Yes Bravo to Mr. Todd Bridges shredded the interviewer into pieces . The interviewer thought he was going to drag Todd Bridges but instead the interviewer looked like an imbecile
I’m so proud of Todd Bridges right now. He was so professional in this interview. He’s absolutely right... life happens to everyone money or no. Bryant Gumble was very antagonistic. I loved it that Todd called him a square. Lol!!
Cause Todd knew he was a pussy ass cornball. Todd ran up in a crack house and shot the trap nigga and took his dope, you think he gave any fucks about Bryant gummy bear? 😂 yell
Todd did handle things very well, especially for that time when everyone was down on them. He did get into trouble one more time about a year & a half later. But that time saved his life... And he's been sober now for more than 28 years! He's living a great life now! He went through so much & he's a true survivor! He is one of my heroes! ❤️
Networth. He was really trying to shed his blackness at the time. Yet in the 70's he was fro'd out calling Joe Frazier an uncle tom. Go figure "in a devoid of bass voice" nothing is out of bounds yell
I cannot believe how aggressively nasty Gumble was in his line of questions. WOW! I applaud Bridges for maintaining his dignity and not losing it during this interview. Gumble is definitely judging Bridges through a lens he never had to use. Bridges owned his wrong choices. Celebrate and encourage the mindset rather than destroying it.
Here in 2023, just finished watching Todd's recent interview with Vlad and I must say, I'm so incredibly proud of him and the man that he's become. I remember these times and these types of interviews that, looking back, were so degrading. I used to be fearful of what would come of his life back in the 90s. I'm annoyed Bryant Gumble and his interviewing style here.... but I can only imagine that his aim was to produce the opportunity for Todd to defend himself and make it plain in the way that he did. Salute to Todd - You're an inspiration🙏🏾👑
Todd Bridges is One humble Man😘😘 How can you not love him. He called a Square. Rolling!! He told him don't say Well!!! How can you tell a grown man what to say out of his mouth. That man was discusting
Bryant Gumble was so far beyond disrespectful to Todd Bridges And this is why.If you listen to a person they will tell you who they are.Todd tells us he came from a difficult childhood now add fast fame new wealth and the fear and shame of being molested especially as a boy.His own dad didn't believe him.Its not surprising that drugs took him.Todd survived he won the war. Listen to Bryant Gumbles remarks he is telling Todd how dare he try to become person of value and faith who would help others overcome these nightmares. BRYANT GUMBLE IS TELLING US WHO HE IS A HATEFUL HEARTLESS OUT OF TOUCH RELIC WHO FEELS THE DISTRUCTION OF CHILDEREN IN HOLLYWOOD OK.
How dare Bryant Gumble sit on his higher then thou soap box, and pass judgement on Todd! We all go through a lot in this life, some good, and some bad, and even some things we might have made mistakes with. For him to sit there and treat him as less of a person is so wrong on every level. He should be ashamed of his actions!
We've been through bad things in life, but not all of them to the point of getting involved with drugs and dealers. I'm not here to judge Todd 'cause he's changed but He's a reporter and that's his job, unfortunately.
I have absolutely so much respect for todd he's so honest I just wish my brother could have been like him because he has died and he never released this until it was to late
I too am impressed with how Todd handled this interview 27 years ago. He was honest, definitely sober and in a better place. I have never really cared for Bryant Gumble because he always seemed so arrogant and full of himself. He tried to bait Todd and the young man did not go for it. Todd's problems were the same that many young people face as Todd stated. Money can make an abusive parent more so. Many cops in some areas of the country see color (and class) before they see anything else, and innocent kids (and adults) are victimized. Money provided access to drugs and to a young person with money and problems drugs are often the escape from pain. Now it is common knowledge that Bryant was a serial philanderer during his marriage, he was disliked by his coworkers, is a misogynist, and has said some racist things in the past. He is no better than Todd, but at least Bridges claims his errors, mistakes, and challenges, and never seemed to deliberately hurt others.
I almost shed a tear watching this,u can tell he has a pure heart, just bad choices,I just hated the interviewer,mad annoying... U are a Legend Todd bridges 🙏🙏🙏
Never knew Bryant Gumble was a big jerk! He shouldn’t have beat up Todd in this interview. He was pushing his buttons on purpose. Kudos to Todd for not losing his cool and answering the questions with grace and poise.
