Carroll O'Connor Wins Outstanding Lead Actor for ALL IN THE FAMILY | Emmys Archive (1972)

[@williamm374]

Carroll O'Connor was a unique talent, and so was Jean Stapleton. There will never be any others like them.

[@jacquelinebodkins8161]

Carroll O'Connor was such a refined and so intelligent when he spoke. It's almost like he was two men wrapped in one. He could morph into Archie. What a talent he could make you laugh and then he could tug at your heart strings and make you cry. He also I think died with a broken heart losing his son hugh to drugs. Rest in peace Mr. O'Connor never be another.

The chief was a sweetie…too🥰..

[@chipdamutt108]

I so miss the class and grace that actors displayed back in the day.

[@ezrc9294]

Carroll O-Conner - talented, humble and old school - whats not to love . As my dad would say - class act.

[@susanbumblebee6086]

He was a fantastic actor in All In The Family, my favourite sitcom ever. 👍

[@kwuanbrinson5006]

2020 and still loving Edith and Archie. This is the best comedy series ever. Two episodes truly stand out to me. 1) When Archie took on Maude😂 2) When Sammie Davis Jr kissed Archie😂😅😂 I can still see that shocked look on Archie's face. One hilarious moment in television history. 🌹 R.I.P Edith & Archie Bunker 🌹

[@richardbullis156]

Sammy

[@beeweejr]

My exact words, Susan. Best Comedy series Ever!

[@770WT]

@@beeweejr The one issue with the series is writer Norman Lear was not promoting Archie as a Right Wing hero but a backwards bigot .

[@beeweejr]

@@770WT Yes! Yes to all of the comments. Best lead Actor in a comedy series for the decade! Hilarious and Controversial. Laughed at Archie and emphasized. Jean Stapleton was great as well.

[@justin33.44]

I'm am so so glad this KZbin page is posting all this old footage. It's awesome to see this legends receive such honors.

[@AllenMQuinn]

+Justin Awill Agreed! I hope they post more!

[@MrMisterChiliPepper88]

Agreed

[@brentaudi9354]

So cool that this was shot on film! Those were the Days.....

[@cjaquilino]

It's hard to unsee him as Archie Bunker. It's like he's accepting the award. Mark of a great.

[@Ofinfinitejest]

The difference makes for a fascinating comparison with the difference between James Gandolfini and Tony Soprano. Two brilliant actors, both in TV series that completely changed the medium.

[@Mcdonald-ly9jn]

He always looked so nervous like he didn't deserve it but did he and many more rest in peace

[@rogerholzem2315]

Loved him! He was an amazing man and talent!

[@jonburrows2684]

Same here. I still watch him nearly daily, but im sure the meatheads will remove the show 1 day like they did the dukes of hazzard. They'll talk about a demoralize archies character but glamourize and praise George Jefferson. Liberals are the real RACIST! Look no further than the democrats running Virginia right now

[@francescakatz6563]

I'm watching All in the Family now,as I do daily between 6-9. It's sept.2018,this show will never die!

[@chiefscheider]

Cancel culture will eventually kill it I'm afraid. Too many sensitive ppl worried about other sensitive ppl.

[@AntaresReborn]

Humble & genuine compared to today's award shoes

[@erobinson5134]

Short thank you speech and he covered everyone.... good one Arch!!!

[@LiveINtheGood53]

A great deserved honor! Carroll O'Connor was also great later on in the TV show ... In the Heat of the Night.... :)

[@kwuanbrinson5006]

In the days of In The Heat Of The Night it was hilarious how some people gasped seeing Archie Bunker (Bill Gillespie) kiss and romance African-American Congresswoman Harriet DeLong😂😅😂 Carroll O'Connor did a phenomenal transformation with those characters. All In The Family is my all time favorite comedy. This award 🏆 was well deserving.

[@lynnecarroll9953]

Such a humble man

[@HeavenlyPresley-Tonya]

OH How I Love Carroll O'Connor -- All In The Family & Jean Stapleton - My Grandfather / Papaw Looked so much like him -- seriously He did

[@kwuanbrinson5006]

To go from Archie Bunker to Bill Gillespie was a phenomenal feat. He truly deserved this award 🏆 🌹 Rest In Paradise 🌹

[@dlittle39dl]

Mr. O'Conner was a true "Humanitarian" in every since of the word.......👍👍👍👍👍.

