"Kojak" Telly Savallas in a rare Interview with Terry Wogan (BBC), 1988

[@jamesm6082]

Truly a bygone era. A great man. Always nice seeing past interviews with Telly.

[@TTH77]

Truly one if not the most charismatic actors of his or any generation. He brought emotion, toughness, humour and coolness to kojak. He was tough on his men but looked out for them at the same time. He hated the bad guys but was relentless in his drive for justice and protection of innocent victims. The greatest best dressed smartest tv cop ever.

[@MC-bu6ez]

Only Greeks bring such charisma (a Greek word) to an interview Mr Savalas was a wonderful actor, generous and had great presence, and that amazing voice, greatly missed, today's actors!, what do they know. RIP Telly.

[@ala-bp9lj]

What a guy. A man's man.

[@christopherchristos7275]

He died only six years later. He is a great actor from a great era. Thanks for the memories. The daughter he was speaking of is a professional singer (I think)

My mate Al recommended I start watching Kojak again which I hadn't seen since the original TV series in the '70's. He's right. Great dialogue, one liners with humour and canny story lines (often with some ribbing of his brother, George who played Stavros). Also, great to see New York in the '70's (I'm a big fan of John Lennon & Yoko Ono who lived there at that time so that haf some meaning to me) I also remember his No 1 hit 'If' in 1975 which as a 9 year old was hard to get my head around. Legend has it that 5 women got pregnant just by watching him singing it according to some You Tube comment ha ha. I started reading up on Telly and he led a very interesting life, including that he had a milotary career and was also had a bachelor's degree in Psychology aswell, and i'm yet to read anything dissing him so that's good.

Telly Savalas, Great Actor!

[@beemac79]

Sad where he says he wants to stay around long enough to raise his baby, he went quite early. What a guy!

[@rouryglen]

He was just fantastic.

[@greenbeagle13]

Kojak was the BEST TV series ever to have been on television. Loved it, and NOBODY but Telly Savalas. RIP...

[@GrasshopperRDG]

💯ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY RIGHT❣️

[@robertevans4165]

Wonderful actor, he was great in Birdman Of Alcatraz and of course Kojak which I loved. Robert Bridgend 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

He's ill, suffering withdrawal symptoms from cigarettes, and towards the end of his life here. He's still having a ball and giving a great performance. Totally at ease with himself, he always brought great charisma to ny role.

[@NotesOfBoredom]

He died 6...years...later...ffs..he's not at the end of anything at this point...yes, he had rizz...and guess given 2454...you're about 70 years old...born in 1954..

Great Great Actor

[@67lionsoflisbon37]

Legend. 70s idol for me. Great to see re-runs on TV in the afternoon. We used to say at school, " who luvs ya baby?". RIP Telly.

[@raycope2086]

What a lovely man.

[@2006Crusader2006]

Telly Savalas and Terry Wogan are both dearly missed!

[@mariucciadepasquale9470]

Grande Telly Savalas 💙

[@josmith6684]

bless him 🥰

[@butlerhatler2444]

Herr Savallas war ein großer und grandioser Schauspieler! Ich liebe es, ihn zu sehen! Er war ein echter Lebemann und der bis heute ungeschlagen, am perfektesten gekleideten Schauspieler, die es bisher gab! Möge diese große Persönlichkeit in Frieden ruhen!

[@LeeMcDaidDonegal]

My favourite episode(s) of Kojak was "The Summer Of '69" which was the very first TV detective show to have what we now call a "serial killer". I found it very disturbing as a child, but I still love Kojak to this day!

[@c.a.schulze1251]

Thank you for this video - 😀

[@mrbee4life182]

Great actor and great man Telly Savalas although he had a reputation for being difficult on film sets but he was fine and funny in this interview with Terry! Loved a lot of his films like On Her Majesty's Secret Service The Dirty Dozen Beyond The Poseidon Adventure etc and of course Kojak on tv! R.I.P Sir Terry and Telly Savalas 😞😔😥🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Wannabestartinsumthin]

Who love ya baby

A true tough guy love him. Don't make men like that in 2024. True masculinity. The best..

[@jb6142]

Probably my favorite actor so charismatic and majorly cool..Can just smell the cologne and testosterone in Those 70's Kojak episodes.. They dont make them like that anymore!

[@GrasshopperRDG]

If there was ever a perfect observation, it's this one... and I truly concur 💯 WHOLEHEARTEDLY❣️

[@giovanipugliese9780]

What a guy.

[@johncopeland3826]

Mr Aristotle (Telly ) Savalas ...they don't make ' em like that any more !

[@SpiritintheSky.]

I saw him at London Airport (Terminal One) in around 1980, when I was a member of the UK Immgration Service. He was in a long queue in the Arrivals Hall, presumably travelling with his family. He was trying to control a young boy - son? - who was so high-spirited he kept running around. Telly had a devil of a job trying to make him behave, without the aid of handcuffs.

[@NoEgg4u]

Telly never referred to himself as a hyphenated American. Never did he call himself a Greek American. Like nearly everyone from his generation, they were all proud Americans. They also treasured their ancestry, and celebrated their old-country heritage. But they were first-and-foremost Americans. It was that bond that made theirs the greatest generation.

[@misonoresoconto]

Talk about charisma. Telly had it.

[@mjln20128]

❤❤❤RIP

[@leea2112]

Great actor and a real man sexy too i always found him very attractive ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@80srenaissance67]

He seemed like a good bloke

[@nigeace]

Crap questions from Wogan. I mean, ask some decent questions... rather than put downs like he's put on weight or is an old father to a new baby. I miss Savalas.

[@r4h4al]

Yeah might be a good idea to not insult your guests.

[@aminaahmed3160]

Its to bad he didn't get to raise them

[@sjacrane]

Wogan looked a bit like Tucker Carlson

[@kurthubbard-beale5003]

Terry wogan was a slimy pos indeed. Telly Savallas was humble and polite to him.

[@paulbirkbeck1790]

He was a bit slimey but I grew up watching him and didn't notice his snarky side😮
