Wow over 50 years later and it is still a classic interview, one of the best of our time, what giants of the entertainment world. Ya gotta love the Irish and English humor, something Americans have no clue of and should ever be so lucky to learn a thing or two from this man.
Dafuq are you on about? Americans are HUGE fans of British humor; and have been for over half a century. I guess all I can say is, please, tell us you know nothing about American appreciation for British humor without actually telling us you know NOTHING about American appreciation for British humor. ...fer fuck's sake. What a clown. Spoken like a true idiot.
Your math is a bit off. It's not 50 years.
This is why I liked Carson a lot more than letterman. Carson actually had a quick wit and here he is not making fun or being unkind to the guest but making observations and thoughts that are humorous. A kind man.
Carson was put together on camera as a savvy adult in keeping with his generation, and understood normal boundaries. Letterman was callow, hollow and very shallow of substance, thin as hell on talent, and understood little-to-nothing about respect.
@@harry2928 Is that you Jay Leno ??
It's not just the haze of nostalgia: the 70s really were different. And way more fun.
@mdo686 What an odd comment. Tons of people had AC in the 70s. And people still drink and smoke if they want to. But it is true that the internet is probably the best thing about now that we did not have back then.
@mdo686 True. Smoking indoors was fun, although I didn't smoke yet in the 70's, and I quit in 1987, before the irritating restrictions really became an issue. I smoked my last cigarette on a Greyhound bus. Long time ago...
Less rules and laws
just watching Peter Otoole is fun,loved the guy.
@@briteness I didn’t know anyone with AC. We hid in the basement during the hot days or slept in a screened off porch. When I got my first house in 1984 it didn’t have air either,
I have had countless conversations like this at a bar. Sometimes I'm Johnny. Sometimes I'm Peter. Rarely am I Buddy. Sometimes I'm all 3 at once. My god, this was fun to watch!
I really like Peter O'Toole. What an actor, artist, and one-of-a-kind being.
I think he was an alien.
Least to mention he was one of the most handsome men on the planet in the 60s.
The movie my favorite year is the bomb
Handled alcohol well and cool.
He was no Huntz Hall, but the late great Mr O'Toole was a truly gifted actor and classy gentleman.
This is, by far, the strangest interview I've ever seen and wonderfully fascinating.
Johnny was a master at handling any situation.🤗
Every interview with Peter O'toole is like this. And even moreso if Richard Harris is with him.
Only Johnny Carson could handle this and make it entertaining....sure miss him.
Jim Mahaffey The best
And only Johnny could give the finger at 1:20 to all of America without anyone batting an eyelash
😂
I hear ya Jimbo.
I hear ya man.😪
markymarkr markymarkr There ain’t no Jinbo
Funniest line from Peter: "It was a journey back from Japan. We left on Monday, and arrived in the United States on Sunday. ..........................................which alarmed me!"
I expect Peter gave the pilot a little snifter or two.
Duty free Airways 😁🍷🍾🍺
O'Toole was the best. He lived pretty hard, though, he was only 46 here and looks at least 10 years older.
true, although it was probably mostly genetics.
He was a big insomniac too which couldn't have helped...
Lived till he was 89 or so, did alright considering 😂
hi-proof ethanol on the brain too long + lots of nasty tobacco carves whole layers out of people.
The desert sun
When I’m drunk I understand ever word Peter O’Toole says.
LOL
When I'm stoned I get every word Keith Richards says.
You're speaking the language after a few
I understand him perfectly and I’m sober
Peter O’Toole was a gentleman and a great actor. Yes he smoked and drank to excess but it was part of his eccentric and dramatic personality.
Péter O'Toole completely in the bag is far above a lot of people
Don t we all 😉🤣
Definitely Khaela. Take care.
@@ryanhodges7101 Thank you! Take care too!
So gorgeous looking and stylish in youth...damned alcohl and too many cigarettes
“And one doesn’t want to be discourteous...” And Buddy Hackett is on the couch laughing, nice.
O Toole is a genius ... three sheets to the wind and in total command of a comedic performance - completely off the cuff and improvised. O'Toole was riding the wave and Carson was right along with him ... the days of GREAT TV.
What. lol O Toole looks out of his mind, completely gone.
Letterman has a collection of similar material
I miss Carson. What a time to grow up in, and be able to watch him interact with such giants in the industry. It really was the best of times.
