RIP Mel. After he passed away, Warner Bros. made a special tribute to him called "Speechless." It shows the major cartoon characters he voiced with their heads bowed facing a microphone with no one present. It's still hard to look at without feeling sad.
The very last project that Mr. Blanc did before he passed away was providing the voice of Mr. Spacely in "The Jetsons movie". Thanks for the memories, sir!!!! No one will ever be able to make Bugs Bunny sound as cool and respected as you did!
R.I.P. Jack Mercer (1910-1984), Clarence Nash (1904-1985), Daws Butler (1916-1988), Mel Blanc (1908-1989) and Bob Barker (1923-2023) R.I.P. to these 4 legendary voice over artists that will never be forgotten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. also to Bob Barker. He had a long and great career as a game show host.
I’m feel so fortunate to be born when I did . to be able to watch these cartoons voice by these great men and women. these voices could never be replaced and never be forgotten. RIP.
I'm 59 years old and I make it a point to watch Looney Tunes every Saturday morning on MeTV. I'm an early riser anyway and it just brings back great memories of my youth. Plus I still find them funny after all these years. That's All Folks!
Happy Birthday in heaven, Mel Blanc. VERY VERY few people can claim to have left the world a better place. Mel is one of those very few. We will love and honor and respect you forever. Our deepest love and thanks❣❤
I used to watch looney toons all the time when I was a kid on VHS but I didn't know Mel blanc was the voice of the characters but when I found out that he was doing the voice of them All I had to say was thank you for all of the happiness that you brought to my life thank you so much Mel blanc Rest In Peace
I didn't expect to see a couple of other top voice actors at the close of the video so be sure to watch the video all the way through. I enjoyed the clip...1980 is the year Mel began his association with the Heathcliff franchise. He became the voice of that character in 1980 and it became the last original character Mel provided vocals for.
Noel took over for Mel on occasion if needed. For example, he provided voices for most of the Looney Tunes (including Elmer Fudd) for PSA’s and Armed Forces broadcasts whilst Mel was recovering from his 1961 auto accident.
Hippie 78: the real King is Mr Rogers of Mister Rogers Neighborhood and he had voices too for the puppets of the neighborhood of make believe including his real voice which is very soothing and peaceful plus he's more popular then Mel Blanc and Looney Tunes. Now that's the real King
@@jonathanclary3992 More popular than Mel Blanc? Your comment proves that STUPID CAN'T GET ANY WORSE. MEL BLANC IS THE GREATEST VOICE ACTOR OF ALL-TIME BAR NONE
@@ronniemoon57 But What Mr. Rogers Who Gave Us So much Happiness and Joy Especially when we take a trip to The Neighborhood of Make Believe plus he also did all the Puppets in the Neighborhood plus he also says you always make each day a special day for me by just your being you one only one person in the whole world like you and that's you yourself and people can like you just the way you are. NOW THAT BEATS MEL BLANC AND YOUR CRUDDY WORDS OUT ANY DAY!!! NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF ENTERTAINMENT AND SENTIMENTAL VALUE WHAT MR. ROGERS BOUGHT TO TELEVISION THAT WHAT MEL BLANC NEVER BOUGHT EXCEPT CARTOONS!!! NOW THAT'S BAR-NON BEST BELIEVE IT!!!
What else can you say about a man who named his son White (Blanc) Christmas (Noel)? Mel Blanc will forever be remembered as the greatest voice-over actor whose talent gave voice and life to characters that we've all come to cherish!
Mel Blanc - one man who was all the voices of my childhood. When cartoons were art and were wonderful fun. RIP Mel, you were amazing. Never replaced, never truly duplicated - though many have tried.
He really is a class act. Who knew that he can make so many different voices? He’s just so remarkable, one of the most unique people I’ve ever heard and seen. He was very considerate, always thought about others, never bragged or boasted, was never egotistical, had a wicked sense of humour, very versatile, he had all the nuances to really make a character stand out on its own. He just had that special something not many people have nowadays. I can just go on and on about how exceptional this man was. He’s special, incredible, kind, compassionate and funny. Darci Lynne, eat your heart out.
Wow this is lovely. Had no idea Bob hosted this show. Grew up seeing him in Price Is Right. Great post. They don’t make shows like this anymore too bad. @6:21 is really funny ❤️. Great that Mel was looking for someone who could take over for him. It’s 2021 and all these years post death NO one has come close.
