- By request. The voice of Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, and a thousand other cartoon characters.
Another version of Mel's appearance has been available on You Tube since 2012, but the audio is badly out of sync with the video.
In this new version, the sync is ok, and I think the video is a bit clearer.
From E!'s syndicated broadcast on February 26, 1994.

The greatest voice actor of all time hands down.
Please don't bruh
@@Marvelfanatic3658 shut up Marvel boy.
52 years old... This man was Saturday morning in my childhood.. God bless him
52? Mel was 74 here
Love this guy. He's the very genesis of voices in animation.... full stop.
I know he's been gone 30yrs now, but the legacy he left for us will survive long after we all pass on.
He never left.
Letterrman was really lame in this interview considering he had the GOAT of voice actors on the show. I would have been excited like a little kid because I grew up with all these voices.
Very true! Mr. Mel Blanc was the AMAZING Bugs Bunny and Letterman seemed "oh this guy." Very disappointed by his lack of interest.
Agree
He seems really awkward in this interview.
I wouldn’t say he was lame. I say he was doing a good job. Sometimes you are speechless in the face of greatness.
@@claudiamontiel26 alot of times lettermen gets a little jealous of his guests
What a genius legend Mel Blanc was! He was at least 50% of the reason Looney Tunes was so damn good! I reckon they're the best short cartoon films ever made - to this day!
Scott Ward That and the great animators and directors
I'll give him a solid 25%
They didn't want to hire him at first. The only reason why he eventually got the job was because the producer who kept saying "No" died and the next guy finally asked him to do a few voices and was blown away by his incredible talent.
Mel Blanc will forever will be a legend in the cartoon world!
R.I.P. Mel Blanc. The world dearly misses you!
Mel was in a bad car accident in 1961 that left him in a coma. He was unresponsive when the doctors talked to him, trying to rouse him. One day, a doctor asked, “How are you feeling today, Bugs Bunny?” Mel answered, in Bugs’s voice, “Just fine, doc. How are you?”
Mel credited Bugs Bunny with saving his life.
Thank you Mel Blanc, For making my childhood so Great..
Such a legend. His work is undisputed. This is such a gem
There will never be another, not even close. Mel Blanc is an international treasure.
Billy West is sure trying to. He is very much the closest thing we have to Mels talent.
Mel was a genius. He is a legend
Mel Blanc the funniest and best voice actor .
He's a Voice God... Rest in Peace, LEGEND!!!
Mel was walking with a cane by this point, but he didn’t like to draw attention to it. That’s why he is already seated when Dave introduces him.
Ah, I'd guessed as much...Mel was tough enough to survive a horrible head-on automobile collision in 1961 at a notoriously bad LA intersection...and doubly fortunate that one of his body parts undamaged was his voice box (larynx). He had a triple skull fracture and both legs & pelvis broken -- he was in a coma for days.
@@MrTitaniumDioxide When he was in his coma I heared they tried different things to wake him up and then the Doctor got the idea to talk to Bugs..... he asked Bugs how he was doing and Mel Blanc replyed in Bug's voice.
@@patrickperalta59 Yep, he said, "What's up, Doc?"
Sylvester is his real voice who'd of thought. 😂😍👌
I am here because I was watching the jetsons the movies and it said dedicated to the memory of Mel Blanc at the ending credits.Now I know who he is.
73 years old..Mel Blanc is gone...but Thank God for the memories of great childhood
So amazing I grew up watching all those cartoons it's so surreal.
Mel Blanc was a master, nice upload Don!(im screaming this)
Mel Blanc was a genius.
Wht a guy! Just dont make um like that anymore. A true icon, legend and genius to the cartoon world..Number 1 in my book.. One of a kind!!! R. I. P. Mel.. 👍👍👍
I recognized his normal voice from a lot of cartoons as well.
mel still going strong at 74. dave looks like he's been up for three days.
He died in 1989, aged 81.
Mel Blanc was the first and original voice acting god.
Imagine if Mel Blanc and Robbin Williams ever hooked up to do a cartoon.
Love his voice!🤩🤩
All 1,000 of them!😂❤
Big star 🌟 you have there Davo ...treat Mel royally 💜💜💜
Many a Saturday morning growing up in the early 70's listening to Mel's voice. Excellent quality - thanks Don. [Classic line "Turned left at Albuquerque"; OT: "Rabbit Seasoning" is my favorite episode with Elmer, Bugs and Daffy (Mel did the latter two).]
Best voice over actor ever!
In my book, Mel is the king of voices! Mike Judge is a close second. ;~)
Gene Burnett and Seth Macfarlane isn’t to bad
@@fenwaypark1725 Agree!
