Sledge Hammer Interview (David Rasche)

An interview with "Sledge Hammer!" star David Rasche from a morning talk show in LA during the late 1980s. (The low volume & out of synch audio were on the original broadcast due to a tape delay problem.)

[@funmonsterUK]

David..... you are sadly missed. I for one would love to see you on prime time TV again. A true entertainer :)

[@_yacko_]

Succession made your dream come true!!

[@VIDEOCHROMA]

trust him, he knows what he's doing

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Sledge Hammer is brilliant, loved that show.

[@stefanof24]

the show was so hilarious... and he was the best ;-)

[@foolish54]

it was the best damn cop show ever!

[@_nom_]

The most crooked straight cop.

[@tunkunrunk]

I couldn't agree more, we watched this in my city in Africa, internationally popular tv show

[@trhansen3244]

There's no reason to use such foul language. You can get your point across using the word 'dern'.

[@nicetna2010]

Love Sledge Hammer. However, I feel David Rasche as Det. Mike Parnell in "An Innocent Man" was his pinnacle work. Can't believe he didn't get an Emmy for that role.

you told me 420 oak way not oak lane you said oak way 😂😂

[@nicetna2010]

@@MiguelCruz-zo6yo No,no, no,no,no. Danny, tell me what I said. - a classic exchange when he learns they're at the wrong address.

[@MiguelCruz-zo6yo]

Parnell has sniffing that coke too much he forgot what the actual address was smh. the guy in the phone clearly told him lol

[@aristotle358]

Love it. David Rasche is just like Sledge Hammer.

[@gangstavicky]

i started to watch the show....i LOVE it! its so good! He is just perfect for the role!

[@jinjagohst]

Wow, glad this came into my feed. David Rasche a very interesting and amusing guy, perfect as Sledge Hammer. (And Crocodile Bruce .)

[@sylviamagana1024]

David. Rasche was so funny in sledge hammer. Loved that show

[@keithmckinnon7047]

He's so really great with various accents, max talent. 😉

Being able to enjoy this interview is just fantastic, thank you very much for uploading it.

[@sihongchow5539]

Fué una de mis series favoritas. Las recuerdo con nostalgia, ni parecidas a las de hoy. Saludos Hammer.~

My fav cop shop of the 80s. Sorry Miami Vice.

[@Clay3613]

Does anyone else think he'd make a great Duke Nuk'em?

[@jj9blues]

Thank you for valuable videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DarthClam]

This guy was hilarious in Burn After Reading

[@Peppyroni247]

Succession brought me here

[@cristianillanes]

Aguante hammer ,una de las mejores series de todos los tiempos.

[@OhioGirl-bu2kv]

In this interview, David looks like Chuck Woolery from "The Love Connection". Sledge Hammer was an awesome show and David was just as awesome in that show. He's very funny, handsome, he's the whole package!!

[@BobbyCookOfficial]

This guy looks like he knows a thing or two about a thing or two

[@dwbiggly6907]

Thank you so much foe Sledge Hammer.

[@phxxr650r]

I was nick named Sledghammer when i competed in fast draw contest in the 80s and have the document to prove it. I was the only one crazy enough to compete with a 44mag. THE BEST SHOW EVER

[@trhansen3244]

I bet you were called Sledghammer because you looked like one. Not because you are a great cop. Admit it!

[@MrTamiya89]

​@@trhansen3244 HAHAHA, LOL 😃👍.

[@MrTamiya89]

Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer.

[@darylcheshire1618]

I remember he arrives home with a VHS tape, he inserts it into a VHS player, it plays back a target sillouhette with a voiceover that says “shoot me” over and over. So he pulls out the .44 and shoots his TV. That cracked me up.

[@spinout3]

@Abe1659 totally agree. show was brilliant

[@Trayusstudent1]

Hell yeah! If they could get all the same people!

[@midmoo]

where are you sledge ?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?

[@joeryan82]

The greatest actor of all time.

[@facusrock]

"DAVID RASCHE NOT DEAD"

[@TheBrokeTeacher]

Second City, i didn't here him say Ann Ryerson. She was in Witless episode 3.

[@Sandlot1992]

I reckon he was Hal Devlin from Bingo (1991)!

[@MrTamiya89]

BINGO Is A Good FILM/MOVIE. 😃👍.

[@okkcomputer]

best movie president ever

[@jamieconnoriffic]

was david rasche a president?

[@brocktoon8]

They keep going on about what a huge star that woman is, but I have no idea who she is (nor do i care).

[@theverminmediaareyourenemi5612]

she's a very hot chick, and sledge hammer rocked

[@BullyDefender]

i agree!

[@ismaeeeeeeel]

David, I know where you got inspiration to performance Sledge roll, the tipical mexicab cop, just a little less corrupted.

[@GoodOldCharley89]

Very sympatico man :-)

[@FedotDaNeTod]

In Russia he took undercover nickname was Crocodile Gandhi in that episode.

[@okkcomputer]

yup, check the movie "the sentinel" with michael douglas.. he was the president,, not a big part but i love the guy ahah

[@albear972]

Damn! Look at the brown haired Steve Edwards!

[@scottjulie27]

I wonder how many cops like this show. If I was a police officer, I would be laughing my ass off more than me already watching it just as a plain civilian. David Rasche is the fucking man. By the way, with all-do respect, doesn't he remind you of Peter Cetera?

[@aristotle358]

Wow ! You're lovely.

[@scottjulie27]

aristotle358 :) If that wasn't sarcastic, thank you.

[@CompoundNihilist]

scottjulie27 Cops loved the show. The show's creator talks about honorary awards the character of Sledge received from actual police forces, as well as clips from the show used in training videos as examples of things not to do.

[@aristotle358]

scottjulie27 No it wasn't. I was partly going by your photo but also your comment.

[@scottjulie27]

aristotle358 :) Thank you.

[@BatmanHQYT]

So it's pronounced "Raa-shee", interest.

[@jucarriizo]

Genius!

[@damonkeith]

haha.. and by "popular" well.. we know what he means.

[@molinaargudofernandoantoni1522]

She was flirtting on him , didn't she?

[@overcastfriday81]

Wasn't she married to Delorean?

[@DRTISAGITA]

Americans made only two great tv shows.Deadwood and Sledge Hammer.

[@MrTamiya89]

They Made More Than Two Great TV Shows.