it would have been pretty hilarious if somebody in the audience inadvertently ruined the setup to introduce Mel Blanc's son, by being able to do all the voices perfectly XD
"It's gonna be tough to find somebody who can take over for your characters." Apparently, WB thought so as well, because they hired a whole cast list of voice actors to take over Mel Blanc. Not just his son Noel, but also Charlie Adler, Joe Alaskey, Dee Bradley Baker, Eric Bauza, Jeff Bennett, Bob Bergen, Jeff Bergman, Greg Burson, Jim Cummings, Chris Edgerly, Bill Farmer, Frank Gorshin, Maurice LaMarche, Gary Martin, Rob Paulsen, Keith Scott, Fred Tatasciore, Frank Welker, Billy West, the list will likely go on and on.
@@TheKitchenerLeslie They didn't steal it. Billy Costello became impossible to work with because he knew the character was popular. He started taking time off whenever he wanted and threatening to leave anyway if they didn't give him more money, which they couldn't so they had to let him go very early in the series. Jack Mercer was his replacement. Jack did the voice for forty years and did it a lot better. Costello was only there for the first two.
Mel Blanc was the king while others like Daws Butler and Don Messick were princes but all 3 were gr8 and wonderful in cartoon voices. Sadly all are gone from among us but we have their great memories of their voice talent. We all grew up watching these cartoons, commercials, and few TV shows of all 3?
Jack Mercer (Popeye) looked like a professional businessman in the suit he wore. He and Nash (Donald Duck) both died in 1984, while Charles Dawson (Daws) Butler died in 1986. One of my favorite Butler-voiced cartoons was Little Televillain (Chilly Willy -1958). The scene Mr. Stoops's office was the best part.
He didn't "steal" his voice. That's like saying the voice actors that do Bugs Bunny today stole Mel Blanc's voice. If you've established a character sounding one way why would you change it just because the actor is different?
I remember a gas station attendant or mechanic telling my dad he looked like Mel Blanc. I didn't know who that was but never forgot that moment. Now I am fascinated by him and he did look like my dad (almost exactly)!
A much loved man that is surely missed in the cartoon voices of many characters very few people even looked at the end of a film to read the credits but recognise THAT'S ALL FOLKS!! AND BUGS BUNNY!! SI SI A true man of comedy and voices . May you rest in WHAT'S UP DOC !!! IN PEACE!!!
norelco pc check out Jordan the Lion’s channel, he recently did a 2 part interview with Noel at his Big Bear home. Totally worth the watch! Great stories!
Never met Mel, but was fortunate to meet Noel in the late 80s. We got to go to his house and hang out with him for the day. He had amazing cars! I Still have his business card that says: Noel Blanc, collecting Ferrari motor cars and antique pocket watches.
He was also Barney Rubble and Woody Woodpecker. Fun fact for the day. Some say that Mel was probably the best actor ever. Think about that for a while!
Who are the 34 people who voted "thumbs down" on this video? So sad that this man's great talent didn't meet your high standards.
RIP Mel. After he passed away, Warner Bros. made a special tribute to him called "Speechless." It shows the major cartoon characters he voiced with their heads bowed facing a microphone with no one present. It's still hard to look at without feeling sad.
I had that lithograph but had to sell it to pay bills during the Obama years.
@@arpc0027 Thats very sad, Obama sucks. Id like to see or own it.
Even when he talks in his normal voice you can discern bits and pieces of his character voices. A true national treasure!!
Bob Barker and Mel Blanc. Two legends.
I miss when Hollywood was full of talent. This interview was simply AWESOME to watch. I cried when his son came on stage and kissed his dad. Love :)
The very last project that Mr. Blanc did before he passed away was providing the voice of Mr. Spacely in "The Jetsons movie". Thanks for the memories, sir!!!! No one will ever be able to make Bugs Bunny sound as cool and respected as you did!
Yeah but he died during production and George O'Hanlon who was George Jetson also died during production
Jeff Bergman did the remaining dialogue from what I've heard.
Fun fact: Mel Blanc's headstone says, "THATS' ALL FOLKS"!
Jack Lemmon's headstone says, "Jack Lemmon in..."
Merv Griffin's says, "I won't be back after this message..."
Thats sad when u go even me u go forever 💧💧
Mel's is by far the best. So iconic.

