Some times TH-cam gets it right. I watched earlier the interview Clint had with Carson right soon after the awards and they talked about it.... And now it was recommended to me.
I remember watching this live when I was in high school. The look of relief on Eastwood's face was genuine. Heston got a flat tire on the way to the show. Back in the days before they handed out limos like candy!
Yeah, Heston will be forever remembered every time a school massacre occurs by an AR15 wielding NRA worshiping psycho. "From his cold dead hands". That's what he used to say.
……Mr Charlton Heston had the most beautiful bass voice, with very clear diction. It was thrilling to hear him live in a packed auditorium, as his voice boomed throughout…………RIP………
I JUST watched his interview with Johnny Carson, and they were talking about THIS impromptu substitution (His wife said to go for it or whatever way she phrased it, yeah, easy for her to say, Lol!!!!!), and he mentions the, "Come on, flip the card man", Lol!!!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Clint Eastwood was so relieved to see Charlton Heston he just ran off stage LOL that is so cute I've always loved Clint Eastwood think he's one of my favorite actors
If any actor were to make that biblicalesque speech today, there'd be an outcry not heard since the destruction of Sodom and Gamorrah, because a great many people would be offended by it. I truly miss those days of my childhood. I lost interest in the Oscars in the early 2000s, when suddenly the word "offense" became in vogue. And, Charlton Heston and Clint Eastwood on the same stage, if only for a moment was our gold. Two of my Hollywood heroes.
I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED THIS ONE, BACK IN THOSE DAYS FROM 12 YEARS OLD ON, I ALWAYS WATCHED WITH MY FOLKS & MY GRANDPARENTS BROTHERS, MAN THOSE WERE THE DAYS ..so funny I cant even remember the last time I watched the sick 1 minded zombie show today it is today
How good was this. Clint standing in... and then Heston arriving from transport problems and picking it up and landing it. Massive balls of steel on both of them.
He did have to stop to change a flat tire. This was commented on later in the program, with a joke being made over a couple driving by on the highway, and the wife yelling at her disbelieving husband to "stop the car, that was Charleston Heston changing a tire". The audience had a good laugh, and so did the folks at home.
The quality of this award ceremony versus the quality of contemporary ones encapsulates the decline of society. That’s what happens when you prioritize diversity over competence.
Lol. I can only imagine what was going through Heston's mind when he came in and saw Clint giving HIS speech. 😂 It's so awkward though how he just gets up there and gets right into the speech like nothing happened.
Love Burt Reynolds dying of laughter at 02:11 he and Clint were very close friends, those two go way back in time, there's an anecdote saying that they were both fired by Warner Brothers approx back in 1957 The powers that be told Burt " Now look here Burt, you can't act squad! then turning to Clint, he said: " Your Adam's apple is too big."
The other part of the story is Burt gave is sympathy to Clint for his tough luck. Clint said why? You got fired too! Burt (referring to Clint’s Adam’s apple) said yeah, but I can take acting lessons.
I regret that Heston refused the part of Travis in John Wayne's 1960 classic "The Alamo" because he didn't want to put his reputation at risk with a "rookie" director (Wayne). Heston needn't have worried. The Alamo was nominated for an Oscar as best picture and He surely would have elevated the role and brought out the best of Wayne and Widmark! With the duo of Wayne and Heston as starts that film would have become a bigger classic than it already is!
ABC would've got much higher ratings if they would've racked this up and played it instead of broadcasting the 2021 Trainwreck at Union Station ceremony.
That 4 minute clip alone was better than the last 15 Oscar shows.
Don't think Clint was ever happier to see anyone coming in his direction. He saw Heston and ran for it…..excellent!
Some times TH-cam gets it right. I watched earlier the interview Clint had with Carson right soon after the awards and they talked about it.... And now it was recommended to me.
Same with me :)
Same thing just happened with me I just watched the Carson clip with Eastwood speaking on this
Same deal.
Same
Same
A megastar , Clint has such a charisma that can turn any situation into coolness.
Love the way these guys turned an awkward situation into a hilarious one. And Reynolds laughing his head off in the audience. More relaxed times!
Clint is a real class act. Substituting for Charlton Heston is not a walk in the park. Heston had a flat tire going to the Oscars.
Callahan is a class act
@@guadalupeesquivellopez8284 not everyone gets that ..... lol
Actually he was stuck in traffic
And now is a bigger star
@@androogalt Both had a lot of class!
Clint was already directing, "cmon man change the card"
Burt found that funny lol
Clint was nervous, that was a last minute thing, he hadn't rehearsed.
Charlton Heston what a delivery. Great husband and family man.greatly missed.
Well said!
I remember watching this live when I was in high school. The look of relief on Eastwood's face was genuine. Heston got a flat tire on the way to the show. Back in the days before they handed out limos like candy!
