Many years ago I bagged Gene Wilder's groceries at Trader Joe's. As he was leaving the register I managed to work up the nerve to express to him how big of a fan I was. I expected a smile and thank you in passing, but I didn't get that. He instead came to a complete stop, locked eye contact, and in a soft voice gave me the most sincere, heartfelt expression of gratitude I've ever seen. I was floored, and honored.

When I was graduating from medical school in 1992 our class voted and selected Gene Wilder as our ask for commencement speaker. Our Dean told us the process. Dean Chobanian reached out to Wilder’s people who kindly rejected the invite saying that it is generally not something Mr. Wilder chooses to do. Wilder’s PR person asked Dean Chobanian why he wanted Mr. Wilder as speaker. Chobanian told him that it was not his idea but that of the graduating class. Said it was something about The Gilda Radner Foundation and about being a loving survivor of a cancer patient. The PR guy called the next day stating that Mr. Wilder wanted only to know when & where. He met with the graduates privately and spoke to us as a group and shook all of our hands and thanked us individually for choosing our mission of healing. For a slight man I remember how big and soft his hands were and how his eyes twinkled. His nature was so genuine and kind. I really think he was blessed in his life with appreciation and grace. I’ll never forget that day with him. On the other hand, “we bad, we bad”😄

I never spoke with him but I noticed that every time someone approached him or introduce themselves or ask for an autograph or picture. He was always kind, gentle and accommodating. He was older and looked a bit frail, but he always had time to speak with people and fans. He was known as the kindest comedian... A real gentleman.

It made me tear up too... and then smile uncontrollably. Came on KZbin to watch a 2020 PGA Championship highlight and ran across this clip completely by accident, so lucky and very happy I did. Gene Wilder was "Wholesome"; what an amazing talent and Human Being. Conan did a fantastic job; the Wilder/Pryor chemistry was amazing. I saw Stir Crazy when it came out, I was 11 years old and really liked movies but hadn't fallen in love with the cinema yet and watching Wilder & Pryor was hypnotic - sooooooo great. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp and anyone else who had a hand in Willy Wonka remake should have been barred from ever working in the film industry ever again. I agree with some remakes and almost always understand the motivation for making them but Wilder's Willy Wonka was as close to perfection as anyone could possibly dream of achieving. To think you could do it better or have a more interesting perspective/take is absolutely absurd. If you had no idea the Wilder Wonka existed, Burton's movie is good, definitely not a bad film. However, if you have seen the original then just about all you can think about while watching Depp is "WTF?!?!?" Like a previous comment stated, "the world dimmed a little the day he passed" and it was a light that cannot and will not ever be replaced...

@@jamesalan3450 I too was just randomly suggested to watch this by the strange, nonsensical KZbin algorithm that is seemingly in charge of what I click 😂 but seeing as I greatly love both of these men ( & amazingly lucky to have met and shook hands with one of them, actually! #humblebrag ) it makes sense but still odd because before that I was watching video about an insane serial killer but I digress. Gene Wilder always seemed just about as sweet as they come, I remember when I went down a rabbit hole of interviews with him, admiring his humble, soft and loving nature. He seemed like such a different person than the many wild roles he played in comparison, just a quiet man who is peaceful and decidedly chose optimism, despite his life's tragedies. I remember being so sad when he passed away and my Mom sweetly saying that she hoped he was reunited with Gilda somehow. P.S. I just realized when I talked about Wilder "choosing optimism" that it 100% aligns with Conan's departure from NBC when he said right at the end of the last show, “Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism - it's my least favorite quality, and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen.” I guess the algorithm *does* know what its doing, cuz I definitely needed to be reminded to that today. Life is weirdly beautiful like that. Hang in there, for anyone else out there who is going through a tough time... ❤️

Well, in the 8 years i read his meter, for about twenty times he was there at his house he knew I was coming and would be waiting for me after I walked up his driveway. This guy Mr. Wilder, would make the effort to walk out of the house and greet me BY NAME and ask me how my day was going and he did it with real sincerity too, i could tell. Our conversations only lasted about five minutes BUT... he conversed with me, a lowly meter reader ONCE a month I visited his house to read his meter and either he was too bored or he really cared about people in general.

He later said that he will never forget the day Willy Wonka apologized to him and gave him a big tip.

One of the things I'm really noticing with Gene is his ability to express what he wants to express without going down any rabbit holes or over-explaining. The vast majority of older people tend to do this-- not Gene. He just says what he needs to say and then listens. Older people who do that: I really respect that. Even aged, they still are mindful of others.
Wow, great observation. He is great at saying what he means and letting it simmer. Probably something that can't be taught, more art than science.

"And they wanted the line drawn" This man understood children

THIS is what adults dont get. Kids want to be scared a bit. Kids may enjoy pure sugar fluff like most modern disney films, but deep down children have a desire for darker fare. The Brothers Grimm understood that.

MichaelNNY The older Disney guys got that too.

@@jacobscherlinger3953 Yeah.... I think people forget that for the majority of Disney Films ...something heartbreaking happens, typically because someone dies. And in Disney Cartoons ...well ...they started the whole "Cartoon Violence" media craze. This is a company depicted about families ...and for the most part children. Disney didn't pull punches. There was always kids crying in the theaters lol.

Because he remained one in a sense. Youll very rarely meet an adult thats as genuine as a child. He was.

I think he took the approach of Mr Rogers and had it down to almost a science.

I've never seen Conan so emotional in an interview. Beautiful moment.

I had the privilege to meet Gene Wilder years ago, and I’ve never met a more kinder, gentler, genuine person in my life. There I was trying not to fandom all over him, and he was just so gracious, so accommodating, just such a genuine guy all round. World needs more of him.

What a beautiful man Gene Wilder was and what a fantastic interview conducted here by Conan. A funny Conan is always great but a serious and sincere Conan is by far my favorite, you can tell this really meant something for him.

Conan is a masterful interviewer. He knows exactly how to honor his guest and let them shine through

Agree 100%. I can't watch late night stuff since he left - the hosts don't know how to treat their guests properly. Conan was always a class act.
