- In January 1971 "All in the Family" premiered on CBS. Fifty years later, the co-creator of that classic situation comedy, Norman Lear, explains the importance of laughter in keeping him going strong at the age of 98. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jonathan LaPook (Lear's son-in-law) recently spent time with Lear, making a home movie like no other, in which the legendary producer reveals what makes him tick.

This was a gift. Thank you.
I absolutely adore every episode of CBS Sunday Morning and I ALWAYS learn something from them all. Also,. Thank you for being you and for sharing yourself with all of us. Thank you so much for existing. You are all appreciated.
Has he shared how he ripped off works from other writers and made money off their works… then blackballed them when they called him or sued him for it? I think not! He’s no hero nor is he a genius but some poor sap that wrote those scripts and shows are the real geniuses!
I hope he lives to be 200 years old. God Bless Him ! SALUD!
A sock and a sock was one of my favorite exchanges between Archie and Mike.
I feel so connected to Norman saying "Leaving is the hard part, not going". What a beautiful genius, thank you!!💓✌️
Norman Lear! ❤God bless him
When they do these type of interviews. It's the last bow before the end of the show. I was 12 yrs old, when All In The Family aired. Thank you Norman, for the laughs of my adolescentes...
Such a remarkable and humble man.
Thanks Norman! You've brightened my day in these dark times. Keep on ticking!!!
Love him. Amazing. These are our sacred ‘Elderly’. Let’s remember. Wear a mask.
Yes! Thank you!!!
Thank you for this story we needed it after this week❤️ love Norman❤️
100%
Love Norman for he was in the 1970s, but not the fool he became in the 1980s
@@ilovephotography1254 100% for what he was in the 1970s. However, only 20% for what he became in 1980s
@@minewheaties5029 What went 80% wrong in the 80s?
@@ilovephotography1254 His loss of accepting reality and his decision to marry Disneyland Lyn. Frances having bipolar disorder and allegedly attempting too many suicides was no excuse. He needs to admit more that he was less willing to accept the truth about the Kennedys than his Maude inspiration was. He also became less willing to cooperate with both the U.K., the country which produced shows that inspired All In The Family and Sanford and Son, and also snubbed James L. Brooks, who previously aided him with the recruitment of Gordy the Weatherman actor John Amos and Julie Erskine actress Liz Torres, more.
This man is ICONIC this man has shaped our world..all of his shows have shown us what human is..
We are losing the beacons of this world far to quickly. Norman, live forever sir!
I was a kid when “ All in the Family” was on tv. Back then, we could laugh at each other’s foibles and disagree without the level of hatred present today. Extremes, Archie on one side of the political spectrum and Mike on the other gave us perspective and allowed Americans to examine diversity of opinion not stoke the flames.
I believe that Norman was using Archie to show that he was a full-figured bigot, with a heart, fears, and weaknesses. But he certainly did want to make his racist and anti-feminist opinions look foolish. Hence the jokes. He brought up things we simply didn't speak of back then; rape, dating outside your race, etc. But I remember my father's hatred, and HE wasn't joking one bit. There was a lot of intolerance and a considerable amount of violence back then. Absolutely not the good old days.
@@Cathy-xi8cb I didn’t claim they were “the good old days.” There was however a capacity for respectful dialogue. That doesn’t mean that people didn’t believe they were “right” in their opinions. There did however exist a capacity to understand and accept, that there were people more knowledgeable and a respect level that does not exist today. Now, many believe they are the experts.
It was wonderful. He brought humanity to our differences and showed bigotry and misogyny for what it should be...left behind. If only that was the way we went.
One of my favorite sitcoms ever. All in The Family. This man's a Genius
He should've worn an All In The Family shirt.
No he’s not … ask the writers that created all of the shows he took credit for!
Don't ask a 98-year-old man if he's making his breakfast right. He's done it enough times to figure it out! ☮️
Damn straight.
Thank you for so much fun, relaxation and opening of peoples' minds Mr. Lear! God bless.
A guy who deserves all the success and fame he received.
👍🏽👍🏽
Not all.
