Tariq Busy While I was growing up back in Germany, he was an idol for me and all my friends. In the 90s, when gangster rap, was huge. He still stood out to us. “ You can be tough, smart, kind and cool all at the same time”
Class act. I just found out why he stopped wearing all of his gold jewelry: "He stopped wearing virtually all his gold, one of his identifying marks, after helping with the cleanup after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He said, "As a Christian, when I saw other people lose their lives and lose their land and property ... I felt that it would be a sin before God for me to continue wearing my gold. I felt it would be insensitive and disrespectful to the people who lost everything, so I stopped wearing my gold."
Stopped wearin it coz its a pretentious bullshit hassle for an aul'fella to keep up especially after its paid for itself all its gonna. Or he gave it to some pawn broker to keep safe for him while he handles a minor cash flow problem 😉
Twilight living This was in the 80’s the civil rights movement wasn’t that long from that so it was really fresh on the community the effects of segregation which was a direct cause because of slavery.
@Twilight living Know your history. The Irish were not slaves they were indentured servants. Look up what that means then maybe you will be better equipped to debate with me. Also the Irish were the overlords and early policemen against black people so don't give me that you were slaves also Bull.
@@djsvrlaivwfofj he thinks that Mr. T found it amusing but Mr.T's body language is tense. This interview took place in a time where it was highly likely and expected that a black man could be invited on a show and be side lined in favor of something stupid or silly. He WAS mad, he was mad that his time meant so little to them that they side lined him in favor of 'elevator races.' The whole interview was tense because they'd slighted him on the previous request to have him out. He came out to the 2nd request because like he said all his interview money was going to help others so he showed up fully expecting to be side lined and disrespected again.
He actually almost broke character. You can see his mouth twitch and he shifted in his seat and rubbed his upper lip trying to keep from smiling. Amazing recovery, and that's not easy keeping a straight face like that.
or maybe it's cause he was under an nda. and by saying he'd be out a a gigantic paycheck. he does keep going on about being paid. he coulda just said i ain't gonna say but you know them. pure speculation.

@@NinjaTyler there are 2 types of charitable ppl. those that do it because it is right. the other seeks tax write offs and/or recognition. true charity is thankless on behalf of preserving the integrity of those receiving. he is a god fearing man. he knows/ should know this. instead of making it about the victims, he made it about himself. what He did. what He sacrificed. why He did he did on Their behalf.
If you were a kid in the 80's you can't NOT love Mr. T. He's one of the very, VERY few famous 80's icons who isn't involved in some bullcrap. He is the way he always was, and was never a dirtbag doing wrong or creepy stuff outside of the public eye. They say nothing gold can stay, but Mr. T is going strong.
Adam Honesty and decency Consider this too! His target audience, being young people. His message: positivity. Think about his contemporaries. Such as Mr. Rogers. His style, the chains, cloths, mohawk, got the attention of his audience. Respect/admiration of young people. That will give him the opportunity to spread his messages.
Yea. Everyone loved Mr. T He was an icon and these kids these days have no one like him. Just a generally wonderful human all around. Just wants to spread positive messages.
@@ilin76bb Typical Letterman. Worst interviewer in history. I’ve never understood why people like him. He’s not funny and his interview skills are nonexistent.
Clubber Lang was freaking scary. I was a kid when Rocky 3 came out and I was shrinking in my seat whenever he was on the screen. I think Mr. T was seriously underrated as an actor. He was great, especially in this role.
I met Mr. T at a Calgary Flames hockey game in something like 2000 or 2001. He was sitting next to me and he was really exactly like he comes across in this interview. Super kind and humble...and covered in gold.
Mr. T is a class act. When Mr. T was at the height of his popularity in the 80's, he was visiting sick children at a hospital. A friend of mine was in a coma at the same hospital and Mr. T came to visit him and spent over 3 hours talking to him and praying with him. A true class act.
not only that, but I give him credit for not acting like the black stereotype in real life. you won't see him degrading himself or other blacks by calling them niggas. or listening to that gangsta rap which promotes that word
No true Scotsman? Any man who claims God is a man of God. You have good honest people like Mr. T, annnnnnnnnnnd human colostomy bags like Donald Trump. Same God, same belief...both 'men of God".
for a man of God he is remarkably prideful These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
@@heithwatkins This is Letterman at his worst. Talking down, insulting, straight punking this wise man. I've gone 45 years without ever getting to know Mr. T and so glad I found this. White people were so disrespectful to this hero. I just watched Mr. T on the Merv Griffin show with Don Rickles. Disgraceful. Yet Mr. T handled them all masterfully. Now, T on Conan O'Brien is gold. You can tell they respect each other a lot. Check out Mr. T on Conan O'Brien "In The Year 2000' . When introduced, the audience refuses to stop clapping for T and he just stands there soaking in the love. Trying, but failing, not to smile.
