Thumbs up if you want Tommy Wiseau to do the hot wings challenge
👎
I wanna see Franco, doing Tommy, doing the Hot Wings Challenge Dude!! See how he plays with fire as Wiseau ?
Doggie made $100 lol
Yes!!
Tommy should be on Hot Ones.
"Move on, next question, hahahaha!"... I laughed so hard I ended up in a hospital on Guerrero Street!
Good story stinky
Haha, what a story Mark!
@@blinkblink1969 hahaha
It was tearing me apart!
Hes tearing you apart Lisa! Dont forget to say High to the doggie! I'm her favorite customah!
This is the most coherent interview I've ever seen anyone get out of Tommy. I'm impressed.
RVKMOVIES well they don't call him the last professional broadcaster for nothin
move on next question ;D
Agreed. Sam gets a lot of shit from people but this is def the best Tommy interview and I've seen a ton.
Tommy is so sweet - he’s got this almost childlike innocence that is so endearing even though you know he’s just talking complete bullshit.
this is what is called "genius"
@@КокоЙцукno
I would ask anyone who thinks this to read "The Disaster Artist" Because Tommy, is not sweet.
@@KaiIzuki well, he was nice enough to support Sestero for years))
He might be on the autism spectrum
I am totally obsessed with 'The Room'. I just cannot get enough of it.
A Who Snackbar me too
same
just finished the audiobook, it's just so oddly fascinating, like a bad accident you cant stop staring at, cannot wait for the movie
what is it about? i keep hearing about it.
nointro It's about betrayal, drugs, cancer, American football, tuxedos, psychology, sex and death.
move on, next question
etcetera, etcetera
so basically Tommy has no fucking idea what his movie was about and can't defend it at all, but laughs it off as if he fucking nailed every question. i love this guy so much, and almost not even ironically, I just appreciate that someone like him exists
Lofti same
Spot on😂
Every where he shows up he's bringing this weird but funny energie...And in a way he's never giving answers to questions😂😂😂
That random guy in the back grinning the entire show..
creepy...
I would be doing the exact same thing.
There's a couple of them there.
He's having the time of his life dude
What a condescending prick. He can go fuck himself. Tommy is a legend.
Tommy really embraced the theater version and the cult classic it's become. That's really cool of him, and he is basically saying, "Come see my movie at the theater with screaming crazy fans and join the party!"
Knowing that he was holding the ball during the interview makes it more amazing.
You gotta love this guy, just casually making stuff up as he goes, completely ignoring how ridiculous it makes him look or what the actual facts are. He should be president.
This Interview is tearing me apart
THE ONE
Hahahahahah!
He's right about the two cameras. The movie being filmed simultaneously at slightly different angles by two cameras, both copies can be used together to create a real 3D version of The Room.
The lighting considerations make that possibility difficult. Sandy Schklair (the unacknowledged director of the room) lit for the 35MM camera. They could do correction for it, but the film just isn't that dynamic visually for it to be worth 3D process.
"Too bad I didn't bring my underwear" - another line that only Tommy can drop so casually and natural.
Haha, what a story Mark!
you mean "whadduh story mark?"
anyway, how's sex life?
I gonna have to correct you.
eric wong that’s confidential.
Tommy Wiseau is that one kid you knew in school who started in 9'th grade but was 2 years older than everyone else. He'd hang out with everyone but never make any "real" friends and you just never quite knew what his deal was. He always had these grandiose plans that never seemed to came to fruition. Even though you managed to keep in touch with most of your classmates after graduation, no one knows what happened to Tommy. Rumors swirl about him being incarcerated, joining the Foreign Legion, living in the Philippines or killed by Eastern European drug dealers.
He reminds me of the handicapped kid who could always make anyone laugh, and was just a genuinely fun guy to be around.
But god help you if you found yourself hanging out alone with him....
mosipd fuck, that's me.
Hey! That's me there!
....Rumors swirl about him being the guy who made the film 'The Room'
@@danielbeaver3152 he was in a traffic accident I think. that why.
"Ha ha ha, it's your show. Next question!"
I just can't believe he is able to talk about something called "doggie scene" with a straight face.
the same guy who casually asks how's your sex life in a coffee shop
I'm worried that Tommy wiseau is going to turn out to be Sacha Baron Cohen.
I don't know if I would be happy or sad if that happened lol
Max Johnson NEVER Sacha Cohen is a brilliant genius writer producer actor he is legit
Tommy is a character who got lucky for being the opposite and a liar and kinda shady. Also hes genuinely nuts and deluded...and not the brightest bulb.
