You can see the pride in Kurt's eyes everytime he looks at his son, and rightly so. Wyatt is on his way to become one of my favourite actors, he is fantastic in everything he is in.
Another nepobaby
I thought Wyatt was corny before, but he’s doing a great job in Monarch. He’s honing his craft for sure.
people who insult with nepobaby are so petty and jealous and immature.
I'm sooo happy Kurt brought his son so we could listen to a southern Californian millennial talk about his feelings.
Check out Wyatt in 'Lodge 49.' Absolutely delightful.
Kurt has such an iconic laugh to go along with his epic career.
like in Death Proof
Listen to Kurt and John Carpenter watch Big Trouble in Little China or The Thing (DVD commentary), Kurt is just laughing at all the times John almost blew him up for a scene.
Ka-wham!@@Bonn1770
@@Bonn1770 hes had plenty to be happy about,& he doesnt hide it, a genuinely happy appreciative guy, loved listening to him talking about playing ping pong with walt disney as a kid, just sheer appreciation in his voice, just a great guy, loved the thing commentary, kudos
If you ever want to be truly Happy you first must learn to laugh.
Kurt's hair is ICONIC! It's stayed relevant for decades!
Kinda a backhanded compliment, but TRUE! 👍 😊
@@user-yn7yo1co3kMaybe if you go looking for trouble
I'd give my big toe for Kurt’s hair 😂
Yet his sons hair is already thinning
Kurt Russell seems like such a cool dad.
Seems like Kurt and Goldie are pretty good parents. They let their kids pursue their dreams, but also keep them grounded.
I met Kurt two years ago. Approachable and appreciative, more than willing to take a picture with us. And that mane is even more glorious in person.
8:37 - _"A little applause would be nice to come home to"_ - is such a great bit of improv from Kurt.
"Jack Burton" will forever be for me Kurts best character
Snake.
Snake plisken
My husband is paralyzed and living in a hospital bed in our living room. He watches *OVERBOARD* about three times a day upon request.
Yeah, my mom loves that movie.
Taking care of your husband👏👏👏👏❤
Even the Kurt Russell movies that most people have forgotten like "Stargate" and "Breakdown" are fantastic entertainment.
My favorite is "Overboard" the one he made with Goldie.
Perfect family comedy.
Breakdown is a hell of underrated film, great thriller
Kurt saying how Conan's actually funny and actually nice tells you what you need to know about most other hosts...
I did not infer that at all.
You always make a positive into a negative?
It's no secret that Russel isn't exactly impressed with talk show hosts.
It's like he's clearly stated what he will talk about and they just ignore the rules of the game so to speak sort of relationship.@@thedude4672
@@thedude4672 Nah, he just coming to the facts. Everyone else pales against Conan. And not because he reflects 1000% of the light back.
I've listened to Conan's podcast for a couple of years now and the two things that stand out about him is 1) he seems like a really good person and 2) he is about as witty as they come. Just like Kurt said.
@@thedude4672 I didnt infere anything. He used the word "actually" which implies the others, maybe not all, are just funny because its their job and they have team of writers around them and they arent actually genuinly nice but pretend to be because its their job.
Some children of actors seem like nepo babies but Wyatt has always felt like he earned his place. I didn't even realize he was Kurt's kid until a good bit into his career.
Kurt and his son are doing a smashing good job on Monarch series currently! Absolutely love how dynamic they’ve been in this series so far! Hope they do more together as I know they will separately! Love a father son duo on screen!
Yes I was super impressed with Monarch, especially the story and directing.
Kurt has always been one of my favorite actors ever since I saw The Thing for the first time at the cinema here in my little hometown in Sweden in the early 80’s. I’m glad he seems to be that down to earth guy I thought he was and his son has the same qualities.
Were you terrified going out in snow at night after haha
@@outlander234 Man, I was freezing in the theater! That movie was such a great flick and I loved the ending scene! They probably had turned of the heating to emphasize the environment! I think just that particular theater had installed special speakers for the Earthquake movie that was so popular back then. Those made the seats to shake! It was one of the last big theaters and it was sad when they closed that down. Today we only have one cinema with lots of small theaters and maybe one big. Our town is just around 120k citizens, that’s might be small in the US but here I think it’s the 6th or 7th largest city in Sweden.
my man melting tied to the bench scared the crap out of me at 8 years old.
