I've never heard Feldman just talk. He's a surprisingly lowkey guy. Also, seems very kind and grounded. Ah, the old talk shows, when they were more focused on the conversation than just games and laughter.
Marty Feldman was one of those brilliant oddballs, who come around once in a generation. If we're lucky. We lost him far to soon.
(Completely) Different Type of Comedy; but I'd also like to add one Ernie Kovacs, as recipient; to such astute Remembrance Accolades. .
When and how did he die?
@ellegroover1050H e died of a heart attack in a hotel room in Mexico while he was working on the film Yellobeard. He was a heavy cigarette smoker, 5 packs a day. He was definitely one of a kind.
He was also a child predator and a pedo. Why are people thumbing this up? This is disgusting, this shouldnt have been uploaded!
He stated he could have his eyes and features adjusted, but he would have been a Cary Grant look alike. This way, he was unique. Great all round person!
Marty was so soft-spoken and seems like a genuinely nice man.
I’m almost 25 and Young Frankenstein is not only one of my favorite movies but perhaps the greatest comedy ever made
You are a wise young man!
ABBY NORMAL
Here is what "makes" this movie for me. They had the foresight to film it in black & white..........even though movies had been made in color for over 50 yrs. They had to fight the studio tooth and nail. The studio thought filming in B&W was a stupid idea. But eventually they won out and it was filmed in black and white. And it was absolutely BRILLIANT, because B&W really gives the movie an old time feel.
Wanna really see how great young Frankenstein is watch the first 2 Frankenstein and rhe bride of Frankenstein, then you'll see how brilliant a movie it really is
It's funny. But Mel Brooks history of the world, the original Porky's movie or Animal House is up there too. Remember watching Animal House at my next door neighbor's when it was on the movie channel back in the 80s and one of our friends was cracking up when the parade float that's said "Eat Me" was going by the crowd. And he kept repeating eat me our neighbors mom came in and said what's going on. 😄
“The funniest things are in the script.” Classy move. He was making sure to credit the writers. Some actors go on talk shows and say they improved all the best stuff.
Just the slightest little touch of British snark ...
He was a writer before he was a performer so I guess he understood the value of good writers.
Oh hush, you don't need to dog someone to praise another.
A movie can be funny without improv, but improv can't save an unfunny script.
That particular film was written/directed/produced by Mel Brooks & Gene Wilder, I believe, so it probably didn't hurt to throw around nice comments about the movie. By all accounts, though, they all had a blast making that movie. 😂
Love that Marty Feldman used the word “mishagus” - a Yiddish word for nonsense. 😂❤
Feldman was a gift, passed so young. Carson always brings out the best. Thank you for this
5 packs a day will do it to ya
I grew up watching the Carson show and I forgot how gracious he was interviewing actors and pop figures, . Marty Feldman was such a cool guy , we need more people like Marty today so sad these guys are no longer around.i guess life goes on.
That doesn't mean we can't mourn the death of a pretty great Yesterday.
zzzzzzzz.....
There’s more entertainment value in these small clips then all three of the late night shows put together of today.
Four early late shows= counting cable, not three.
And, the one on cable gets higher numbers than any of the three on the broadcasts.
Its also the most unpredictable and offers another viewpoint not found on the broadcasts.
I prefer David Letterman but - ah to each his own 🤩😄
You can say that 10 times and it wouldn't be an overstatement!
😂 SO. TRUE.
One of the most talented actors of his time.
Abby someone, Abby-norrrmal. 😂🤣
That’s one of the funniest lines of all time!🎉
..... he's going to be very popular...😂😂😂😂😂😂🔥💥🔥🔥❤️💕
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!🤣😂🤣
One of three or four lines in Young Frankenstein that if delivered by anyone else but Marty would have fallen completely flat.
His comedic delivery was impeccable.
His performances on 1960's BBC comedy shows with the likes of John Cleese and others are memorably hilarious.
(Marty Feldman) "Ixnay on the ottenray." BWAHAHAHAHA!!!🤣😂🤣🤣
"How are you doing?" "I don't know. I'm not a critic." That was pretty quick (unless of course it is an old gag).
I'm in my 60s, and I've never heard it before.
@@MrMenefrego1 I've not,either. But whether rehearsed and staged or not it is not without accuracy and humor for sure. Funniest to me is his comment to Johnny's statement And Ann Margaret is in the film...Yes, they are! Had to cc to read it,though. 🤣🤣
Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags? - Soitainly. You take the blonde, I'll take the one in the turban.
I think it was John Cleese who suggested Marty participate in a sketch. David Frost asked whether he’ll be funny. To which John replied “Well look at him!” And the rest is history.
Feldman had a summer variety show and I could never stop laughing. He was brilliant and when he died I was shocked and saddened.