Come on really you cant be serious
I agree about Sasha. Tommy got lucky? he is a go-getter. he made his own luck.
weenore I mean, by all accounts Tommy was a penniless Polish-French immigrant when he came to America. However he came by the money, the fact that he somehow managed to become a millionaire is rather impressive.
Or Andy Kaufman
Very great interview. I thought it would be awkward. They are giving him respect while carefully balancing it with being patronizing. Tommy might not know exactly what is going on, but he's not dumb, either. So, kudos to this interview tactic. It worked on every level and got answers out of Tommy that he doesn't usually give.
Nick Jasper
I agree that it was accurately balanced between slight tease and playful respect. But sometimes you can feel that interviewer is pushing it further and definitely making fun of Tommy, wonder if Wiseau realizes that.
We know Tommy is...weird, is ok to make fun of that, but english is like his third or fourth language, making fun of someone who might dont understand what you are saying, is a dick move, and a lot of people does that to Tommy in interviews.
Move on, next question! This man is a legend.
Tommy should have his own radio show I would literally listen to him talk all day lmaoo
@53:22 Tommy: "I grew up with family, again New Orleans, EUROPE, whatever..." HE REVEALED FOR THE FIRST TIME WHERE HE"S FROM, YEARS BEFORE THE JIMMY KIMMEL SHOW!!! THAT"S HUGE!!! :o
he said at 12:08 "in Denmark we actually have...". crazy
Tommy is a genius. It's great to see a guy chase a dream and achieve it. The Room is a "bad" movie, but it gets a reaction. Film is meant to entertain. And that's exactly what The Room does. It's not thought provoking, well in a sense it is. But it has an impact. I salute that crazy guy!
Jeffrey Dunn I agree, he put alot of energy and dedication into his film career...I don't know too many people who actually wrote and produced an entire movie
So awfully, painfully bad, that it's absolutely great!
Yeah, you are right. Everybody should invest 6 milion dollars and pursue their dream.
Hahahahahaha is literally how he laughs
sana S it’s more like “Ahahaha”
Its more like AhAHahaHaha
That was awesome! Here's what strikes me about Tommy Wiseau after listening to this terrific interview: Tommy made a movie HIS way, with HIS own money. But even when a caller told him his movie sucks, he took it in stride and handled himself with class - even going as far as saying the caller was a nice guy". Remarkable.
Yes, Tommy is strange and has a unique perspective and approach to film-making. But stupid, he is not. To create a movie from scratch - almost all by himself - is an undertaking of incredible difficulty. Promotion, creation, organization. I can assure you, there's only a relatively small number of people that would even ATTEMPT such a project, even if they had the money to do it.
So you may think he's an idiot, a creep, or a crazy bastard, but consider this - his goal when he started was to become famous as an actor and director, and guess what? HE IS!! And don't tell me you don't want to buy one of those footballs!! Pure genius.
Wiseau explains how the film was carefully (?) scripted, which makes the movie even more awesome.
manuellopez1956
"... and then Johny calls his friend a coward. "Chep. Chep. Chep." - he says." :)
the room was something i shared with everyone i could convince to watch it. such an amazing movie.
move on next question
we just have gotten a new legendary line)))
I am the guy in the back haha
You look like you had a good time
OMG, this with a visual is a must see. Great, I'm going to relisten the interview for a 3 time!
Really great interview. I find it interesting that this was done before the Disaster Artist movie. It's very informative
Fucking amazing interview. Sirius XM should give TW his own radio show. Next question.
Probably the best Tommy Wiseau interview in existence. Looks like he's genuinely having fun and it doesn't feel awkward
You heard of A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, East of Eden, Citizen Kane, now you heard of The Room, that takes everything about those other classics and elevates it further to another level, acting at its finest that outshines any other, a plot so suspenseful that you will be stuck to your chair, nothing has been this amazing, taking love scenes to a new level that you haven't seen since The Titanic in 1997, forget Leonardo Di Caprio........ here is Tommy Wiseau.
Review by Tommy Wiseau
if Tommy didnt come off as being somewhat delusional, and if he deligently & concisely answered all the head scratching questions about the movie, people wouldnt care or be as intrigued. Its the same mindset as leaving art up to interpretation. Surely as a psychology major he knows that.
In fact this guy is either someone who got badly fucked up or is a social experiment
Exactly
Good interview, it must be hard to strike a balancing between cutting through Tommy's bullshit and humouring him.
a mic pole in the guests face...
didn't anybody, perhaps the guy holding the camera, think to move it over an inch?
lol
He must have the same producers working on Chip Chiperson Podacast. Complete idiots
did you cal the "tri-pod" a guy holding a camera ?
You know that really exaggerated impression that everyone does of Christopher Walken? Tommy Wiseau is a non ironic personification of that impression. It's bizarre.
