Part 2 - • Michael Landon’s final... - ตลก
He was only 54 when he passed away. It's amazing how much life he squeezed into 54 years. RIP. He is an American Icon.
He is a Zionist icon.
He must have been VERY young when he did that werewolf movie.
@Conway Twitter Thanks for your reply to that comment. That person was right. Michael Landon did squeeze alot I to 54 years. It seems he was on tv his whole life and tried to bring morals to some of his shows. But I'm also glad you said what you said. Sometimes we really like celebrities when we might have an impact as well in our own way. We tend to forget that because most of us aren't rich or famous or " beautiful". But God can use us regardless. So thanks again
Exactly, just imagine what he could’ve done by now, at 87
I wasn’t even born yet when he died, he would of been 86 now
He knew he was dying, and still he had good humor !
RIP, Michael !
If you think about it, we all are dying.
Trust God - Fear Nothing.
@@tjp5295 I am not as I am immortal
He was an awesome actor ! When you know you’re dying & have the joy he had, he knew he was going to a better place & Jesus would Say: Welcome, My Good & Faithful Servant🙋♀️♥️
I love Michael Landon 😭☹️😩 same for Melissa Gilbert and Victor French
My dad beat me. I was abused by classmates and teachers throughout my entire life.
But when I watched Mr. Landon, in anything he did, I was at peace, I just wished he was my father, so much. I love you and am so grateful for how you touched so many of us. May you and your lineage be forever blessed.
Same would have given anything to have Pa as my dad
Had same experience.
I'm sorry that Landon beat you. You must have done something to stir that up
@@edmundmcgrath213👈😂 meanwhile your two dads who are married to each other, are awfully proud of you.
🙏🏽❤️
I will never forget this interview. Not long after this, a co-worker was diagnosed with the same issue, and was gone in four weeks. She came in after hours, cleaned out her office and mailed a letter to the staff later. It makes me cry to this day. She and I had been in a training prior to her going to the Dr. and she said.....I think I am really sick. later she called me and said she didn't have long to live and the Dr. and nurses were all crying when they told her. Her heart wrenching letter to us telling us not to forget her daughters and go to their sports. The last week of her life she invited us over and was toasting us as we drove away with her mountain dew. She asked to be left alone to spend time with her family after that. This was over twenty years ago and I still think of her every day
That’s heartbreaking 😔
Wow! So sad
That's so sad. Bittersweet memories.
That’s a wonderful legacy. Few people are remembered with such fondness.
no entiendo, como se hace para traducirla a español.
He died 2 months after this appearance. What a legacy he left. He was a true blessing to this world.
I loved and just adored Michael Landon he was a great actor he is Truely Missed
RIP Michael Landon
Actually he's one of the situations where you don't need to know much about your heroes. He sucked as a husband and father and left 6 kids by two wives that he just abandoned plus the three with the last wife.
Such a wonderful, remarkable, human being. RIP Michael
@here's clowny Yes John Wayne Susan Hayward Agnes Moorehead and others all had some form of cancer and died
I miss this era.......was a completely different world
Wish we could go back there.
Tawny Honaker Same here
And here
Not all great unless you where a white straight male
@@iliketowatchvideos47 the way it should be and is meant to be
I love the way it feels like a conversation between two buddies and not just an interview
That's because it is
I met Michael. He was so sweet and so very funny. I'll never forget him.
Thank you for sharing this. I love to hear that what I imagined is true.
thanks
He was one of the best actors in history. I love Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven. He is missed.
Have you ever seen. I was a teenage werewolf? If you haven't, I recommend it. He was so young
Saw them all too, fabulous TV
I loved highway to heaven. In the early 90s I worked in a crazy bar while going to college. Just mayhem every fri and sat. Coconuts nite club in Burnaby. It was brutal. I would come home at 4am and unwind with a 7-11 burrito and watch Michael Landon and victor french on highway to heaven.
Indeed
Kids today will never know how great we had it.
I feel bad knowing they’re growing up in such an inferior time. We were lucky.
Well said.
Highway to heaven was awesome Born in 71 blake.good old days.👍
Now kids have drag queen story hour
@@Unclebuns72 it’s all about grooming them and filling their minds with garbage.