Crazy Swedes. 😅
"Hey, Sweden!"
"They're Norwegian, Mac."
Kurt, Goldie, Kate and now Wyatt.., this family is keep on giving.. so cool.
don’t forgot Oliver. He’s hilarious.
Kate is a bit of a disgust
Kurt Russel was a pitcher at Thousand Oaks High School while he was starting to get Disney roles as an actor. One time he was helicoptered onto the field for a playoff game. What an entrance.
Kurt has such a great laugh. And it's great to see that he seemingly was a great parent and raised a good person.
I didn’t expect this interview to be THAT funny! Loved it
I will be forever grateful for the decades of entertainment Kurt Russell has made, especially Big Trouble in Little China.
I'm STILL waiting for that sequel 😅
One of the best underlooked Kurt russell movie in recent times is Bone Tomahawk. It is harrowing and just amazing performances throughout!
Yes loved it!
I don’t really know the popular opinion but this movie is absolutely brilliant. Shouldn’t be underlooked at all
I'm a grown man, but the one scene gave me nightmares.
@@papasquat355 RIPPPPPPPP
Most brutal scene in movie history 💀
A wholesome example of a big named celebrity kid coming out the other end normal, healthy and successful. That speaks on Kurt and his wife’s parenting ability more than anything.
Best father son duo ever. They are in monsterverse, Marvel and so much more...
Been a fan of Kurt since "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" in 1969. Wyatt is filling the acting shoes quite well!
Fellow old geezer here👍I saw it by “mistake” as Krakatoa, East Of Java was full. First time, at 9 years old, my parents let me choose which movie I wanted to see.
I saw it too but I also recall there was something in a cereal box at the time?
Can't seem to recall what it was now.
@@southsidejohnny5624
Circus Boy !
Watching Kurt look adoringly at Wyatt @7:17 is what being a dad is all about.
Wyatt’s definitely an actor to watch out for! He’s in one of my favorite Black Mirror episodes!
yeah him and denzel's kid really do a great job of standing on their own two feet. no doubt they got their start with their connections but yeah, they do good work.
And here I was thinking they used CGI to make the young Lee Shaw on Monarch
22 jumpstreet
Check out Blaze, he has a small fun part in it.
@@tryingtotryistryingWell Denzel's kid didn't really stand on his own. He and Wyatt have it in common they tried to make it as pro athletes but transitioned later, but Wyatt was actually out grinding while playing hockey. He was doing tiny roles in TV and film before any break. On the other hand, John David went straight to starring in movies. He went 1 acting credit to A list blockbusters. He got to where he is more for being Denzel's son than anything. Honestly he's just a bad actor. Horrible in Tenet. Just Google "John David Washington is a bad actor" and see what pops up.
Kurt’s Wyatt Earp with Val’s Doc Holiday. Priceless.
I'm still mad neither were oscar 😒 🙄 😒 nominated! What a travesty imo.
Kurt Russel aged incredibly well❤
He aged REALLY well at the beginning of Guardians 2. 😉
@@kevhead1525 de- aged.. Lol
I could watch these three talk for hours. Kurt's laugh is the best.
Kurt has one of the greatest laughs in Hollywood, love it 🙂 timeless actor!
Kurt Russell is a national treasure....Like Tom Hanks, you can put him in any type of movie, and he makes it a hit.
Tom hanks ??? Ya foo is disgusting … him and his Hollywood friends
Unlike Tom Kurt doesn’t play with kids on an island
@@shaunhittle6414 that's allegedly....just bc Epstein did it doesn't mean every person he ever had there did.....and what better way to keep it under wraps than to have people like Tom Hanks and Will Smith there, but they see nothing suspicious....and pretty sure Don Trump was there a few times....
Hanks should never, ever be made into an iconic, EVER! He hurts little humans!! He is a peace of trash!!
Kurt is way better than Tom Hanks, he doesn't Diddle Children on his private time
Kurt Russell feels... kinda invincible about being Conan O'Brien's friend.
I don’t get it
@adamoseas337 you don't have to. It's a Jack Burton reference, besides that it's all in the reflexes (you don't get that either)
@@K33f11 well now I’m going to go watch big trouble in little China! Thanks!
@@adamoseas337 Honestly, my favourite movie character of all time. Enjoy!