Oh Hai, Mark.
Oh, hai Denny!
Hai Doggy
Did you hit her?
I dont think that he understands how rude and weird it is to say "move on next question" 😂
MyGreenCrystals I think he does. Weirdly enough, I think he's a lot smarter than he appears lol.
I think it's all a shtick at this point
I genuily think he doesnt think its rude.
Jose Colella Me neither. I think he's just a very eccentric person.
MyGreenCrystals hey. it's life
He knows that’s the joke everyone knows it called reversed hierarchy. And it’s part of his style in giving shit to other people like see Danny don’t playing to much it may not come out right. Oh hi Mark.
This interview had me in tears! Hilarious!
but it wasnt a comedy
The subtitles in two languages on the BluRay is gold. "The only in the world". Like the movie shot in hd and 35mm...lol
32:46
Haha - oh my god, that was great
''...was...talking about mine''
Doggie got paid. A hundred dollars. That was not my dog. GOLD
I've seen the room 4 times, it's so fucking amazing lol. I'm going to see it in a packed theatre on Friday night. ...now that should be an experience!!
I loved the interview, great job guys! Tommy Wiseau is an interesting person and has a very special opinion on life and human interactions. I found that the interview went smootly minus a few unruly characters. The fact that people loved or hated The Room is not important, its simply a movie that doesn't leave you indifferent. For my part, it made me laugh and i loved the fact that nothing made sense. Look at the world around you today... nothing makes sense! But theres nothing wrong with a little fun , joy and laughter.
He probably doesn't get sarcasm... OR HE DOES but he's willing to take it if it's profitable!
i LOVE "move on, next question"...that will be my go-to statement for every question that makes me feel uncomfortable
Dear Sam! I'm sorry if I repeat myself, but it seems that my first comment was not saved. Therefore, I will duplicate my request: if it's not difficult for you, then turn on the automatically created subtitles on this video! In English, of course. ))
I have already watched this video 2 times today and still did not understand more than half of the conversations. But I`m so terribly interesting and want to know - what you are talking about with Tommy!
And if there are English subtitles will be presents on the video, then I *(and probably not only me, there are many of us)* will be able to understand what you are talking about there.))
Anyway, even if I can't wait for the subtitles, I still thank you very much for this video, dude! I like this misty Uncle Tommy so much! it is very interesting to see him not on the TV screen!
Hello to everyone from Russia!!!
I've never seen The Room, but Tommy is an enigma. I can't wait.
I swear to god. If you don't watch the whole thing at least watch this part. 51:15
I’m throwing up my soul
I’ll say it prayveyTTly
I trust Tommy. Whatever he says is true.
This is the best Wiseau interview I've seen so far!
The cameraman is making sure the guy smiling creepily throughout at the back come into the frame at all time.
Great interviewing tactics really humouring, provoking while avoiding any awkwardness and pretty respectful ..I must say it's the first time I see an interview where the flow of the question and it's structure to be quite sharp and aware of the characteristic/personality of the recipient .you actually got answers out of Tommy and he seems to be really enjoying himself : ))
I understand preferring it to be seen on disc and at the cinema instead of streaming.
It annoys me when people say they won't or "can't" watch a film because it's Not on Netflix.
This was a very informative interview...Tommy is a very savvy businessman first and foremost along with passion for film and his fans
He's the Ozzy Osbourne of movies
I love how the dude next to him is laughing as soon as he starts speaking.
I think its so cool that a young Art Garfunkel interviewed Tommy!
Been talking like wiseau the last few days after binging this shit
First he invated two cameras at the same time and now two subtitles. Genius.
32:47
-it's a very popular show
-ah, thank you
what a unit
i cannot believe i just heard The Room and Pulp Fiction in the same sentence
I can't imagine tommy wiseau going anywhere without a football
I'm so jealous of you for getting that football. That's some great movie memorabilia
I did not hit her, I did not! Oh, hi Mark.
*I did not hit her, I did not. Oh, hi Mark.
Sorry, accidentally added emotion.
I did not hit her it's not true, It's bullshit i did not hit her, "Bottle thrown down" I DID NAAT!.............oh hi mark.
LOL LOL LOL
Dan 😂😂😂😂
We don’t call them sex scenes we call them love scenes!😂
I didnt get the part about his uncle, Greg said in the book that Tommy's uncle was a WWII veteran, what was wrong about that that Tommy corrected?
Anyway, amazing interview.
Tommy is a lot smarter than people think. You don’t just come up with six million dollars as an immigrant by being stupid.