Mr. Heston had such a distinctive commanding voice when he speaks. His movies and legendary legacy as an actor and personality will live on...🙏
He is still a "reactionist" conservative Gun Lobbyist
@@Maguirearch what’s wrong with that? People can have differing opinions.
He does ! So true
Yeah, Heston will be forever remembered every time a school massacre occurs by an AR15 wielding NRA worshiping psycho. "From his cold dead hands". That's what he used to say.
@@soylentgreen7074 this is the day Mesala!
back when we actual cared about movies/actors
a wonderful time to be alive
thank you
Legends. They can’t hold a candle to these two today
never to today's pool of talent. They are just milk shake compared to the iceberg the old hollywood stars were.
Jared Leto is trying, he's really trying.
@@MG-ei7pt He must be kidding. I first read the name as Jay Leno?? Now I have to ask, who is Jared Leto? I really have to Google this guy - sorry.
@@judyb737 Just because new movies are coming out nowadays doesn't mean that they are bad
So true brother!
I would have liked to see Clint finish it...he did a fine job.
That was terrific as Heston rushed up on stage and Clint was outta there!! Not his bag! Lol loved it.
Clint Eastwood is the coolest! They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
He is the last golden of hollywood legend. the very last one. Period.
Eastwood's So Damn Cool he accidentally invented ice coffee by picking up a hot cup of it.
……Mr Charlton Heston had the most beautiful bass voice, with very clear diction. It was thrilling to hear him live in a packed auditorium, as his voice boomed throughout…………RIP………
He and Gregory Peck along with William Holden. Just huge, booming commanding voices.
“This ain’t my bag man…” Clint Eastwood. Classic!
This is the BEST! I couldn't find this clip for a few years. Thank you for bringing it back!
TH-cam is wonderful, isn't it?
I JUST watched his interview with Johnny Carson, and they were talking about THIS impromptu substitution (His wife said to go for it or whatever way she phrased it, yeah, easy for her to say, Lol!!!!!), and he mentions the, "Come on, flip the card man", Lol!!!!!!!
@@elvicare35 that's why , I look this up
Back when the Oscars used to mean something not like the PC bullshit we have now
There were charismatic stars who meant something. We all miss those days when movies and Hollywood once mattered.
Quite, now just seems to be virtue signaling box tickers with no talent.
Consideration for others is not a bad thing . We don't need Trump idiots .
@@770WT trump has fuck all to do with it I'm English and I can't stand the prick
@@770WT WTF are you going on about?
Legend covering for a legend
Two Giants...😊
I was 8 years old when this went on air. Clint and Charleton; two Hollywood giants, in stature and accomplishment. What a sport CE was here.😄
hahaha Heston comes in and just cleans house. what delivery. those two are rockstars
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Clint Eastwood was so relieved to see Charlton Heston he just ran off stage LOL that is so cute I've always loved Clint Eastwood think he's one of my favorite actors
Carson brought me here. Clint talking about the stand-in after the fact: th-cam.com/video/ugYCSFtc9QI/w-d-xo.html
Me too :-)
Me too?
Come on flip the card man
Chuck Heston and Clint Eastwood ., two gorgeous ‘real’ men and gentlemen too !! ❤️
He actually finished beer in a can ?🤠🤠🤠❤️
Icons that will never ever be matched again.

Are you kidding ! So true. Do you think they can even read and deliver like Heston? No way man!
Oh, bs. It's obviously a joke based on Heston's career, no one would be offended, with the possible exception of a few uptight Christians.
You're speaking my language!
Dos Titanes del cine se encontraron 😢
Eastwood is cool to the bone!!
I like the story that Clint got so nervous after this he ran back stage, demanded a six pack, and swallowed every can. Love these guys
what? do you want too sing a duet of the bar room buddies?
Outstanding
My two favoratest actors of all time
Cool as hell!! What a stud that man was
Back when there were ONLY three channels to watch !
Back when the movie stars were actually stars, not some milkshake mixed with water.
3 6 and 10
El Cid , Dirty Harry . just cant get better than that .
Two legends
You are a class act Callahan.
Heston and Eastwood .How good was that.
I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED THIS ONE, BACK IN THOSE DAYS FROM 12 YEARS OLD ON, I ALWAYS WATCHED WITH MY FOLKS & MY GRANDPARENTS BROTHERS, MAN THOSE WERE THE DAYS ..so funny I cant even remember the last time I watched the sick 1 minded zombie show today it is today
🎯
Yup today it’s similar to watching the Star Wars cantina scene! What the hell happened!
Heston comes out and delivers an oscar worthy monologue.
Two legends!
1973...Charlton Heston just starred in Soylent Green, and Clint Eastwood just did Magnum Force.
And we are now at the start of the Soylent Green era in real life.
That was a dark movie.
@@tarikkhan2341 and we need a magnum force response
Academy (Hollywood) would not let these two on anymore. They would censor conservatives.
God that was great!
That's STARS!
Clint Eastwood is the coolest badass for over 60 years 😎
great not like the Oscars today. back when it was fun to watch.