[@stevedotwood]

He really was. A progressive before that was a thing

[@njerzee911]

To see him also on "heat of the night", he is outstanding as the Sheriff

[@LuvTadnDixie]

Nobody deserved an Emmy more.

[@lemurianchick]

Deserved or deserves? 😑

[@citygirl5705]

Nope, just Jean Stapleton. Both were beyond brilliant.

[@peck404]

love....love...love him

[@chrisp1500]

One of the finest actors ever. From Archie Bunker to Chief Gillespie, he was awesome. It takes a lot of intelligence to play a bigot like Archie Bunker and make him believable and ridiculous at the same time. I felt so bad for him when his son committed suicide.

[@tomcloss9764]

Great comment!

[@kendallrivers1119]

It's even harder to make said bigot so likable and even sympathetic. NOBODY could've done that but Carroll.

[@beeweejr]

Yes Chris P.

[@seanmc7128]

Not really.

[@jaymike3302]

Archie's ridiculousness was balanced out by Mike's equal-but-opposite ridiculousness.

[@michaellang7908]

The best years of Hollywood and television! My favourite Hollywood actor Carroll O’Connor

[@xanlyladybug3]

So different from his character in real life edit or Jean was more rough and Archie carol O’Conner was more sweet that crazy that show will always be the best show to me

[@pennicoen5854]

Rest in peace Carroll o connor. I love Carroll o connor very much. Carroll o connor was the funniest man on tv in American history. Carroll o connor was so brilliant in his role as Archie bunker I felt like I was watching a real family. Carroll o connor was brilliant and a genius. I have tears in my eyes writing this because I love Carroll o connor very much. America and tv is not the same without Carroll o connor. Tv and this world will never be the same without Carroll o connor. God bless Carroll o connor.

[@aidenayla24]

Penni Coen you really do love “carroll oconner”

[@kendallrivers1119]

One of the all time great actors in both comedy and drama. Archie is a true television icon thanks to Carroll's legendary performance. He gave Archie a heart and soul which i imagine wasn't easy to do. R.I.P. to Carroll, Sherman, Jean, Isabel, Mike and all others lost from both All in The Family and The Jeffersons.

[@PaperImagesArtStudio]

These award shows were a real treat. Not the crap that they put on these days. I was very young when these were around, but I still understood the entertainment aspect of them. I think I was about 6 years old and this one was on.

[@marilynsnider8183]

He was one of the best. Rest in peace.

[@queensryche52]

What a class act we miss you Archie

[@MrRacket991]

His real voice was so classy sounding.

[@cornettejason3398]

Greatest TV Show of all time hands down

[@mattanderson861]

Way to go, Arch

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

What a talented handsome man rip🙏🏿 I was Born in 1972

[@a.b.sproductionsllc]

When I was a kid and watched him even on “In the Heat of the Night” I thought his real name was Archie Bunker. 😂😂😂

[@producerdirectorterrenceth1041]

And his co-stars including Sally Stuthers kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJnFd4J4irZ1ntU

[@Mcdonald-ly9jn]

A.B.S Productions, LLC that's pretty funny I know my favorite actor

[@amarquez517]

If you haven’t already I highly suggest you go out and rewatch those old episodes - I haven’t laughed so hard!!!! Or teared up.

[@jwelch5742]

Carroll O'Connor has great acting in All in the Family: Season 2.

[@andrewzaltman6934]

WTG Carroll you were my idol

[@vivianebeget]

they not make shows. like that anymore. best actor.

[@kwuanbrinson5006]

[@juliefournier2704]

He so deserved this nothing like Carroll. O Conner the best

[@calvaryapologetics]

And look how the Emmy's are run/presented now!

[@boethius9173]

Much more class in those days.

[@tonyareddinger6227]

I agree with with penni coen and Archie bunker is the best and funniest on the show all the family and i definitely will miss Archie bunker and i definitely like and love Archie and hope Archie rest in peace we miss you too and god and angel be there for Archie and edith too

[@ellierfromthebronx4531]

'Atta boy Carroll!

