Harry Anderson Magic Act

Early Harry Anderson with female assistant (wife?). Quite funny.

[@joshcarrico6534]

Goodbye, Harry. You were the best.

[@generic53]

Harry said Leslie is "his future ex-wife." Indeed. They divorced in 1999. So he's PSYCHIC, too!

[@kevinnelson66]

I remember watching them do this routine on Saturday Night Live in the early 1980's. Damn funniest thing.

[@ttww1590]

May 13, 1983

[@ttww1590]

Leslie Pollack was his wife when this was filmed. They did this act televised on Saturday Day Night Live on May 13 1983, and many times live.

[@Cherryberrygirl89]

Yes! She was very lovely 🌹

[@darkb4light06]

Loved him!!

[@stevenkoehler]

Best comedy magician of all time,and a damn fine actor!

[@TitoTimTravels]

I was lucky enough to see Harry Anderson perform 2 nights ago, and spend 3 hours with him last night in a private seminar (about 30 people). He is still as funny and amazing as ever. But you should see his "middle age" straight jacket escape. Hilarious (but not allowed to be filmed at our dinner... sorry guys).

[@WenzdayMourning]

Thank you for posting! This is an awesome video. I wish there were more clips of Harry doing magic on youtube. Better yet, I wish he would open up a club and perform again. He's so talented, funny and charming. LOVE HARRY ANDERSON!

[@88Doug]

I met Harry at a magic convention. He is such a great performer!!

[@kd5nrh]

Harry inspired many in magic and comedy. He will be remembered.

[@superscatboy]

Seeing Leslie tied to that chat made me feel ways.

[@22hpeli]

Seriously, if charm had a shape, it would be the one of Harry Anderson. He was criminally underused on cheers.

[@night1hal1]

You're a Wizard Harry.....

[@DaveDarin]

WOW, extremely funny. I knew Harry was a magician and comedian and combined them both but this was a first time seeing this act. VERY VERY funny and entertaining.

[@TheaterPup]

"You tied up my wife I gave you rope You carried on You tied up my date Handled my wife real wrong It can't take long We don't have all night" LOL :D

[@czechraiser]

I had no idea he did standup. That was a great performance. I hope I'll be able to find more of clips like that. Really excellent!

[@freecatpaws]

This clip really shows the genus of Harry the Hat. Thanks for posting....he's the reason I got into magic!

[@ArnoldKates]

I'm glad that someone remembered Harry's character on Cheers.😊

[@AliciaMooVProducts]

Hilarious!! Harry is awesome

[@DrMuzic]

Right now I am sitting here watching Night Court and have been for most of the week. I am up to season 4 right now. I forgot just how funny this show was and Harry Anderson's "Judge Harold T. Stone" character cracked me up just as much now as it did back then. Makes me wonder why Harry did not think he was an actor and did not feel like he fit in.

[@InklingStudio]

Oh, gosh , Harry and Leslie were such a great act . Both very talented. Harry says : "here is the lovely Leslie, my 'future ex-wife' . " I guess he was psychic . Too bad. But still nice act . Thanks for posting .

[@stevenkoehler]

Yeah-One of the real "greats". In my book, THE best comedy magician. PERIOD. My role model-and I don't care how cheesy that sounds. It's true.

[@Ellendejavu]

That was Harry in Las Vegas on DINAH.

[@peacefuljeffrey]

I'm so sorry--I accidentally hit the "mark as spam" button for stevenkoehler but I had meant to hit "reply". Steven's right, Harry Anderson is an all-time great. OMG I was lucky to be growing up when he was all over everything. I loved Night Court as a kid, and his appearances on Cheers--but MOSTLY, his phenomenal standup! Thank you for everything, Harry!

[@vanessahdepp1]

Now it's for real Beep Beep Richie. They couldn't have a better one!!!

[@devodavis6747]

R.I.P. Harry, you are missed.

[@robilove]

he's one of the greatest ! has anyone seen the video where he puls a toy rabbit out of a hat, and put's a nail trough it ...so fuuuuny !

[@starlightmemories78]

i am dizzy from laughing! so funny!

[@elasolezito]

-BIP BIP RICHIE !!!!

[@lunabrd]

he looks about 17. pretty cute, too :)

[@ttww1590]

About 30 when this was recorded, born 1952.

[@Cherryberrygirl89]

Always cute 🥰

[@Sunspot1225.]

Charm mixed with alot.

[@unclecreepy4185]

I could watch Harry insult people all day long.

[@oldieschick16-virgo824]

@DrMuzic i thought that season 4 of night court isn't on dvd yet...

[@b1orogue]

Harry was one of the greats. Truly missed.

[@DrMuzic]

Need I say more. Don't have to, you just proved it. And this bit about youtube as a social life. I have plenty of them, thank you for offering though.

[@DrMuzic]

@oldieschick16 I do not think I am allowed to say here. But there are a ton of TV episodes you can watch right from your computer online.

[@g9807]

R.I.P HARRY ANDERSON...you're making God laugh now 😢

[@rabidy]

that was great.

[@manlyone23]

Nevermind.

[@senseisakornsin]

He probably was a single performer who met and fell in love with his assistant, and eventually married her.

[@ttww1590]

They met when they were both street performers, she was doing a mentalism act.

[@oldieschick16-virgo824]

@DrMuzic so where did you find season 4 online?

[@DrMuzic]

I believe this was in 1982 there abouts.

[@EddyRice]

Oh my,so young. Where did he go?

[@c11p]

RIP, Harry.

[@robilove]

has enyone have the rabbit in the hat video ....

[@x4Diablo]

hella fucken funny

[@Chalumeau]

when was this taped?

[@oak4901]

Classic Harry in just one of his incarnations; he is good but I can still beat him in nine ball...

[@MARIATDAY]

I agree with DrMuzic. As he said they did give Harry his own show that lasted for a long time. Perkoff makes the comment that there are some boring people here and he is one of them. All you can do is revert to name calling when someone beats you. You need to get off youtube and join the rest of us in the real world perkoff!!

[@DrMuzic]

He did you dork, the show was called Night Court and it lasted 9 years. Think before you speak!

[@armenianply]

was this before night court.

[@ttww1590]

Give or take a year.

[@oldieschick16-virgo824]

@DrMuzic can you message me and tell me? I am going nuts waiting for the company to release the DVDs...

[@DrMuzic]

Oh, very mature. I do not comment to babies so stop asking.

[@electricrainbowskull]

so he could get out before her

[@davefox1857]

RIP HARRY

[@NMMman]

i know how to to do the ping pong ball trick

[@manlyone23]

9:25 it looks like she's flashing her beaver.

[@ttww1590]

You paused too soon. You can see the entire lower swim suit at 10:11

[@neodorkiss]

uhhh ok

[@Jeff9Matt8]

cool/lol

[@holdmybeer]

10:11

[@XxXthetXgirl]

Why would he push her for?

[@ttww1590]

To make it seem like he was slowing her down, and do set her up for the hopping back from behind the curtain.

[@hellplim]

9:25

[@johncoops6897]

BORING. Far to much yelling, far too little entertainment. Zero magic. Horrid.

[@Maniaxe613]

I never knew Harry Anderson did magic. RIP.
