JACK PALANCE has FUN with LENO

[@timothym.salley3602]

The Late Jack Palance was and still is one of my all time favorite actors he was a very classy guy.

[@jubalcalif9100]

I heartily concur !

[@edfederoff2679]

My dad used to run into him at a little Italian market near Eckley Village, PA - they'd both be in there buying the homemade kielbasa the place was famous for. They were both Ukrainians, and they'd talk and laugh about the old days. Dad said he was one of the nicest gentleman he'd ever met. RIP, Sirs.

[@jubalcalif9100]

What a great story ! THANKS for sharing your heartwarming memory with us.

Greetings from Ukraine.

Jack Palance the greatest Generation, when actors were classy.

[@rj-yy2gm]

Exactly. Today we got whiny activists and people who slap others over a silly joke in our celebrity realm. The golden day's of Hollywood are truly gone.

[@Skidoodle555]

Classy, professionals, hard working. When not making a film, many acted in Broadway shows or in the case of British actors, the Theater.

[@zovalentine7305]

Rest in powerful peace Volodymyr Palahniuk🙏 18 February 1919 ~ 10 November 2006⚘

[@stigtuneback1966]

I like Jack Palance very much as an actor , Volodymyr Palahniuk , great actor .

[@overlapmedia]

The last 'man's man' of his generation - the real deal. He has grit just sitting there.

[@ziruk-king4466]

Just like Bronson from pa and tough

[@ChristopherHouse-dq9cr]

Clint Eastwood!

[@peterlewis3540]

His hired gunfighter role Jack Wilson, in Shane, was without doubt, the defining moment in any Holywood western. Mean, Menacing, and scared of no one. It was inevitable that the good character Shane, played by Alan Ladd had to triumph over evil, but that saloon scene. WOW

[@mikekemp9877]

jack said his famous entrance with his terrifying skeletal grin was due to fear!He had never ridden a horse before! He credits great horseman Ben Johnson for giving him a crash course between scenes to get him through the movie!

[@anthonyharty1732]

“Prove it” one of the best lines in film history.

[@mikekemp9877]

@@anthonyharty1732 very like the climax of big jake where wayne reverses something richard boone said earlier to threaten him.wilsons words to elisha cooke are rephrased by shane to provoke the gunfight.palances riposte is simply superb.

[@wmden1]

Yes. The reason he died so much in movies, bad guy. Goes without saying, but I said it, anyway. He just had that menacing look about him. Best line in City Slickers, talking to Billy Christal; "I've shit turds bigger than you."

[@briandavid3637]

And I heard your a no good Yankee liar,prove it, awesome scene 🤣

[@dbonyadi]

I loved Jack Palance. My father looked like him at this age. I couldn’t believe it when Jack did the one armed push up at the Oscars. He was a rugged scary looking guy.

[@derekangle9737]

That wasnt long after this appearance on The Tonight Show. He did those one-armed push ups winning best supporting actor for his role in City Slickers. I remember watching it with my grandma and you could tell she was gushing prune juice if you know what I mean.

[@xenolambrose7261]

And to think, Jack was 72 years young when he did the pushups at the Oscars…and didn’t smoke!

[@arielsalort507]

Yes, he was very strong.

[@carstenloly5009]

Rest in peace Jack Pålance

JACK PALANCE IS A TRUE BLUE LEGEND HE WAS A TRUE ARTIST,NO ONE TODAY IS EVEN CLOSE.

What an amazing actor. Can't be replaced👍✌

[@rcnelson]

He made a very menacing Mr. Hyde many decades ago.

[@ms.annthrope415]

He and Lee Van Cliff coukd scare a rattlesnake with just looks alone. Love them both. RIP to both.

Jack, who was great in Shane, is really so friendly here and funny. A REALLY classic man

You speak the truth, Kemo Sabe !

[@kystars]

@@jubalcalif9100 wow 4 years later you replied to my old message. I forgot about this one :) Thank you and YES, he was a really good man and funny! I loved him in City Slickers!

[@SuperBull41]

Jack Palance had an air of class and just one humbled guy.

[@tabeccaletford408]

He was magnificent in my favourite western Shane, and here he is laidback and funny Just goes to show what a great actor he was

[@yvonnerocchio8445]

Fantastic Jack Palance - back during the days when fun was popular

[@BrotherPatriot]

One of the greats...and greatly missed. That era will never be here again...people are just not the same.

[@deborah8887]

If you haven’t see Sudden Fear with Jack Palance and Joan Crawford, watch it!

[@kevinchapman8766]

Just watched it for the first time. Excellent!

[@philthompson8574]

When I was a kid I had to hide behind a sofa when he came on TV

[@marcroche9324]

3 minutes into this interview and I feel sorry for Leno. He is so awkward towards the great Jack Palance.

[@mabdog1988]

I imagine Jay Leno and Jack Palance were great friends. Had a lot in common with their love of cars.

[@regprofant6984]

Jack worked out until the end. Always looked in great shape

[@fullstrutn]

remember the one armed push up at an awards ceremony

[@jubalcalif9100]

Well said and well put ! He was dedicated to personal fitness and took VERY good care of himself...and it showed !