Juliette Danielle (Lisa) was uncomfortable with being naked in front of the camera, so after the first 'love' scene was shot, she refused to do the second one. So they used the same scene over again, using some footage which was cut from the first scene, to make it look slightly different. So it is essentially the same scene. I don't know why he just doesn't be honest about it ha!
He's very prideful about the scene and that truth makes him seem less than couth.
He is not honest about ANYTHING 💀 he makes everything up 😭😭
"Litt meh strezz sonthin" 😂😂😂😂 Tommy's a legend man😂
I couldn't breath for most of this.....this whole thing was perfect
idk y but thinking about tommy singing a whole new world in the shower has me in tears lmao i have to read that book now.
Read it. It's hilarious, heartfelt and explains so much about The Room's weirdness. I also recommend the audiobook, Sestero does a killer Tommy impression.
I definitely will now
Tommy reminds me of filmmaker Fabrizio Federico! They are both like cartoons in the best possible sense
are u single? yes and no, 50%... wtf who is this guy
The only thing that rubs me the wrong way with Tommy Wiseau is that he's a guy who is being praised for making a movie so horrible that it turned out hilarious, even though it meant that he had emotionally abused his crew members, made everyone's lives (especially those of the actresses) a living nightmare on set and has spent over a decade lying about himself on press tours to make people forget about what happened on set. Don't get me wrong, I fucking love The Room but I'm starting to feel that people are going to start assessing The Room as an 'intentional' comedy, and that's very bad.
Josh Daly
No one thinks it’s an intentional comedy. Tommy literally just spent 30 minutes trying to explain his “deep and creative artistic genius”
Tommy is delusional. He has a lot of charisma. People easily buy into charisma but even more so when it’s an alien with charisma. Even when Tim and Eric worked with him, it was very clear that they hated working with him. He is very delusional. What do you want? The interviewers to confront him and call him out and shut the interview down? I’m sure he would get angry enough to leave, he is very well known for that “walking out” behavior. This is like trying to get information out of an alien who has always been EXTREMELY vague about their planet. It’s like interviewing any delusional person, you wanna get information out of them to understand better. We all know they were abusive to an extent but he never raped or murdered or did anything like that, those actors and actresses could have walked out. Not saying that makes his behavior right
Actually, the story about the two identical sex scenes is made up. Juliette signed up for only one sex scene. When Tommy approached her for a second one she refused to do it. So they had to use unused footage of the first sex scene.
NerDaddy - Actually she did 2 other sex scenes with the other guy.
YOURE TEARING ME A PART SAM
3D!?!?!? AMAZING
I'm a guy in Australia and I'm listening ;)
great way to end the show Sam :)
this is probably the best interview I ever heard.
I would absolutely love to meet him. Come do a Toronto screening, Tommy! Pleaaaase
I do think its quite sad how Johnny killed himself in the end. You can look at it as a comedy, but The Room is quite tragic.
this guys is insane... combo subtitles... english and french.... !!! the film is in english !! why would u need to rread english and french subtitles at the same time???? he says this is the only film to have this feature as if it's a groundbreaking idea! lol !!!
This guy's definitely from another planet.
How do you not understand Pulp Fiction?
Maxa Yoshiko It’s pretty easy to not understand. It’s not linear. It’s not conventional. Who are you supposed to care about? What part follows what part? Why do these gangsters not have serious dialogue with each other? It takes several viewing to really appreciate it.
move on next question
i love how amazing they are at making this guy think they arent making fun of him.. classic o&a status, . whookid is the man for the record.
Sam blew a good interview by having these two in there with him.
This man is so shrouded in mystery.
Tommy is like 'Ernest'; when he opens his closet doors you see a bunch of all the same outfits, lol.
Tommy is playing Chess and we are all playing Checkers.
4:59 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That's the Million dollar question right there, and somethings I've been wondering all these years.
Glad that somebody finally asked 💥
Oh my god! Sam compared him to David Chase. Sam should ask him Chase what he thinks of The Room. He'd probably hate but I'd just want to know his thoughts.
Tommy in his heart really believes his movie is good. He only embraced the fun side because it made him famous. He rolled with it. I am fine with that. The movie industry is full of fakes and phones that make big budget junk. Who feel they made quality.
Nicole's tone is so condescending. She doesn't get it.
LoneHero2 it's radio she's just giving it flavor
I am Supernaut shut up plenty of women get this. On the other hand, now that I’ve typed that out and have thought about it I actually don’t know any girls that are into The Room. Most of the people who get The Room references are guys. I’m also super stoned don’t listen to me.
Hole. Who would have thought
“It's your show. Next question.”
It's fascinating how he can be polite and rude at the same time.
I still dont understand why he shot it in 35mm and HD.... his answer made absolutely no sense
I've finally found the best video on TH-cam