Michael Landon was extremely funny and his laugh was contagious. Little House On the Prairie is still and will always be my most favorite show.
Mine too 👍❤️
Who didn't love LHOTP. But alas Landon was a strange man. Apparently he had a cruel streak. Melissa Sue (Mary) said that as did Karen Grassle (Caroline). Landon reduced Karen's salary & scenes in season 2 & onwards
@@susanford2388 research the character that played Mary and you will find that she wasn't liked by many of the staff. She was known for being snooty and very uptight. Karen, also complained about her character as Caroline because she felt like she was dominated over Charles. She is like your typical Hollywood celebrity with their woman need to be treated equal bullshit. Well your playing the role of a pioneers wife. In those days, you worked from home and the man of the house was in control and had more say.
So i can't blame him for not being as nice to the complainers. He was noted as being a man that worked hard and expected the staff to work just as hard. Everyone else that was a part of that show had amazing thing's to say about him. But just like any Hollywood celebrity, they are all bought and paid for by the devil.
We don't watch much tv in this house. We do however watch reruns of LHOTP and The Walton's A LOT!
@@minnamae25 Thank you for your reply but I do not share your bitter words.
@@minnamae25 well said.
Tomorrow will be 30 years since he passed,1st July,such a good person.
And great artist! I'm a Michael Landon's fan!
30 years, OMG.
Thanks ! .for all those.past time memories you , u tubers.brouht back to mind . Life back then people were more truth to one another even marriages were more likely stay together
Find moms and pops stayed with each other for ever till death do you part .our marriages ' don't have that strong leak as our past M mother and father had .

I'll never forget the day he died, I cried and cried and cried😢 Rewatching all Little House on the Prairie episodes now, trying to relieve my happier childhood dayz ~ Michael Landon's acting is unforgettable ~ Rest in Peace Pa❣🕊🤠
Hello Holly, how are you doing?
Agreed . He was a brilliant actor for sure .Just like you I cried a lot xxx
@@callumnye2562 Quit, not a dating site. Quit.
Best tv show ever little house on the Prairie ❤❤❤❤❤
WHY? We ALL DIE..And when we do, we go to a MUCH BETTER place!!!
I can't imagine the face he had to put on during this interview. Strong man. Great actor.
Yo no lo veo así.
Simplemente era su carácter; su espíritu.
No veo sufrimiento en él (quiero decir que la enfermedad está ahí, y puedes notarlo en su aspecto, en lo que respecta a su cuerpo). Pero no da la impresión que sea un tipo que está haciendo un papel por obligación; pienso que es consciente de su situación. Sabe que no queda mucho tiempo, pero no tiene miedo.
Still looked good.
What a great personality. He's dying of cancer and is still smiling and laughing and getting what he can out of life. A true professional with a wonderful personality.
Michael talks about having 9 kids at the time. In 1967 he brought his family to Expo in Montreal. I was a host in the Ontario Pavilion on a day off, and I was ushering my sister around the fair. Cass had mobility problems. I had left her sitting in one of the fair wheelchairs while I went to run an errand, which took me a couple of minutes longer than I expected. When I came out, Cass was nowhere to be found & I panicked. So I'm searching for her and a fair-goer told me they thought they saw her with a family at a nearby fountain. (What?)
Sure enough there she was - in the company of Michael Landon, his lovely wife and their 5 kids! He was smiling, gracious, and sorry for worrying me, but Cass was having a blast. He had been wheeling her around, thinking I had missplaced her.
I'll always remember his kindness and that warm smile. His was a sad loss, and one of the first celebrities to talk about pancreatic cancer. It claimed our mother in 1991.
Love seeing these old clips from The Tonight Show. Johnny was a regular in our home in the evening.
He was a beautiful soul
❤️❤️❤️❤️
My mother met him when he and Cindy came into the gift shop where my mom worked at the time. I believe it was in 1984. My mother still talks about how wonderful he was to her, just a kind, gracious man.
