Werner Herzog Doesn't Get Nervous When He Releases New Movies - Late Night with Seth Meyers
• Werner Herzog Doesn't ...
Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth
"I'm a fluffy husband" coming from Werner Herzog is the absolute best
That "admission" took me by surprise. Fluffy isn't even in the top 10 descriptors!
I've never seen anyone say "sweet and fluffy" with such a look of disdain as him.
Adorable!
“No more moody brooding”
I had a huge smile on my face watching this whole thing because I know for a fact that Seth was working really hard to keep it on track, but in the back of his mind he couldn't get the thought to go away, that he does a really good Werner Herzog impression. Throughout the interview he kept thinking, man. I've been nailing this.
the man has experienced so much, its a shame the interview was so short.
& kudos to Seth for plugging independent book stores at the end.
You know Seth begged him to make time for the show just so Seth could work on his impression.
@@jammielee4302 literally LOL’d 💐
It’s like no other director or even celebrity have experienced what he has experienced. so if there’s any arrogant actor or directors I would say to them “you’re not Werner Herzog yet. Stop being an ass”
Same here. Coulda given more time to Mr. Herzog who obviously was in a fluffy mood to talk more.
Normally, I dont watch Late Night interviews. This one, I had to. Mr. Herzog is a cinematic treasure. He also seems nice and fluffy.
A mindblowing interview, im impressed
We did a communications and languages course back in U and one of the topics covered was "Grizzly Man". What a piece of work.
Cannot believe Seth got Werner Herzog to say Kikkeriki. My jackal heart is full. He really cares about us 🐾
“I have seen it all and I’ve done wild stuff, so you can’t knock me out of my shoes.” - we should all be so fortunate to be able to say this.
Nothing can phase a man who worked with Klaus Kinski.
You may not be able to knock him out of his shoes but you can get him to eat them
@@jiveslippers1951 this. this is the comment i've been waiting for.
WHAT?!?! This is the celebrity interview I’ve been waiting for my whole life!!! (And I requested it in a comment just a couple hours ago. You guys work fast!)
Man won't evacuate the slope of a volcano about to erupt. Herzog: "If I must, I suppose I will dip into my French."
Seth has really come into his own in the last few years. He is one of the best interviewers and easily outclasses the clown the precedes his show. He genuinely listens to his guests, isn’t patronizing, and asks great questions that don’t seem to be scripted.
This is 100% absolutely true👍
Agreed. All these years of practice and Fallon is as bad as ever at interviewing people.
@@craigsikurinec7457 If you compare Seth Meyers to Fallon, you truly have no idea what you are talking about.
@@florete2310 how so?
He is the only one i really enjoy listen to as a conservative european living in germany when it comes to us television. Despite i get the entertainment shown by jimmy fallon, kimmel and so on, i dislike that the guests get regulary interupted or beeing asked silly stupid questions. Seth is really different and can switch, very professionell. I enjoyed watching him at SNL for the funny side of him and i like this serious side of him.
I think Dan Harmon said something along the lines of “Werner Herzog is one of the few famous people that behaves and acts EXACTLY as you would expect him to behave and act”. And i think this interview kinda proves it.
Even "I'm fluffy" from Werner Herzog still filled me with existential dread
Werner Herzog was already a legend in the 70 s making movies with Klaus Kinski. Amazing person.
Even when he’s being funny, Werner always sounds like the most serious person in the universes.
I guess a non german speaking person doesnt get the nuances. Its sarcasm mostly.
@@ninetendopesaitama2107 yes. As a non German, I wish I was capable of cognisant perception and comprehension of the sophisticated complexity Werner brings to the deadpan delivery of his subtle Teutonic sarcasm, widely regarded as the highest form of wit and brevity. Unfortunately being a non German it just goes right over my head. I’m not even aware when someone’s being sarcastic, especially Werner Herzog.
I mean what would I, a mere Englishman, know about sarcasm? 🙄
@@tacticalgrace6456 Dont be ashamed even a englischmqn can learn Humor! 😂
@@kalterverwalter4516 yes. I believe all nations & peoples are capable of learning humour. Even from wherever you are from! 😛 Apologies if the humour in my two previous comments was too subtle for you! 🤪🤣
He is one of the greats of our lifetime
One of the greats! If anyone missed his documentary on texting while driving, check it out. Pretty sad stuff, but i never did it again afterwards.