Bryant Gumble has an irksome voice because he has no soul. He sold his soul after giving over his signature to the Nationwide Broadcasted Clowns at NBC. I'm thankful Todd Bridges didn't sell his soul or else this whole interview wouldn't have any divine substance at all. I accept Bryant Gumble conducting himself as a rude inconsiderate ...its his job. Bless Brother Todd Bridges. His book "Killing Willis" is superb reading for inspiration (to younger people) to endure their hellish experiences on earth by overly abusive devilish older folks.
I love the way Todd Bridges took on Bryant "sell out" .. . That wasn't an interview That was a desecration of his character😤 Attack 🤨!!!!! 🖤Todd Bridges.... Keep prospering brotha✊🏾
It’s been more than 30 years since this interview, and Todd Bridges was and is still absolutely right and Gumble had no right to say what he did and I’m sure today he would admit that he was in the wrong. No one was protecting these kids back then and for that there’s rules and regulations from the matter that happened with them.
We need people like this guy asking questions damn......I still like wills watching his show now everyday at 4pm didn't know about all of this the show came out in the 70s and I was born at the way end of the 90$ but I like them old shows.they are not like todays.
I AM PROUD OF TODD BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE MAKE BAD CHOICES IN LIFE I HAVE BEEN SOBER AND CLEAN FOR 3 YEARS AND 9 MONTHS AS OF DECEMBER 6-2023 AND I AM NOT A SHAME FOR TELLING MY STORY I HOPE WHO EVER SEES THIS VIDEO ON TODD AND HEAR MY SOBRIETY JOURNEY ONE DAY WOULD SAVE AT LEAST ONE PERSON WHO IS STRUGGLING WITH DRUGS ALCOHOL AND GAMBLING AND STEALING I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF TODAY AND I PRAY FOR TODD EVERYONE HAVE A WONDERFUL 2024🙏🏾❤️
What he is trying to say is that he's only human and not perfect ..just because your a star ..rich..or whatever you are doesn't mean you cant make wrong choices ..
Bryan G went at Todd hard for a reason. Todd was always in trouble in those days and it takes tough love to challenge people. Big ups to both Bryan for challenging Todd and for Todd to accept that challenge. We all need to hold each other accountable no matter how uncomfortable it may be.
Bryant saying "don't say 'well' " is out of line. You don't tell someone what to say or not say. Todd is a grown man here with a mind of his own. It's disrespectful for Bryant to try dictating his words and reactions. Todd did a good job not losing his focus and cool against Bryant's confrontational presentation.
I wonder what would have happened if Bryant would have interviewed Gary Coleman, and tried to push his buttons? I don't know how Gary was doing at that point and time though, that was way back then.
I remember seeing this interview when it originally aired and admiring the way Todd Bridges handled himself in this interview. I hated the way Bryant Gumbel came at him..
Todd Bridges shows so much cool in that interview. I love how he says thanks be to God. Not so keen on the interviewer. He is obviously very judgmental and already made up his mind about Todd.
For someone who's older than Todd and supposedly has interviewed and has more experience as an adult, Todd actually looked to be the smarter of the two. Interesting. Show's that Todd was a lot more matured that Gumble, or should i say Gumby? Todd schooled Gumby. Wow. Impressive, and this was way back in 1991. Damn.
Good on you Todd you spoke very well good to see you own your life and know where it's taking you 👍As for that reporter clown you need to learn a bit of diplomacy and lose the attitude and agenda and actually listen to what Todd was telling you ! Todd should have given you a piece of his mind and walked out on you I certainly would have !
I love the way Todd handled this interview! Those of you saying Gumble was being too hard are either too young or don't remember that this is the way good journalism was back in the day. These days people are coddled.
Man this guy was sooooo rude to todd bridges and the cast of strokes but he kept his head up. being rich and famous had nothing to do with these people's problems. Todd Bridges was abused. dana plato had depression. Gary Coleman was born with illness and battled it all his life. Their fame had nothing to do with it. their problems were rooted long before "strokes", and followed them long after. this guy needs to shut up.
Bryant just wanted a reaction out of someone with a bad rep that had cast mates who were easy to fester or the powers that be wanted him to rough Todd up for giving them a bad name
In Hollywood you have to be practically a rock and able to take on anything. Todd prove he can even handle annoying and nosey Bryant Gumble and kill him with niceness. Good job Bridges.
i see Todd is this close to biting off Bryant's head, LOL, with asking all these crazy questions and going off subject. don't attack Todd, because of what he did. da fuck is wrong with u, Bryant?
