She is an absolute angel. Met her in person twice and she was perfection. Charming, sweet and kind. I will always adore Sally Struthers.

[@jazminratzlaff5357]

Great phenomenal interview. Love Sally Struthers. Such natural talent and charisma. Her infectious laugh and smile is truly the best. Great sense of of humour and hilarity always comes with her. Love her on the Tim Conway Comedy hour and All in The Family. She is entertainment, Hollywood and pop culture royalty. She looks so youthful and gorgeous! ❤ ♥️ 😆😂🤣😍🥰😘🤩🌟 ✨ 👑⚜️💎 🏆 📺

[@gailreese4102]

Had the pleasure of meeting Sally a year or so ago, at an autograph show. Delightful!

[@ThisIsNotMyHome]

Loved the interview 😊.

[@DiHandley]

She’s still gorgeous!

[@anitahargreaves9526]

A few years ago binge watched show for first time. I loved it. 👵🇬🇧❤

[@radioman970]

wonderful wonderful! That Gunston/Struthers interview is an absolute classic! "I do use an electric shaver!" lol

[@Marthamavers232]

I loved Sally's interview with Norman Gunston. A classic. I watch it sometimes on KZbin, just for a laugh. Really great interview with Sally. Thanks Craig and Sally for this.

[@RoughJustice2k18]

Most memorable part of the Sally Struthers-Norman Gunston interview for me in particular would be this: *Sally:* _"... you ought to use an electric razor."_ *Norman:* _"I do."_ Garry McDonald, besides his character of Norman Gunston, is also known for his appearances on The Aunty Jack Show, and a regular role as Arthur Beare in Mother & Son. ☺

[@Puzz...693]

My favourite interview of all time , Gary is my hero ❤❤❤

[@BookishNan-mz7sh]

What a wonderful episode. Thank you so much,

[@CammieInOz]

What a lovely, fun lady! The Norman Gunston interview is a classic piece of Aussie history, still so funny to watch today. Wow, a little shocked about Sally's comments on Penny Marshall, Rob Reiner's then wife. Talk about insecurity and arrogance! I was/am a big fan of Lavern & Shirley but never did like Penny, like her even less now after this interview.

[@lisapersino2729]

I love watching on tv , Just watched All In The Family last night . She had me laughing . What a great actress ❤

[@edl5299]

Sally Struthers is a great Actress and a great sport ...

[@BillSaltbush]

What a lovely, down to earth woman. Just lovely! It's a major disappointment that you didn't make it to these shores, you would have fitted in perfectly. I certainly would have entertained you. Thank you Sally . . . for being Sally.

[@amys5715]

I just love her!

[@sharonsears7949]

She’s still adorable and funny ! Love you Sally ❤😂

[@djizzah]

Aussies luv you Sally, come visit

[@JoseLopez-ys2oz]

Hi Sally!

[@Dan-nt2yb]

The Australian Alps? Lol. Love her.❤️

[@mickj9496]

You do know Australia does have an alpine region with numerous ski resorts.

[@Philip-hv2kc]

The point of the Australian Alps is it's in season when it's not in season for the northern hemisphere. They're called the Alps and Europeans are very polite about it.

[@antrimlariot2386]

Sally & Jackie have to work together. Very similar to each other. Both done A LOT of live theatre work. Same generation. Look like sisters. Both exude beaming star quality. On paper alone, it's gold. PLEASE DO THIS.

[@Philip-hv2kc]

I thought it was only me who perceived a similarity between the two.

[@simonovessimon4242]

great interview well done,,she is the same fine lady as on or off stage ,tv..

[@fredflintstone4594]

In Australia, Sally would of an instant career for that dance routine.

[@waynekasmar4401]

I wished the interviewer asked whether she tells other Americans about the interview she did which is widely regarded as the funniest thing ever shown on Australian television.

[@zyzzyvacation]

She once famously said: "If a man is pictured chopping off a woman's breast, it only gets an R-rating, but if, God forbid, a man is pictured kissing a woman's breast, it gets an X-rating. Why is violence more acceptable than tenderness?" Still relevant after all these years 🤔

[@NeilJR]

Wonderful! She’s great!