A time when people could be themselves and no one was insulted or judged. Carson was the best talk show host ever.
Best one cause he was the only one lol
@Stranded NYer and many people also , seem them at the hospital.
@@RicardoGarcia-kv8it No No No. I remember Merv Griffin who was very good too. In fact i was always watching The Merv Griffin Show so i rarely watched Johnny Carson. You can't watch two shows at the same time in the 70's. No VCR until the mid 80's...
Unless of course you were Black ,Asian, Hispanic, Jewish or gay
Hmmm. I think celebrities truly being themselves was the exception back then. This was also an era when celebrities were always "on" when appearing on talk shows. Many hid behind carefully honed public personas.
Johnny was the master of staying quiet and letting the show run its natural course.
Usually. He babbled through 80% of this one. A little too high perhaps...
He was an introvert, so he was more of a listener, thats why he was a good talk show host
@@ganggang3873 It's kind of crazy that an introvert thinks of getting a gig like Johnny's. Then again, Letterman strikes me as a bit of an introvert as well.
@Beanie Cugat II yep I agree graham Norton is the only fella who sits listens and helps along
That was a perfect description
I miss the days when it was totally normal to show up on a late night show half cocked.
And smoking
Half?, 😂
@@khaelamensha3624 Those flights from Japan are hell.
I go everywhere half cocked.
More like three sheets to the wind. Lol
It’s insane Peter O’Toole lived as long as he did. 😆
Irish roots are helping I think, at least there's that image of the very old Irish guy who just keeps drinking and it doesn't make sense that he just lives on and on!
M.E. Nyman, he was English, but held an Irish passport.
He was Irish through, and through his father expatriated to England. His father, for lack of a better term was a bookie, and apparently pretty good at it. He was raised in England in English schools hence the posh accent. I have no problem with the English or the Irish either way, but the surname is Irish as well.
Much like Morrissey from the smiths, or the Gallagher brothers from oasis, who both happen to be full Irish descent but raised in England.
I'm amazed he outlived Oliver Reed by 20 years
Ollie was 60, Peter was 80
This is like an episode of drunk history
yaaaaaaaas
I was thinking the same thing !
The 70's were fantastic! If I could choose to meet someone in their prime and me be in my prime, I'd love to spend time with Peter O'Toole! What fun that would be!
This might be the most masterful clip of Carson that exists. There is no other. Carson - is - the King of late night.
O'Toole and Richard Harris are the most entertaining and candid of interview subjects. Having watched these shows before -- some of which I recall seeing on TV when it aired -- nonethless, I find myself returning multiple times, over time. Because entertainment like this just can't be found. Today's version is like comparing a fine wine to a bottle of ketchup
If you didn't know of O'Toole and Richard Harris and you sat and spoke to them, you wouldn't guess that the well-spoken English guy was O'Toole.
Yes although as entertaining as Richard is he may exaggerate a tad but he's still a likeable bloke. What I love is how much reverence Richard has for Peter in his stories. You can tell they were very close.
And I don’t drink ketchup!
There is a wonderful complication of David Letterman’s interviews alternating with him and Richard Harris. It’s a treat to watch. Peter O’Toole had a beautiful and vast vocabulary actually rode in on a camel. This was his last time on Carson and he explains why on Dick Cavett’s program. I would have loved to hung out with the two of them.
Pissed he may be, but he still grips the viewer. Pure charisma.
What an interview! One of the world’s greatest actors. Eccentric (just watch The Ruling Class to see perfect typecasting) and clearly drunk and smoked too much. Would love to have had him round for dinner (maybe in the garden!). A great man and memorable actor.
Buddy Hackett goes full savage on Johnny smoking. Amazing.
O'Toole is so unlike the character he played in "Night Of The Generals", Great actor. Carson also showing why he was the best of all late night hosts.
but exactly like the one he played in My Favorite Year
Hilarious banter-Peter and Richard Harris-they don't make em like this any more-that entrance on Letterman on a beer drinking camel by Peter was priceless-oh to have had 5 minutes with these characters an d being Anglo Irish myself can appreciate the wacky humour-they are all missed-
I just to say Peter is brilliant here and I understand perfectly everything he said here, I have also been drinking heavily since 2pm today, it's now 10pm, yesterday
Peter is soooo chill....charming.