I love how these "stars" who always have the spot light on them are constantly being railroaded to sell a story line and to make money off of controversy. Its too bad these actors and musicians and entertainers don't realize when they get in to the industry that they will be used and abused to make money, even if it means slandering their name and destroying their livelihood. The entertainment industry is all about degradation of humanity and it's sad to see these people get into the "industry" and their livelihood is thrown to the curb regardless of how much money they make. They more research you do the more realize how sick it really is
Todd Bridges was so professional in this interview! I love him! 😘😘
Vannie3000 OMG.......YES!! He didn't sweat one bit
Ikr right I would of told Bryant fumbel where to go if I was Todd. God he was such a jerk on how he was interviewing Todd.
Yesss he was
Todd full of shit in this interview
Stop simping and being thirsty
HE TORE BRYANT GUMBEL TO SHREDS WITH HIS PATIENT INTELLECTUAL ANSWERS. BRAVO TODD
Yes Bravo to Mr. Todd Bridges shredded the interviewer into pieces . The interviewer thought he was going to drag Todd Bridges but instead the interviewer looked like an imbecile
He did not tore shit
Bryant gumble is nosey but todd bridges held his ground
Bryant did an in dept interview was wrong with that.......
Uh um...He's a REPORTER! Hello!
I’m so proud of Todd Bridges right now. He was so professional in this interview. He’s absolutely right... life happens to everyone money or no. Bryant Gumble was very antagonistic. I loved it that Todd called him a square. Lol!!
Bridges is a legend.
Todd Bridges is also a national treasure
Mr. Bridges as a young man stood up to that Gumble guy very well.
Todd kept it real and didn't lose his cool. Most people would go off on Gumble but not Todd.
Cause Todd knew he was a pussy ass cornball. Todd ran up in a crack house and shot the trap nigga and took his dope, you think he gave any fucks about Bryant gummy bear? 😂 yell
Bryant Gumble is So Trifling and Petty...and Todd Bridges is Un bothered.....Todd Handled him Perfectly!
Todd kept his cool on this one. He's still doing well and that's what counts!!!!
Todd did handle things very well, especially for that time when everyone was down on them. He did get into trouble one more time about a year & a half later. But that time saved his life... And he's been sober now for more than 28 years! He's living a great life now! He went through so much & he's a true survivor! He is one of my heroes! ❤️
He just got married 3 weeks ago.
@@essentialeugeneThat is so good to hear !🎉
Back in 1987, Chris Rock said, "if someone told Bryant Gumbel he was black he'll have a heart attack!"
😂😂😂😂
Truth!!!
Networth. He was really trying to shed his blackness at the time. Yet in the 70's he was fro'd out calling Joe Frazier an uncle tom. Go figure "in a devoid of bass voice" nothing is out of bounds yell
💯
Todd was not playing with Gumble. He kept it real
I cannot believe how aggressively nasty Gumble was in his line of questions. WOW! I applaud Bridges for maintaining his dignity and not losing it during this interview. Gumble is definitely judging Bridges through a lens he never had to use. Bridges owned his wrong choices. Celebrate and encourage the mindset rather than destroying it.

Salute to Todd - You're an inspiration🙏🏾👑
A very classy young man. Handled himself real well.
Todd Bridges is One humble Man😘😘 How can you not love him. He called a Square. Rolling!! He told him don't say Well!!! How can you tell a grown man what to say out of his mouth. That man was discusting
Todd keeps it real.
yes he does and folks really admire his honesty and he doesn't go drama!
Todd bridges in Little House for a little child he was a fantastic actor it was one of my favourite episodes
Very True.
agreed
Great, great ,great episode ...Little house on the prairie!!!
Laura said wow a genuine negro I'll never forget that line 😅

jenna thesingingdraghagdiva it’s typical liberal propaganda. Media is terrible.
jenna thesingingdraghagdiva His now ex wife once said she got tired of apologizing to others for her husband’s behavior. I can believe it
PREACH
I cant stand Bryant dumbel
We've been through bad things in life, but not all of them to the point of getting involved with drugs and dealers. I'm not here to judge Todd 'cause he's changed but He's a reporter and that's his job, unfortunately.
