Roger Corman Gave Many Hollywood Legends Their Starts | CONAN on TBS

[@fujitafunk]

You can tell Corman is just enjoying being there and recounting the milestones in his career. It's great when Conan has such prolific guests who aren't modern actors trying to promote a new film. I could listen to Corman and Conan go on for hours.

[@paulpanhook]

Roger Corman is a legend. Tutored a lot of who became huge sirectors in the 70's 80's. Responsible for many great things.

[@reevestroy]

What a charming and sweet man.

[@JcGrubbsFilms]

I love how directors like Corman and Cronenberg seem like such normal people but their movies can be so grotesque

[@BurnRoddy]

Roger Corman is really bossy because he works on minimal budget, he always wants to get the absolute best out of everything he gets involved with no matter how cheap it is, but he is an amazing down to earth person on a spiritual level, dare I say to the point of being sympathetic to everyone he works with if you will, just not outspoken and very stubborn and strict. However if there was a scale for creativity his would rank on the level of insanity for sure, the man is a basically a walking film studio.

[@Billie4Mozzarella]

He has such a wonderful, gentle voice. The kind you'd grow up with and love.

[@Freeden]

Corman's great. If you guys haven't watched it, see the documentary Corman's World. It's a great piece on how Corman changed the industry, gave a lot of people their start, and the state of the industry when he was making a lot of his movies.

[@Freeden]

***** He was great at what he did. He made movies for a specific audience cheap and quick. He was an innovator in finding ways to do cheap productions.

[@supastar25]

Conan should have more guests like this...you could literally hang onto every word he says. And he's not putting on an act to try and appear 'funny' or 'cool' or whatever like half the guests these days. Love Roger Corman!

[@thomasrainbow]

So true! Corman is awesome.

[@rogergurman1570]

Hear hear!

[@bodenlosedosenhose1590]

@@danielmoore9209 Unfortunately, yes. The only unscripted talk shows I know of were Craig Ferguson's and Norm Macdonald's.

[@DrWatson25]

RIP the legend Roger Corman.

[@wolfstar675]

This man is a legend of Cinema.

[@bodenlosedosenhose1590]

I love how he speaks so eloquently and with such class - about Sharktopus.

[@FreejackVesa]

Totally agree - I love Roger Corman erudite style. Truly a legend

[@josephlawson9950]

In memory of Roger corman a true legend

[@DMalltheway]

This man deserves more credit for bringing up guys like James Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese

[@smithsj227]

Not to mention Jack Nicholson

[@525Lines]

The movies Roger made were when people went to see movies all the time so people weren't looking for blockbusters every time. (These movies often played two at a time, preceded by newsreels, cartoons, comedy shorts and even commercials.) A great title and a kewl movie poster got you 80% of the way home.

[@1BergerVongSchlauigkeitHer]

Don't forget the exploding helicopters.

[@mrkrinkle72]

spot on Dr Forrester!

[@bekaakhmetov6112]

Double features )

[@Miguel_El_Chileno]

Rest in Peace Roger Corman

[@entertainmentpowerfuchs5744]

He was a Legend He is a Legend and would allways be a Legend

[@brianc1103]

Can I hire this guy to read me bedtime stories for the rest of my life?

[@smurdleman]

Outstanding. Always been a fan of Roger Corman and his ridiculously fun movies, but until I watched this (the first time i've seen him speak, as a fan an embarrassing thing to admit), I never knew what erudite and well-spoken individual he is. Smart, quick, kind, and witty. And full of a million fun stories. Always been a fan of Conan as well, so he needs to get Corman on his next show, and aside from commercials, just talk with him for 45 minutes.

[@tonitigger4978]

You should watch his episode of Dinner for five...

[@TheTachy0n]

You should watch the documentary Corman's World about Roger Corman that came out in 2011. Pure joy to watch as a Corman and b-movie fan!

[@biokudde]

If there against all odds is a God i bet this is the voice he would have.

[@youmeandi100]

Seems like an awesome guy with a great sense of humor! :)

[@MegaTheshiz]

Roger Corman is a fucking legend

[@garrettedwardspears]

Roger Corman needs a star on the Hollywopod Walk of Fame. But he seems too sincere of a man to accept such an award.

[@iNuchalHead]

He was happy to receive a Lifetime Achievement Oscar.

[@jc6594]

Happy 90th Birthday Roger Corman

[@TunnelVisionAthletic]

Absolute champion! Thankyou for Galaxy of Terror!

[@alphaman8747]

Thanks for this... A little bit of history and respect for legends is necessary every now and then.

[@taeyonglee-nh4je]

His voice .. what a bless😢

[@c.c.lilford2916]

"There is no law that says everything in the trailer has to be in the film."

[@MatsThyWit]

Roger Corman has one of the great voices on Hollywood history.

[@nicknickb]

pure legend. id love to see more ppl like him on talk shows

[@allanfloyd8103]

I love Roger Corman's movies; they are not 'gourmet' movies by any stretch, but sometimes, you just want to have a bag of chips... XD

[@jgrj52]

Some of them are gourmet. Like the masque of the red death or the fall of the house usher

[@teopini]

The nicest man alive.

[@ladyjhermit1330]

He directed some of Vincent Price' s best movies on the Edgar Allen Poe series

[@shreknet]

Love Roger Corman.