[@walterlv01]

Palance sits down and before the host can say a word, starts in on asking him something - completely owning the moment even though it's another person's show. Very few people nowadays have that sort of presence.

[@jiggermast]

Always liked Jack Palance, probably 'cause he was a Pennsylvania coal miner before the war & many coal miners from my town in Cumbria left for those very collieries. Scranton etc. my relatives included, during the early 20th century.

[@zovalentine7305]

LOVE THIS ACTOR. 💖 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@johnmacn]

There are very few films I like of his but this one I love. I didn't like many of the characters that he played but when he had a good part he was absolutely wonderful. Yet, I have enjoyed so many of his interviews or participation in game shows. He had a personality that was great.

[@carlandre8610]

loved City Slickers such a great cast.

[@Straker1923]

Legend! Only Kirk Douglas left of the hard men now!

What a legend.

[@scottjoseph9578]

Palance was awesome...and won the Oscar for that movie.

[@privateinformation9384]

Back when actors and show hosts had class and integrity. All we have today are shills

[@HotWins247]

Wow you can say that again. The days of real men are over. Now it’s a bunch of sensitive far left losers with Trump Derangement Syndrome

[@paddypibblet846]

They don't need unsuspecting puppets anymore. They can fill up the television using those of their tribe.

[@JakeWitmer]

Yep. Marxist shills.

[@vittoriourso909]

Uno degli attori più cattivi di tutti i tempi ma anche uno degli attori più straordinari che il mondo del cinema abbia mai avuto. Bravo, bravissimo, unico.

[@Brian-uy2tj]

My mom didn't like Jack Palance for the longest time because of the characters he played but one day she saw him on an early 1970's talk show. It was a "theme" show which was popular and the theme was "macho male actors" At one point the host asked one of the other guests about their children and he said "I don't have much to do with the kids before they get to be a couple of years old because all they do before that is cry and fill up diapers" Each actor in turn said "yeah what he said....' until they got to Jack. Jack said "You guys are really missing out because you hold this baby and you cuddle them, and coo at them and you hug them and you sing to them and then one day the baby looks up at you and smiles and is really smiling at you and it is the most wonderful thing in the world" My mom decided she liked Jack Palance just fine.

[@radionoakmont7756]

one of my alltime Jack Palance movies is God's Gun with lee Van Cleef x2 and Jack just pure western Gold also had a young leif Garret in it also another Jack palance western gem was The Professionals with Burt Lancaster but one of my fave sci fi fave Jack Palance movies was GOR the counter earth story Jack played the Priestking and later on in Cyborg 2 with young Angelina Jolie and Elias Koteas Jack just rocks even as Dracula and a mobster in the 4 aces

[@tballstaedt7807]

Saw city slickers again last night. I saw it the first time in Phoenix AZ at the theater. Fun movie.

[@talbotsplace7316]

Jack Palance was the man. Leno is lucky he didn't call him a "Low down yankee liar!"

[@jubalcalif9100]

Poor Elisha Cook Jr made that mistake.... :-(

he had a lot going for him good actor looks and great brain

[@onlythewise1]

[@shanekeogh4740]

Jack Palance was great, ever since he was in the film " Shane" and very funny!

[@brendarudman8806]

He has a nice voice

[@leonardfleet50]

"Play the gutless wonder, one more time Cooney & I'll ram this grenade down your throat & pull the pin!" ..... great line from Jack Palance in my favourite film in which he starred ...Attack!

[@commentatron]

Also with Lee Marvin and Buddy Ebsen - great movie.

[@jamesdrynan]

Palance won an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor for his role as Curly Washburn in Cityslickers.

[@arthurblackhistoric]

Jack had such an easy comedic timing, but his greatest strength was as a super-menacing villain! I reckon it was great to see him joking it up with Leno so lightheartedly. He was the host of Ripley's Believe It Or Not for the first few seasons and he brought an air of class to what would otherwise have been a corny TV show. I couldn't get enough of him on that show and never missed an episode!

[@scotnick59]

Jack's looks actually improved with age

[@jubalcalif9100]

I have a notion to second that emotion !! :-)

[@danielfronc4304]

Kirk Barkley Honestly? Did you see him in Shane? A nice wishful compliment but no.

[@TricksterDa]

That was Spike Lee Palance shook hands with when he first came out.

[@travelinman617]

Another great actor with alot of movies he his from Pennsylvania up north that's were my mother was born I was born in queens new York he was a rugged actor to

[@jimmyjennings8956]

Thats one scary dude and one of the best of the older generation actors, i use to live near the Baghdad café and boy is he famous there, the french love Jack Palance and they visit the Baghdad café all the time on tours there R.I.P.Mr. Palance.

[@anthonywest2989]

Great actor ❤

[@mcduffxyz]

Most Underated actor of all time.

[@phillott4181]

Jack Palance played the lead in a American Playhouse production of Dr.Jekell and Mr.Hyde and he was truly terrifying...around 1968...I thought he did it better than Spencer Tracy and that took some doing...Great Actor

[@jubalcalif9100]

Thanks for your comment !! I recall as a teen watching that TV version of "Jekyl and Hyde' that the late great Mr Palance starred in ! The late great Mr Palance was an underated actor and a true icon !