I grew up watching re-runs of Little House and Bonanza. His role as Charles Ingalls had such an impact on me. My father was abusive and abandoned my sister and me when we were young. Mr. Ingalls was the loving, caring father I wanted in my life. There's so much nostalgia when I watch Mr. Landon in anything. Pa was and always will be my dad too lol I'm sure others can relate to that ❤
When Michael Landon was a boy he had a very abusive mother. it is interesting that when he grew older he adopted quite a few children, all of which eventually went to college.
Awww....bless your heart. I know the feeling...he sure gave stability if you didn't have it. 💗
Hear, hear!
true pa ingalls is a classic
Yes Mr Ingalls was my dad too.. ❤️
7 weeks later he passed away. Can you imagine that? He looks so healthy. And man has he courage and humor. My deepest respect! Great interview.
They didn't have the drugs we have today. Pancreatic cancer killed really quick then !
@@robertgsmith5761 really? It still does! It's one of the most fatal
Robert Smith It still does. And the drugs still kill people. They tried to kill a friend of mine. They gave him drugs that made him sick. He still died of pancreatic cancer. Not only that They murdered my Mother!!
Sick thing is. Government know there’s a cure for cancer. Google ‘Cancer Act 1939.’
Michael knew how to heal his body back then. It’s known that Dandelion milk juice kills cancer. And high vitamin C intravenous too. It’s a pity they didn’t have the internet back then. Such a brave man.
I have “chronic” pancreatitis. I am taking Creon for it with every meal including snacks. I have some episodes of left upper pain right under my rib cage where the stomach is. The pancreas is in deeper. I guess my fate is sealed cuz my Dad died at 68 y.o. from Pancreatic cancer. He was so ill. He died in 3 months from diagnosis. I bet he had the chronic form like I have, but he never complained of pain. I worry that the chronic pancreatitis I have will turn into cancer as well🥺It is a risk factor for it. All in all, the chronic form is a progressive destruction of the pancreas. How long I live until it kills me is a crap shoot. Everybody is different, but it will eventually self-destruct. I feel so bad for Michael Landon. I saw the horrific way my Dad died from it. It was so heartbreaking to see cuz he was never ill until he got this death sentence. 😢
He is really an angel in heaven now.
Highway to Heaven💙
This is not the opinion of Karen Grassle (Caroline Ingalls), who vilicied Michael Landon! And I think, in all humility, that she is infinitely better placed than you to know who he really was.
@Piscesempress So what ? He is no longer there either to welcome the praising comments from people who only know him through series where he appeared in a role!
You're an arrant hypocrite not to make this absurd reproach to the anonymous people of TH-cam who praise Landon, when he is no longer there to correct them.
I love Michael Landon, but he's not an angel. That's a nice thought, but humans don't turn into angels.
True! 🙏☁️💙
This video breaks my heart. Michael was dying, he knew it. But he kept his smile to the end. He was worried not about him but his children because the press comments about his health. Michael deserves be remembered and loved as the great human being he was
@Daysy Perez - and this is probably how most of us would like to go.
Just keep smiling until the end, and at this point "worry" more about other people within our life, instead of our own.
He was hell of an actor, and also a human being.
almost 30 years later and I still mourn his loss - RIP Pa
I was just a little girl when he passed. My mom passed down her love for him to me and yes ... he is still so missed! I was too young to know about him, but made sure I watched his shows and interviews. Goodness .. he was a rarity and beautiful soul/man.
Wow, I can’t believe it’s been that long already.
Rest in peace worlds most wonderful person MICHAEL LANDON!
@@melissajoy3689 😘
He is thin here. Still handsome, great hair and his attitude and humor are top shelf. A class act and truly missed.
He does look thin
@@marcelcovaci9922 Yes he does. He has always had great cheekbones but you can really see them here. I always see when people lose weight their faces first.
He was gone 53 days after this.
He’s sense of humor during his hard time is incredible .
Hello Carolina, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
Hello Carolina, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
and what great hair he had !
Had a great sense of humor even with everything he was going through
What genuine courage he displayed, coming on the show, laughing and cracking salacious jokes. He knew he was dying . He still had that luscious head of hair, right up until the end!
Probably wasn't doing chemo.