[@keithmcwilliams7424]

I loved watching that show when i was in my teens l'm 67 now.😊😅😂😊

[@Preview43]

Damn she was so gorgeous when she was young. Just beautiful.

[@markroberts3852]

Absolutely one of our best and it shows the best suffers from depression because they believe they are not funny enough. Norman was more than funny enough!!!!! 60 years old and still thinks he’s our best

[@CLF2050]

Penny Marshall, Rob Reiner's then-wife, auditioned for the role of Gloria Bunker. Of course, the role went to Struthers, which likely explains why Penny Marshall didn't exactly warm up to her.

[@tommyau2006]

All in the Family.........................the one and only American sitcom I enjoyed and thought was funny

[@Philip-hv2kc]

I preferred it to Till Death do us Part. I think the Queen also preferred the American version.

[@dragonsnogger6778]

That interview was a classic and is very funny. "All in the family" was however not a ground breaking show as it was a copy of the original UK show "Till death do us part".

[@Philip-hv2kc]

Some of us could cope with Till Death us do part. The Yankee version was more sanitised.

[@silverlakeowl]

Who was Sally struthers

[@taynecooper7747]

Not so "ground breaking" it was an American version of "till death do us part" I preferred Warren Mitchell

[@terri6854]

Groundbreaking doesn't mean "for the first time ever, anywhere". Everything can be groundbreaking if it's done in a new location for the first time.

[@julesmarwell8023]

what happened to those old HAPPY DAYS ?????? THEY GONE

[@billwhite9703]

A really nice lady.

[@joereedsmith1531]

Such a beautiful person and they dont make em like Sally any more because Huey broke the mold.

[@anthonybrunotheodd]

3:50 What did she mean by “on the down-low”?

[@CammieInOz]

She means done discreetly.

[@anthonybrunotheodd]

@@CammieInOz huh? That still doesn’t make any sense. Why would they do it discreetly?

[@CammieInOz]

@@anthonybrunotheodd from what she's saying, the producers of the show wanted to paint a picture of the program being quite low budget although that wasn't the case at all. Keeping it on the down-low in this case indicates that this was strictly something between the show and its producers. In other words, the show was not struggling on a budget at all but they wanted to look that way.

[@anthonybrunotheodd]

@@CammieInOz Ohhhhhhhh! Now that makes sense!

[@pauljordan4452]

Sally was parodied on South Park!

[@jaredjlinden]

The producers of All in the Family figured out halfway through the run that Sally could do comedy. Suddenly Gloria had funny quirks comparable to her TV parents. Watch the episode where Gloria is upset because Mike makes her feel dumb and she wants to go back to school. It nicely showcases her talents.

[@littleghostfilms3012]

She was 'let go' and like a balloon floated free and landed in All in the Family Land.

[@seanyuke3249]

Was that all in the family set recycled for everybody loves raymond?

[@jasonabbott4210]

She will always be Rebecca Cunningham from talespin for me.

[@corruptduboiscountyindiana5058]

illusstrius?

[@petesmith9472]

All in the family was based on Alf Garnett

[@Alan-io2ew]

Getting old is the pits.

[@garydavo07]

Ground breaking series??? It was a knock off ( deliberate ) of “till death do we part” !

[@petefluffy7420]

How was "All in the Family" ground breaking ? It was a rip off of an English one.

[@wendyanderson3920]

It wasn't a rip-off. Norman Lear bought the rights and adapted it for the US. I prefer it to Till Death Us Do Part because the characters are warmer.

[@petefluffy7420]

@@wendyanderson3920 I did not mean he stole the idea. What I meant was that the same idea seemed to have been used in this case, sorry for any misunderstanding..

[@terri6854]

Groundbreaking doesn't mean "for the first time ever, anywhere". Everything can be groundbreaking if it's done in a new location for the first time.

[@petefluffy7420]

I can ground break by digging a new hole, then I can ground break again by digging s hole next to it. If the new hole is a poor rendition of the first hole I would never say it is ground breaking. It is simple repetition, and a poor one at that, of something that had been done before. Not exploring any new techniques or situations. @@terri6854

[@stevemurrell6167]

'All In The Family' was just an American rip off of Britain's 'Till Death us do Part'. Archie Bunker was a poor man's Alf Garnett......but Sally was great. That interview with Gunston is legendary.