I remember, it was hilarious. 1972. The animated credits were done by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame. Apparently it’s not available.
I remember that show! It was hilarious!
I loved that show
Johnny: Two grown men playing Desk.
Marty: This desk is not tuned.
Johnny: Normally it's a B-flat desk.
Great to see American and British humour play off each other.
So wonderful to see Marty, out of character, relaxed, among friends and admirers, being his charming self. Such a marvelous, genuine entertainer who cemented his own iconic style of comedy. JC does it again!
Well said!
@@bonzoleum he really was the Buster Keaton of modern comedy (minus the terrifying stunts) Marty could make you laugh without saying a word!
And with normal eye bulging
Such a soft spoken man who was crazy characters in so many movies and television
@@jmadratzhe had Graves Disease
There will never be another Johnny Carson. The human SEWAGE on late night television now aren't good enough to even lick Johnny's feet were he still alive.
I always loved Marty, but never saw him interviewed...Thx Once Again J.C. Miss you both!
Nothing like watching a little Johnny Carson to brighten up your day, while the world is going to s***.
🍺😁👍
It's okay to curse on the internet
I'd never seen him.out of character. What a gentle soul
'Walk this way.' Aerosmith had the idea for the song after watching Young Frankenstein.
Marty Feldman was a BRILLIANT comedic actor. "Young Frankenstein" wouldn't have been as funny without him. Sure wish he was around longer to make more of his GREAT films.
Young Frankenstein is a great, great, film! So many terrific scenes.
I think it's the best of all Mel Brooks's movies, and he made a lot of dynamite movies. If I were to compile a list of Most Quotable Movies, *Young Frankenstein* and *Casablanca* would be duking it out for the #2 spot. What's my #1 Most Quotable Movie? *The Princess Bride* of course!
BLUKA 😂
@@MACHOO179 You mean "Blucher."
Sedagive?! Lol
Sedative! Brilliant stuff from Mel Brooks. He, along with Marty Feldman we both absolute geniuses xxxxxxx
I miss Marty Feldman, saw a movie of his along w/his young son. The son looked like his father. Best movie he made, Young Frankenstein.
It's 2024 and Mel Brooks is still kicking.
To me the definition of comedy is the "Puttin' on the Ritz" dance no. from Young Frankie ❤
Ya, I kept playing that clip to my mother-in-law after she had a (minor) stroke. That and shopping for wheelchairs with my son-in-laws offering to pitch in for a speak-and-spell, eventually made her seeks treatment (stubborn).
Marty had such a brilliant wit delivered so subtly, it sometimes escaped the audience.
I noticed that also. He is also much more outspoken than I thought he would. I don't know if the audience couldn't hear him, or just didn't pick up on all of his humorous quips.
"You take the blond, I'll take the one in the turbin" and Madeline Kahn's scream when Feldman bit at her fox fur...priceless.
I love that scene too
I always thought it was a dog bark lol
Brilliantly Funny I saw it in 1974 I Was Only 15. As A 63 Year Old, I Know This Movies Is Pure Comedy Genius
"It's a b-flat desk" - NO ONE in the audience caught that - utter genius.
Wonderful man gone way too soon, that Mr Feldman.
I remember an interview of Marty. They asked if he ever felt his eye condition held him back. He said, without it I would never have been famous. Fun seeing him "out of character". Seems like a nice person.
After What's Up, Doc? (1972) Young Frankenstein is my favorite movie of the 1970's. 😊
He seems like such a gentleman. He can you not like a person that can laugh at themselves as much as you can enjoy their humility and respect it.
HES A CHILD PREDATOR and a CHILD RAPIST. WTF! WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE???
GOD bless Marty. He was one of those unique and funny that made you laugh in this dark world.
Oh man, and Louie Bellson was off camera on the drums! Louie was a legend. He invented double bass drum playing when he was in high school in the 40s. Even for non-musicians, he has been a massive influence on the musical scene and everyone has experienced his influence.
“What the hell you doing in the bathroom day and night..!? Why don’t you get outta there and give someone else a chance..!?” 🤣
My parents let me watch "Young Frank" at age 10 and I got all of the jokes despite being raised in a very sheltered environment. Pure genius
What a too early loss Feldman was. Carson is always low keyed brilliant. So glad these are not lost. Thank you
He's so soft-spoken in real life, wonderful person. RIP.
The world could use some Marty Feldman's right now
Marty Feldman was a sweetheart. I loved him. He was brilliant. I loved the one season of his show the Marty Feldman Comedy Machine (1971). And naturally, he was more than funny af in Young Frankenstein! 🤣😂 OMG! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!
"What hump?"
"No - this way."