Stoned?
He’s so smoothly serene and articulate. He’s truly T E Lawrence!
Too much slurring to be articulate.
Peter O'Toole was the first Kieth Richards.
Alot of actors from uk and Ireland were always drunk. They've loads of stories about it. Theres a story of O'Toole and Harris being in the pub missing their Mark's to be back. When they returned harris went on stage. A woman said Harris is drunk and he said you think in drunk wait for O'Toole. Legends all of them. These guys were half cut and delivered performances today most actors need special water and other things on their riders. Wish we could go back to when celebrities were free to be themselves and enjoy.
@@thehillshavepiestoot And the legendary Oliver Reed!
That's so weird you said that! Was just thinking the same thing. I never noticed it before. The way he hold his head & that sly smile.
Apparently O’Toole could be a violent drunk who would hang out with a sycophantic entourage and smash up bars and restaurants for fun then leave a wad of notes for the damage. Check out Brian Blessed’s dark stories of the man. He pissed his talent up the wall. That said he was the original bad boy of fame. Like Keith Moon’s more insane Father. Other notorious wild men of stage and screen were nothing in comparison.
@@thehillshavepiestoot "you think in [I'm] drunk wait for O'Toole" Simple (and probably rather old), but very funny.
Peter was the real deal old school wow ya gotta love him😎
Strangely, Peter O'toole pauses in the most timely manner. For others it would be awkward to watch. In his case, funny as hell!
Peter O' toole one of the greatest actors...😷🙂👍🥂🍸🍹🍷
Should have won the award hands down for Lawrence of Arabia.
But crazy as a hoot owl
Not only a rare good looks but a huge talent too
hear hear@@ernestkovach3305
Holy cow! Johnny lost a bit of control over that interview and made the absolute most of it! Hilarious! No one else did it/does it like Johnny! Miss him dearly, but so grateful for the video retrospective and these clips on TH-cam!
A true legend on and off screen 😃
I loved Peter o’Toole.
He was a fantastic actor & a gorgeous man when younger.
He had a naughty side to him with those beautiful, sparkling blue eyes.
He didn’t pretend to be anything but himself.
Pity he drank to such excess.
Carson was a genius at what he did !
This is how interview talk shows should be..all natural...👍
They are in UK. Most talk shows the guests are drinking and are free talking
He's shattered. Embarrassed for him. He has wetbrain.
I'm in the process of creating one. Sidetracked by the coronavirus but getting back on track. Any tips besides this? What about interviews to try to arrange?
@@thehillshavepiestoot Seriously? The UK now has some of the most pathetic, boring eunuchs interviewed.
Love O'Toole he was brilliant and to quote a cliche beautiful. Id listen to him for ages. ❤❤
I never knew what a natural wit buddy Hackett was. He is ON here. Very funny chap.
I was pleasantly surprised. This was starting to drag until Buddy stepped in. It took off in several different directions after that.
Oh yeah Buddy Hackett was usually great actually
Oh, yes, Buddy was very funny!!
Criminally underrated comic. A true original.
White socks?
What a gentleman Johnny Carson was
This is the most hammered I've ever seen a talk show guest, LOL Peter O'Toole was great.
TV at its best. No fake Fallon laughing and all that bunch!
Fallon fake laughing
💯💯💯
Go Trump!
@@jimhardiman3836 loser
@@The0nionKnight sure Nazi
Hey....we like Fallon
Johnny and Buddy are at it and Peter is still the center. Charisma.
I met Peter O'Toole in my small home town of Babanango, Zululand, South Africa, in the late 1970's during the filming of Zulu Dawn.
What was he like?
@@eileendoherty5317 soused.
@@finished6267 For some reason, that does not suprise me. 😂
that version of O'Toole on rogan for 90 minutes would be an instant classic!
Let me start by saying I am a massive fan of Peter O'Toole. He was a mesmerising actor, a master of his craft, both talented and hard-working. He was a wordsmith, a scholar - his knowledge of Shakespeare was encyclopedic - a sportsman (who coached kids' cricket believe it or not) and a true gent to his fans, from all the stories I have read. I have loved the man for 30 years - ever since I was 15.