[@johnd8892]

Not exactly a rip off. That connection basis fact was at least acknowledged in the ending credits of All In The Family. Rip offs hide things like that. Likely some agreed financial compensation too, with those sort of arrangements even though the UK themes and scripts were unintelligible to US audiences so unused.

[@FCS7]

The guy currently interviewing her…is this a joke too?

[@johnurquhart4614]

Gary M led the way for lesser talents like Sacha Baron Cohen.

[@adrianhempfing2042]

Nope. All you need is 2 words - Gilmore Girls

[@adrianhempfing2042]

And yet a question about it :-(

[@peterbreis5407]

_All in the Family_ was *so original* and ground breaking! The British made the usual rip off, _Till Death us do Part._

[@jonnawyatt]

Oh the one with the phoney laugh.

[@warrenhunter7185]

Gross

[@paulmc3457]

You can tell Sally's thinking about what we refer to as a loogy in our day....which was a giant spit from your throat.

[@freddyfurrah3789]

I don't like Jean Stapleton, and I can't stand reiner.

That's ok they don't like u either

[@Stevenspelling123]

Just loved this. Great interview. Always admired Miss Sally Struthers.

[@joanneevans1295]

Great interview. Love her laugh and energy. She's a talent, that's for sure.

In her day she was drop dead beautiful

[@TheSaltydog07]

We were all bonny, once.

[@russellgrimes3491]

She was barely passable as a beauty and it was short lived.

Don't forget she was cast in the TV series "Still Standing" from 2003-2006.

Sally is a legend ,and that interview with Norman is very funny

[@planestrainsdogsncars4336]

Lots of celebrities who Gunston interviewed just didn't get it that they weren't the act...Gunston was. ...call it the Dame Edna syndrome. Sally did _get_ it but.. ''You ought to use an electric razor''..''yh I DO'', sheer genius.

[@WiseGuy02]

Could have done without the music

[@martinpascoe5904]

Studio Ten has changed too much and now they get rid of Craigy? More talented and authentic than anyone else on there, Australian Live Television is brutal , no wander people are watching crap like The Voice

[@Stevenspelling123]

Couldn't agree more. I didn't know he'd gone, but hadn't seen him in a while. So much fun and added great flair. Stupid decision

[@Marthamavers232]

What? Craigy B has gone? The best thing about the show.

[@TheEsquireClub]

I ❤Sally!

[@Puppydoug]

A shame no mention was made that "All In The Family" was a VERY Americanized version of Johnny Speight's "Til Death Us Do Part", a UK black and white sitcom starring Warren Mitchell as the bigoted Alf Garnet. Check 'em out on KZbin. The original and BEST.

[@johnd8892]

That fact was at least acknowledged in the ending credits of All In The Family. Likely some agreed financial compensation too even though the UK themes and scripts were unintelligible to US audiences so unused.

Laverne in the role of the envious drooling horse and you as the outgoing pretty cowgirl. Love you

Can anyone tell me why South Park paid out on Sally Struthers so much?

[@ArtCast24]

If I could only have had Sally forever….

Edith used to party with Alice Cooper. look it up.

[@blackburneflw]

‘All in the Family’ was a ripoff from the British sitcom ‘Till Death Do We Part’ which ran from 1966-1975 starring Warren Mitchell.

[@ericmalone3213]

This interview completely ignored her role in Sam Peckinpah's The Getaway? Are you kidding?

*Speaks in "hutt" 😂

[@maxy7486]

Beautiful person❤

[@NEMOZAC]

WOULD IT BE GREAT IF NORMAN OR SHOULD I SAY GARRY MC DOLLAND DID A SHOW TOGETHER

[@morrisanderson818]

Loved Norman, when he was in NZ a while back,he was, interviewing our then PM Robert Muldoon, who of course, Kiwi's been who we are,had a not very nice nickname for him, And when Norman actually called Muldoon Piggy during the interview just cracked me up,and I'm sure,the rest of the country as well,What a dude,

[@kcmaldonado3948]

Every time I see her she sounds like she's about ready to cry

[@raymarsh4620]

All In The Family was way before my time, but I have watched it and it seems like propaganda for the American Left.