@@shelsparkle2691, what is there to "get"? Unless you are British: ... 3. If an abbreviation consists of the first and last letters of a word, the American rule is to include a full/stop period at the end: Mr. Dr. St. 4. The British norm, however, is not to use a period at the end: Mr Dr St
As I get older, I see why I loved him so much as a kid. These people had never seen someone so real. Just one of the most sincere souls. Kicking simple straight knowledge and unique symbolism that stands for something. WOW!
It's almost like people never seen a person with a sincere soul, come in and change stuff up. Like kick over tables, and whip people out of temples for being wicked money changers, using parabolic symbolism so unique it never existed before his coming and stands for not just something but all things! Praise Lord Christ Jesus.
Smart guy and he truly cared about the community. He's one of a kind and wish more people were like him. He has a great heart and I'm glad I stumbled upon this video.
Have to say... wow. Just blown away by his eloquence and poise. I remember growing up watching A Team, but you know... you just don't really get an accurate impression of a person without watching an interview. So glad I thought to look him up, and very moved by his being an exemplary human being. Hope to meet him someday.
Mr.T has always been an outstanding role model. People talk about him going broke but he took all the money he made and used it to help people. All of his shows he never drank liquor. A-Team when they'd slip him a Mickey to get him into the air, it was always in Milk. When he had that P.I. show back in the day He didn't Drink, he always drank milk. Long time ago in that movie D.C. Cab he was always about something positive for the kids in the Neighborhood. Rather than look up to the Neighborhood Pimp. So much respect for the man.
The thing I like about Mr. T is that he is so deep. He has such strong morals and he loves to challenge himself and he really loves being a role model for children.
jason churchill Heck Ya !! Want to hear something cool ? Im 40, my son is 9, and I love walking him to class every day. The most awesome moments we have is when he has one of those days where he wants to come home; giving me the perfect excuse to say..."I Pitty The Fool Who Dont Stay In School" lmao. Mr T moments lmao
Full on rapist so now he's a rapist? What the fuck the stupid ignorant shit calling man a fuckin rapist.. Hes never raped anyone! That's horrible to say that shit!
philly D relax, it’s a joke. Apparently old philly d doesn’t watch always sunny in philly I just chuckle every time I see or hear that because of this.... th-cam.com/video/VyHD-Ii5WiQ/w-d-xo.html
As usual, T was superb here, ahead of his time really. Strength with positivity whilst taking no bullshit, a real social conscience and cultural awareness, and stone-cold deadpan comedy. Really a remarkable human being.
Letterman tried to make a spectacle of him, I have respect for Letterman as a TV icon but he definitely tried to stigmatize Mr. T as a "scary", "violent" black guy. Nothing out of the ordinary for a non person of color in the media to do at the time. Yet, T did not let him mis-characterize or make a mockery of him, he demanded respect and attained it. This is truly inspirational.
Roni Brito I didn’t get Letterman calling him scary because of his skin color. I believe Dave was referencing T’s persona from Rocky III as a outspoken boxer who schooled Rocky. If T was white, letterman would had stated the same thing due to T’s character acting like a badass.
Your looking way to deep and speaking based on theory. Were you even alive then? Mr. T's persona was Im going to break you. I'm bad...don't test me. His tag line is I pity the fool.
I Loved rocky 3. The movie made me train in Boxing and Kung Fu. Watching MR T training hard in the beginning of the movie And Rocky training hard after Losing to Mr T. Man great movie. The Eye of the tiger.
The A Team was actually written for Mr T in the first place. And who said so? Straight from the horse's mouth, the show's creator himself, Steven J Cannell.
This brotha was EONS ahead of his time…and I’ve known this since the mid nineties when I started understanding his flow when I was entering my teen years. God bless him. I wish he’d live forever. He was the first to flex, the first to shoutout the black struggle as part of his everyday wardrobe, and he was always for the under privileged
Holy crap, 1:09 almost broke the entire facade. T holding it together was almost a miracle. Because seeing T laugh is one of the most adorable things on the planet, because you see the soul and heart and humour of the man. This interview almost smashed the 'angry bitter always and always T' before it even started. Just fantastic.
