They've all gone and withered away. But Big George is still smiling and humble to this day. He might be the strongest and most durable of them all. Happy Life George!
This is the later Foreman. The early one was pretty surly. After the supposed vision in the locker room after the Young fight (when he had heat exhaustion) and his hiatus he came back a much more pleasant man.
You never know what you are going to see and hear when you click on a youtube entry. Boy, was I ever glad I clicked on this one. I never laughed and enjoyed myself so much especially at 3:00 in the morning. George is funny, entertaining and his smile lights up a room.
Johnny Carson’s greatest skill was being able to communicate with any guest on a one to one basis. It didn’t matter whether the guest was a pauper or king. He never talked down to anyone or up to anyone. He never tried to upstage a guest.
Right about that. He was also the greatest set-up man ever, especially with comedians who could take it and run with it like Rodney Dangerfield and Robin Williams.
He really reinvented his personality. I remember when he was fighting Ali, he said very little in public, and had a sort of reserved, dangerous demeanor. I don't know if that was his management advising him to appear like that, or if he just got more comfortable in the public eye later on, but you would have never expected him to be warm and funny like this early on...
i think the opposite is true, based upon what he said in other interviews. this was his real personality all along. his younger public persona was something he thought he had to do, and copied it from Sonny Liston. he basically returned to himself, showing his real self.
He accepted Jesus. When you become a Christian, old things have passed away, all things are new. I saw a old video of him. He said he wanted to kill someone in the ring. If that ain't a changed man, then I don't know what is. a
Met Mr Foreman about 10 years ago. Nicest most genuine man or human that I have had the pleasure meeting. Spent maybe 30 minutes just talking about everything.
My first introduction to George Forman was in the 90’s when his grill hit the shelves. I had no idea he was a boxer. Then I saw an old clip of him just before a boxing match was about to begin, and he had the meanest and scariest face I had ever seen. That guy was a monster in the ring, but a complete gentleman outside.
Class act George, lovable decent human being with so much integrity. I have been a great admirer of Mr Foreman since he won gold in the 1968 summer Olympics, and have had 4 of his grills through the years. (different sizes) delicious turkey burgers indeed.
George Foreman. Not just a boxer but a fellow human being that you would be honored to have over to your house for supper. George is a true American son.
Just a good guy and my favorite heavy weight boxer. He had a bad rep as being surly when he was younger. His real personality with his trademark humility finally came out after his defeat to Ali.
@@MidwestFarmToys George never had ANYONE stand up to his body punches as long as Ali did. Ali wasn't just a great boxer, but an intelligent one as well, AND most of all a great human being.
@@MidwestFarmToys Ali did that to many fighters! He very well could be "The greatest!" Plus George was young and hard headed, figuring NO human being could stand his body punches for that many rounds, and with good reason! Ali had his game plan and he stuck to it.
@@TJ-kk5zf LOL.....really sharp comeback....but what else should be expected from a person who lives in the past and believes everything sucks today. I really feel sorry for losers like you.
They recreated this clip for the upcoming Foreman movie, probably one of the best interviews George ever did during or prior to his second reign. The more he spoke, the more he resembled what he had learned working with and closely observing Sonny Liston in latter life.
The main highlight of the interview is at 4:53 which also became part of Carson's final episode. And yeah, Rodrigues didn't do well against Foreman which lasted only two rounds! So... 😅
when i graduated hs jan 73 i used to watch johnny every nite at 11 and go to work at 7-best comedy show on cept for gleason -sooo funny and who cant like ole george or ali-now im a sundowner-nothin to watch on tv-just ole tonight shows on you tube-a different time
When he was talking about eye contact and that he hoped Joe Frazier wouldn't look down or he would see his knees shaking, that was something he didn't have to worry about. Frazier was a man's man. He would stare a hole in you.
@@lynettepalecek3141 It is not funny for those kids. Kids need to have their own identity. When they go out in to the world how do they differentiate themselves from each other? Imagine if one commits a crime?
George Edward Foreman (Texas, 10 de enero de 1949) es un exboxeador estadounidense, dos veces campeón del mundo en la categoría peso pesado. Apodado Big George se convirtió en un exitoso hombre de negocios y un reputado reverendo de su propia iglesia. La International Boxing Research Organization (IBRO) lo ha clasificado entre los 10 mejores pesos pesados de la historia.
George and Joe Frazier have more class than 90%, or more, of anyone I've ever met, in or out of the ring. God bless them both, and if using "God" offends someone, bite off, then go tell George....
While working an HBO boxing event, Foreman was walking toward my friend and I. I said hello, Mr Foreman. He looked at me, looked at my friend, who is the same skin color as George, and said hello to him. My friend did not speak back and we both agreed to never buy one of his damn grills after that.
I think you 'would mind' after he hit you with a right uppercut! Well, you wouldn't mind at the time because you'd be out cold. Its after you came to, (if you ever did!) that you would be FEELING sorry! LOL!!!
George Foreman is a genuine human being.
I sorely miss this quality of television. I cannot watch regular programming at all anymore. RIP Johnny and Ed.❤️🙏🏼
I also can't watch current TV programming ! Matter of fact, I gave up TV in 2010. Instead I watch podcasts and all things on TH-cam from a-z.
Miss this Era
Same for me.
REG TV WILL BE GONE SOON,,,,,,,LONG LIVE YOU TUBE
@@SweetChicagoGator I am in the same Boat miss the old shows.
Foreman is a class act. Great sense of humor.
I’ve always liked Foreman , he was one of my favorite boxers.
Same here
He is a big man
Selling them woof tickets
Love the Joe Frazierremark
Christian Gentleman...all any accounts..
What a class act Johnny was and still is. Nobody can top his humor, genuine craziness, showmanship, talent!
George Foreman had a good sense of humor. Johnny Carson asked him "...is he a good fighter?" Without missing a beat George said "I hope not." Lol.
I wish there was a video of that.
@boxinghighlights198 No, really? You must be a relative of lynette's.
I loved to hear Johnny laugh, and right here when George answered his question Johnny has a good hardy laugh! Dang, it's great to hear that again!!! 🌼
wished more people realized how amazing this era was and try to emulate that energy instead of filling the world with hate

