Spielberg’s “Appalling, Irresponsible” Contribution to the Horror Anthology, “Night Gallery”

[@johanjoseph4802]

They should just upload the full uncut video.... It's just so damn good

[@LollieVox]

I agree! I don’t want to try to make a new job for him (he does so much) but it would be awesome if he did more long interviews with other amazing people!

[@bobdobbs69]

Quit teasin' us!

[@sprnstn84]

Funny, I just wrote something similar Johan.

[@THE-A-TRAIN]

I have to agree with some other commentators here: please just release the full Spielberg interview in one video. These clips are just enough to infuriate an audience on KZbin.

[@Ganiscol]

Boy, wouldnt it be great if we had the full interview in one video as opposed to one-question-snippets? 🤔

[@solidsnake58]

I’m actually digging these daily doses, but I totally get where you’re coming from

[@EndureFlash]

Sometimes it’s better to let the best things sizzle compared to having it in one go

[@davidholaday2817]

I think it might come out. These are just snippets.

[@derekseven1647]

It's on purpose to keep you coming back

[@E_y_a_l]

It's because Colbert’s cameras can only shoot 10 minutes segments

[@slate49]

That 1st episode Night Gallery was so good! The series freaked me out as a child even in reruns Love it that Spielberg was able to shine over the suits and have the last word 15-20 years later. Outstanding guy

[@richardadams2447]

Kudos to Stephen Colbert for asking Mr. Spielberg more questions about his involvement with the the 70s horror anthology, "Night Gallery." I wonder if Colbert is a fan? What's strange is that according to "Night Gallery" historians Scott Skelton and Jim Benson, the reason Spielberg's segment had to be recut was because of a last minute change in the cast so some scenes had to be reshoot with the new actor. The director who reshot those scenes, the great Jeannot Szwarc, never mentioned Spielberg's single-take version as the reason why and he indicated his contributions to the segment were minimal and that most of what you see is from Mr. Spielberg's filming. I wonder if this is a case of two directors who are aware the segment isn't very good and neither wants to take credit! What also makes Spielberg's version of events questionable is that the producer of "Night Gallery" was a guy named Jack Laird and he encouraged his directors to be innovative --sometimes to the detriment of the show, upon looking back. We also know that Spielberg was hired back by Laird to direct the brilliant "A Fear of Spiders" but Spielberg backed out because of exhaustion and the segment was directed by John Astin. Would Laird have hired Spielberg back if he had been so unhappy with his work on "Make me Laugh?" It's been 50 years since these events and people's memories become a little fuzzy and we remember what we want to remember.

[@JK_Clark]

"He said some very nice things." - I bet he did!

[@LindaC616]

I'll bet he would love to get Stephen to direct something for one of his shows now!

[@Rmlohner]

Just imagine being this brand new up and coming director, and the first big star you're given to work with is notorious diva Joan Crawford.

[@batgurrl]

I almost missed this gem..I wish they were all posted together as cut for time in the episode he starred in. I would love to see him take the questionert

[@kimlr-herring]

A really great interview. Please release it uncut.🙏

[@PapagenoMF]

B.S. Pulley was Big Julie in the film adaptation of Guys and Dolls. A legendary character actor.

[@jojopuppyfish]

I have seen several thing Spielberg did for TV before he did Duel and Jaws....some of them are very good.....Night Gallery Pilot, The Columbo episode.....LA 2017 was part of "Name of the Game" series and that was good. Spielberg doesn't think highly of that era, but some of it was very good.

[@kthx1138]

It was his "training ground".

[@ExpertStoryteller]

"he said some very nice things". See that? That is humility. Can you imagine the conversation? The tv executive must have seen some of the great works and thought to himself "I just told off the greatest film director of all time because of my corporate BS."

[@vibeofthee80s_]

I wonder who that top Executive was that was appalled lol, any guesses anyone ?

[@akfreed6949]

When Tom Snyder interviewed his new boss , David Letterman , David said something like Hollywood CEOs are pinheads . Now you know why . It's like George Lucas's American Graffiti ; after he showed it to a test audience , which loved the movie , a CEO at Universal was pissed saying they're going to have to re-edit the whole movie and blah blah blah . They don't know anything about movies even now . That explains how they let Jar Jar Abrams screwup both the STAR WARS and STAR TREK franchises .

[@visions_of_noah]

Can we get the full uncut video pleaaaase?

[@sprnstn84]

Colbert Producers: Is it possible to release this entire interview on HBO or something, like Howard Stern did with Bruce Springsteen, because the snippets are great, but there looks like there is so much more.

[@gryphonberlin]

I absolutely loved the film "1941" - also a favourite of my Father. "Raul, ... Raul Lipschitz made him double over with laughter.

Where is the full interview? I can handle a long video. Don’t need clip after clip.

[@revengefrommars]

Those long single shots have pluses and minuses. I always liked the one at the start of Roger Rabbit. (Now I tried to find it on KZbin and can't. Am I just imagining it happened?)

[@solidsnake58]

Try using the term “oner”. Spielberg is known for them and Zemekis was his protege.

[@solidsnake58]

A long take, also known as a "oner," is a shot that's intended to appear as a single, uninterrupted take in the final edit of a project. Camera movement and elaborate blocking are often involved in long takes, but they are not mandatory.

[@vibeofthee80s_]

I thought Birdman was fantastic

[@SouthFloridaThrifter]

"He said some very nice things" 😆 what a mensch👍

[@petergivenbless900]

I first saw the 'Make Me Laugh' part of 'Night Gallery' on TV in the '80s and was surprised at how flat and conventional it seemed for Spielberg (I have since seen some of his other more workman-like TV stuff that is similarly unimpressive) but I had no idea it had been reshot by another, uncredited, director!

[@hanscombe72]

I just watched Schindlers list again recently. A film now 30 years old. It’s Spielberg at his best because it’s just him and a camera. Soldiers searching the walls with stethoscopes. The SS officer screaming right at the camera as he goes mad while the bodies burn. Ralph Fiennes looking like an insane Roman emperor as he pretends to pardon himself in the mirror. Call him commercial. But what that guy puts on film is incredible.

[@bmla88]

I can understand why the guy was pissed. I’m sure it was a fine shot but it was a tv show in the 70s. Spielberg should have known better to stick to the visual language that matched the rest of the show. Glad it didn’t hold him back.

[@b-dub6865]

Why is it that the second commenter always repeats the first question/comment, or vice versa? It’s just like those people that repeat the same comment on every video of a popular channel. Can people please have some originality?

[@Greenbambu78]

🧐I should seriously consider joining a local laughing meet-up group, hum...I'm going to feel weird though laughing for no reason with a bunch of strangers...but hey, laughing is the best medicine 😄

[@KainedbutAble123]

That reel of film would be very valuable if anyone could find it!

[@Cafeman_2D]

Why is Steven still credited as Director of Make Me Laugh?

[@Mokkari77]

I recall that segment and the fact that I don't remember anything except Godfrey Cambridge as a stand up comedian means the non-Spielberg version they used sucked.

[@jjdvideo]

Spielberg must have been talking about a different episode, because he did direct an episode of Night Gallery called Make Me Laugh, but not the one he was talking about.

Hi.

[@kthx1138]

Even in movies, the one take has its pros and cons. Pro: When it works, it's brilliant! Con: If it doesn't work, there's nothing to cut to, you have to perform the entire long, complicated take over again!

[@schmooxx1x]

Too bad this interview has been butchered by chopping up into little pieces. What should have been an engaging and enlightening interview has turned into a dull and lifeless set of snippets.

The one take was too ambitious for TV.