I see why Johnny loved Landon and not many others. You could tell Michael was incredibly genuine, and there is never enough of that in Hollywood
Hollywood has always been a land of make-believe. Many celebrities present themselves one way, but they are actually another. Many ordinary people are very two-faced as well. Politics don't even matter.
I'm certain that the Little House surviving cast members were devastated when Michael Landon passed away.My mom loved this man.
Not many others? Lol..WTF? Do you realize how WRONG and FOOLISH that is
@@BBAKER22 Johnny was closed off. He didn’t trust a lot of people. Older he got, the less he trusted.
Landon was a rare one he hung with outside of the cameras or parties
My grandma was a huge fan of his, and got to meet him when she was 75 during the run of "Highway to Heaven". He was so sweet to her. It was amazing. When she died a few years later, she was buried with a picture of the two of them together in her pocket. She absolutely insisted that we had to do that!
Amazing story!
Sweet! My mom had her picture taken with Tony Orlando in Branson . We did the same thing. Buried her with that picture because she was so proud of it.
Yes amazing story!
My favorite to Highway to Heaven
What a beautiful story .& thank-you so much for sharing your story & your dear grandmother’s experience meeting Michael Landon with us all! I need to add that your sweet grandmother insisting the photo of her & Michael Landon’s meeting, captured in a photo is what I would say “A TRUE HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN STORY!”❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕♥️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
So very handsome even at the end..held his head high always..been watching all the highway to heaven episodes from pilot to end..miss his beautiful face..remember growing up in mid 80's he was on everything
A lot of courage in this man. RIP Michael
His hair is legendary.
and so is his laugh. I loved this day when I was 7 years old. My first live.
I meant loved this guy when I was 7. My mamas boy friend use to tease me about him
Yes it was and so was p swayze's hair
I think Carsons hair is rather unimpressive actually.
Yes and John Stamos
I loved Michael Landon’s portrayal of Pa in little house on prairie, he was so handsome, masculine and strong, sweet, soft but firm with the kids and romantic with his wife , he had a twinkle in his eyes:)
You and 10 billion other people also...
I still remember the day they announced Michael Landon had pancreatic cancer. I followed the entire story. He was interviewed and vowed to fight it and win. Everyone was praying for a miracle. Then it was announced that he'd be making an appearance on Johnny Carson. We were all hoping that he'd tell us good news, that he was going to be okay, but sadly that wasn't the case. Up until that point of my life, I'd never seen someone who was dying act so bravely. He went out swinging that's for sure. I still watch Bonanza to this day and Little Joe Cartwright lives on forever.
Rip Michael landon. Little house on the prairie was and still is one of my favorite tv shows of all time. 100s of times better than the garbage reality shows on today. You are a legend.
I agree but to be honest my cat leaves more interesting things in her litter box than what's on TV now
Absolutely
One of my favorite shows. Clean and fun.
There is nothing but garbage...complete downhill

You can see & tell he was very ill; however, I commended him for humor in one of his most darkest moments of his life. Well done, Mr. Landon.
It was saddening to see him like that, Ms. Buchanan😣 I watched that episode of The Tonight Show. He was in really good spirits that night, so it less somber for me personally. I couldn't help but feel awful for his family, though, 😞ma'am
He doesn't look very ill here. He looks average for age 54, though with great hair.
He actually looks pretty good
@@gee2541 if Im remembering correctly, I believe he actually passed away within 4 to 6 weeks later. I remember being shocked that he looked so well, on the show, and then was gone so soon. An amazing and incredible man. Miss him and his productions
Please explain how you can see & tell he was Ill hear?
I have prostate cancer, untreated for 15 years, and my Lord God is taking care of me just fine, as He loves His own, and that love us reciprocated in kind make no mistake.. The doctors told me that I had a 5 to 10 year life expectancy and like I said earlier, it's been 15 years so far.. All praise, power and glory be given to our Father God Yahweh..
First of all I’m a registered nurse of 38 years over 90% of all men have prostate cancer after their 80 years old you did the right thing not align them to cut on it I’ll that probably would’ve done is spread the cancer cells everywhere and also noticed at the end of your Post that you mentioned Yahweh. I also am my believer in Yahweh looks like this post of yours about a year old I hope you’re still doing well Yah bless!