@@adamoseas337 one of John Carpenter's best!
The way Kurt smiles at Wyatt after "i jus wanna watch a Kings game with my Dad"
After listening to several bonus commentary tracks on his movies and watching this, i can safely say, if you ever try stand up, you want Kurt in the audience. Dude is easily amused and loves to laugh.
He seems like the type of guy, that if you got to know him he'd be great to just hang out with. It would always be entertaining whatever you ended up doing.
Conan is truly one of the best interviewers of all time. Such a genuine and naturally hilarious man who knows who he is talking to. Such a great interview, everyone was so comfortable and heard.
Happy new year conan
Wyatt looks just like him, love it!! Kurt is one of the unheralded great actors in Hollywood IMO. Those Carpenter movies work bc of him, he's perfect. Also, what other leading male with such a long career has such a good reputation - stories of Kurt being creepy, mean, rude, they do not exist. He's a very kind man. Sign he and Goldie had/have a very healthy and loving relationship. He just seems great.
Always amazing how nice and down to earth some actors can be. I love this format over the late night, interview desk style. Just chill and talk.
Kurt’s amazing laugh must be sweet sweet nectar to Conan’s ears 😄
That mic adjustment wyatt did for kurt says it all. That is a small gesture, but the volume of love in that act says it all. "Hold on dad; i can't hear you, now go".
Even Kurt's low budget movies were, and are, epic. 'Used Cars' - directed by Zemeckis, produced by Spielberg, is one of the most underrated comedies of all time. 'The Best of Times' with Robin Williams is comedy gold. 'Big Trouble in Little China' 🤣'It's all in the reflexes.' Kurt Russel is a Hollywood icon.
One of my favorite Kurt movies is Used Cars and we watch it once or twice a year easily. Wyatt is great too and we loved him in everything so far.
Soldier is Kurts "I'm buff now so lets do this" movie, very little dialogue but he spoke paragraphs with his badassness.
Let’s not forget about the classic Captain Ron
@@ryangraham7012"I'm not going to let you drink my beer! You want a beer, you get your own beer."
@@KaitainCPS Gorillas he said gerillas hugge difference !!!hugggeee difference !!!
Wyatt was an excellent John Walker, i have trouble not seeing him as the character.
THAT’s where I know him from!
Hearing Kurt and Wyatt's connection to Canada warms my heart. Which is important in Canada at this time of year. Thanks for the video Conan and team.
Conan...❤ you're the ONLY comedian that makes people laugh genuinely from their gut. I love to see it every time, I don't care who you interview they end up shedding their ego and having real reactions for a change. It's refreshing to see.
Not the only comedian. One of the few, though.
He's fantastic, yeah. Kurt said it best, he's *actually* funny and that makes him fun to chat with for so many guests. He's even better now that he's able to do it more freeform like podcast content.
Kurt is that guy. I often forget but he's been in so many bangers it's crazy. Bone Tomahawk, Escape from LA, The Thing, Tombstone, Death Proof. Django, Sky High and that new Godzilla show. I think I underrate this guy; he's been in a lot of my favorite stuff.
Bone Tomahawk!! Forgot about that one
Stargate!
You know what ol Jack Burton says at a time like this…
I watched Tombstone for the first time recently and he was fantastic in it. He's already a really memorable actor for me because of my love of The Thing, but I feel like I need to just watch more Kurt Russell movies. The man always sells the roles.
He was in Django?
The Russell’s are 2 of the most charismatic actors AND people in general of all time!
Kurt looks amazing. He's almost 73. Not that that's old, but he still is so handsome and full of life. Great head of hair. 😊
Didn’t know I wanted these two on the podcast but man am I happy they’re here. Kurt Russell is and always will be a legend. Wyatt Russell is on the rise to surpass that. Great interview.
„I feel a strong sense of impending doom“
What a way to an introduction haha 😂😂😂 brilliant
It is awesome to see a family in the film business with that kind of relationship. Mad props to them!
Wyatt is starting to have that John Walker body 👌
I love these people, great interview by Conan, as always
Its amazing that I have been watching Kurt Russell since he was the Computer wore Tennis Shoes.
It truly blows my mind how normal and down to earth both of the Russell gentlemen are. They just seem like normal and friendly people that you want to hang out with.
So many iconic films from Kurt. It's great to see him and his son continuing success and happy.
