Bobcat Goldthwait on Bill Cosby, Robin Williams & new doc

[@Tommass79]

Bobcat is far more intelligent insightful and articulate than his police academy appearances allowed for...this guy is gold.

[@kitparts3367]

...which is very uncharacteristic of most everyone with any linkage to Hollywood!

[@Jenksauto]

Some might say he is gold-thwait

[@prodigalus]

wow. that statement of yours says a lot about what you know about comedic "gold". give up, dude. we already saw the real you. 😂😂😂

[@Syklonus]

If people can't mentally separate a movie character from an actor then they are borderline dangerous.

[@tamjansan1154]

Bobcat aged gracefully in every way.

[@gigicassel1804]

Bobcat Goldthwait is one of the most under-appreciated comedians. I love his stand-up I love his movies. If you get a chance you should see his first directorial film shakes the clown which is funny but in a way touching too. I just wish more people knew who he is. I also really enjoy listening to him doing interviews because he's a really intelligent guy and very well-spoken

[@jamesprice2163]

I love his stories and stand up I honestly listen to him alot

[@PsychedelicChameleon]

Thank you Mr. King and show producers for putting this interview online!

[@lesterfalcon1350]

11:33 that's a really subtle impression of Robin Williams, but you can rally hear him.

[@quelorepario]

Omg, was he "in character" for 40 years? And all this time I thought that he had a speech impediment lol That's freaking commitment.

[@Do_not_assume]

I thought he actually spoke like zed in police academy.

[@zodarian6705]

​@@Do_not_assumeyou should really check out some of his stand up he goes in and out of character

[@patrickgannon1677]

Did this interview end unexpectedly? Bobcat was into a thought and Larry just did a "Bobcat Goldthwait" glad to have you on the show.

[@TheChristafershawn]

Yeah, Larry has some dementia issue himself it seems. Awkward abrupt ending for sure.

[@lorriesmith5086]

His real voice is intelligent and soothing. His comedic voice was pure genius! Gotta love this man!

[@joemorrow8411]

Yep he's number one

[@WonderfulDay2023]

First time watching him talk normal after PA and his interviews when he was young.

[@onkelmarvin8360]

" Bobcat " is a one of a kind comedian. There´s very few of those. Mitch Hedberg, Steven Wright, Gilbert Gottfried, Robin Williams................and Bobcat...........all came up with a character and a style, which was their own............no other comedian was like them..........they were all absolutely unique.........

[@seanmohamad5701]

Wow, what a transformation. He is one of the unique and rare characters during the 80’s. Especially Police Academy 😁

[@tisme6875]

Even way back when he played a punk gangster turned cop in Police Academy, and voiced a bunny on UnHappily Ever After...I knew this man was a genius

[@rvpstudiosstudios1028]

“Why were you yelling??”.. ‘because they didn’t have a P.A. system....’...HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[@jaywilley955]

This documentary is astoundingly good. Harrowing and unfortunate, but extraordinarily well done.

[@rylieriley]

My first encounter with Bobcat Goldthwait as a director was when I watched the movie God Bless America. I was impressed, to say the least. That movie is an interesting piece of work. I watch it about once every year or two.

[@joemorrow8411]

What was the impressive part

[@katebloggs]

@@joemorrow8411Impressive that he didn’t take his viewers intelligence for granted!

[@cattuslavandula]

The first time I saw Bobcat was on MTV. "Is your daughter home....?" Hahaha!

[@rustytaylor9527]

For the people are saying that thy are used to hearing "the voice" watch Worlds Greatest Dad and Sleeping Dogs Lie, he's a very good director

[@BrokeNerfing]

Or Shakes the Clown!

[@rustytaylor9527]

@@BrokeNerfing i have the VHS.

[@danijelujcic8644]

and God Bless America

[@johnnyfrantz6333]

Haha just found this. I worked w this guy way back. I remember when the scream came in. I think I even remember the bit. Lol

[@kurtnunn6116]

One of my favorite Barry Crimmins jokes was about smuggling books into Kentucky

[@Crmsnraider]

Nice interview with Bobcat; When was this filmed? Barry Crimmons R.I.P hes passed now. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@blazerocker1734]

If you really don't know Bobcat you should check out some of the stand-up he's done in the past 25 years. It's great stuff, and his more recent stuff is pretty much Bobcat being himself. Anything before 95' has a lot more of the Police Academy persona that many remember him for, but that's good too.

[@leandrobatt8122]

Bobcat is an absolute national treasure.

[@valdez380]

Watch the movie One Crazy Summer if you haven't yet. A movie Bobcat was in before Police Academy. He was funny in it.

[@tom_olofsson]

Bob was so good that I was tempted to subscribe to this channel.

[@timmooney6910]

I remember Barry Crimmins as a well regarded comic in the Boston area back in the early ‘80’s. I never knew about all this other stuff going on in his life. I want to check out this movie.

[@ChristianNelsonn]

This is the first time I'm seeing Bobcat Goldthwait out of the Police Academy movies. However I've seen impressions of him that also portrayed him as his character in said movies and it's a very pleasant and interesting surprise to see him "normal". Edit: Ok, listening further in, it's now apparent to me that it was a character he created as an alter ego.