Bridges is the man.
wow! Tod bridges is doing great.."best success is great recovery"
Todd killed him with that contract bar!
I got mad listening to the reporter smh
So did I. He was so disrespectful.
Miles Barnett right?! I can't stand him!
THIS was a side of Bryant Gumbel I've never seen before. He was very unprofessional.
I have absolutely so much respect for todd he's so honest I just wish my brother could have been like him because he has died and he never released this until it was to late
Gumble was outta pocket coming at him like that.
Very disappointing.
I like Todd he really held his own
Todd handled himself brilliantly!
I too am impressed with how Todd handled this interview 27 years ago. He was honest, definitely sober and in a better place.

I was pretty young when bryant gumble was on the news did not remember him being so ignorant and rude...sheeesh😬
I almost shed a tear watching this,u can tell he has a pure heart, just bad choices,I just hated the interviewer,mad annoying... U are a Legend Todd bridges 🙏🙏🙏
When he called him a square Bryant Gumble got triggered lmaoo 🤣 💀
The guy interviewing Todd really pissed me off.
He's Bryant Gumbel. A Black conservative goof ball.
Anyone over 35. Knows this guy well.
He was straight up a JERK and really watching him makes me feel like he was a token black !!!! He was so disrespectful to Todd
Never knew Bryant Gumble was a big jerk! He shouldn’t have beat up Todd in this interview. He was pushing his buttons on purpose. Kudos to Todd for not losing his cool and answering the questions with grace and poise.
Bryant Gumble has an irksome voice because he has no soul. He sold his soul after giving over his signature to the Nationwide Broadcasted Clowns at NBC.

todd was a cutie in the 80's , the hell with bryant gumble !! im appalled
Well Todd was able to cross that BRIDGE
Bryant was going after Todd's throat. But Todd handled the interview well
You handle your self Todd from a SCale from 1-10 , a strong 10 or higher 😁
Todd should have gotten arrested for punching him in the face.
Still watching in 2019!
I know one thing for sure, I respect Todd far more than the gum ball.
Is he supposed to be interviewing or interrogating?? Damn, Todd shoulda pulled a Gary Coleman and walked THE.FUCK.OFF.👌🏽
I love the way Todd Bridges took on Bryant "sell out" .. . That wasn't an interview That was a desecration of his character😤 Attack 🤨!!!!! 🖤Todd Bridges.... Keep prospering brotha✊🏾
It’s been more than 30 years since this interview, and Todd Bridges was and is still absolutely right and Gumble had no right to say what he did and I’m sure today he would admit that he was in the wrong.

He called Gumble a square on the sly
Todd handled the interview so well
Todd bridges tha G.O.A.T
What's up with this interviewer lol chill.
We need people like this guy asking questions damn......I still like wills watching his show now everyday at 4pm didn't know about all of this the show came out in the 70s and I was born at the way end of the 90$ but I like them old shows.they are not like todays.
It's strange how Gumble seems to be getting his jollys and having fun with all this...
The best way to silence truth is to destroy the character of person telling it. #fuckgumble
Anybody else holding back tears....
I definitely did,it was so pure and honest,u could see through his lenses and owned up
“The best recovery is success”.....
Bryant Gumble has some nerve, with his skeletons!
Jokes on the rep! He did turn his life around
SHAME ON YOU GUMBEL
I AM PROUD OF TODD BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE MAKE BAD CHOICES IN LIFE I HAVE BEEN SOBER AND CLEAN FOR 3 YEARS AND 9 MONTHS AS OF DECEMBER 6-2023 AND I AM NOT A SHAME FOR TELLING MY STORY I HOPE WHO EVER SEES THIS VIDEO ON TODD AND HEAR MY SOBRIETY JOURNEY ONE DAY WOULD SAVE AT LEAST ONE PERSON WHO IS STRUGGLING WITH DRUGS ALCOHOL AND GAMBLING AND STEALING I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF TODAY AND I PRAY FOR TODD EVERYONE HAVE A WONDERFUL 2024🙏🏾❤️
He has definitely changed for the better look at him now , and great self control from not punching Bryant Gumble in the face
What he is trying to say is that he's only human and not perfect ..just because your a star ..rich..or whatever you are doesn't mean you cant make wrong choices ..