Wyatt just seems effortlessly cool, like Captain Ron.
Fantastic family. Kurt was a big part of my childhood, and I hope Wyatt is a big part in my old age.
Great interview skills from Conan, keeping both equally engaged like the pro he is. What an easy laugh Kurt is, seems to be fun to have around. How easy it seems to get into showbusiness for nepobabies; that being said, he really turned out to be a pretty good actor.
1:06 haven;t heard Kurt laugh like that since he did the commentary for "The Thing" with John Carpenter
Kurt Russell is such a cool dude
I love Kurt's laugh! To me, he'll always be Wyatt Earp. Did he name his son after that iconic role?
In another interview on this press tour Kurt tells a story about Wyatt reading the script for tombstone (at a young age) and pointing out that he has the same name. So Wyatt was already born when tombstone came out
@@dundigenous1 Ahh, very cool, thank you!
Tombstone! What a great movie and cast!😊
Great interview, that is a rarity. Kurt is not only the coolest but definitely a national treasure and that can only truly be said of a handful of actors.
I think Conan just peaked for me. Love Kurt Russell. One of my favourite actors, and I usually can't stand most actors these days. His son seems cool too.
Kurt grew up with my late father in law Arnold Jim LaPointe. A neighbor and friend in Springfield, MA.. Jim had always said Kurt was a great guy.
Same as Conan; I saw Wyatt in Black Mirror and thought how natural and charismantic an actor he was, that I'd love to see in more stuff, _then_ realised he was Kurt and Goldie's son.
Such a bigbrained move to have Wyatt play Kurt in the flashbacks from the Godzilla show
Overboard was one of my favorite movies growing up. I have no idea why, but I watched soooo many times.
Wyatt is so dope. GIVE US SEASON 3 OF LODGE 49!
I've been hoping beyond hope for this as well. Lodge 49 was such a uniquely bizarre, subtly hilarious, and endlessly fascinating show with some of the most human characters (and absurd situations) ever depicted on screen. The biggest cancellation travesty since Firefly.
THE WORLD NEEDS MORE DUD!
Kurt seems like he'd be fun to hang around with, love that laugh of his 🤣💕👏👍
Was introduced to Wyatt in the falcon and Winter soldier movie. I thought to myself, wow this no name actor is getting a lot of screen time. Now I know why. Him being Kurt's son is just icing. They are both amazing in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
I first saw him in the world war 2 zombie movie called overlord from 2018. His one of the main characters and was awesome.
they are playing the same character too at different life stages and while both having pretty solid stand-alone performances. monarch isn't a perfect show, but those two are really the stars of the drama. i care more about shaw's character and history because of the father and son's talent. its like they workshopped shaw together during preproductions.
@@audri8152 agreed. The show definitely has flaws, but the shaw character is great
@@remyd8767 Yes it has flaws, some big ones even. But damn, it is so much better than it has any right to be. I think if someone would cut those 10 Episodes down to maybe 6, it's an easy 9/10.
Right now it's hovering at 7 - 7.5/10 for me personally, depending how the last Episode will go. If it really sticks the landing, maybe it's even an 8/10. But if it fails... Maybe 6.5/10.
The Thing, Escape From New York, Escape From L.A., Tango & Cash, Big Trouble In Little China, Captain Ron, Stargate, Backdraft, TOMBSTONE. Just an incredible body of work Kurt Russell was in.
love Kurt sooo much. So genuine & REAL. One of the best actors EVER & his son is a great actor also !!!
I used to watch Wyatt play hockey when I lived in Chilliwack, BC (Canada)
He was on the Surrey team, our main rivals. There would always be a ton of fights on the ice when they visited. One time our goalie even threw off his gloves and joined the brawl. 😂 Sometimes Kurt and Goldie would be in the bleachers. Good times circa 2004!! 🍁🏒🏒🏒🍁
This is so great. I have loved Kurt Russell for most of my adult life. This interview only added to that love.
Oh wow, i did not expect that this interview would be so fun. This is awesome 😁
Wow I can't imagine how proud both father AND son must be of each other. Must be incredible. They both are fantastic in Monarch legacy of monsters such a underated series right now that more people should be talking about
Kurt is always smiling and laughing, and an honest man
I could listen to Kurt Russell bust up laughing all day. What a beaming sunshine
Kurt was in a movie with Elvis and later played Elvis in a bio pic. I think he was the best Elvis I’ve seen portrayed. Just great.