One thing that's great about Johnny's laugh is if something made Carson laugh like that, you KNOW it was funny.
@@jimdowell9030
Absolutely!
@@BMWMTEAM1 How is it that so many of us wish for the same thing but end up with the way things are?
I spent a whole day with George years ago. The sweetest soul I ever met.
You are lucky
Wow! That’s AMAZING. I can only dream.
Johnny Carson is genuinely funny. A real classic.
They've all gone and withered away. But Big George is still smiling and humble to this day. He might be the strongest and most durable of them all. Happy Life George!
Big George pure class.
Johnny the king of timing
He knows just what to say
We just saw the George Foreman movie and it was wonderful. Amazing man!
It was great I saw it too
Many of us never realized that George was so funny. Always smiling too.
That's what George Foreman was known for outside of the ring. His personality. No secret
@@samsmith4216 That and the grill.
Foreman reinvented himself. Before his retirement he was never seen as personable or funny.
Spoke to him on Twitter, he is hilarious
This is the later Foreman. The early one was pretty surly. After the supposed vision in the locker room after the Young fight (when he had heat exhaustion) and his hiatus he came back a much more pleasant man.
Only one Johnny !!
So many of us miss him dearly.
🤗💓
George Foreman is a good man and he is my favorite boxer … God Bless him
Gotta LOVE George!
Awesome Man!
that's cool, man. Glad you helped me find my way here.
@@heatshield Hi Bro! Thanks for Watching! Glad you enjoyed George - he's Hilarious! (Is he a Good Fighter? "I Hope Not!") 😂

George won that fight with a KO in the 2nd round
I was wondering. Thanks!
Hard to not miss George Foreman and Randall Cobb. Two excellent gentlemen going all fifteen rounds. 😅
One of my friends has a George Foreman grill and she loves it! I think it's interesting that George Foreman named all of his sons "George." Lol.