"There wolf. 👉🏻"
"Abby, I think it was. Yes. That's it... Abby Normal." "Said a give."
His delivery was flawless. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Best movie EVER. PERIOD. 🤣😂
Some describe Carson as a skilled host, able to bring out the best in guests, but if you watched him over the years, you learned that he was HAVING FUN, then just sharing with the rest of us.
I have read that he was an intensely shy person.
I guess the closest we are getting to this style of talkshow today can be seen on the Graham Norton show.
Marty Feldman was sadly not with us long, and when he was he left us with great comedy.
"Comedy, like sodomy, is an unnatural act." - Marty Feldman.
Is that what was bleeped out?
I really wanted to see the film clip. Rats.
The reason Blazing Saddles is my favorite Mel Brooks movie is because it has Cleavon Little and the reason Young Frankenstein is my favorite Mel Brooks movie is because it has Marty Feldman.
...I hope there aren't any idiot directors/producers who will want to remake Young Frankenstein or Blazing Saddles...you can't improve perfection...'74 was Mel Brooks' year of absolute movie magic...
If you took out all the politically incorrect stuff in Blazing Saddles, there would be no movie to remake. It's safe. 😂
Watched Johnny for 30 yrs. Every night. Whole family together.
Marty is brilliant and I love watching him natural here, but most of all I love he's wearing a Rocky Horror Picture Show shirt!
He mentioned Bruce Jenner, I would love to hear the cracks these comedians would say about his life change.
It's Caitlin Jenner, that decathlon guy.
I still see Marty in the scene from Beau Geste, in the mud, absolutely covered, then he opened his eyes. Absolutely brilliant!
Hated when he passed on because I was looking for more comedy from him.
He was also correct about Soccer catching on. Though I will always love my American 🏈, I do understand why folks like it. Like Marty said, anyone can play it. Great interview by Johnny as always....
One of the greatest guys ever. They should've shown the clip.
"Certainly, you take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban"
😂🤣😆👍👍
This was a great interview.....Carson could interview anybody and still hit it out of the park!
I can't remember the actual visual affliction that Feldman had.....he does explain the bulging aspect of it with the thyroid condition he had.....I think Jack Elam also had the same condition, if anybody remembers him. Elam was in a bunch of movies and was probably best remembered as the doctor who traveled with Burt Reynolds and Dom Deluise in the Cannonball Run.
I have Grave's Disease, it's caused by hyperthyroidism, your thyroid runs too fast and since it controls a lot of important functions in your body, it can be hard to deal with at times. My eyes have bulged out like Marty's in the past few years and my eyeballs have literally moved. If you cross your eyes and look around, that's how my vision is. Along with other problems, I have to concentrate and stare to read or see to type this message even. It's incredibly painful tbh and how Marty was able to do such hilarious work while dealing with it is a testament to his genius and talent.
Thank you for the upload. I thought Marty was overlooked so many times in his career. He was brilliant in a film called "Yellowbeard".
"It's a crock-o-dile, sir!"
Many thanks for sharing this magic moments😊
What knockers..!
Vy, dank you doctor...
We lost Marti way way too soon. A great and funny actor.
He was a child predator. We should have lost him sooner!
"Give him the S E D A G I V E." 🧟
marty a brilliant man, made the most of his lot in life, as with johnny an avid drummer and lover of music, a really progressive ideology, great writer, actor, all of it, marty could do anything he set his mind to.
An astounding talent who left us too soon. He made a career out of having Graves’ disease, so full marks for making so many people laugh. Almost 50 years since ‘Young Frankenstein’ was made, and it is still funnier than most comedies made today. Not politically correct, though. The Thought Police would never allow any actor to say “What knockers!” these days. Members of the “Our Lady of the Perpetually Constipated” church would have a conniption.
Mr. Feldman always had an interesting view of things.
🤔😁🤣🤭👍🏻
I discovered Marty Feldman back in the early 70's with his "Wacky World of Marty Feldman" and then the very first airing of Monty Python came after that back when PBS was worth watching, Dave Allen, The Two Ronnies, Goodies, The Young Ones..great shows
I remember the Two Ronnies as well!
"Young Frankenstein" was laugh out loud funny, they don't make them like they used to. Mel Brooks was a comedic genius. Even his weaker outings (High Anxiety) was hilarious. And who could ever forget the hilarious Cloris Leachman and her Nurse Diesel and Frau Bluecher.
To me, YF was Mel's masterpiece, but most seem to think it was Blazing Saddles
Marty Feldman threw out 2 or 3 great comedic lines , that Johnny completely missed , because they were the typical British understatement humor.
Why the British think we don't "catch" their humor never seems to dawn on them that we just didn't find it funny. It's possible it's just not witty or funny.