Michael Landon is a legend. His portrayel of Charles Ingalls in the Little House series is an immortal classic.
Wish we could all go back to those days. Life was so much simpler it seemed
@@EFFTRUDEAU I believe today Greenland has a very similar environment, that has not been corrupted by corporate greed.
@NeedsMoreTry I really loved the way Caroline would scold him whenever he lost his temper. I will never forget in the episode where they meet and adopt Albert, Charles has a horrible boss (Mr. Standish) and Caroline tells Charles: "People that take advantage of others are to be pitied, not hated". She was truly magnificent too.
Yes...but to me he will always be Little Joe
LOL! Pure corny crap that show was! Yuck
It was no accident one of his most iconic roles was an “angel on Earth.”
RIP “Mr Ingalls”
💜I liked _Highway To Heaven_ alot. Thank you for SHARING. 💜
@@jiovannatowers1121 the whole series is on Netflix watch it again. I watched the show as a kid with my Mom. It was a blast to watch it again with Adult eyes.
Oh my god!

Dont forget little joe cartwright
I saw this interview the night it happened and Michael Landon's appearance, attitude and energy level at the time convinced many of us who were watching that he still he still had quite a while left to live. If you'd have asked me at the time, I'd have told you I think he'd still be alive at least another year or even longer, which is why, even though he'd been so open about having cancer, myself and quite a lot of others were still somewhat surprised when he died less than 8 weeks later on July 1st 1991. Knowing more about cancer than I did then and realizing in hindsight how serious his diagnosis was, it now seems naïve that I could have been shocked by his death, but back then I thought if you looked and sounded "good" it meant it was early days in the fight and that you still had more time.
The loss of Landon is hard to accept because he was so young, he was such a great person and actor. I watch him on Little House on the prairie his acting can't be more perfect. He also cared about the people that he worked with and most of all his family as everyone seemed so glad to be around him. He was a true television icon a one of a kind person that can't be replaced.
We’re all just passing through this life! Let’s make it count!

@tinwoods if it makes you happy its not a waste..
PREACH my Brother 👏🛐👏
Amen
Very touching that Michael felt safe enough with Johnny like this... Class acts, both of them...
He was one FINE man
And he stuck it to the tabloids good for Michael Landon. RIP Mr.Landon
And both Scorpios RIP
Michael Landon had successful TV series in each of three different decades: Bonanza during the 60s, Little House On The Prairie during the 70s and Highway to Heaven during the 80s. One of the most successful actors in television history and one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. It's horrible that his life had to end like this
Michael Landon had a phenomenal career, hugely talented. It's a shame he passed so young but like someone said he sure packed a ton into those 54 years.
I agree whole heartedly. Can you imagine the wonderful shows he would have created had he lived into his seventies or eighties?
I miss this time in our world. When people had respect for each other. it's so sad that he passed 3 months after his diagnosis.
Unfortunately, many people are nice to others in public, but they badmouth them in private. Image is everything to them. When they feel they were wronged, they will look for revenge. No one is safe once it starts.
@@SmallDragon7804 it depends on who can you trust.
@@lexkanyima2195 It sure does.
What a class act... his bravery and grace is palpable.
Grace, ..what an awesome word, ...and trait. It is a dying condition!
He was an actor he knew how to play
Michael was such a nice man. He used to hire our scout group to be extras for Little House when we were young.
I still love this man for his generous being, for the authentic love he's been spreading all through his life!!! He was one of a kind. Will never forget him.. R.I.P.
Sharp as a tack, incredible strength and humour to the end, a true gentleman and inspiration to us all❤️
A total legend
I know that he is a total inspiration to anyone he is so caring resting peace micheal .
@@amandabreeze2410je dis amen à ça moiselle.
Johnny was on vacation from the Tonight Show when Michael Landon died. At the end of the first show that he did when he came back, I remember that at the end of the show he memorialized Landon, as well as his son, who had just died in an automobile accident. I wondered how Johnny was going to handle it, and he did the show as normal, and waited until the end to say his piece about his late friend and son. It was a class act by Carson. Nobody moderated a talk show better.
