RICHARD HARRIS ON JOHNNY CARSON

[@123abcdef3]

I love his laugh. A great Irish laugh.

[@judysherry3122]

Richard Harris was a bolt of lightning and thunder and a great actor. And wild as the wind. I loved him and his work and, his wild sprit. Judy Sherry.

[@gerriepieters9033]

I have to thank him for all what he was during the actor years..he was not only an actor but also a true friend..never forget him..thank you master...r.i.p ❤🙏🪔

Great banter between Johnny and Richard! Wonderful chemistry!

Richard Harris is the greatest actor ever! And he was the Best King Arthur!

holy shit, Johnny knew how to talk to a man. What a natural talent.

[@Zarina1634]

Harris brilliant and talented.

[@cards0486]

Richard appeared on the MIKE DOUGLAS SHOW many times. He told the funniest stories. He and Peter O’Toole were great friends and his “two drunken Brits” stories were hysterical. I actually got to see him in CAMELOT on stage twice. A dream come true I never expected to have. His Arthur will always be my favorite, just like the movie will always be a favorite.

[@chrismerrick3156]

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Harris on his tour shortly after this appearance in Seattle. He came into the club I played piano at, Henry's Off Broadway, every night after his Camelot performance at Seattle's Fifth Avenue Theater. I asked if he wanted to sing MacArthur's Park but he politely declined.

[@kbchaffin53]

It'd be hard to say which one of these guys I miss the most. A lot.

[@geniusmchaggis]

i love harris' laugh...ludicrous yet great..

[@zyxmyk]

Harris was absolutely a larger-than-life character wasn't he? what a grand person.

[@lyndellwilliams5890]

Bigger than life entertainment pretty much ended after the 80's. The 90's was good & around the 2000 era up until now it's collapsed big time.

[@Mike-fp5rc]

Fun fact: For years, everyone tried to get Harris to perform "MacArthur Park" (who insisted on singing the lyric as "MacArthur's Park"), but he never was able to do it for licensing and legal reasons. Understandably, it soured him on the music business.

[@ziggersz4899]

That's an interesting little nugget. He's supremely multi-talented. He's totally his own beautiful creation. 🇮🇪🎶🍀💋💘💚🎵

[@jezebeljones659]

He should've broken out into "MacArthur Park" right in the middle of "Camelot"!

[@bobwalton4630]

Harris hated fancy restaurants where he had to wear a jacket and tie. He would rather go to the local pub or bar in whatever city he was staying in and drink with the local regulars.

[@alwaysalady2u751]

Bob Walton thats the way to do things sometimes

[@Endtimescoming]

Richard Harris and Camelot I don't think it gets better than that. Never got to see him in the play but I've loved the movie since Childhood. And did get to see a play of Camelot in the early 2000s Easily one of my favorite movies/plays.

[@cynthiahofer2903]

i saw Richard Harris in Camelot in Spokane, Washington. I still have my Program and will never forget how wonderful it was.His versitality amazed me.

[@timothypoulter8285]

It's funny how Richard Harris was perceived as a crazy Irish drunk. But with Camelot Harris bought the musical and the sets and costumes and went on to tour for years making himself a fortune. Not so crazy.

[@47Brenda47]

No. Not crazy. Through the years most of the artistic geniuses used some sort of chemicals...many of the "masters" used hard drugs-and were magnificent!

[@gravenewworld6521]

I think he was definitely crazy but in a wonderful artistic way which manifested itself in recklessness but that recklessness worked out because his genius was such that he always landed on his feet.

[@sallygomez8799]

Well,, he was a crazy Irish drunk!!

[@maryfitzpatrick2738]

[@teresafoster5818]

I lived in Ireland for 10 years & became friends with Richard Harris's First Cousin Fr. Paddy Kelly a Jesuit Priest he was 8 years older than Harris and grew up a few house apart from each other. Whenever Harris returned to Limerick he & Fr. Kelly would get together. Harris never said Hello, he gave him the same greeting every time they met, "Paddy are ye praying for me, you're my only hope of getting into Heaven" Fr. Kelly lived to 98 so I think it's safe to say Richard Harris made it into Heaven.

[@ziggersz4899]

I'm counting on Richard being there handing me a Guinness and a seat by his side or better yet on his heavenly lap. 💘✨💋

[@TheTruthness2011]

You have no clue that, the Jesuits are behind everything you see bad in this world 💚.

I saw the play during this run at the Pantages. I had bought tickets to see it because Burton was the lead. Harris was good, and I had nothing to compare him to, but it was not a particularly stimulating first half.
