Harold Ramis interview for Ghostbusters 1984

[@eBenkyou]

Is it me or does it feel like people back then, especially great people, were so much smarter, original, creative, and down to earth. Love this guy RIP

I mean…it depends on where you’re looking. Not to discount the wonderful nature of Harold Ramis, but a lot of it is the venue you’re looking at. “Old media” television interviews like these are a dying thing for sure. You rarely see directors and writers interviewed on TV these days, it’s much more focused on the “sensation” (similar to how Harold speaks of the Belushi book in this).

[@djarinriduur]

I could listen to his voice all day long

[@stephenkissane4268]

His commentary for this film is interesting

[@sampunnett2131]

Oh god, I know right!? Wasn't he always just so ridiculously sexy?! 🥵🔥😍

[@ApplesauceNinja]

I am so grateful Ramis wasn't like Murray, Aykroyd, or Belushi. Ramis was authentically himself, and he was brilliant. Rest in peace, Egon.

[@jameshaggerty8348]

I don’t think he did drugs, or drink that heavily. He’s a lot more level headed and patient.

@@jameshaggerty8348 he did consume hard drugs when he was younger and continued to smoke weed when he was older

[@jameshaggerty8348]

@@emogolem that makes more sense, with him smoking weed as he got older, and I think he started taking it easy with the hard drugs when he was directing Caddyshack because he wanted to show the executives that he wanted to become responsible enough for becoming a director.

[@Cml725]

It's amazing, she asked so much about John Belushi, I wonder if she knew Belushi was originally set to star in Ghostbusters before it was rewritten. Harold Ramis is still one of my heroes, as a person and as an entertainer. I always liked hearing him talk and admire his intelligence and modesty. So missed. And Ghostbusters (1984) is still the best movie ever!

[@springtrap8489]

Chris Lawson yup!!

[@GiuseppeTamo]

Agreed

[@sandrabogan6461]

We were in love the summer of 1984 in NYC, what a great 3 years we spent together. Rest well, Harold. You gave me great joy xo Sandra

[@tenacious645]

Sandra Bogan Wow, no shit? That must have been absolutely unforgettable. The same year Ghostbusters was released too. I hope you have many fond memories of that time that must seem a lifetime ago

[@jedijones]

Ramis got divorced in 1984 so this could fit the timeline.

[@carollipton4584]

His official biography confirms that they were together for 5 years and that Bogan was on Second City.

[@theonewhoknows2]

Wow, this is actually confirmed?

[@isobignugget7497]

Such a fantastically talented writer. Always Missed.

[@raymichaels5022]

Seeing him in afterlife at the end was mind bending, not because of the whole special visual effects but from a emotional standpoint

[@whatdyousay1566]

He seems like quite a quiet shy person

[@edisone1]

If Harold had a fault, it was his extreme modesty. No compliment went to his head, apparently. He seemed to be a very humble, quiet and lovely nice man, almost embarrassed when attention came his way. The final minutes of this video are an illustration & education of how fake 'Hollywood' has become, not to say that it was ever "Real" - a series of questions & phony reactions without the interview-ee even being present. Did Belushi mind being considered "Chubby"? egads.

[@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621]

I noticed that Harold kinda cringed at the "chubby" question

[@badideabearcub2747]

On the contrary, I feel new respect for the reporters of that era, not only they had to make their job, but they had to be part actors. Cameras were expensive back then, so they didn't have the luxury of taking two cameras, and two cameramen, to the interview. And they had to remember what was said, after the actor left, react on their memories and do it quickly, because surely there was another interviewer waiting for his turn. And sometimes the part of the reporter would be erased completely in shows and substituted with the show host pretending that he or she did the interview.

[@allysanchez7275]

I never got to meet Harold That’s one of my biggest regrets like when I never got to meet Brittany Murphy , Chadwick boseman , Stan lee, and others. There was so many heartfelt things I wanted to tell Harold so badly. But now I will never get to. Poor man. He truly was taken from us far too soon. He had a family and children to be there for. Not to mention he had to be there for the ghostbusters cast members and keep playing as Egon in future ghostbusters films. Rip Harold ramis. May you Rest In Peace with your very own collection of spores, molds and fungus and a whole paper bag of big twinkies

[@jonathanmcdaniel1040]

This interviewer wasn't interested in Harold at all. You can tell she didn't do any homewrk on who he was and what he has done. She's worse than Larry King (see his Seinfeld interview. Jerry wasn't as nice as Harold here) and she veres into Jeremy Glick territory. By this time Harold had shown the type of comedy that he was about. Very cerebral and nuanced.