He was fantastic on SNL when he and Hulk were hyping the 1st Wrestlemania. He broke up in a skit and instantly pulled it together with a menacing scowl that busted everyone else up.
THIS WAS AMAZING!!! Good to see a black man stand firm in his masculinity and be respected. It also helps that he isn't a sell out or a traitor to his people. Much respect to Mr. T
Mr T is one of my childhood heros and still is. I grew up watching him in the A team and seeing him wrestle and box and loved him as Clubber Lang in Rocky 3 but, he himself is the true Mr T. He has good strong values and spoke the truth and didn't muck people around and always gave back to society and cares for people. Mr T, you are a legend sir and an inspiration to us all for your good work over the years. ✌
80s kid right here. This guy was one of my heros growing up. But at the time I was too young to understand the struggles he had to overcome, or the morality, positivity, and dignity he chose to live by. I probably haven't thought about this guy in at least 20 years, and seeing this he's still one of my heros.
That's how all children of God sould be not afraid cause God protects us. But its so many scared Christians out der. Don't be scared huh? Don't be scared don't be scared!!!
Mr. T, All that I have seen from Mr. T, has been great. I've seen interviews, shows, and movies. I would love to meet him! One of the great people I look up to!
Mr.T, wow that was a throwback. I used to love watching him on the A-Team, wrestle Hulk Hogan, and in his movies! Alot of kids like myself looked up to him and wanted to be like him, regardless of his race, he is awsome!
T’s always been cool. Big fan from WAY back. Grew up watching him on The A Team. He was fantastic in Rocky III. He’s legit tough, but also a sweet and genuine fella. I wish him the best, always.

Mr. T not that tall ,not even tall his 5ft10 back then he was 6ft2 a little young like when he was in cloudy with a chance

As usual, T was superb here, ahead of his time really. Strength with positivity whilst taking no bullshit, a real social conscience and cultural awareness, and stone-cold deadpan comedy. Really a remarkable human being.
Such an inspiring man. Imagine this person in summer 2020 right now and the power he would have.
Right now we really need a Mr.T.
Letterman tried to make a spectacle of him, I have respect for Letterman as a TV icon but he definitely tried to stigmatize Mr. T as a "scary", "violent" black guy. Nothing out of the ordinary for a non person of color in the media to do at the time. Yet, T did not let him mis-characterize or make a mockery of him, he demanded respect and attained it. This is truly inspirational.
Roni Brito I didn’t get Letterman calling him scary because of his skin color. I believe Dave was referencing T’s persona from Rocky III as a outspoken boxer who schooled Rocky. If T was white, letterman would had stated the same thing due to T’s character acting like a badass.
Roni Brito Also, T’s and Letterman’s act was rehearsed a head of time.
Yeah, it was rehearsed. Mr. T was a wrestler. He knew how to play to the crowd with Letterman.
It was rehearsed! That was Mr. T's image!!
Your looking way to deep and speaking based on theory. Were you even alive then? Mr. T's persona was Im going to break you. I'm bad...don't test me. His tag line is I pity the fool.
I Loved rocky 3. The movie made me train in Boxing and Kung Fu. Watching MR T training hard in the beginning of the movie
And Rocky training hard after Losing to Mr T. Man great movie. The Eye of the tiger.
lovenlightman He’d be great alongside Stallone again & Lundgren in an Expendables..
Mr. T is tough, smart and cool. That heavy chain line hit hard.
Never realized. What a great guy!
The A Team was actually written for Mr T in the first place. And who said so? Straight from the horse's mouth, the show's creator himself, Steven J Cannell.
56postoffice I used to only watch the A Team to see BA throwing people through the air in slow motion.
Brian Stafford His fear of flying in the show made me fear to fly as a kid.
I had the A team toys and B.A was my favourite.
Mick Fitz Yeah remember them saying "Hey BA, have some milk" 😂
Should have been called the T-Team
Brian Stafford He always punched people right in the center of their forehead and knocked them out with one punch.
I always loved his confidence.
This brotha was EONS ahead of his time…and I’ve known this since the mid nineties when I started understanding his flow when I was entering my teen years. God bless him. I wish he’d live forever. He was the first to flex, the first to shoutout the black struggle as part of his everyday wardrobe, and he was always for the under privileged
Wow that was so very long ago. Better days. A different world. Real role models.
I disagree we don’t even know what this man was doing behind closed door, stop let your kids look up to celebrities, you be that role model
Hard as nails and intelligent Nothing but RESPECT!!!
