Travolta's natural charisma shines in this interview.
Dick: "Are you a good dancer?"
John: "Hold my beer."
"are you a good dancer?" A question nobody asked him again
John Travolta has lead such a charmed yet tragic life at the same time.
he still does :(
Now he a bald has- been.
Exactly!
Wow, a young John Travolta. He was my hearthrob 'back in the day.'
Crazy to think that this was before the films Grease & Saturday Night Fever even existed & he had just been filming Carrie & he had done Grease on stage! And he had so much ahead of him in his career!
Just 2 years later he'd get an Oscar nomination for Saturday Night Fever. That acting thing really worked out for him.
Who doesn’t love this guy! Still!!
Hello Denise, How are you doing?
@@Kelly-nm4kw doing well. How are you?
What an absolute doll he was! What an incredible sweet smile!! I was very young but absolutely Loooved him on Welcome Back Kotter , he certainly had no idea what he would become. He is a damn good actor !!
He was pretty unknown to the masses, he'd done grease on stage, the film hadn't been made yet
My how time flies! I love them both.RIP Mr. Clark,eternal peace.
It's weird to watch this clip, hearing John say how he'd like to do more serious acting, having absolutely no idea what a legend he would become only a year later. And of course the question, "Are you a good dancer?" would never be asked again after 1977.
I was in the room when it happened! Danced on Bandstand that summer which was so exciting to me back then.
I miss the late Dick Clark on "American Bandstand" and on his "Pyramid" game shows. To me, Clark was the "Pyramid Man." RIP Dick Clark.
IMPOSSIBLY GOOD LOOKING, I MISS THE GOOD OLD DAYS. LOTS OF GOOD MEMORIES
I can't believe this was 40 years ago.
Wow...what a trip back in time....when GREASE was still 'a fifties thing' (the original Play)...and CARRIE was a 'as of yet' unheard of movie. By the way, I saw John Travolta in that Broadway play, set in the '40s, called "OVER HERE" which he mentioned. That was in the summer of '74...Marilou Henner was also in it...as were Patty & Maxine Andrews (of ANDREWS SISTERS fame)
The 70s kids....when we were young (er). RIP Mr. Clark. You were one of a kind.
The "Grease" he is referring to in this clip was when he was in the stage version....before he was cast in the movie.
You are correct as the movie "Grease" was released in 1978. Here he hadn't even done "Saturday Night Fever" yet.
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there??
Happy Birthday, DC!! You're missed!! 🎂🎈🎈☁️☁️
John Travolta is AWESOME!!
"it's a novel now but it's being made into a book" @1.45. Too funny!
They were talking about Grease, the musical, not the film.
L Conde bout to say lol. Did the interviewer Tavel to the future? Lol
What a sweetheart. JT is still amazing. Little did he know what was ahead of him as he was doing this interview. Saturday Night Fever. Grease.
Love John Travolta. What Jersey makes the world takes as my dad, Will Rosenberg, used to say who was from Newark-Irvington.
He was talking about Grease, the musical, not the film.
Another legend gone R.I.P and thank god I get to see the last of him in the New Year Celebration this year 2012, and we would never have a better new years celebration ever again without him.
Love watching this! Never get tired of it!!
Hello Diane, How are you doing?
He looks so different back then. He was a lot skinnier back then. He is a good actor and dancer.
I respectfully ask you look at this interview again. Mr. Travolta was talking about his theatre experience. Yes, he sang in Grease on stage. The horror movie Carrie was his first speaking role in a motion picture. It came many years prior to the movie version of Grease. I hope that helps.
JOHN MY ETERNAL CRUSH😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
R.I.P. Dick Clark.
That is very interesting. I never knew John Travolta was in the broadway production of grease before he became the leading man in the movie as Danny Rizzo. BTW great movie to have on DVD.
Hahaha! Look how old everything was in 1976.
WOW! Tavolta was young and good lookin too.
He also did good in the movie "Carrie".
Dick Clark lives forever in Bandstand Paradise! R.i.P.
This isn't John Travolta. . .it's Vinnie Barbarino!

Even today he has still got it.
valerie ehrlich lol Vinnie is a character played by John travolta

If his older self could tell his younger self that he was only a couple of years away from a meteorite rise
I love that guy's afro in the front row! It's great!!
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there??
On this day in 1957 {August 5th} the Philadelphias-based 'American Bandstand' debut on the ABC-TV network...
The first record that was played was the Crickets' "That'll Be The Day" {peaked at #1 for 1 week on Sept. 23rd on Billboard's Best Sellers chart}...
And the first two live performers were Billy Williams and The Chordettes; Mr. Williams sang "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter" {it peaked at #3} and The Chordettes did "Just Between You and Me" {it reached #8} ...
Well, I just found this note of yours - thank you! I didn’t know this fact...
That was my fifth birthday ! and I used to watch and dance with my sock monkey Jasper.
❤️
When Travolta talks of Grease he's referring to theater. Grease the movie was in 1978...
Dick Clark was a phenomenal person.
THIS JUST MADE MY NIGHT!! OMG!