He became champion at 45 . Thats great.
you gotta love Big George! period.
Very entertaining interview ! Loved Johnny Carson ! ❤️❤️👍👏
I miss Johnny! His Guests were always relaxed 😌
Thanks for this post! Grateful for TH-cam!
george is a classy classy man
I am too young to remember Carson but man I love these clips. This guy was hands down the best. Untouchable.
I use to watch Johnny every night, miss him.
Big George
I love this George was such a good person.
He's alive
Johnny at his best😊such a nice man
Carson: "The fellow you're fighting. Is he a good fighter"?
Foreman: "I hope not"!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the great humans.
Johnny Carson could make every guest look Great. 😂😘❤️🙏

Johnny could interview anybody and make it entertaining.
George Foreman. Not just a boxer but a fellow human being that you would be honored to have over to your house for supper. George is a true American son.
How can someone not like George?
Miss those days. Carson was one of a kind. George is the gentle humble giant. Always has been always will.
How many comedians would give up their first borns to get the reaction from Johnny that George got!! Brilliant response!
"Now, is he a good fighter?"
"I hope not" 🤣🤣🤣
Just a good guy and my favorite heavy weight boxer. He had a bad rep as being surly when he was younger. His real personality with his trademark humility finally came out after his defeat to Ali.

George looks AMAZINGLY fit! Goodness!
Yes , I miss him too.🥰
GEORGE IS SUCH A NICE GUY
I like Johnny he was a real pro!!!
I love you Mr George Foreman you are my favorite boxer of all time ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I still need to watch it. Foreman should be doing more TV, more interviews. Once he's gone we lost a giant piece of heavyweight history.
The main highlight of the interview is at 4:53 which also became part of Carson's final episode.
And yeah, Rodrigues didn't do well against Foreman which lasted only two rounds!
So...
😅
George Foreman is really funny!
George is hilarious
Hulk Hogan was offered the grille first but he never took the call.
And millions of people who saw the ads on tv came to see and like George.
I'm glad he didn't!
ahhh yes good ole honest Hogan. next thing you’ll tell me is how he fought 400 days in a year. or how THE Harley Race begged him for a WWF job.

5:13 great humor 🤣
When late night TV was great
No one who watched this video 5 years ago would know what a sigma edit is
FUNNY. Johnny being so “sheepishly” funny. With the whole ya know I DIDNT SAY THAT. Ah ha haa ha.
I wonder if George grilled up something for Johnny!
Yeah, witty comebacks! LOL!
Some jokes???!!!!!
God, do I miss Johnny Carson.
Was pushing his luck with that tubby comment lmao
George Foreman mentioned He pulled ( Lighten ) punches..Because he knew He could Kill with a Full Punch..
Big George has done very well...good thing... he has 8 or 9 George Jr's to feed.
When late night TV was actually enjoyable entertainment.
George was a gentleman in and out of the ring
It takes a huge ego to name one of your kids after yourself, but to name all of them after yourself? That is a universe sized ego.
Yeah that was silly to name all his sons George ! Ridiculous conceit !! 🤪
George admired Albert Einstein.
No Foreman made it easy for when he was asked about who he was leaving his will to he could always say he was leaving it to Gerorge.
@Mexico Spec. I thought it was funny. 🤣🤣.

One of the greatest of all time ….GF …..no doubt
So far there has never been another Johnny Carson who would make you schedule the time for Heeeerreeees Johnny
George Foreman is A Comedian

This is not the George Forman of old.
He was young and full of vinegar then.
Now he is a gracious,intelligent and classy gentleman.
4:00
Good black gnarly
❤
5:00 you see its comments like these that people loved Ali lol

I think you 'would mind' after he hit you with a right uppercut! Well, you wouldn't mind at the time because you'd be out cold. Its after you came to, (if you ever did!) that you would be FEELING sorry! LOL!!!
👍🏻👍🏻
Is he a good fighter, I hope not. Classic
In the video game department I like George foremans ko boxing is better than mine tysons punch out
When Ali beat Foreman, it's probably the biggest upset in heavy weight history: George destroyed his competition
He was humbled AND very thankful!!!!!!!
🍀
have you ever thought of going into comedy George