For years I have promoted that film. It should be shown in every high school.
What's it called?
@@staciehatfield3642 From One Second to the Next. It is heartbreaking. What is remarkable is that he got the perpetrators to talk about how they feel.
As someone whose father was a fireman and said that the worst part of his job was washing the accidents off the road, I have never done it. But I'm glad to know that there is a film I can recommen to those who do it
@@staciehatfield3642 you can watch it on TH-cam! :)
Herzog doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who worries about the release because the actual filmmaking itself is the struggle and worry. Once that’s done, everything else is easy.
After the film has wrapped Kinski is no longer trying to shoot you...
This has to be a recurrent segment, Seth and Werner!
Buddy comedy.
At least once a month! Or perhaps twice a show? Yes, let’s go with twice a show.
I'll be there for Day Drinking With Werner 😆
Let's call it "Werner's originals", where W.H. tells one of his countless incredible anecdotes!
@@ulrichmeise3658 In proper Werthers fashion, he can tell a story at least as long as one of those candies lasts 😂
Classic. For anyone who has seen a lot of Herzog interviews, the story about him having to speak French only because someone was about to murder him is classic Herzog... the number of times someone has threatened his life (including Klaus Kinski, his frequent star) is his version of really, really dark cocktail conversation. Seth clearly knew and enjoyed this. "So only because a volcano was about to explode..."
He's spoken French three times now: 1. Exploding Volcano; 2. Gun to his head; 3. Seth Meyers, when telling the story in this clip
Werner Herzog is so legendary to me
anything he says sounds legendary
He is a legend since 50 years.
That was AMAZING, Seth. We already knew your Werner Herzog impression is flawless, but to go into full makeup and do a split-screen effect just to make it look like you were interviewing him on your show? SO impressive.
Amen, like when Norm did Larry King on Larry King Live
Herzog is a genius and Seth is in heaven. I love everything about this.
Imagine Werner as your Grandad and reading bedtime stories 🤣💕👍
I would pay money $$$$ BIG BUCKS to see and hear Werner say: "I just flew in from Europe and boy are my arms tired!" 5:51. Those few seconds would be priceless!
I love that Seth ended with, "please support local and independent book stores!" Ik most people didnt hear it and were cheering at that point, but cool of him to mention it :)
This is the best interview... the whole time you're just in awe... and then you laugh, because he's genuinely funny and... fluffy? Yeah.😆
What a wonderful interview. Even in his greatness, Herzog seems like a such a humble, authentic, and decent man. I hope his next visit with Seth will be longer.
I've met him and he is very warm and lovely in person.
Im pretty sure most people dont get the influence and gravitas Mr Herzog has/had on modern Cinema. Legendary is too weak to describe his body of work.
I totally understand why Seth didn’t do the impression as this was a somewhat serious interview. But it would have been funny 😆
Damn, the impression was the whole reason I clicked
In my mind they were talking about it and Seth did it for him backstage.
I think if it had been a comedian or someone he knew better, it might have been possible. Check Tom Hiddleston on Graham Norton asking DeNiro for his permission to do his
Great interview. I could hear Seths inner impressionist just gushing at this opportunity to observe Herzog and his choice of words and phrase. Incredibly respectful. Herzog is all jokes aside is such a precious soul.
yeah I'm seriously disappointed that Seth didn't do the whole interview in the impression
What a legend! Wish he would do more acting, so good on Mandalorian
His introduction in Mando, first you hear his unmistakable voice before you see him, it singlehandedly got me hooked to mando
I came to see the 👶
The absolute best part is that your can now get a Werner Herzog action figure from his part in The Mandolorian.
The most amazing thing is, that Herzog said in an interview he had never watched any Star Wars movie, yet he gave the most convincing performance of an imperial officer in any Star Wars movie or show. On the other hand he was probably told "imperial officers are basically space nazis", after he mentioned that he had never watched any of the movies and as a German born in 1942, he probably got to know a lot of actual former nazi officers when he grew up, so he probably just channeled them, when he played the part.
Such a massive vibe this guy. The whole ex-imperial/ex N#zi-esque atmosphere was so overwhelmingly good. Gives me goosebumps every single time.