That can be explained.....In this Sept. 1976 interview, he was talking about "Grease" the play....which helped him get discovered for Grease, the movie, which was released in late 1977....
SportsSavantTV i
He is 22 here! Awesome stuff.
Brilliantly ironic cos 'Grease' was a musical he referred in past-tense & he went to a 'Discotheque' where he was shocked to be mobbed by adoring ladies.Barbarino ,you are about to become an international mega-star.
First out of the Sweathogs he did a TV.movie boy in a plastic bubble then I think he did Saturday Night Fever first major motion picture. 77, I remember that, bcuz my then gf wanted to see it and her mother wouldn't let her bcuz it was rated R.
Its Not exactly a musical
He went on to star in Grease in 78 I remember that bcuz by then she wasnt my gf anymore.
Adorable
"Why you always gotta hit my hair?"
Memorable!
WOW!! Good times fun times!
He was hotter than hell then.. 😍😍😍
@@alannafallon504 I did not know she passed away. I did not expect that.
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe??
Boyish smile, looks innocent
That smile...
Super gay
that is too excellent!!!!!
Oh mah Gawd, Mistah Kottah.
Thanks for uploading this. I'd love to watch more of this interview... are there any more parts available?
Go john
I LOVE JOHN. What a doll.
This is crazy because right after this he blew up!!!! Carrie, Sat Night Fever, and Grease the movie!!! He ask him if he could dance ha! ha!
More specificaly he played Kinickie, a role played by Jeff Conaway in the movie.
the movie Carrie was scary as hell when I was a little girl it had Sissy Spacek in it
Wow that is awsome.
Very cool
The original J.T. My mom said I had to watch this show as a kid
He was pretty funny here! Kind of disappointing that no one laughed...
That afro though😍😍😍
Dick Clark, one of the smoothest cats on TV, ever
U mean smoothest cunts? Hes very bitchy and patronising here
Terry Hollas He was, he was a hell of an emcee. Think he was his smoothest was on “Bandstand.”
Dick Clark was a complete asshole when the cameras weren’t on. Arrogant to the bone.
i.fell.in love with John Travolta when he was vinnie barbrino .welcome back kotter
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there??
For all you young'uns who weren't born yet in 1976, the reference to Grease that they discuss in this clip is NOT the movie John Travolta starred in. John Travolta played a lesser character in the Broadway production of Grease before he was on Welcome Back Kotter.
haha wtf that freakin crazy!!!!!! Especially ashton Kutcher at the end, hahaha looks exactly like him
Thank you for the laughs I am sure you have real sources to back that up.
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there??
It's time to play everybody's favorite show, "SPOT THE LOONEY!"
they wouldn't let him in the disco.....famous last words.hahaha
This was two years before the movie, he was speaking of the play.
Damn Carrie is one of my favs
2:54 totally makes SENSE after this week's news on Travolta! LOL
a fucking black marker!! a fucken sharpie
"it's a novel now, but being made into a book"....John Travolta.
+EnigmaOnThe5th Awkward.
that's a Barbarino reply..lool
@maple99z This was 1976, long before the movie Grease came out. (he actually says his next film is called 'Carrie', which is a Stephen King movie with Sissy Spacek). I was so much in love with him back then!
he was sooooo hawwwttt
Why is that? He is not odd at all. he is such a nice man.
Are you a good dancer??? Man you gotta be kidding!!
MITICO!!!!
He shoulda showed up as Vincent Vega to that discotheque. They would have let him in no questions asked.
Is Dick Clark not the most awkward interviewer ever? Does anyone else see that? Seems like a great genuine guy and is a legend but..to me he wasnt the smoothest interviewer.
Actually he was not himself in this interview. I do not know why but he was an outstading interviewer usually.
R.I.P
@DerekBarns Dude! No doubt about it!! That is too funny. He's a total twin!! Good catch!
He's so hot here, and still is too. ;)
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there??
"90% of this audience is insane" yeah and now we can say that about Travolta and scientology
@maple99z Grease was a Broadway play before the movie. So I think he was referring to the Broadway play.
Travolta sure had some great hair back then.
RIP Dick Clark
EVERY BODY HAS THERE OWN FACE
@mgrove476 He was referring to the Broadway play, not the movie, which was made 3 years after this
Dick Clark before he finished maturity
@SoEightiesItHurts IT'S FUNNY HEARING JOHN TRAVOLTA SAYING THAT HE WAS FROM JERSEY-I USE TO WATCH HIM ON "WELCOME BACK KOTTER" AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT HE WAS FROM BROOKLYN
STRANGE TRAVOLTA.......
turtleneck and chain
Oh little did all know about....Carry!
1:57 -that 70s show inspiration lol!
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there??
Man that's me with the big Afro In front in the middle better known has Rico the cousin of Enrique Iglesias. One of the. Main dancer on The bailamos video boy was I skinny there miss those days now in Las Vegas nv
the big afro guy should move aside he is blocking dick clarks view lol
How was it dancing on “Bandstand?”
Dick trying to change the subject when John said he was pinched. Dick wasn’t comfortable about pinching apparently.
I should say that it was a "summer stock" production in New York City, not a Broadway production.