That is why I find the wasted, OTT sozzled O'Toole on the talk show circuit churning out the same drinking stories (with guys like Letterman lapping it up) infuriating and painful to watch. He squandered his talent, ruined his health, sabotaged his marriage and just became a walking parody of the hellraiser alcoholic with one stupid act after another. How could this amazing, incredibly intelligent and insightful man also be so bloody stupid?!
Cath Dodd: it's an enemy of mankind called alcohol.
ETOH is the most poisonous drug on earth. What it did to him illustrates that very well. He looked and behaved like my uncle, but my uncle was able to quit.
I know what you mean.....
Carson definitely the GOAT! Not a single late nite host has the split second wit/response smooth segue from one moment to another.
I used to watch his show as a youngster. Maybe 10/12 years old. Always caught his subtle humor.
Guy was a genius.
Blessed to have the basement TV after my parents were asleep. So many great old shows on Twin Cities public broadcasting.
All three of these men are gone. They were giants! we took for granted.
God, I miss these times; inpolitic, brazen, incorrect, beautiful, genuine times!
RIP reality, 0000- 2020.
Its all downhill from here on out. We've taken "freedom" and twisted its nipples till it bled.
I'm wondering if things didn't start going south in the nineties. Felt that way to me anyway.
@@dodieodie498 I agree, though I think the decline started in the 60s and somehow did accelerate in the 90s. I think we will compare the era we are in right now to the Middle Ages, where humanity was in a state of obvious decline.
The best evidence of our decline are these old TV clips. People were so much smarter and tougher. The entire current generation could be described as having severe learning impairment compared to the men and women we see in these clips. It’s like they were another species altogether we have changed so much.
@@dougthedude52 I agree. Maybe in part it is that this generation doesn't quite know or understand what it's like to be in a war or to be without a welfare state or to have to "make do". I'm not sure. It seems we are almost constantly looking to be amused or entertained by someone else. We have lost something somewhere. I do know that there was a certain way of thinking, and a recognition of what it meant to be respectable or classy or even just knowing what it meant to be true to yourself. I suppose you could also say it was grit. I don't think I"m expressing this well, and I certainly hope we aren't emulating the fall of the Roman Empire. But I do have a sinking feeling that we are a bit rudderless. Our compasses are broken. And what has been lost will never quite be fully recovered.
X's ten
cheers!
Johnny Carson is in heaven and I hope to meet him someday.
"when the guest is on fire, the host should say something"
Peter O’Toole was filming “Gilligan’s Island” the movie, and left his costume on.
Nice..
Haha! Hilarious!!!
Lawrence Of Arabia, classic film that made Peter a legend
Inspired Steven Spielberg to make movies
Thank goodness Wally Cox wasn't cast in the lead in "Lawrence of Arabia". That would have given the movie a whole different vibe !
Buddy Hackett with the white socks! And the interruptions.
in fairness i think Buddy was sort of trying to help Johnny with the awkwardness and silence.
LOL 😅
And O'Toole with the green socks! And the pauses...
Indubitably. I wish Buddy had stopped interrupting. Johnny was handling the interview fine without him.
Johnny! What a genius at comedic timing...him and Mr. Winters only!
Roland Winters was indeed a superb comedic actor ! So many wonderful films over the years !
A Fantastic Friday 13th episode 😂👍😎
Hilarious 😂 and a fabulous actor, yes we all smoked and drank in those days some of of us still do ! He was a very humble man and they don't make actors like him anymore.
Johnny Carson is so talented in so many ways.
They are magnificent ❤️❤️❤️I laughed so hard!💗💗💗
O'Toole, Richard Harris and Michael Caine, all best of friends and notorious drinking buddies, were the best story tellers on the planet!
The Stuntman is tragically underrated.
Three giants of entertainment just sitting around and joking. I could party with these guys all night long.
O'Toole among other gentlemen managed to drink a lot and somehow their drunk antics are rather polite and fun.
After watching this interview, I think that may not have been tobacco in those cigarettes.lol Also, notice the absence of ANY political rhetoric being thrown around by quests or host. So nice to remember the days when everyone's lives weren't filled with politics and social media ranting.
I used to love Randy Quaid interviews, he was funny back in the day.
Peter O'Toole was the voice of Anton Ego from Pixar's "Ratatouille", and I remember actually having Ratatouille a couple times. My older brother and I would come up with silly lines using our own impressions of his voice, because it's just that iconic. Rest easy, Mr. O'Toole and Mr. Carson. :) ❤️❤️
Peter O'Toole dressed like Gilligan is funny enough for a like from me.