The one about the funniest lines being in the script being an obvious one.
Marty Feldman always reminds me of Peter Lorre. Both stood out in any film they did, great actors.
Interesting story about Peter Lorre. He was part of the avant-garde theatre which relied on expressionism and raw emotion. He became extremely popular after his role in M, so when The Nazis decided to start going after theatre artists they gave him prior warning so he'd be able to escape. He went ot England and did his first roles learning the lines phonetically. He was such a brilliant actor.
I have never seen Marty Feldman in a talk show and had no idea he was from England! He was so funny! The desk drum was awesome!
I love how he is wearing a Rocky Horror t-shirt!
IGOR…….enough said!!!!
I bet Johnny would be shocked at Bruce Jenner now!!?!
Marty had so much grace and was just naturally cool
I watched The Tonight Show pretty religiously but somehow missed this interview! In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen just a straightforward interview of him like this. He is surprisingly soft spoken! A shock considering he’s such an out there, hilarious guy! Of course, Young Frankenstein is iconic and one of the funniest movies ever made! Everyone in it must have thanked their lucky stars for their involvement! Many thanks to Mel Brooks and the cast for such a memorable movie! And though there are many oft quoted lines, for some reason the one that has come out of my mouth most often is, “It could be worse. It could be raining!” 😂
"...What hump?"
Thank you for posting this video. Here, we have a sincere guest being interviewed by a sincere, non-political host. This is almost unheard of today where everything has an agenda. Again, thank you again.
I Remember when The Last Remake of Beau Geste came out on Hollywood Home Theater! (Pre- HBO) I remember using an antenna wire to "unscramble" the signal! Good times!
RIP, Marty.
I so miss when late night TV was funny and enjoyable and celebrities were actually talented and grounded.
"Hump? What Hump".
Sedagive?!!!
My favorite skit Marty did was entering the waiting room at an animal hospital pushing a huge box with growling coming from it. It was the only skit that ever made me laugh too hard, making my tummy ache. God was wonderful to let us see him.
th-cam.com/video/ifcMCS0IX58/w-d-xo.html
he looks like a rock star
Could be worse, it could be raining.
Fascinating guy
Marty originally didn't look like we knew him, he actually had some medical disorder which left him with his famous pop out 👀 eyes as an after effect.
The RHPS T-shirt just makes Marty even cooler.
Absolutely love watching Johnny Carson shows with all these great people. It’s absolutely incredible. Time capsule is the best .
"This desk is not tuned..."
"Normally it's a Bb desk."
Funny funny improv.
Wow he has been gone since 1982. Where does time go?
He said he liked playing soccer twice per week, I can't imagine a 5 pack per day smoker doing that very well for some reason.
Such a hilarious actor. Doomed by that eye-popped condition. RIP the great Marty.
Feldman was a heavy cigarette smoker for most of his life, often smoking five packets daily. He died of a heart attack in Mexico City.
What did you enjoy more, young Frankenstein or blazing saddles?
Yes.
Young Frankenstein had me fall off my chair laughing. But the original Blazing Saddles - the more you watch it the funnier it got. Picked on everyone. Even the Irish - "Not, the Irish". Being Irish-American, I loved that line.
Blazing Saddles #1, Young Frankenstein #2. Of course, they're extremely close!
@melissalambert7615 When that old woman told the sheriff, "Up yours, n¡@@er!!" I was seriously in stitches 🤣😂🤣🤣
@@MrMenefrego1 🤣🤣
That was cigarette box 2.0. Anyone who hasn't seen Marty's work in "At Last The 1948 Show" with Graham Chapman & John Cleese should check it out. Also a lot of fun in Yellowbeard, his last film.
I guess if you got it flaunt it Marty was a brilliant actor may you rest in peace
Blucher !!
Only Johnny could get away with talking about Feldman's eyes.
Johnny thought he had to lead Marty because of Marty’s soft- spokenness.
He really doesn’t get British humor.
Yes, we Americans are mere simpletons lucky to put one step in front of the other. Thank goodness the British invented humor, laughing and the occasional guffaw. Of course smiling wasn't the best thing for the Brits. Teeth not being plentiful or pleasant to look at. However, the stiff upper lip the Brits go on about kept those teeth from falling out. Perhaps all the laughter kept the teeth in disarray. Who knows.
Watch Marty Feldmans final movie Yellowbeard. You will be pleasantly surprised.
Big fan of Marty I like his humor always fun😀
I hate that they always cut out the movie clips in these videos.
Would it really kill someone to leave them in?!!
Same thing with Screen Actors Studio.
I mean it seems like it would actually be a good thing for whoever in the business has a problem with it.
Wouldn't it help people go find the movie and perhaps stream it or even buy it.
So dumb. 😡