Holy crap, 1:09 almost broke the entire facade. T holding it together was almost a miracle. Because seeing T laugh is one of the most adorable things on the planet, because you see the soul and heart and humour of the man. This interview almost smashed the 'angry bitter always and always T' before it even started. Just fantastic.
Randy Palmer not much acting going on here, just straight truth
He was fantastic on SNL when he and Hulk were hyping the 1st Wrestlemania. He broke up in a skit and instantly pulled it together with a menacing scowl that busted everyone else up.
We love you Mr. T. You are special and radiate the heart of God.
THIS WAS AMAZING!!! Good to see a black man stand firm in his masculinity and be respected. It also helps that he isn't a sell out or a traitor to his people. Much respect to Mr. T
look how Mr. T gives all credit to God! Real deep brother! 👏👏👍
Jennie RedRose i Love You
Jennie RedRose 9
Jennie RedRose komm zu mir
Jennie RedRose jennie is super cute. Bless her
I hate people that do that.
The credit for Mr Ts successful life goes to one man... Mr T himself!
One of my favorite actors. I pity the fool!
Mr T is one of my childhood heros and still is. I grew up watching him in the A team and seeing him wrestle and box and loved him as Clubber Lang in Rocky 3 but, he himself is the true Mr T. He has good strong values and spoke the truth and didn't muck people around and always gave back to society and cares for people. Mr T, you are a legend sir and an inspiration to us all for your good work over the years. ✌
80s kid right here. This guy was one of my heros growing up. But at the time I was too young to understand the struggles he had to overcome, or the morality, positivity, and dignity he chose to live by. I probably haven't thought about this guy in at least 20 years, and seeing this he's still one of my heros.
This has to be one of the best things I've ever seen
he been talkn about helping kids n communities since the beginning👏👏👏
MR T. A true legend. This video reminded me of how much I loved watching the A team as a kid.
That's how all children of God sould be not afraid cause God protects us. But its so many scared Christians out der. Don't be scared huh? Don't be scared don't be scared!!!
Mr. T was one of my heroes in the 80's. Standup guy. Helluva man.
"I'm glad you brought that up"
Came back to hear that cold line about his ancestors wearing chains... I love to see people of walks of life that stand for something with honor
Mr. T! Chicago and Dunbar HS born and bred!
what's being somewhat overlooked is that he is beautiful
anonymous He IS... 😍😍😍
I never knew all this about him. So much respect. ❤️
Mr. T: "I'm glad you brought that up"
Letterman:"You can stick around for a few more minutes can't you"
Mr. T: "Sure as long as your going to pay me"
Letterman got scared when he asked him about his jobs
NiTEVibe98 yes he said i was just joke we no he was not
NiTEVibe98 it was all staged. Like wrestling. Notice how Mr.T has that subtil corner smile before first commercial?
I think Letterman almost peed himself not just that time but a few times that interview
His eye was twitching!!😂😂😳
freaking love Mr.T. He's got a heart of gold heavier than his neck chains!!!!
Mr. T, All that I have seen from Mr. T, has been great. I've seen interviews, shows, and movies. I would love to meet him! One of the great people I look up to!
At the end when he smiled, it seemed like he was bottling up his laughter for 12 minutes and it all came out at the end
Mr.T, wow that was a throwback. I used to love watching him on the A-Team, wrestle Hulk Hogan, and in his movies! Alot of kids like myself looked up to him and wanted to be like him, regardless of his race, he is awsome!
Alfonso Demagistris 💯
Alfonso Demagistris his race? As in a human? As in the human race?
MR T is the man.
Class act. Wish he did get more movie roles.
MR.T is so powerful when he speaks and is straight to the point i have so much respect for him once i watched this interview
T’s always been cool. Big fan from WAY back. Grew up watching him on The A Team. He was fantastic in Rocky III. He’s legit tough, but also a sweet and genuine fella. I wish him the best, always.
He is like Malcolm X. I love Mister T. He is in full possession of his Regal African Black Manhood. I've never seen anyone like him before.
11:54 "God protects me. That's why I fear [no evil]."
Now that I saw this interview, I like him even more. No nonsense man with a good soul.
He always tells the truth never sugarcoat anything big ups and total respect Mr.T
He is T. eriffic period cause he beat the Dot
No, he wasn´t part of the A-Team. He IS the A-Team.
Mr T keeping it REAL THE ONLY WAY
Many many fake idiots out there. This guy is the real deal and a gentleman. A true legend
Seems clever,humble and down to earth.