[@thomaspiccirillo6820]

HE WAS PHENOMENAL IN THAT! THANK YOU! DAN CURTIS PRODUCED THAT DURING DARK SHADOWS DAYS AND MY FATHER WAS HIS VIDEO OP

[@joekail8031]

That role was an absolute classic and he played it like none other. That cynical laugh and those barbaric psychotic screams

[@PomahXomehko]

He's a proud American Ukrainian his father must of had brothers not only this Chuck Palahniuk the author of the Fight Club and Nick Palance a professional singer all these are distant cousins to Jack Palance. A former Heavyweight boxer in the 1940s with a good run only losing to Joe Bagsi through a TKO Joe punched Jack in the throat and unable to continue Jack said this is nuts getting bashed for 300 dollars is madness.

[@charlesshankle3178]

Jack Palance is the only American actor that could have played James Bond. He would have been very convincing.

[@cynthiadaw131]

Yeah, he was a tuff cat!!! Lol that huffy puffy voice! Lol

[@johnnyjoey]

Jay is poking at him, but, even at his age, Jack would kick his ass!

[@philpotts3893]

Greatest Show on Earth

[@barryhawkins-sk4qq]

What a man

[@garymcaleer6112]

Few here may have lived back in '68, but Jack did the television premier of the stage production of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde. I was just a kid back then, but his performance was indelible.

[@ddo8521]

Jack Palance.. First movie I think I ever seen him in.. Low B Sci fi movie.. " Hawk The Slayer "

[@gatekeeperboxing5898]

What a great actor whether he's the Villainous gunfighter Jack Wilson in Shane (1953), the war hero in Attack (1956) or The former Gunfighter trying to do right by his son in The Lonely Man (1957) or his many appearances in more recent films like Batman (1989) & City Slickers (1991).

It's FUNNY people like David Niven and Leno 'bounce' jokes off of JACK, but people don't always remember that PALANCE was Not only funny and Dramatic actor, but this man was a Boxer with like an 80-0 Record he KNOCKED other muscular fighters OUT COLD!! So there is not a thing of weakness with this man, he was as real as MR. T was a real Tooth Chipper in real-life not just on-screen like some of the 'actors' were then.

[@TheBTG88]

He’s a big guy

[@wendellbatts2477]

Never realized how big Palance was. Man was gigantic. leno is 6,2 like 220lbs. Palance dwarfs him. Vitali Klitschko looks like they could have come from the same family. Not only common Ukrainian ancestry, But Jack Parlance was a hell of a boxer in his day as well.

[@jonjoyce]

Leno is just under 5'11 inches fyi

[@cidercik]

For anyone watching in 2022, he's Ukrainian. Now you can like him even more!

[@Bossrich6287]

jay was a rerrible interviewer.i couldn't watch him for years.

[@jubalcalif9100]

I find I must agree with you. I was working all those years he was the Tonight Show host & had to go to bed early so I rarely watched him. But judging from this clip, he's not a very good interviewer at all....just seems to be interested in getting laughs. I always liked his stand up routines though !

[@scottmiller6495]

Jay tries to be too funny had no class Johnny Carson was much better.

[@danielfronc4304]

Scott Miller They came from vastly different backgrounds. Watch an episode of What's My Line - Johnny Carson as guest (he may have been once) but he was a panelist many times. Carson spent years honing his craft on many different daytime NYC game shows, etc. plus he really was an honest to goodness natural. Emcee extraordinaire, interviewer, panelist, comedian and the list goes on. Leno was strictly an experienced stand-up comedian although he was very quick witted and funny. However, there is a vast gulf between the two and their skills set. I doubt we'll see another natural like Carson who is also willing to pay his dues to be at the top of his field. Nobody wants to do that kind of internship today. They're for the most part lazy and want fame overnight. Case in point, all these The Voice or America's Got Talent shows. Even network TV has yielded it's desire to craft good programming to cable. The times they have a changed.

[@thomaskemer8109]

He makes Fallon look like a highschool kid on meth

[@jimmymoss3240]

Jack: " '29 Cadillac". Jay: "ORIGINAL OWNER?" Me: "LENO'S got some fucking BALLS." and not just the ones on his chin.

[@AKSyndrome]

And you can immediately hear the audience "boo"after that cheap shot Leno made.

[@philsooty5421]

I think jack Palance and Jack Elam where the scariest western baddies ever

[@joeweider9471]

lee van cleef, claude akins, few others were pretty scary

[@mikekemp9877]

sammy davies jr could do the same trick with the knife and gun that jack mentions did it on an episode of the rifleman but also in real life.

[@jimgarrison7340]

A great like Palance under the annoying specter of Jay Leno. NBC actually had a survey that said the sight of 'Leno scared children.' Palance knew he was tolerating a giant chinned light weight. I kept wishing Palance would have lifted Jay out of his chair and thrown him--chin first--into the fake plants. I think it crossed his mind.

[@sclogse1]

I don't think so.

[@Maza675]

Ex heavyweight boxer too
