    IN BILLY CRYSTAL'S OWN WORDS - “I had nine wonderful experiences for me, some better than the others,” he said. “But most of them were really wonderful experiences, to host a show and be funny and keep the audience awake, both at home and in the audience. It’s a tough gig, because when I first started, there were three critics - that, if you cared about critics, there were three that you paid attention to - which was Tom Shales in The Washington Post, Janet Maslin in The New York Times, and Howard Rosenberg in The LA Times. They were all top notch. Now there’s 2 billion critics, and they press ‘send’ right away.

    Yes, wow!!! I never saw this in 1996, was it?! So great to be able to see this now!! I just love and adore Billy Crystal!!! I think he’s one of the funniest men alive, or dead! What a great guy the Academy got to be the host of the Academy Awards! So multi talented, with his singing and dancing and his jokes, etc., etc.!!! Thank you very much, Billy and others!

      IN BILLY CRYSTAL'S OWN WORDS - “I had nine wonderful experiences for me, some better than the others,” he said. “But most of them were really wonderful experiences, to host a show and be funny and keep the audience awake, both at home and in the audience. It’s a tough gig, because when I first started, there were three critics - that, if you cared about critics, there were three that you paid attention to - which was Tom Shales in The Washington Post, Janet Maslin in The New York Times, and Howard Rosenberg in The LA Times. They were all top notch. Now there’s 2 billion critics, and they press ‘send’ right away.

    What a class act. The Oscars is for the stars and whatever we think about their politics or their private lives, the Oscars is for them. Billy understood this and poked them with gentle humor and honored their craft with his respect.

    as was Jack Palance for doing that cute entry with his "Geeerrring" (listen to it) Jack died at 87, 2006. I got the chance to work with Billy on "Mr. Saturday Night" as a Bowler...he was so handsome.

  • @thorguff

    Oh, the changes between then and now. It’s a complete time capsule. Billy Crystal is roll on the floor funny, yet the differences between what was funny then and what’s appropriate now is nostalgic and painful at the same time

    We're getting well into the 2000s now where looking back nearly 30 years these opening acts are becoming legendary. Big Jack, Clint and Al all up for awards sitting in the front row. And the magical Billy Crystal who possibly only 2nd to the great Bob Hope was Oscar's greatest presenter. In the modern era he was No1.