When he was describing how his book wasn't a direct recounting of events with the soldier, I thought his description was sort of the through line that relates many art forms to one another... or underpins them. Constructing something that isn't accurate to *reality* to bring more clearly into focus some aspect(s) of reality that you want to call attention to. That can be done by stripping away, or adding to; focusing in detail or expanding the frame. Very cool.
I didn't understand any of that but I feel like I agree with you 😂
I have never been more entranced and filled with existential dread at the same time.
Well played,
If Werner Herzog says he's sweet and fluffy, who am I to argue?
German writing in English about a Japanese man stuck in the Philippines: 'I'm sorry the dialogue isn't a hundred percent accurate.'
🤪
Similar to an international cast of actors playing Spanish conquistadors in South America, reading lines in their own language to be finally dubbed in German (or English etc). A classic Herzog set-up.
Never been so happy to stare into the abyss of existential ennui.
The giddy grin on Seth's face this entire interview
I'm pretty sure, from afar Mr Herzog appreciates Seth's Werner Herzog impressions. Because he appreciates perfection.
The minute I saw him in TLSWSC I was expecting to see him with Seth. I had the hope Seth would show Werner his impression of him
Love his confidence always about his creativity and the work he creates. One of my fave brilliant geniuses born in Germany. Very honest, down to earth, metaphorical and cryptic. Adore Werner in interviews, always. ❤️
I can’t believe Seth had the self control to not mention his Werner’s Originals bit.
This story would make an EXCELLENT movie. I hope it gets done at some point. What an awesome role for an actor to play, too.
Delightful. Could hear him talk forever . Good job Seth .
I can listen to him talk for hours. I imagine Seth was so nervous talking to him. I know talk show hosts always have a fake laugh but his are so genuine here
I spent 4 days at Maestro Herzog's Rogue Film School in 2011: it was one of most fascinating & enjoyable weeks of my life. i remember it vividly, like it was only yesterday!..
beautiful to see Werner with the Harm shout out
Ooo the honesty....ty ty ty Much Love💗💪💕
I highly recommend his film "Fitzcarraldo" from 1982 and the dokumentary about making that movie "Burden of Dreams" I have been an fan of him since they fed this to me at film school.
Think Coppola had an hard time making Apocalypse Now, this is an close second.
th-cam.com/video/K4Fq9476Dyg/w-d-xo.html
- The Fitzcarraldo Documentary "Burden of Dreams" by Werner Herzog
I remember seeing Siskel & Eberts review of Fitz. Crazy Klaus Kinski
He had a hard time making every film he did with Kinski, mainly because Kinski was a lunatic.
... Wasn't Mick Jagger in that, or supposed to be in it before the jungle took over the set, script & schedule?
Wow thanks Seth and crew. GREAT interview. I recall when Onado came out of the jungle.. 4:38 Yes.
They are so good together, that NOW I wanna see them two having their own show. Or now they have to make a podcast.
An incredible film maker and voice actor. I love his passion for crafting and telling an important story.
The show 'Archer' did an episode called 'The Holdout' that was partially based on Hiroo Onada in season six - episode one.
Can't wait for the book.
This man is an international treasure.
Where the Green Ants Dream is a masterpiece everyone should see, among many others. He's a genius whom most Americans still don't really know. So glad to see he's still making movies.
It seems like a fascinating and incredible story that I hope Herzog makes a film out it. There's another story heard about a woman surviving a plane exploding in mid air and falling into a jungle several hundred feet below while still strapped to her seat. She trekked through the jungle, surviving this unbelievable event, and then I thought: How has Herzog not made a film of this? It turns out he did make a documentary about it. The title slips my mind but a quick look as his filmography you'd find it. Herzog seems drawn to these stories of humanity confronting Nature.
Like that's not what happened in JURASSIC WORLD???
Wings of Hope. The plane was struck by lightning and this one woman was the sole survivor.
I saw that movie but didn't recall it being anything great. At the time I was obsessed with Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo, but he doesn't always resonate with me unfortunately
loved this interview, so fun to listen to
Great interview, thanks Seth.
I just love Herzog. Loved Cave of Forgotten Dreams. It played in only one theater in my area - but I got to see it 3D twice. My ultimate fav 3D movie I ever seen --- Felt like I right there walking with them in the cave. Seen it in 2D and still loved it.
His suicidal penguin still gets to me.
