moved to BC when he was 8.
@SunnyDaze-uq8ed just stating a fact so maybe you should stop nitpicking
Conan, 1:50 Good one, Michael!
I still believe he would of made a perfect fit for Spider Man!
Kind of a 🍁 Superhero
early showing huh?
Poor guy.
I have alot of respect for him.
You can see his Parkinsonsons in this interview.
What a nice guy
He's still cute ❤
Light of day's awesome, with Joan Jett!
Hope, BC? John Rambo's favorite place?
I have the same aversion to nail damage. I hated that commercial!
Imagine naming your whole race after "we put things in cans"... Even while they don't do it more than most.
but sometimes you do know them, it happens
True! It happened to me when I was in Australia! 😂
My Canadian girlfriend always nails me on the way I pronounce “sorry.” Fox here is right. It’s “sari”, NOT “sawry.”
it's really hurt to see him, he's trying to hide his pain so much
Ian punnit has a saying that goes eat the Canadians first. Don't know why.

I remember back in the day he would distance himself from his Canadian side
@SunnyDaze-uq8ed yeah he did
Michael had to speak American so they would understand what he was saying, lol
we all hate toronto
His Parkinsomn's was still not visible at this point
uh yes it was
Ayo?
yes
Is he drunk🤔
Oy vey
MJF has no idea what Canadians are like now or what Canada is like now, he has not lived here in decades.

@SunnyDaze-uq8ed Yeah, i know the accents in Canada. I'm Canadian and a Maritimer. Tell me, what exactly is an American or a Canadian accent?

Has he changed citizenship?😊
@@laurag7295 that's irrelevant

his career could be most fulfilling. A logical decision and everyone's right to do.
He looks high AF I thought he was wholesome 😮
He as Parkinson disease.
Ooooof. Just delete the comment. It’s not too late.
Sticking with a horrible observation instead of deleting comment...dumber than making the original comment.
You're not thinking, you're hating.
