Nixon's the One - Pilot (Episode 1 of 6) - Harry Shearer

[@valleyvox]

Long may you reign Harry

[@randyallred2382]

Remarkable, Harry! Up there with Rip Torn's uncanny portrayal of Nixon in one of the network (NBC?) Watergate/"final days" miniseries. I've always been fascinated by Nixon, your video brings the transcripts to life.

[@iglapsu88]

Harry, this is absolutely timeless! I'm really enjoying this. Thank you!

[@Batfan166]

This is BRILLIANT!!😂😂😂

[@tamra8485]

Harry, this is great! At first I thought I was watching a scripted parody, it just didn't seem possible, until it dawned on me that you meant it when you said it was real. I'm still processing this. This stuff needs to air. I hope it gets picked up, or at the very least, goes viral.

[@bchristian85]

Assuming that no creative liberties were taken with this and this was not embellished, this really underscores how little has changed since 1969.

[@Barstool1979]

Brilliant way to make history entertaining!!! Like an actually-educational version of "Drunk History"! Kudos!

[@SamuelRiv]

Kissinger as the original Sean Spicer: "It was the greatest speech ever witnessed, ending with a five-minute standing ovation!" (not a quote)

[@sashek8451]

“I had a lump in my throat” 😂😚😚😚

[@ranatlas]

Very entertaining, reminds me of the classic "60 Minutes" segment.

[@sashek8451]

In hindsight…the noise he makes after hearing “there are only three people who know about the system” 😂

[@Joltwise]

harry - who is the actor with you? this is freaking amazeBallzzz...

[@edjfitz]

Dan Hicks' wonderful "Moody Richard."

[@BASSOLA-77]

awesome!

[@branmakmorn]

They were totally nuts.

[@dannythomas417]

The one place that not even Agnes can boss him around.

[@BNardolilli]

his mother was a saint

[@Student____2025__1]

Looking back at the old videos, it’s clear he was a formidable, impressive person. The Kennedy debate, the Oxford Union appearance, the checkers speech, the Nixon Answer in Michigan, etc. Even in “the tapes.” He had excellent people skills. Sometimes I see people say he seemed awkward or whatever, but I think they’re misreading things. Also, Harry Shearer gives a fine performance, but it doesn’t quite capture Nixon. There’s too much uncertainty in the voice, the voice is too high… it’s not quite right. Doesn’t quite get the older gen smoothness.

[@aliofly]

It’s petty spot on, listen to some of the tapes on here, including the actual conversations they do in this series

[@ranatlas]

Eugene Levy would have been a great Kissinger.

[@sashek8451]

WOW 😳

[@karlpitcher94]

"We all know people go to whores ...we all have weaknesses and so forth." "Yeeep"

[@valleyvox]

Is he talking about 'The Dukes of Hazard'

[@EzekialMordecai]

The fluffery is rampant.

[@gaguy1967]

if you shake hands with some from San Francisco today, youll get shit on your hand

[@dsriggs]

The "Movie" Nixon watched that "celebrated homosexualty" was All In The Family, S01E05 "Judging Books by Covers"

[@dannythomas417]

SKINNER!

[@EzekialMordecai]

Nixon is so insecure, Kissinger plays him like a fiddle.

[@gaguy1967]

is Reagan the narrator?

[@danwiberg3778]

I mean, this guy was a real jerk.

[@MrDanMac]

Hi Normy 👋

[@BNardolilli]

"not even Reagan" foreshadowing

[@vincentsmit1935]

Reagan ran for President in 1968

[@raphaelv8062]

So this is why you weren't posting anything for months...

[@LouisianaFarm]

Fireside chat for future generations

[@LilPisser]

Very nicely done, indeed. It's like the Troggs Tapes except they are in the process of destroying Vietnam and Cambodia. Dubba dubba dubba cha!