Hank Azaria is a close 3rd
@@fenwaypark1725 *too
Not even close. You gotta throw Kevin M. Richardson and Frank Welker behind
love melBlanc ! cheers from Rio
what a lovely enterview dave did
What a talent!
Porky Pig belching after a big meal: 'Buh-bee, buh-bee, BURRRRRP!"
I wonder what ever happened with that teacher who offended him in HS? ...must've eaten their words..
This man was brilliant! I love my Looney tunes!😃
A legend I spent my childhood listening to him
I saw this I waited for this-- saw it in the TV Guide and damn waited that night for it to come on.. here I am .. old and .. what was I sayin'?
Get, I say get y'act togethuh, boy! Y'gettin' soft in the bean -- addle-pated, that is!
(Po' idiot child! He's a nice boy but he's got the attention span of a gravy stain!)
Do you remember the full episode? Was there another guest before or after Mel?
Mel blanc would have a special place in the mount rushmore of nostalgia.
Look at the BAGS under this man's eyes! He must have been in the studio for SO many hours every day!! WOW!
His stuff on the Jack Benny tv show is a riot. Jack would drive his character to the brink of suicide.
The man was a legend
I want that sweater!
Great talent..genius
Great talent genius..impresionante ...🇨🇷🇨🇷
this interview was implemental to me imitating loony tunes characters well, I started to imitate mel blanc's natural voice first and then highing it lowing it, or roughing it.
it ain't easy but it's doable.
If I read correctly, Mel was allergic to carrots, but he spit the carrot out into a bucket after he chomped on one.
The best ever!
Good good ..yuo voice...great talent ....impresionante 🇨🇷🇨🇷
Someone on another video mentioned his thick vocal chords, but you can't get the characters that this man had without being exposed to the humans that he was exposed to! Every one of the voices are unique, and believable! He was indeed a national treasure (as someone mentioned on this thread)!
BUGS BUNNY VOICE❤
I’m absolutely sure that you can trace the the entire semi-deviant “edgy wing” sense of humor of the boomer generation to Looney Tunes. From National Lampoon through Any Kaufmann, Second City and early
SNL. It’s all there.
Looney Tunes was “the Greatest Generation’s” gift to the hippies!
Dave almost seems disinterested. . .Mel is one of the great members of the "show biz" world, and if I were in Dave's position on this night I know I would be much more excited about meeting and chatting with Mel. Dave asks the questions almost like he's being forced to do an interview he really doesn't want to do. I'm a Letterman fan, but he seems quite unimpressed with Mel, a man who had a very impressive career.
For comparison's sake, check this epic chat with Mel circa 1980 that I saved from being wiped -- my old partner Dennis is as close to the opposite of Dave as you're likely to come across: th-cam.com/video/95eXCS0Qy2Y/w-d-xo.html
Wasn't being a put-upon, going-through-the-motions late night host just kind of Dave's general shtick?
Definitely agreed I noticed that right away. He just responds with "yeah" or "okay"
@@kenlieck7756 Thank you for the link!!:D Dave can jump in a lake>:P
yeah, that was his thing
just hat must have been an amazing episode, Mel blanc AND Hunter S Thompson, god that would have been an amazing thing to watch live
Legends
if Mel would somehow be a guest in the LS (say in late 90s) Dave would have enjoyed it much more
Those are huge eye bags like he didn't sleep in decades
Great
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
An American treasure kids today will never see again
He was a genuis ... who can match that ..
Davo was in the company of greatness #MelBlanc 🐇
I thought he had a son who was learning the ropes to carry on the voices back in the day.
He plays Porkie sometimes but he doesn't want to be as famous as his dad was. Too big of shoes to fill.. imo.
Read that up somewhere
Mel would've been the true godfather of beatbox ahahah!
??
👍🏻
No mention of the voices he did for Hanna Barbera
Funny cartoon voices.
Dude got serious bags under his eyes
Didn't Mel work with Spike Jones back in the day?
Letterman could be very stiff with some of his guests. Mel Blanc was one of them, on this program, anyway.
Turns out that Yosemite Sam was incredibly hard to voice he couldn’t do his voice with out straining his vocal cords .
Funny enough when Sam is being timid it sounds like his real one
Pepe never fails
He sounded young haha (if I'm making any sense)
1:25 lol
I wonder what his parents went through bwuth him growing up 🤣❤️
I bet he'd do an amazing Rodney Dangerfield
Foghorn Leghorn? Wisecracking rooster.
South Pole?! Ooh, I'm dying?
Mel Blanc infused more character into his characters than could otherwise be believable.
Dave looks very disinterested here...