So true I would watch every early April as they were on ABC and they coincided with spring. Stars unmatched today and perhaps never again.
You could tell that Mr Heston had a few years of experience speaking on stage in front of a lot of people.
Clint was struggling lol
My 2 Favorites of ALL-TIME!
What a commanding voice Mr. Heston had 🕵
Clint! love this!
Back when the Academy Awards were watchable.
How good was this. Clint standing in... and then Heston arriving from transport problems and picking it up and landing it. Massive balls of steel on both of them.
A little shame these two never made a movie together
"This is not my bag."
Clint ohh babe.so sweet and nice
"Come on, flip the card man. This isn't by bag, I tell ya!"
Now i wouldn’t watch the Oscars if was the last show on earth running in a loop ... it’s nothing but CR💩P
Supposedly the reason Charlton Heston was late was because he got a flat tire on the way to the oscars.
And no doubt - changed it himself, in his tux.
He did have to stop to change a flat tire.

"Flip the card man, this ain't my bag" 😅
The quality of this award ceremony versus the quality of contemporary ones encapsulates the decline of society. That’s what happens when you prioritize diversity over competence.
Burt, Clint and Charlton. When did the pussification of Hollywood take over?
Haha... No one has ever fled a stage as quickly as Clint did that night...
Lol. I can only imagine what was going through Heston's mind when he came in and saw Clint giving HIS speech. 😂
It's so awkward though how he just gets up there and gets right into the speech like nothing happened.
I like his crooked bow tie .
I just love how Burt Reynolds laughingly eggs on both he and Clint's wives!
what a great speaking voice
"get 3 coffins ready....."
"He gets the crazy idea you're laughing at him..."
Perfect comment.
My mistake, four...
….I’m sorry, that’ll be four coffins…
@@josephdonnelly3169 Not laconic enough. 'My mistake. Four coffins' is the phrase.
Both men are cool and collected and professional, but what a weird beginning.
THE GREAT OLD DAYS.
That line readng by Heston was better than any film made this century.
This is funny !! :)
Is a shame that these two never filmed a motion picture together.
True. But what genre of movie would you choose?
@@Star-Explorers a Western would suite for both of them.
@@jackprescott9652 That being the case then would you want a Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid scenario or are they enemies?
@@Star-Explorers i would like either way.
Now you know my friend the difference between Moses and Harry!
"A real professional" nice dig at Heston
The omega man
Love Burt Reynolds dying of laughter at 02:11 he and Clint were very close friends, those two go way back in time, there's an anecdote saying that they were both fired by
Warner Brothers approx back in 1957 The powers that be told Burt " Now look here Burt, you can't act squad! then turning to Clint, he said: " Your Adam's apple is too big."
Burt told that story but Clint never backed it up because it wasn't true. Clint didn't know Burt back in the 1950's.
Not correct. They were fired from Universal, not from Warner!
The other part of the story is Burt gave is sympathy to Clint for his tough luck. Clint said why? You got fired too! Burt (referring to Clint’s Adam’s apple) said yeah, but I can take acting lessons.
I had no idea Arnold Schwarzenegger copied Charlton Heston's teeth till I watched this clip. He must have been a major fan.
Damn Clint being bad is still 1000 times more charismatic than me being good
When stars were stars.
Wow the oscars used to be tight.
I regret that Heston refused the part of Travis in John Wayne's 1960 classic "The Alamo" because he didn't want to put his reputation at risk with a "rookie" director (Wayne). Heston needn't have worried. The Alamo was nominated for an Oscar as best picture and He surely would have elevated the role and brought out the best of Wayne and Widmark! With the duo of Wayne and Heston as starts that film would have become a bigger classic than it already is!
i love clint, but wow...heston sure knew how to deliver a line.
In all fairness to clint, he was writing what Heston put, so it didn't flow too easily
Eastwood: There are 6 bullets in a .44 Magnum. God wouldn't allow for seven because it started pissing him off.
They would never allow anything Biblical today at the Academy awards
Imagine, no cell phones. It's easy if you try.
ABC would've got much higher ratings if they would've racked this up and played it instead of broadcasting the 2021 Trainwreck at Union Station ceremony.
Good lord Clint would have made no sense reading that.
"This isn't my bag" 😃😆
Such a Chad
This is when these shows were enjoyable.
Dam…I remember seeing this…flip the cards man, this isn’t my bag…
3:37 Sinanju expert and Remo’s Master
Today it might be different...the "stand-in" could be high.
There's another video of Carson and Eastwood discussing this.
they should have made a picture together maybe a western.
Inspector Callahan covering for Moses. We need Moses to preach the Ten commandments and Dirty Harry to enforce them .
Good thing Heston arrived. Clint now only associated with coolly standing in. Otherwise he would be associated with that badly written drivel.
You can see why Eastwood was annoyed at the florid nonsense he was given to read..." go ahead, punk...flip that card"!!!