Amen brother
@@davidcastelli7893 bbmn
Johnny Carson was a troubled soul. His 2nd wife said how threatening he was on their honeymoon. Perhaps he was a narcissist. I was not a fan of Carson nor of Landon he too was a troubled soul. I loved his LHOTP & Highway to Heaven, but just not him.
The very best there was.No one even comes close to Johnny Carson.
@@susanford2388 You are correct, they were both full of themselves, but in Hollywood, it's all about the ego.

@psychedelic toaster Damn.....if I only had the chance.
*I met him briefly on Malibu beach in July '86 and had a short conversation with him, he appeared genuinely interested as I was from the UK, and said there was a new series being made that perhaps we would get in time - this turned out to be "Highway to Heaven" Had not heard a great deal of him before that. Sadly missed RIP Michael. - age 54 Far to soon.*
I watched this live at the time. He was so funny the night. It gave everyone hope that he would make it. I think he knew his days were numbered. He died with his family surrounding him.
@tomf429: You said it exactly like I remember when my siblings and parents were watching that show. I remember feeling hope that he was going to pull through - we all did - and then he didn’t. It was so sad. Can still clearly remember that feeling when it was announced that he died and clearly remember watching this last show with him on Johnny Carson.
Everyday after school i used to watch little house on the prairie and wished a had a father like Charles in the series. Michael Landon was the greatest actor in the world according to me! Rest in peace..😔
Michael Landon... A man who is sorely missed.
And Victor French.
Joe Postove AGREE
Miss his smile.....laugh. Everything! Was a good man! 💗
Sorely missed...and needed.

If only more people in Hollywood had the integrity, humor, and class of Michael Landon. Truly a real Hollywood Icon star with message of how to be a "Class Act" along with a role model for future generations.
🙏❤
Got to meet him and all the Bonanza actors when back in the day they all were star guests of the Akron All American Soapbox Derby Parade downtown sitting on the backs of passing convertibles as confetti was floating by from the buildings on Main Street. It was exciting experience.
I loved Michael Landon's laugh. So honest and genuine.❤
I really do believe Michael Landon and Patrick Swayze were the last of the truly strong male actors we had to display quiet, wholesome masculine strength on television. My parents had John Wayne and then there was a void to fill and they did a damn fine job filling it. Television hasn’t really been the same since their untimely deaths due to the same illness. RIP Michael and Patrick 💕
Yep, thank god toxic masculinity has gone these days.

I’m from Afghanistan and when immigrated you’re Pakistan in 1986, the Pakistan national channel was showing his Highway to heaven, and I was watching it every episode. Michael Landon was charismatic. RIP brave man.
That's cool. I loved that show too.
I remember meeting him when I used to crash a motel pool the cast would stay at when filming Little House on The Prairie in Northern California. He came out to the pool deck with that hair, huge Hollywood sunglasses and his killer smile. Here was a star, and yet he was friendly, funny and approachable to me, a 13 y.o. local small town kid. RIP Michael.
cool
Great story.
Landon was awesome. I love highway to heaven
His laugh is still contagious. What a great guy.
A powerhouse spirit of a man, the world loved this man.
Rest in eternal peace Michael Landon.

He had some kind of new experimental treatment in Chicago that supposedly did it for him.
@Mary Feather
It was some kind of drug but this was about 9 years ago......im sure its mainstream now.
Motorcityman Man good for him. God Bless
That is terrific news!! my Dad last only 2 months post his pancreatic cancer diagnosis
I was a kid when he passed away and loved watching him and the rest of the cast in The Little House on the Prarie. I just finished rewatching the whole 9 season series and will always remember the life lessons I learned and picked up watching him in the series. May God bless him and his family. RIP Michael Landon
What an Amazing man, he gave us all the gift of love & laugher and will forever be loved by all. Talk about a class act and sweetheart that will forever be Michael Landon. We sure do miss him because he made us all feel like family with his warmth and loving heart. This was an awesome interview with Carson that I remember so clearly when it aired. Thank you Michael for all your good works and outstanding series presence. We miss you 💔 You made a beautiful difference in television.