[@grindcoremaniac]

Roger Corman is awesome. i love crappy b-movies

[@asdkkasdkasdka9706]

no wonder you look like crap too then

[@grindcoremaniac]

yeah that picture was after a tragic accident. i felt i needed to take a picture lol

[@Doganshang]

asdkk asdkasdka low blow man!!!

[@rogergurman1570]

Only his crappy B-movies aren't all that crappy, all things considered. I mean, look at their budget, it is amazing how good they look and feel despite having been made in roughly ten days.

[@orgntr]

Hey, his indie movies are not crappy just because they're low budget! He's awesome though!

[@thanksfernuthin]

Awesome dude. Made quick little movies to pay the bills and his work ended up having an effect on the entire film industry.

[@alfcab]

Corman is amazing. Talk shows really need to try a little harder to bring on legends like this guy and let them talk about making movies. For anybody interested, check out Dick Cavett interviewing Alfred Hitchcock. That's what talk shows should be.

[@BrokenBrainStudios]

Roger Corman is a legend!

[@davidlionheart2438]

A brilliant, revolutionary filmmaker! Great on his own merits. Great as the genesis of so many other talents. And that voice! That wonderful, mellifluous Corman voice. I'd be most happy to lay my head on a pillow and have him read me the entire phone book.

[@Jzscrstsprstr]

I love his collaboration with Vincent Price for AIP.

[@prunepanthormanofprunes7686]

MST3K fans love you Roger.

[@525Lines]

Rock climbing

[@HowardChegwyn]

Let's not forget that Roger Corman produced the the best Fantastic Four movie ever made.

[@IROQUOISxPLISKEN]

A true legend, great interview :)

[@Danimal300zx]

He's 88 years old!! WOW..

[@Misadventures_85]

that story about Joe Dante placing footage of an exploding helicopter in a movie trailer = pre-Internet "click bait". lmao

[@skabcat242]

This guy is a legend.

I love Roger Corman.

[@TheTrashStash]

you can tell he doesn't take himself too seriously, that is probably the secret to a long life.

[@JackyDengMusic]

Anyone else think "white George Takei?"

[@SnackPatrol]

Yeah that's exactly what I was going to say, he talks just like him.

[@KostasMachete]

He actually kinda reminds me of Mrs. Doubtfire.

[@MikeKiker]

I was thinking skinny Roger Ebert.

[@alex210sanantonio]

***** :( R.I.P

[@resplndnt]

Jacky Deng they both should do audio books

[@rogergurman1570]

Roger Corman is the man!

[@yadayada9581]

Gotta love Roger.

[@WhatDillionYT]

Today Roger Corman has passed away May he be remembered.

[@delavalmilker]

Hollywood would have been a poorer place if there had never been a Roger Corman.

[@JoeKerr019]

Rest in peace king of king, Lord of b movies. Master of Hollywood

[@BlueHooloovoo]

Rest in peace you wonderful rebel. The movie industry wouldn't be the same without you.

[@iambiggus]

Basing my knowledge pretty much just on this interview, I'll bet RC is awesome to work both with and for.

[@garinsparks7041]

He Is!!!

[@MrGitanica]

Very interesting, I love interviews like this.

[@clince-rx2be]

such a gentleman

[@daniloweyler6631]

I could fall asleep to his voice

[@entertainmentpowerfuchs5744]

He was the master of B Movies. RIP my King

[@maxshepherd4855]

RIP legend

[@Peroy1]

Happy 97th birthday... :)

[@reptomicus]

I wish Conan would do a Jibber-Jabber episode with Roger Corman.

[@Gibson42a]

True legend!

[@AvocadoDiaboli]

I think it's appropriate to highlight that Corman was more important to the art of cinema by giving young people a chance instead of focusing on his movies, most of which are really bad.

[@emceecameltoe]

Saw him speak once at the mill valley film festival!

[@jacobdunstan6620]

The Haunted Palace is one of my all time faves.

[@Calvinosaur]

MST3k just wouldn't have been the same without Roger Corman.

[@DisgruntledPigumon]

In an alternate universe, Roger Corman is named George Takei.

[@phaedruslive]

Whoo! The guy may not be an artiste, but Deathstalker kicked ass.

[@somarriba333]

I need an exploding helicopter in my biopic trailer.

[@Mundane05]

Alright, which trailers do I search for to see the damn helicopter?

[@PedroSilvahf]

Damn you sharktopus

[@fufanux]

Good ol' Detroit innovation.

[@RyderDavis]

It's ironic that Joe Dante directed one of the segments of Twilight Zone: The Movie, which features a crashing helicopter that killed actor Vic Morrow and two children. That segment was directed by John Landis.

[@kovusi5806]

[@OrbbKlesk]

A shark bit Conan's head off? Where does he live so I can pay him a visit and shake his flipper? Good fish!

Wait... are they just joking, or was Conan in an actual film?

go to coco's website for the most interesting part of this interview. 'nuff said. edit: can't believe I actually called him 'coco' without thinking about it.... Mr. O'Brian I should say. lol Mr. Groening gave many great things to this world as did Mr. Corman. Saddly, cocopuffs and his handlers are a sad legacy to otherwise great minds... cough.