Bryan G went at Todd hard for a reason. Todd was always in trouble in those days and it takes tough love to challenge people. Big ups to both Bryan for challenging Todd and for Todd to accept that challenge. We all need to hold each other accountable no matter how uncomfortable it may be.
He went hard at him because he thought he was weak and couldn’t articulate himself and Todd told him that was square which it shows in his demeanor
Bryant saying "don't say 'well' " is out of line. You don't tell someone what to say or not say. Todd is a grown man here with a mind of his own. It's disrespectful for Bryant to try dictating his words and reactions. Todd did a good job not losing his focus and cool against Bryant's confrontational presentation.
I wonder what would have happened if Bryant would have interviewed Gary Coleman, and tried to push his buttons? I don't know how Gary was doing at that point and time though, that was way back then.
On part 0:11, Billy Crystal is at a podium speaking. I almost didn't recognize him for a minute.
Charges and convictions are two different things Bryant.
I remember seeing this interview when it originally aired and admiring the way Todd Bridges handled himself in this interview. I hated the way Bryant Gumbel came at him..
Todd Bridges shows so much cool in that interview. I love how he says thanks be to God. Not so keen on the interviewer. He is obviously very judgmental and already made up his mind about Todd.

Hate how judgemental and overly aggressive the interviewer is
Brian's really hittin his bro hard! Ease up!
I can't stand interviewers who are always trying to find fault with the person their interviewing
Especially Bill O'Reilly
Good on you Todd you spoke very well good to see you own your life and know where it's taking you 👍As for that reporter clown you need to learn a bit of diplomacy and lose the attitude and agenda and actually listen to what Todd was telling you ! Todd should have given you a piece of his mind and walked out on you I certainly would have !
GUMBLE IS THE SAME WAY IN HIS OLD AGE!
He actually sitting here saying anybody... Yes it can happen to anybody
Bryant is a goober. Todd handled this goober good.
I love the way Todd handled this interview! Those of you saying Gumble was being too hard are either too young or don't remember that this is the way good journalism was back in the day. These days people are coddled.
Oh Bryant: you come off as a Plaster Saint. Don't..
Bryant was being a d**k here. Glad Todd put him in his place midway through the interview
Man this guy was sooooo rude to todd bridges and the cast of strokes but he kept his head up. being rich and famous had nothing to do with these people's problems. Todd Bridges was abused. dana plato had depression. Gary Coleman was born with illness and battled it all his life.

Bryant Gumbel used to be harsh. Sheesh.
Don't fall off your high horse Bryant Gumble
Todd 😍
really great interveiw
Don't say well. Hahahhhaa. BG had some nerve telling Todd that.
HE IS THE LAST ONE STANDING STAY STRONG TODD I GREW UP WITH DIFFERENT STROKES ✊🏾
Todd handled this situation well. Not too happy with the interviewer.
In Hollywood you have to be practically a rock and able to take on anything. Todd prove he can even handle annoying and nosey Bryant Gumble and kill him with niceness. Good job Bridges.
Todd....
Handed that SQUARE and HATER!!
The pic of Gary Coleman Walking past a "Gun Store" sign, of the same height.
That needs to be framed on the wall of every man cave in the USA.
Todd handle himself
The interviewer is embarrassing himself.
DAMN
What's WRONG with that GUY INTERVIEWING TODD BRIG
Super angry for no reason
This was a direct attack on Todd's character. Too obvious. Todd must know something that they don't want him talking about.
I proud of you todd
If I had a $1,000,000, I’d pay $999,999 of it to have someone kick Bryant Gumbel’s ass
i see Todd is this close to biting off Bryant's head, LOL, with asking all these crazy questions and going off subject. don't attack Todd, because of what he did. da fuck is wrong with u, Bryant?
I wish Bridges would of beat Gumbel ass like he did Vanilla Ice.
I love how these "stars" who always have the spot light on them are constantly being railroaded to sell a story line and to make money off of controversy. Its too bad these actors and musicians and entertainers don't realize when they get in to the industry that they will be used and abused to make money, even if it means slandering their name and destroying their livelihood. The entertainment industry is all about degradation of humanity and it's sad to see these people get into the "industry" and their livelihood is thrown to the curb regardless of how much money they make. They more research you do the more realize how sick it really is
The entertainment industry also treats you like a tissue: disposable and replaceable.
I guess BRYAN is a cop here
He's DJ Vlad's mentor. 😄
Whatchu talkin about willis!! I wish😩