I’ve heard German accents spoken by many people, but with Mr. Herzog tone of voice, it’s absolutely delightful to hear. 🥲
Love him!
This was one of the best late night show interviews I've ever seen.
Love this man. Besides his fabulous films, he's a very sincere and takes his work very seriously. And he is very humane.
But he doesn't take himself seriously at all.
Did y'all notice that Seth didn't once mention the Werner Herzog/Werther's candy quips he's done on the show.
He's such a charming man.
Loved the cave paintings documentary he did. Amazing. Ah-mazing!
"The only way I will speak French is if a gun is pointed at my junk. Or if a volcano is about to explode. Otherwise, no."
That he's embarrassed that he staged an opera and calls it an "odd job" is funny. Underrated as a humorist.
The fun listening to this man invokes in me is hard to describe.
the man is a global treasure
I could listen to him talk all day.
I love that there was some secret crossover here. Soon, this show will be only references to Corrections.
He talks English just like my grandmother. It’s like they’re twins.
I love that he just never noticed that John Waters was gay.
He must have been reeeeally focused on the project at hand...
@@LindaC616 he simply saw him as a brave filmmaker and a good friend. Hard to argue with that specificity.
Legend. Legend. Legend.
That's funny kikiriki is also what roosters say in Spanish...
I genuinely love this guy.
I just bought the audiobook! Awesome!
Impecable timing with all the Werner Herzog impressions and jokes on corrections lately.
finding this interview was like finding a 20 dollar bill on the street
I love it!!
Lovely accent, wonderful man 💙
Seth's laughs are so wholesome here
Mannnn I was hoping Seth would do his Herzog impersonation. Lovey interview.
GENIUS.
ABSOLUTEMENT.
Seth's laugh 🤣
Herzog's awesome, and it's always fun when Seth has people on he absolutely stans.
It's a thoroughly enjoyable book. Short but sweet!
Wonderful
What a man.
Some of the best actors allways relish in playing the bad guy, this is one of them 😎
I remember the story of this Japanese soldier. It had been told before in either a book or a movie, I can't recall. Would be curious to see Herzog's take on it.
I think his story was mixed into the last Godzilla. “Fumeyo yorishi” the soldier yells storming towards the monsters on that island, if I remember correctly.
I think this reminded me of the book Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptonomicon
I believe that there was a Japanese character in the book that didn't realize that the war was over and that had convinced himself he had to continue to defend the island he was stationed on or something to that degree.
@@soulwarrior whoa, I kind of remember that. all i remember is him swimming in the ocean after his ship was blown to bits for some reason
@@EmpyreanLightASMR I believe that happened in the book, yes, but I'm somewhat unsure; it's been a while since I read it.
I was most surprised to find out this was written in 1999. It's crazy HOW MUCH foresight Stephenson had... understanding the importance of data in general, the internet and cryptography in particular and I think there were even hints at cryptocurrencies and other similar ideas in that book... and all of that in 1999. What a visionary.
(I didn't read it in 1999, but still.)
@@soulwarrior There is a reason some people think he is Satoshi Nakamoto. Genius writer and thinker.
Man, John bought you a suit and everything for this interview Seth. Ya blew it!
There is no one like him left: The Public Intellectual. The 1960s and ’70s were the golden age for that type of media figure.
Who'd have thought that Werner Herzog would make such a great villain...? I'm still kinda mad at how his character on The Mandalorian got wasted - would've loved to have seen more of him on that show.
I love that Seth threw the rooster bit in there for us Jackals!
An excellent interview and a little something for the jackals! Nailed it, no notes.... :-)
Werner Herzog, the definition of german humor: scary yet still somehow entertaining
After I saw Colbert had him I really hoped no one would tell you 😂 glad you got him on too in spite of the impression 😂
He's so realistically solid he never cease to amaze me he could come do The White Diamond again in Guyana
One of the best of German's New Wave and still making good work. Love his 🎥. Nosferatu is one of the best versions of the Dracula legend and novel ever filmed.
Not understanding irony is such a German thing. I should know...
I didn’t realize that he voice actually sounded like this. I thought that was like his performance voice. Hmm. I wanna hear him order from a drive thru
He's European, so he probably avoids drive thrus at all costs
For years I've been wishing he would voice relaxation guides!
there's a movie about that japanese soldier in the jungle that came back not long ago called... Onoda, tis a brilliant film
