Michu on Letterman, April 5, 1982

[@gregbillings4316]

Let's explain to the folks at home who Michu was.

[@benjaminhehemann8392]

Oh my god...call me when you’re done...

[@TommyWashow]

you know who he wasnt? you guessed it, Frank Stallone

[@PixelNotesMusic]

Oh, oh...don't do this, don't do this!

[@Konverteraren]

Hahahaha im watching that super dave episode again, that's why im here

[@krisscanlon4051]

Hahaha

[@lisettegarcia7013]

We'll miss this little man as many known him for playing in the ALF costume.

[@Konverteraren]

Of snap. Totally forgot that

[@penzman]

And I thought that Bob Einstein had made up Michu for that joke on Norm's podcast.

[@krisscanlon4051]

Absolutely hard to believe...SuperDave Bob was spot on.

[@chteyjdrushifdhfd8128]

He made up the fact he didn't speak english

[@slipperysam764]

In the 80s, I saw an episode featuring Michu. At one point, Michu warns Letterman not to mess with him "because Michu has been around". A shame KZbin doesn't have this gem. The kind of thing that made the old Letterman show worth watching.

[@dongiller]

This was his only appearance on Letterman.

[@hahna77]

Are you thinking of Ed Sullivan maybe?

[@anitah.7906]

Aww this was so nice to see :) My parents are acquaintances with his manager, Michu was spending time with a closer family friend of ours and he came over our house a few times. We are Hungarian also. I just remember my grandmother had Alzheimer's and she saw him walking in the backyard by himself (taking in the view) and she grabbed his hand and said, "Where is this little boys parents?! He's going to get lost!" Poor guy, he couldn't explain it to her... This was years after this show, he was 60 something.

[@hugoquintero9189]

I think you have alzheimers

[@jayfila]

Will always remember him as alf.. great guy

[@medzykh9455]

He lived till 76 so pretty good 👍

[@60enterprises]

I loved it when he told the audience off. Respect is key👍

[@toligen955]

Small man but with the biggest heart

[@olftheterrible8450]

I know him from the cover of the Doors album called--Strange Days.

Wow!

[@beastieboy9286]

Its not the same person the doors hired twin dwarf actors not michu.

[@Aaron-8989]

Wasn’t Michu also in a James bond movie or was that waxwork?🤨

[@broussard41]

Holy shit! The band played “Miss You” with guest Michu .... genius!

[@michaelridenour2113]

You are probably the only person that got that besides me!

[@mello4536]

Tq michu...2024 first saw ALf...i like it...best comedy...tq all the castings in alf...😊😊😊

[@S4LeHForDesign1]

RIP Michu

[@dongiller]

No, he passed this last June.

[@opalwolf12]

Don Giller Their comment is from six months ago, so it isn't related to the current articles claiming he died in December, as it was written prior to them.

[@dongiller]

My response was to a recent comment that the poster has since deleted.

[@dongiller]

The post was written by a Virtuvian Mind, who wrote on December 29, 2016, "He just died. 29/12/16."

[@opalwolf12]

Ah, my bad!

[@SpeaksYourNames]

I'll always remember him as Hans the butler from Waxwork.

[@unholydudetx]

Classic, I was surprised to find it on Amazon prime video.

[@reneewatters7182]

I loved him in that movie

[@bigmike6669]

Amen

[@dylanmoriarty6428]

He terrified me in that movie.

[@medzykh9455]

Welcome to the waxwork. Great movie

[@michaelridenour2113]

I'm five years late but thanks for posting!

[@roberteckler5317]

I saw him at Madison Square Garden in 1977, in Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. It was billed as the Marriage of Michu.

[@robertsloan9284]

God bless his little soul

[@spm_hcmc]

This is pretty touching and Letterman showed him much more respect than he did with, say, Paris Hilton.

[@LeoWhalen1933]

Well this guy actually did stuff and entertained people.

My Hungarian parents took us to the circus and afterwards called Mishu over. He was good friends with a guy with us, Tibor. I remember Mishu had a mouth on him and loved women. Saw him at a couple parties through the years.

[@МаксимМаксимов-я3п]

Миху Великий маленький человек. Царство ему небесное.

When I was a kid I had a poster of Michu and Juliana on the occasion of their wedding. I don't know why.

[@toddbrdusek7571]

Michu played the costume of Alf not the voice , voice amd creator was Paul Fusco

[@kanukki84]

Michu played Alf only first season.

[@mairacummings8079]

My dad would call cat Michu now I know we’re he got the names rest in power Mishima🌠✨💫

[@g.shumway5925]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it below so I'll mention it--he was on the cover (and back cover) of The Doors' "Strange Days" album (which I think was shot in Paris). That album was 1967 or 1968.

[@dongiller]

1967.

[@philneville9454]

Loved ALF x

[@user-ko4fx6th6k]

Dave was very good at having two conversations at the same time. He knows this whole thing is hilarious and the straighter he plays it the funnier it is.

[@buckypreseau7349]

he did not like being laughed at over the weak ass wise cracks. pleees, im vedy sediouse!! good for you little guy!

[@cherriames2183]

ALF was primarily a puppet, not a costume. The puppeteer and voice was and is Paul Fusco. Michu was only the full body ALF, only the brief scenes where ALF is walking across the room or something. 99% of the time ALF was a puppet.

[@akuma4u]

If they ever do a reboot , it be great if they had Anne Sherridene , Alison (the gal who played the daughter) and Ben Gregory do guest cameos.

[@annikataufer5463]

I didn't know that this little man was in the costume, but of course they synchronized it with another voice. I would like to know how he felt about it. I guess it has been a slap in his face that they did it. I mean it could have been possible to take his original voice and his accent because he was from Melmak in the story we all know

[@Jassa676]

Alf❤

[@bradyfry8031]

It's a shame that Ringling Brothers is no longer in business, but I guess that this new generation didn't care for old fashioned entertainment like the older generations.

[@hahna77]

I guess you must of missed this decade of gain in political correctness and empathy for both animals and also the outcasts and less-advantaged, that were once considered nothing more than side-show freaks. A circus could never exist in this day and age.

[@Superstarseven]

It's not 1888 anymore. Times change.

[@edyann]

@@hahna77 The circus IN GENERAL has been not only very cruel to its animals but also to the human entertainers. There's a dark side to it. Reminds me of Disneyland where everything is so supposedly beautiful on the outside but unbelievably dark on the inside.