My dad was going through the same pancreatic cancer at the same time, Michael died a month before my dad, both deaths were devastating. It made me realize my dad would die too, my hope was gone when Mr.Landon Died. Rest In Peace Dad and Michael Landon 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow didn’t realise such a funny guy always touching performances on film
Gerson
Hard to believe he died only two months after this show... He looked so alive and happy...Thats why you should live everyday like its your last because you can go at the drop of a hat.
That's true, I used to work with a woman who's husband died in his 50's. She got a call at work and was asked to go home. She got there and found out her husband was at the neighbors house visiting, was laughing about something, and fell over dead, just like that. Now that is the way to go, maybe not so soon, but I'll take it.
I didnt know that.. 2 months after thats sucks :/
Sad and brave . ❤️
You are absolutly right!
Jeffrey Quinn They say live every day but they don’t say what to do.
Imo, he looked incredible. Hard to believe he was dying. Rest In Peace, Michael and Johnny.
He was so positive during this interview. I loved all of his work, especially Highway to Heaven, always an uplifting message, I'm watching an episode right now.
RIP Michael
We're literally all dying every minute that passes lol
You could tell he lost so much weight. He looked scary thin here
All admirers of Michael forever. Dignity, wonderful humor. He had more to give than the people who wanted to be helpful with their suggestions. But never unrespectively.
Hello patty, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
@@user-tv1xj5ji6x am happy and not safe from that but looking forward to recover. Meanwhile inside alone but believe me not lonely . Good spirits cause everything’s for good
@@pattytanur3321 that’s true.
May the healing hand of God almighty rest on you in Jesus name, Amen .
So tell me dear, hope you’re having a nice and a wonderful day today??
I've been binging on Little House in quarantine. What an amazing guy.
Love this guy so much,wish I could of met what all man should be like,a real sweetheart,🤗💜😇😕😢💯💯💕💕💕
Mhmm. Me too.
Watch Bonanza too.
You and 10 billion other people also...
@@buildmorefarms1007 overkill on your comment bro
What grace to be so positive up to the end. He was a class act - something our country could use more of.
I grew up watching Bonanza and I love this interview. My husband died of cancer and he kept people laughing on the way out the same way Michael Landon did.
Michael Landon was a very few Hollywood celebrities that both
Liberals and Conservatives admired and respected!! He was truly
a decent human being and an amazing actor!! We need more people
like him than ever especially in the D.C!!
All I have ever heard is nice things about him. And he was so handsome.
I guess you never read up what his first wife and second wife had to say about him.
Little House on the Prairie is my favorite show ❤
Yes he was handsome - especially as little Joe on Bonanza.
No he was a complicated workaholic. He was however kind and generous to his cast/crew who were loyal to him.
Johnny Carson was a gentleman , “un señor “ as we say in Spanish
He was such a handsome man and funny too. Good man and still enjoy his acting
was
@@abrahamlincoln1677 I said was
@@Make_Money_With_Kristen1 you edited it...lol
@@abrahamlincoln1677 no I didn’t lol! I said was the second word right out of the gate
@@Make_Money_With_Kristen1 ;) Sure you did. lol
Terrific sense of humor, both of them. Sometimes the best thing to do is laugh. Cheers
His laugh was so cute. The world is a darker place without him and his talent and humor.
Hello Victoria, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
"He has continued to face this battle with humor and honesty and a personal sense of dignity that characterizes a man." Well said, and sadly, getting rarer all the time.
Sadly that is so true.
Imagine how this interview would have been interpreted by such a unfortunately large number of people especially on Twitter today! For example the vile comments like we have seen recently about the deaths of Don Imus & Kobe Bryant and Rush Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis, then you would have those criticising Johnny for being sexist & misogynistic for using the word “man” in the monologue as if those qualities can only be perscibed to men! It’s a sad sad time indeed
@@oli3437 Spot on!
I agree with you completely. Well said.
@@josephr9930 You're a fine human being.
@@josephr9930 Sure.
Rest in peace, Mr. Landon. You are truly missed. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world.
What an amazing wonderful man Michael was, he played an Angel, I believe he truly is now🙏🏻
Disease wracking him, see it in his face. What a wonderful spirit!
we do miss Michael Landon so much. What a brave man he was to the end. A great American and a great actor. Nearly 30 years since the world lost him.