Wyatt did a good job as the new captain America.his job was to make you NOT like him and he did it so well so well in fact that people were hating him and that’s how you know you did your job as an actor lol
Why would anybody NOT like John Walker? He did nothing wrong and was the real hero of that show.
😅😊 how refreshing, Conan. I'd been away, sick of the format.❤ Love that it's just you talking to celebs. You with Kurt and Wyatt were exhilarating🎉.
How did I never make the connection that they're related... I couldn't think of a cooler Dad to have than Kurt Russell
Wyatt's episode is my favorite Black Mirror episode. That twist is insane! Ol Kurt is one of my favs. I grew up with Big Trouble in Little China and loved it...then enjoyed other roles like Soldier. That level of fitness he achieved in that movie was insane. I loved the premise and yes, Kurt didn't have many lines, but that fit the character, and it's much harder to act w/o talking. Non verbals are huge and he crushed it in that movie. Monarch with the two of them is great. Such a cool thing to be able to do and helps with that emersion. (as they look similar) Also...never knew the younger 'soldier' was Wyatt....very cool.
Just fantastic!! Great people talking about life and the awesome memories that are made with family. Thank you guys so much!!
Wyatt's episode of Black Mirror is probably my favourite episode. Especially because I love horror games it was great all the references they put in like the "Would you kindly" line from Bioshock. His performance was so damn good.
Love Kurts acting work. Always been a big fan of his. Jack Burton, Snake Plissken, Captain Ron. Great characters. Watch Bone Tomahawk. It's a recent movie of his.
I still remember the baseball training videos Kurt's dad made. Kurt would stand in for the many positions and physically demonstrate footing, catches and throws. A little while later he started showing up in Disney Specials. This was sometime in the 1960's.
Yea Kurt Russell is one of my favorite movie actors of all time. So many great characters!
He was an amazing player. Great family and actors.
Wyatt in season 3 of Black Mirror was incredible! That was the breakthrough season of the show. My freshman year of college our English composition teacher buikt her entire course around braking down the themes form the show. The episodes with Wyatt and Howards daughter; Bryce, helped jump start the streaming empire we know today 🙌🏻❤️
Both are so great in Monarch TV series.
Kurt is rightfully proud. Until I saw the credits in Black Mirror I didn't know who he was either. I think he will do very well, much like Ice Cube's son.
for me I will always see him as McCready, what a fantastic movie The Thing was(forget the prequel)
Conan
1963 - xxxx
Son, husband, father, and actually funny.
Kurt Russell is the 🐐
I'd give anything to see Kurt and John Carpenter make another movie together. I don't even care what it is. Some producer needs to just give them money and let them make whatever they want.
One more Snake Plissken movie. 👍
I think that Carpenter is retired
@@thedude4672 That means very little in an industry where you don't have an actual job. When you're a director or actor, you just keep producing new movies. In part it's necessary to do so regularly to stay relevant and keep your connections, but Kurt Russell is still very active and John Carpenter is a renowned director who does not need to do that anymore. If he wants to make a movie, all he has to do is make a movie.
But yeah, maybe he just doesn't want to anymore, that's fine. Would be awesome to see more from them both together, though.
Kurt Russel is an EPIC.. ACTOR for me …I’ve been watching both him and Beautiful GOLDIE all my life. I was born in 65’ so they both are part of my childhood and adult life as well. I’m happy to hear that their children will be continuing the LEGACY. CONAN has been making me laugh for a long time. KURT loves CONAN’s jokes. 🙆🏻♀️🎥✨🍿🙌🏽
Kurt Russell is amazing. Love everything he has ever done.
Until recently I had no idea that the same guy was the big bad in Goon 2, and was the new Captain America.
Well played, Wyatt. Well played.
Hilarious show. They're both so down to Earth, and Monarch is awesome. They're the best part of it.
"We really shook the pillars of heaven, didn't we Wang?"- Jack Burton.
After seeing both Russell boys in the Monarch LoM show, I'm convinced the family has some 'Hapsburg' genetics.
I think it was Goon 2 I saw Wyatt. Dudes a good actor. Think its Kurts approach that makes him and his son so likeable and believable. Must watch acting family.