Naw he had to much beef going on.. he killed James off good times smh
Not all of it
@@dashd.b.c1891 And stole Eric Monte royalties. He's the creator of Good Times.
I love this great interview of one my favorite producers Norman Lear the man who brought great classic shows from the 70s are All In The Family, Maude, Good Times, The Jeffersons, Sanford & Son, One Day At A Time, What's Happening!!! Grady and many more too!!! All In The Family Good Times, One Day At A Time one of the best shows of all time!!!! Thanks so much for posting this video!!!! I love it!!!! God bless your Norman Lear!!! Keep your spirits up and stay strong!!!!!!
Give Eric Monte his credit too!!!
I can't believe he's still working! His energy and intelligence at his age is remarkable.
I know right
Wow you can't beat that at now 99
No it’s not! He appears to have plagiarized/taken credit for other writers works… some have even sued him and have proof of his dirty deeds. He’s no hero!
@@pjames1405 wow, this is interesting. I'll have to look into this, so disappointing if true.
What a wonderful man with a great outlook on life and his for fellow man. We all can still learn from him
I loved watching all of the shows he created in the seventies. All In The Family started the year I was born. I love that show.
Saying "tick" makes me tick, Amazing, this guy is a legend
A beautiful soul!
Thank you fro brightening my day with this positive and encouraging story.
I feel like that hat is holding his soul in his body.
I love Norman Lear's Television programs,I'm glad he is still with us.
There needs to be an online site with all of his work - including short lived series and unsold pilots.
I just saw this on television this morning.
Norman Lear was in the same squadron and bombardment group as my father.
Both were in the 15th Air Force 463rd Bombardment Group (Heavy) 772nd Bombardment Squadron in the United States Army Air Force on B-17 Flying Fortess bombers.
My father was 1st Lt James L Jarmon Pilot/Aircraft Commander and my dad had 50 combat missions/35 sorties in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations in the year 1944.
Dad passed away in 2004 and my mother who was an actual Rosie the Riveter on the dorsal fins of B-17's and B-29's passed away in 2018
We both watched the television show All in the Family and it was very popular with my father and I enjoyed it as well.
It makes my day to know that he is still with us and he has a great family.
Thank you Norman Lear and thanks for helping to defeat Hitler
Was he a thief and liar then like one of the writers he took credit for that writer’ work called him?
Thank you Norman Lear for the hilarious sitcoms you created in the 1970s. You are are true genius/mensch/American treasure!
Love him.❤
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC INTERVIEW!!!! Bravo Dr.!!!!
I love his philosophy about life.wow. gratefulness for life itself.waking up seeing another day.what a beautiful man norman lear.
Thank you for everything, Mr. Lear. And for your combat service, I had no idea you'd flown all those missions. Loved the impromptu sing-along with Dr. John.
'The foolishness of the human condition'. Ain't that the truth.
Foolishness is not presented in his decision to wear a One Day at a Time shirt when he is mainly known as the creator of All In The Family?
So beautiful - thank you
InspirationL!!!
What an amazingly fun and funny genius! I didn't know that he was from the East coast. A lot of people from Iowa think that he is from Des Moines! We love him here!
What an inspiring/ inclusive/ oh so creative man! Thanks for inviting us in!
What an amazing man! This is a great story.
I hope all six of those shows are picked up. We all need more Norman Lear in our lives! I grew up on his shows and they helped shape who I am as a person. We are all equal. We all have something to say. When we stand together we are stronger. ♥️♥️ Thank you, sir for raising a few generations of tolerance.
The shows of my childhood❤❤
Happy birthday Norman Lear, you're the greatest.
The greatest television show creator, producer, and writer ever...period.
I'll never see 98. God Bless Him!
a wonderful profile of norman lear. i would expect nothing less from 'cbs sunday morning'.
Delightful interview. The cake wasn’t his fault. These days you do a batch of cupcakes with candles for everyone and you all blow them out at the same time. It’s the only safe way to sing happy birthday during the pandemic. Wish I had half his energy.