Their jobs were done. They were all called home. 🥲

And Bob Barker is 99

You never watched "loony toons". You were watching LOONEY TUNES.
RIP MEL WE ALL MISS YOU
I did not know as well, would watch the Loony Tunes slot on Nickelodeon back in the late 80's early 90's on Saturday Morning
Mel has entertained me for so many years. No one will ever get close. God bless him.
You’ve said it! No one will ever beat Mel as the #1 voice actor.
rip mel blanc u will be missed forever
Mel Blanc is AWESOME!!!!!........
You can tell how much love they have for each other. Mel was a non egotistical individual and am sure he was a warm and generous father.
Too much legend on the stage at one time. Bob Barker and Mel Blanc. The major-voices of the soundtrack of my childhood.
What a legacy! Looney tunes will never be the same.
2
Exactly, but its all up to us now to create more different things
Space Jam was a hit
I gotta say, Mel tried to raise his voice up for Daffy quite well here since they usually speed it up in the recording studio.
Mel’s got a golden talent, an absolute golden talent.😉
Several of his greatest voices were sped up. Not just Daffy, but also Tweety, Speedy, Porky and more.

+ACcountryFan They could had been better if those annoying clapping sounds were silenced.
Noel Blanc sounds just like his dad.
He totally inherited his old man’s 1000 voices.
In my opinion Noel is as much of a legend as his dad was.
That's talent!

It's really too bad the applause is so loud that you can't hear Daws Butler introduce himself and do Yogi's voice.

Grew up listening to Mel Blanc. Big part of my life. I don’t think he gets enough credit for how many lives he touched
Well, Noel only voiced Bugs in a cartoon once (Tiny Toons final episode)
Mel’s voice was more powerful than an entire audience. Rest In Peace Mel “The Man of a Thousand Voices” Blanc 🙏
And that's what is inscribed on his tombstone. "A Man Of A Thousand Voices."

That's crazy seeing Jack perform Popeye in person. And of course, Mel Blanc Forever for the win.

Jack Mercer, aka the OG voice of Popeye since Fleischer era in 1935 (as a replacement for Bill Red Pepper Sam Costello).
I need to confirm it, but apparently they had seven people play the characters in Space Jam that Mel was able to do himself?
Geddo yes...a legend tat guy
Mel Blanc died like 7 years before Space Jam....
Haquize - Exactly. And they couldn't find any one person that could duplicate Mel.
Noel his son...that's what he trained him for.
Fun fact: Noel Blanc was supposed to play all the male characters in space jam But he couldn’t agree on a contract.

One of my favorite Butler-voiced cartoons was Little Televillain (Chilly Willy -1958). The scene Mr. Stoops's office was the best part.
Daws Butler died in 1988, not 86.
Clarence nash died in 1985
The original Popeye was Red Pepper Sam. Mercer stole his voice.
Nowadays, Jeff Bergman, Chris Edgerley, Tony Anselmo and Billy West pick up where these legends left off!!!
He didn't "steal" his voice. That's like saying the voice actors that do Bugs Bunny today stole Mel Blanc's voice. If you've established a character sounding one way why would you change it just because the actor is different?

What happen to owning your own country? Who took it from you? I wonder if Vietnam vets loved the 70s as much as you do..
