SISKEL & EBERT: A Tribute to Gene Siskel

[@osandoval5335]

Miss them both. Was a great show when I was growing up.

R.I.P. Gene Siskel 😭😭😭 1946-1999 I can’t believe today it’s been 20 years. February 20, 1999

Brian Rose I was actually a year old on that day

Roger did a great job of keeping his composure throughout this tribute, and it was very well done! 10:58 breaks my heart though because for Roger, looking over to that seat across from him came so naturally, and in the middle of his statement, he does it out of reflex but is quickly reminded that there is no one over there. That had to be a tough realization!

Thanks for posting this. I grew up watching S&E. They helped foster my love of movies, a passion I have to this day. (Oh, how I’ve missed going to the theater over the last year.) They were both too soon taken to the big balcony in the sky.

I wonder if Gene knew, in the weeks and maybe even months leading up his death, that inevitably Roger Ebert would be dedicating a show to his legacy, and their time together lol I would be willing to bet the thought had crossed his mind more than once! 🤣

Siskel shouldve kept the stache

It's interesting they didn't pick a well known critic like Rex Reed to be Ebert's new co-host. I think Ebert wanted a new co-host he could dominate.

Thanks for posting this. Just finished watching the complete compilation of Siskel & Ebert on Letterman. Sorry to say that Gene was very mean spirited towards Roger regarding his weight. He took every opportunity to make fat jokes to try to ridicule, humiliate and embarrass Roger. Letterman did his fair share too.