Michael. “You ere So Very Missed in the Whole World Today ,Yesterday and Always”. ♥️
One the best actor of all time. You could see in his physical that he looks skinny and deteriorating because of the cancer. RIP Michael Landon.
Erik Haack His name was Michael Landon. Please correct his name.
@@JMC01644 ok
It's true. I don't agree with people saying he's looking good. He's skinny because of illness...
I met Michael Landon in the 1970s. He was a frequent visitor to Las Vegas and I worked at Caesars Palace Hotel. Mr. Landon was always very friendly and nice and a very generous tipper. RIP
Both men were extremely talented, hysterically funny and very complicated human beings. Both of them are sorely missed.
No standing ovation is more perfect....the man made amazing television, family oriented and he will live forever in our hearts
I remember when he passed away. My step dad had just died and i cried my eyes out. I'll always love Michael.. 💔
He was only 54 he died from pancreatic cancer... 💔
@@jamestropicals8262 Yep. I remember. He always went out of his way to try to bring awareness to pancreatic cancer. Very good man.. And Gorgeous!!! LORD HE WAS FINE!!! 😍
@@amywhite9972 My cousin has cancer
I saw this as a teen who was scared to death of death. I'm not as scared anymore because my life is tedious, and tougher than I thought it would be. I have never seen a person face a death sentance with as much grace, and humility, as Little Joe, Mr. Landon, and all the other movies/series he did. He was one of the greats of Hollywood. When my time comes, I hope I'm 1/20th of the man he was.
Life is tough, but YOU are tougher.. but I'll agree.. my sadness is for the young people. I'm glad I'm older...and was blessed to know times when there wasn't all this insanity.
Same here...
What a strong, beautiful man . R. I. P. He's now with big hoss , hop sing, and Pa Cartwright.
MM, I resent it when God's Word is demeaned. You said trite things that are disgraceful.
It is demeaning and disgraceful to take holy things and treat them as common. For instance taking the Lord's Name in vain is an abomination whether you realize it or not. Likewise heaven needs to be used with the Bible's meaning. As I had said; it's trite to make comments such as he'll now be in heaven with Hoss, Hop Sing, Adam and Pa. Likewise when Franco Columbo died comments were made that he'll be lifting with the other deceased bodybuilders in glory. Most folks have no perception of how sinful their common expressions are. Now granted, MM didn't use the word 'heaven,' he said "He's now with...." That is usually meant as a reference to Heaven. I can't imagine he meant Hell. But Hell would be the probable destination of those who say inane things like MM did.
Let's not forget Adam
Tim Carr please you self righteous moron
Tim Carr I’m sure that you’re sincere in your beliefs, but speaking as an ‘oldie’ who is now much closer to the end of my life than the beginning, I have met a lot of different kinds of people over the years, and I like to feel that if there is a God, that he is much kinder, more forgiving and less judgemental than some of those “‘believers’ who follow him.
When I was a kid, I idolized Landon as Little Joe on Bonanza. I watched his television shows Highway To Heaven and Little House On The Prairie. He always brought a wholesomeness and noble moral to television. He passed from us way too young. And in 2020 I still miss him.
What year was this interview?
@@abriellehorvath3195 1991.Landon died in July. His appearance was probably May or June.
Bill Lozier wow I didn’t realize how short his illness was and how close to death he was in this interview. 😪
@@abriellehorvath3195 yeah, Michael went quickly. If you didn't know his wife & children were at his side at his home when he took the Highway to Heaven.
Bill Lozier 😪
Always loved Michaels laugh...
hearty and real-
Wow..........30 years ago. Michael Landon and Johnny Carson were so talented and class acts.
Also Johnny Carson, those days was real entertainment, loved your show as well R.I.P.
It’s his humor, my goodness...I’ve never seen anyone face death with this much grace and kindness. I only just learned of his death while binging LHOTP (I’m so obsessed now!) and to see him at such a vulnerable state be at peace, it’s inspiring. I don’t even know him and I miss him. I hope he is resting with the Lord ❤️
