I'm a big fan of Telly, love him! I would've loved to have met him, he seemed so down to earth and just plain cool. His charisma was unbelievable. Stephen, I love this interview because it's more like a conversation than an interview. Telly doesn't seem to have any guard up at all. Both of these parts were just a joy to watch, thank you so much!

I'm watching Kojak right now, so decided what I could find on Telly here on youtube. Have never watched an interview with him until now. They don't make men like this anymore. All of the great actors are just about gone now, and the ones in the business today can't even compare to the greats! Thanks for posting this, Stephen.

[@StephenHoltShow]

Johnny Buck If I said it before, I'm saying it again. Thank you, Johnny Buck for posting this great comment. I didn't know there was so little of Telly on You Tube. It was a rare privilege. He was a great man. And a great actor.

God ,,his voice is perfect for radio broadcasting..

[@StephenHoltShow]

Ken Norton Great actors always have great voices, too, it seems. You hear their voice and you know it's them!

[@ellikot123]

Savalas was so sexy. I love the way he seemed to really like people from all walks of life - and make not just eye connection, but touch peoplel like everybody's family.

[@monam3739]

I could listen to his voice forever..!!!

[@StephenHoltShow]

mona m Wonderful, deep, resonant voice. He made every line sound brilliant.

[@Emerald007007]

I think Savals was one of the most underrated actor in the world. Its terrible no one pays tribute to him anymore. Its like Richard Burton. They truly layed the foundations or DeNiro and Pacino?

RIP, Telly

[@hrvatska-U-srcu]

[@StephenHoltShow]

yorkman129 Thanks for commenting, yorkman 129!

[@Lytton333]

If he'd have owned owned his own broadcasting company, it could have been called 'Tellyvision'.

[@geemanbmw]

One of a kind!!!

[@shogunMR]

coolest ever his charisma is unmatched i really wish i was that awesome

[@condors1972]

@StephenHoltShow a great interview and what a nice man to talk to! thanks for this!

[@ElectricGuitarManPL]

it's hard to think he was 69 here... He looked young and lively but 3 years later cancer beat him down...

[@Anex130]

1922-1994 RIP Telly

[@delportps84]

Are you sure? Telly Savalas was born in 1922 - that would make him 91 years old today. He was 69 in that interview.

[@kuhndog52]

I WANT THAT VOICE

[@mgsimba1]

WHO LOVES YA BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@logastra]

"Who loves you baby!!"

[@sturoc0]

In the beginning there was Sheraton and in the beginning there was Telly ! Sloppy Telly ! This is an great insight into an awesome actor !! Talk it up Baby !

[@Rocket9944]

How about listing this as part 1 so people know their is a part two...

[@StephenHoltShow]

sn9696 Sorry, I thought I did that! And yes, there IS a part two! And it's good as well!

[@elvicare35]

Good one!

[@samwashington8039]

One of Telly Savalas comments towards the end of the interview reminds me of one of President's Clinton's comment on a talk show: ''You're too good for me. Wehere were you when I needed you?''

[@zeth8300]

the cigars killed him if is was not for that he will still be alive.

[@ayon619]

he's got a San Diego Chargers jacket on, hell yea!!!

[@spagandtuna]

Lost him way too soon.

[@Multi2008Mary]

[@Flyboy243]

"WHO LOVES YA BAYBE??"

[@Anex130]

1922-1994

[@torgman]

I guess it would be like living in a community with amenities, except you'd get more than a swimming pool and tennis court.

[@dackywamboo]

whats film i think t exist i saw as child and had Kojak in a Westren them with Shirely Winters and Burt Lancaster i hope it exists but i don`t know the name of the film does anyone know the name of it? Kojak seems a warm loviing human being and sincere.

[@mr.lonniebooker3205]

comic actor Jim Carrey was great impersonating Telly Savalas was on a sketch parody on In Living Color from the old days back then.

[@EphemeralProductions]

I have a friend who sounds just like this interviewer. OMG! LOL SO gay! Ostensibly. LOL

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Please clear something up for me if you don't mind ?? The answer with never change my opinion on him because i will always view him as being nothing less than awesome !! Why do so many people (on 'You Tube') accuse Telly of being (secretly) homosexual and living a parallel family life ??

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Whats all the talk about the Sheriton ?? Did Savalas really LIVE in a hotel ??

[@CK1223]

the scalp hunters starring burt lancaster shelly winters

[@sturoc0]

In the beginning there was Sheraton and in the beginning there was Telly ! Sloppy Telly !

[@blaquestrength]

[@62bluesprue]

Telly, is weird !!
