Harry Shearer | Full Q&A at The Oxford Union

[@therealbs2000]

The way he looks now, I half expected harry shearer to be wearing kleenex boxes for shoes and flying in on the spruce moose

[@dcdel1]

Exactly !

[@TheReloader]

Excellent.

[@romulus_]

...I said hop in.

[@OttoByOgraffey]

The "Hercules."

[@andyscott6315]

Howard Hughes actually

[@justagame101]

In relation to politicians appearing on comedy shows: 'It's poisonous for politics and it's poisonous for satire; satire is best practiced behind their backs. (Harry Shearer). So true!!!

[@WaterShowsProd]

I remember that episode with Jesse Jackson. The whole idea was mind-bending. The comedy was... as he indicates.

[@sashek8451]

I mean…the guy got his start as a child actor with Abbott and Costello 😱💛 what a career. Thanks for the music and many many laughs Harry 🙏 and everything you’ve done for New Orleans

[@billmcginley]

After twelve minutes into this "interview", I'm reminded of Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch "Arthur 'two-sheds' Jackson"... Harry's strength is his weekly podcast, Le Show. It's a window into the world in which we live, with minimal commentary and a lot of humor (if you appreciate the value of laughing at man's absurdity).

[@stuartdunlop8834]

To be fair, this is in the UK. As a Brit myself, I have only recently discovered and enjoyed Le Show. But I knew Harry from The Simpsons and Spinal Tap, so I would distinctly want to hear about that first. Hopefully this kind of talk will open mindsets more.

[@thephoenix3155]

I would like to see Dan Castelleneta and Hank Azaria at some Oxford Unions in the future!

[@mattington85]

The voice of Mr. Burns is now starting to look like Mr. Burns.

[@RUBBER_BULLET]

He looks like the Burns parody of Howard Hughes.

[@skellys1948]

You should look so good at 75.

[@Romans8-9]

@@skellys1948 He does look youthful for 75 but he looks so disheveled. If he got a haircut and a shave he would pass for 20 years younger easily.

[@Brianbeesandbikes]

@@Romans8-9 Clearly he's going for content not image .....

[@Romans8-9]

@@Brianbeesandbikes Never said or implied otherwise. I am merely making the point that the disheveled look makes him look older even though he doesn´t look that old.

[@midwestdepressed]

20:57-23:55 and 30:00-31:38

[@TimLondonGuitarist]

Derek Smalls is the greatest big-ass rockstar bassist of all time

[@arlLaFong]

Harry has done so much more than the Simpsons. After a while, I would say, "any questions about anything other than The Simpsons?

[@Ashencrowe]

I always joke that my friend Dom Davis of the Jack White Band plays Lead Bass. I captioned a photo of Jack and Robert Plant singing with Dom waay in the background haze: "Dominick Davis wows the crowd on Lead Bass, while two others sing and play guitar." Bass holds the pocket. Take the power back!

[@rapidloaf]

45:49 Little did he know that 2 years later he would no longer be voicing Dr. Hibbert

[@meandthemrs7403]

I wish I could have asked him what his most vivid memory was from his part on Leave It To Beaver.

Harry was the orginal Eddie Haskell character on the Leave It To Beaver pilot in 1958 !

[@KarlHamilton]

Tough crowd

[@rudyredcat425]

Omg. Losers!!!

[@cbevlib2525]

Weak crowd

[@Greeeedo]

Can you please get Noel Fitzpatrick (The Supervet) on. The guy is a genius and a great guy. His Q&A would be brilliant

[@andrewfutterman3346]

Harry Shearer looks more like Derek Smalls than Derek Smalls looks like Derek Smalls.

[@GroovismOrg]

Hiya Harry: So glad you feel you've gotten to the "muscle memory" aspect of Grooving music. This aspect is known as entrainment, something that's become known as "flow", As One, us inhabitants of Earth are here to evoke evolution . Groovism is human belief system, we're born with. Music is our powerful, common instinct. It's proven power that is now to Be explained, believed, & practiced. Technology has finally enabled our first step of evolution. Love each other & our daily Groove practices, will create a happy planet. Everyone's needed to Be in the band!!

[@justmadeit2]

He does the voice of Mr Burns in the Simpsons amongst other voices he does on there. Greetings everyone from the Justmadeit2 channel here in England :)

[@Cheezz_Montgomery_Burns]

Mr. Burns, Smithers, Principal Skinner, Reverend Lovejoy, Ned Flanders, Otto Mann, Dr. Hibbert to name a few.

[@jillianwebb-sear8803]

I love Harry Shearer but he will always be Derek Smalls to me

[@WorldsOkayestBassPlayer]

He looks more like Derek Smalls than Derek Smalls.

[@ucupi]

bass man spinal tap?

[@danielhoskins4690]

My dear god, the host was the least charismatic person in the room.

[@rudyredcat425]

Personality of a month old piece of bread

[@soundgardener4940]

Literally the first thing he did was interrupt & talk over his guest (00:32)

[@rienpost3145]

Put the focus on his face, camera 2. Not on his wedding ring.

[@WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

Nerd alert!: The Principal And The Pauper was season 9, not season 12

[@JimA-pp2nu]

sharp dresser, Harry is

[@horaceosirian8993]

The colour of his clothes complements the "set" design: orange & black (halloween colours)

[@davemorrison312]

He basically said that most SNL cast members in the 70’s were drug-addicted fiends.

[@mikearchibald744]

Not necessarily addicted but drug fiends is pretty close.

[@lukedavis3703]

This guys almost 80 but he looks about 60

[@sametozkan9175]

He almost played President Nixon in Oliver Stone's film.

[@JimA-pp2nu]

almost doesnt count

[@madickenmadicken975]

He is telling the story wrong. It wasn't Michael Jackson, who didn't show up. He showed up, and they sat waiting for another actor to arrive... in silence...

[@Rikket82]

Dan Castelanetta the voice of Homer

[@JoeNovella]

Zzzzzzzzzz, what?

[@IshadaKatzteilov]

I love Shearer, but that spittle, I can't sit through it.

[@davidpope7837]

Boring......struggling to focus on this interview!