[@TylerSmithPunksOnPizza]

He was in an episode of Tales From The Crypt with Don Rickles, absolutely incredible episode

[@AltimaNEO]

It's the same for Gilbert Gottfried

[@networknate1618]

Am I the only one that was waiting for that tight screeching voice? Haha I love this though

[@SecondEvilEx]

Me too lmao

[@christianjames1586]

Yeah I was

[@JohannesYtterstrom]

"Worlds Greatest Dad" starts in a rather weird way but with time it gets pretty good! I won't say it is the best film ever but if you like something a bit odd you should check it out!

[@litfrenzy3345]

If you want to see Bobcat at his best, his first HBO special (1985?). Un-believeable!!! He is wearing brown on brown. If you can find it, it's a priceless treasure!!!

[@durtybeats36]

when he was asked if he still does stand up you can see him fighting to not let out his screamer persona. he wants to be taken serious now. I cant imagine what's going in his mind. pure chaos probably.

[@debbiestrom6842]

Love him talking normal.

[@marklarsontube556]

Just read up on Barry Crimmins. The original To Catch A Predator. Respect.

[@brandonc.3935]

you know what was weird. like one second before larry said "we will have more with bobcat after this" i had an ad start, crazy timing

[@danicegewiss862]

I had Dean Graziosi selling something. I hate his ads.

[@rvpstudiosstudios1028]

...this is the first time I’ve seen Bobcat speaking ‘normal’...NOT a character...like most of his previous interviews...

[@Yikkkes23]

Wtf he talks normal??

[@annetteslife]

I know right

[@infinite8382]

R.I.P. Barry Crimmins, Jul 3, 1953 - Feb 28, 2018.

[@johnkoziol9397]

What Bobcat Goldthwait said about Robin Williams being a great guy is ABSOLUTELY dead on!!! I saw a photograph of a girl who was in a convenience store and had spotted Robin Williams getting -- if I remember correctly -- a carton of milk. She asked him if he would be willing to be photographed with her. He graciously and I mean GRACIOUSLY did just that!!! He didn't have to but he did. Great guy, great talent. Man oh man, do I ever miss him! I always liked Bobcat's comedy too. I can understand why he gave up doing the screaming character he used to do for his standup but it was DEFINITELY one great character to be sure!!!

[@johnperrigo6474]

Being gracious should be the norm, so I don't see why it's to be praised so highly.

[@bygoneera9521]

John Koziol how do you graciously, and I mean GRACIOUSLY take a picture with someone exactly? And that’s your evidence for him being a great guy....Jesus! 🤪

[@DoubleMonoLR]

@@johnperrigo6474 Imagine *never* being able to have privacy in public, it could be very difficult & wearing to always have strangers approaching/watching you. Yeah, being nice on 1 occasion doesn't mean much, but general consensus seems to be that he did treat people well.

[@SceneComparisons]

is this an old interview? I saw the doc a long time ago on Netflix why is he promoting this doc now?

[@danijel-ch2gk]

I think most of his recent interviews were done shortly after Robin Williams died.

[@TheNickDinsmore]

I got Bobcat involved in one of Eugene’s pro wrestling matches one night. Great moment.

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

When Larry's skull breaks through his skin he would somehow still be alive and have a show

[@lorriesmith5086]

He's actually been dead for 23 years, but no one bothered to tell him. He just keeps working!

[@SixTenVisuals]

@Jonathan Kent That's too much time for one man to have...but it is COvid era, so it's cool.

[@TapeCollageForEloise]

Why does Larry still use a leftover set from a 90's episode of Judge Judy?

[@Jripey13]

[@erichvonmolder9310]

Bobcat has a really good scary movie about Bigfoot, he wrote and directed it.

[@erichvonmolder9310]

@monokhem , ok.

[@troydenbrum2979]

How dare Larry King mispronounce Bobscratch Goldfart.

[@chardiemacdennis7218]

🤣

[@James-iu1cf]

Yes. Go watch this film, Call Me Lucky is great.

[@grandwaha]

He was on the show Looking for Bigfoot he was serious but still screwing around with the cast

[@A_M_P_]

Bobcat's New York accent (Syracuse apparently) is pretty thick when he talks in his normal voice.

[@sammyc7565]

Does anyone know that Larry King is 253 years old?

[@j_freed]

Bobcat has a really great shirt! Larry King looks more like a butler in the Hefner Playboy mansion.

[@surfsup5757]

I was sorta thinking the same thing.

[@avidnongetit8710]

I'm so glad Bobcat has resumed "normality", whatever that is. He comes across quiet, reserved, compassionate. I wish king would have given more time to Robin Williams questions,( not out of morbid curiosity) and king should have allowed Bob to expound on the Cosby from years ago. Cosby was allowed to continue the raping. It means that if Bob, who was a pebble to Mt. Everest, Cosby, (in the 80's) heard what those in power were hearing much more of. Shi# rolls down hill. Not information. Those in the know, don't end a cash cow. I wonder if someone else allowed Bobcat to share more about Cosby?

[@katebloggs]

The Cosby stories are out there!

I'm a big fan of Bobcat Goldthwait. I hate that he said he was glad Sam Kennison was dead. One should not say such things. It would be good if Bobcat apologized for that. I know, I know, context... It still sucks.