Always looking at this show Great moments
LOVE THIS AMAZING MAN !!!
Incredible man-- He truly related to the real American experience's--
So this is the Mind behind those COOL sitcoms of the 70s?!! Love ya Mr.Lear.😊👍
A national treasure what more can be said
Happy 100th Mr. Lear!
A Genius!
Hot damn! Norman Lear made it to 100!
He was in quarantine last year. Born in 1922 , only 4 years after and Nearly 100 years since the last global pandemic of spanish flu. Let that sink in.
Thankyou Mr Lear for making my 70’s childhood tv 📺 fun 👌
He's turned out a bit like Mr. Quigley. The saying "Every man is my superior in that I may learn from him" was actually used in an episode of All in the Family.
And then there's Maude! God'll get you for that. Thank you, Norman for all your brilliant characters!
Genius. Simply Genius.
I just went through the sock and a sock routine this week , and remembered it. I went with the meathead method.
His sitcoms really defined America at its Best in the 70s and 80s...he allowed discussions of hot topics without cancel culture and demonization....the fact that he created a character like Archie Bunker who we didn't hate is amazing.
Human Super Hero like none other 🙌🏻❤️💪🏻🎥 📺👏🏻
He created big sitcoms! Great memories!
My childhood TV nights.
Norman Lear was a writer on the Colgate Comedy Hour when my uncle was the producer/director
All in the Family is the smartest and funniest show by far!
After all the years that have past since All in the Family. Every once in a while, when I'm putting on my sox and shoes, with fond memories, I sometimes think back of that sox and shoes debate between Archie and Michael/Meathead.
Norman Lear a living legend and national treasure.
hey TH-cam, there's a reason this segment didn't have ad breaks in the middle of it, on television
Outstanding interview.
Seems like a great guy
God bless him...
Norman Lear is such a icon and so is his cute white hat.
Great Story!
All the wonderful shows that this young man was a huge part of.
WOW!!! Congrats on being 98, just like my mum (her birthday is in June). [Anything under 100 is young], eh?
THANKS for MANY MANY laughs. I can still hear my dad laughing at Archie Bunker. We are in this lifetime together. How rich that is.
Keeping active and engaged is what it's all about.
My favorite Sunday morning show.
Thanks for the upload👍👍💙
Anything over the age of 85 is very old.
They'd never allow a show like All in the Family today. How do you feel about our lack of free speech and big brother big tech?? RIP AMERICA
love the cigarette smash decor !!
I am like that understanding others all the time being a bit odd.
The Master of TV!
Bless hom.
Sunday Morning with Charles Kuralt.
I used to tell people that my Dad made Archie look liberal but increasingly people don't know who Archie is
An american treasure.
I really wish God would allow me to follow in his footsteps or even have my name spoken next to his.
Work work work dont stop granny said
He’s talking about how important the onion is on top of a piece of salmon when he’s literally ruined the lives of Black people
Jeez, his third (and current) wife is younger than his eldest daughter...
@5:14
❤️❤️❤️
Great story, but 3 ad-breaks in a story that isn't even 9 minutes long? Come on.
His secondary shows off the main was the problem. Lack of commitment.
Eric Monte was the true creature of some of those shows ….not Norman Lear. 👎🏽👎🏽
All I got to say is Norman Lear is like 110 he don't know when to stop and leave well enough alone doing all those live plays his shows was terrible the first to The Jeffersons and all in the family is where they should have stopped ,the rest of them was absolutely horrible
I certainly won't fear divorcing Lyn, even if it involves alimony. Here, she is acting like she speaks for both of them. Norman is more known for All In the Family, not One Day at a Time, so that shirt really corrupts his legacy.
They threw out his 98th birthday cake because he blew out the candles. If that isn't a statement of the stupidity of this era, I don't know what is!
Is Norman Lear the one responsible for killing off James Evans?
Yes. He fired John Amos because he complained too much
I guess I can credit him for bringing British sitcoms then Americanized them.
Hubby really does not care for culinary meals. Much healthy really. I try my best but need more fitness...me time away from my kids.