[@silverthehedgehog1617]

He said "You have to play a character like Archie fiercely, and never laugh at yourself. You can not believe you are funny." No one else in this life could've been Archie Bunker. He was such an amazing man.

[@bronxjar8441]

Think about this: Norman Lear offered the role to Mickey Rooney first and Rooney (thankfully) turned it down.

[@lilianmaher2809]

I saw a interview with and he said growing up he had a whole bunch of Archie Bunkers living all around his neighbour hood he remembered them and put it into his character

[@SuperWhofan1]

He completely changes his voice and mannerisms for Archie

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

💚

[@acousticshadow4032]

Carroll O'Connor gave us the most beloved character in all of American sitcom history.

[@donmaclean3016]

Archie rules!

[@Joeelectronicschematicsforauto]

He was so unlike his character that he played when he spoke he spoke so softly

[@tomcloss9764]

Those were the days!

[@smokeyjune1]

Carroll O'Connor is the GOAT!!!!

[@mikeandstony]

Talk about class

[@joeconrad729]

All in the family and M*A*S*H were the best series ever.

[@jenniferbenson7782]

I never saw M*A*S*H. Maybe I should check it out.

[@sandraandrews9907]

RIP to America's favorite bigot, Archie Bunker, who's with Norman Lear, making God laugh. Thank you, Carroll O'Connor 🙏✝️🎭😞

[@Mitzi73]

I wanted to find a video of his actual speaking voice.

[@lennypearl]

Watch his interview with the Television Academy, it's fascinating as he gives examples of different accents, including Archie! interviews.televisionacademy.com/interviews/carroll-oconnor

[@yvettegrant3335]

Although I think Jean Stapleton made him.

[@johnpinegar8027]

What are you highly thought of for that would upset anyone

[@kelleybrown1666]

[@monicavidal850]

Well deserved it

Where’s Bea Arthur’s 1970s win

Bea Arthur is answering to God for that UN-funny line, "God Will Get Cha For That One!"

Carroll O'Connor was great--but Connie Stevens was gorgeous.

[@HumanBeanbag]

I had no idea he was British!

[@mamacindyrogofsky495]

Don't look so happy for winning Carroll. 🥺😆

[@markmoretti9122]

Goddamn that's a classy acceptance speech.

[@warriormanmaxx8991]

You now want God to damn the classy acceptance speech?!?

[@TimothyVincentStBarts-ls7ii]

As Caroll OConnor focused on his celebrity status and image, he neglected his young son who finally committed suicide. Caroll blames a drug dealer but if Carroll had been a good father (present, talkative to his son, supportive, and loving) his son would have never used drugs. tisk tisk caroll. Many big name stars focus on their careers at the expense of their children. its called emotional neglect.

[@akrenwinkle]

Carroll speaks like Frank Sinatra, trying to be classy.

[@riverit2880]

I couldn’t put my finger on it, but you hit the mark.

[@akrenwinkle]

@@riverit2880 O'connor is on the sad list of stars whose child committed suicide. Barbara Eden, Art Linkletter, Marie Osmond, Mary Tyler Moore, Cloris Leachman, Paul Newman and more. I believe- as I recall- Carroll sued his son's drug dealer. The dealer countered that he was not responsible for O'Connor's bad parenting. I think O'Connor lost... but this is strictly from memory, and I'm an Old.

[@riverit2880]

@@akrenwinkle I remember coming across the same story. I cannot imagine his heartache. I give him my humble credit for moving forward and making others aware of the dangers of drug abuse.

[@akrenwinkle]

@@riverit2880 I believe the dealer, albeit scuzzy, did make a valid point about O'Connor, and I think O'Connor's crusade was more about his own vanity than anything else. I do credit O'Connor for his post-Family success. The conventional wisdom would be "Archie Bunker as a Southern sheriff? Who'd believe it?" It's the strangest casting I can think of. But did it ever work!

[@LuvTadnDixie]

@@akrenwinkle I just think he was angry. His child was dead and he wanted to go after the person that sold him the drugs. He wanted to go after the person that was giving his child the poison he was putting into his body. He was grieving and lashing out.

[@robertwheatley2471]

The most iconic and irreplaceable character actor ever. Many great ones but he is #1 at the top of the mountain..