This guy was the best host ever.
Johnny Carson say his name 🤡
This interview is Proof Positive that JOHNNY still reigns as the Master/King! Johnny really had to "WORK" this one!!
Absolutely hilarious the timing of the humor its brilliant what can you say boy these days is and i.mean sadly over
I am now watching Murphy's War. Great movie from my childhood.
Smoking on the set, ya gotta love it...
Easily one of the best interviews I have seen.....So random, so funny.
this is the absolute best interview i have ever watched
Man, that guys bombed out of his gourd in this interview
That guy was a legend.
This was difficult to watch because of O’Toole’s condition.
But Johnny pulled off the whole thing like the master he was.
The condition of genius is always difficult to watch because by definition it's so uncommon. You're difficult to watch for different reasons, but fortunately, nobodies ever seen you.
@@plentyofouts,
Trolling?
Waste of time.
Johnny asking his first question; Peter O'Toole looking around trying to figure out where he is!
nah just looking for the bartender
One of the great lines in the Stunt Man where he says, "I'm not and actor, I'm a movie star."
"My Favourite Year," darling.
i saw him crocked on Carson two or three times. Then i saw a clip of him doing a play in London, live, in front of a huge audience, and he was freaking great. He was alone on stage and had all these difficult lines and he just knocked it right out of the park. So, these British actors, O'toole and Richard Harris, they really worked themselves stupid and then got crocked when they weren't working to relieve the stress I would suppose. Understandable. They were great at what they did.
they're both Irish :)
What an amazing time to have been alive.
This might be the best adlibed off script show I’ve ever seen.
12 minutes of absolute chaos 🤣
Peter O'Toole was alright by me!
Amazing that Carson was able to get a few jokes out of O'Toole's incoherence.
My favorite actor of all time.
The best thing about this segment is Buddy Hacket
His best movie was "My Favorite Year."
Amen! One of my favorite movies of all time. 😁
Lawrence of was his best.
And "The Lion in Winter."
The ladies only scene always makes me laugh
You have to see Beckett with Richard Burton. He should have won an Oscar for that role.
This was 1978, they had been working on the film since 1976 ….-and it was released in 1980 ! If you haven’t seen “The Stunt Man”, you really must. O’Toole as always is brilliant.
Buddy and I have that in common.....anti smoking. It’s amazing how some people could lead lives of heavy smoking and drinking....and still live to 81.
"Stunt Man'" era O'Toole is the sexiest O'Toole.
The awesome skills of Johnny Carson! ;)
Two legends together made awesome viewing,
I am not sure what it is but possibly a combination of everything: better actors, better TV host, audience's natural reactions. Overall better times. Thank you)
Ok boomer
"I just think when-the-GUEST-is-on-fire the HOST should SAY something..."
(Johny's prolly the one who goaded Peter into "a few drinks" before the appearance.
Cuz they're old pals - good pals - this is fun for Johny - he'll never let Peter O'Toole forget this.)
Every once in awhile, I could stay up late and catch an episode of the late night with Johnny Carson, besides being naturally curious, i wanted to see for myself what the fuss was all about. I didnt it then but, Johnny Carson is the GOAT of late nights.
O'Toole is a legend
.. I agree with you Sir! .... Beautiful film....
Peter looks and sounds totally smashed. But Johhny, as always, handles it very well. Nice to know that Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton gave up the heavy drinking during the last few years of their respective lives. Peter went on to live a lot longer than Richard. Peter was 81 when he finally passed away in 2013 from stomach cancer while poor Richard was only 58 when he died from a brain hemorrhage in 1984.
This segment is priceless. But what I find really incredible is that O'Toole outlived both Carson and Hackett, and he was not that much younger than either of them. He looked close to death in this era. Apparently, he managed to pull back from the brink, at least back to a point not very far from the brink, but still.... Luckily.
We do it harder here and live longer...look at Keith Richards
Back for one last drink
Did he ever stop drinking?
@@obviously6thbeliever I think he did. He would have to have quit drinking to make it to his eighties.
@@obviously6thbeliever I think he quit the booze about a year or two after this, I don't think he had much choice in that decision but I believe he took only a drink or two in his later years.
love his laugh!
