Is it me or does it feel like people back then, especially great people, were so much smarter, original, creative, and down to earth. Love this guy RIP
I mean…it depends on where you’re looking. Not to discount the wonderful nature of Harold Ramis, but a lot of it is the venue you’re looking at. “Old media” television interviews like these are a dying thing for sure. You rarely see directors and writers interviewed on TV these days, it’s much more focused on the “sensation” (similar to how Harold speaks of the Belushi book in this).
@@emogolem that makes more sense, with him smoking weed as he got older, and I think he started taking it easy with the hard drugs when he was directing Caddyshack because he wanted to show the executives that he wanted to become responsible enough for becoming a director.
Sandra Bogan Wow, no shit? That must have been absolutely unforgettable. The same year Ghostbusters was released too. I hope you have many fond memories of that time that must seem a lifetime ago
It's amazing, she asked so much about John Belushi, I wonder if she knew Belushi was originally set to star in Ghostbusters before it was rewritten. Harold Ramis is still one of my heroes, as a person and as an entertainer. I always liked hearing him talk and admire his intelligence and modesty. So missed. And Ghostbusters (1984) is still the best movie ever!
He seemed like a REAL person... like someone I might have helped find an item at a retail job I used to have. Wish I had had the pleasure. Rest well, Mr. Ramis.
I never got to meet Harold That’s one of my biggest regrets like when I never got to meet Brittany Murphy , Chadwick boseman , Stan lee, and others. There was so many heartfelt things I wanted to tell Harold so badly. But now I will never get to. Poor man. He truly was taken from us far too soon. He had a family and children to be there for. Not to mention he had to be there for the ghostbusters cast members and keep playing as Egon in future ghostbusters films. Rip Harold ramis. May you Rest In Peace with your very own collection of spores, molds and fungus and a whole paper bag of big twinkies
If Harold had a fault, it was his extreme modesty. No compliment went to his head, apparently. He seemed to be a very humble, quiet and lovely nice man, almost embarrassed when attention came his way. The final minutes of this video are an illustration & education of how fake 'Hollywood' has become, not to say that it was ever "Real" - a series of questions & phony reactions without the interview-ee even being present. Did Belushi mind being considered "Chubby"? egads.
On the contrary, I feel new respect for the reporters of that era, not only they had to make their job, but they had to be part actors. Cameras were expensive back then, so they didn't have the luxury of taking two cameras, and two cameramen, to the interview. And they had to remember what was said, after the actor left, react on their memories and do it quickly, because surely there was another interviewer waiting for his turn. And sometimes the part of the reporter would be erased completely in shows and substituted with the show host pretending that he or she did the interview.

prowlie they were planning to continue with the original crew but due to Harold's sudden passing and dan's losing his ambition to star in another movie made the director make a new crew R.I.P Harold Ramis
Conocer la voz real de Harold es sensacional; estaba acostumbrada a su voz en Español latino que le queda perfecta...doblaje oficial no solo para las cintas sino tambien para la serie de dibujos animados de los 80's
Remember when interviewers had non invasive questions and interviews left people with good feelings and certain good questions, not awkward tension; What a breath of fresh air this was, R.I.P Mr. Ramis. If you haven’t seen ghostbusters afterlife you must 😢
I had a huge crush on Harold Ramis as a tween in the 80s. My friends were into Tom Cruise and the like, but to me Harold beat them all. Handsome, smart, funny.
This interviewer wasn't interested in Harold at all. You can tell she didn't do any homewrk on who he was and what he has done. She's worse than Larry King (see his Seinfeld interview. Jerry wasn't as nice as Harold here) and she veres into Jeremy Glick territory. By this time Harold had shown the type of comedy that he was about. Very cerebral and nuanced.

I am so grateful Ramis wasn't like Murray, Aykroyd, or Belushi. Ramis was authentically himself, and he was brilliant. Rest in peace, Egon.
I don’t think he did drugs, or drink that heavily. He’s a lot more level headed and patient.
His death broke my heart

I could listen to his voice all day long
His commentary for this film is interesting
Oh god, I know right!? Wasn't he always just so ridiculously sexy?! 🥵🔥😍
If you're not in love with Harold yet, just watch this interview! Could that man have been more adorable? We miss you, Mr. Ramis!
ahh i just love him 😩 i miss him sm
I love him. I'd like he was here still...
I love him. I'd like he was here still...
GOD I love this sweet, smiley, kind man!!
+burtonrules123 Oh yeah! :D ^_^
@@RhapsodyAntics Not necessarily true, sadly. There are a lot of very miserable, filthy rich people in this world.
Era además de talentoso muy apuesto e interesante.
I miss Harold Ramis

Too
R.I.P Harold ramis you was great man of making us happy and when you do well in gb 1 and 2 you will be missed but forever never be forgotten
Me too
I miss him too he was a good actor in ghostbusters
He was soooo handsome 😍😍😍
I cried my eyes out at the end of Afterlife. So poignant and beautifully done.
This whole interview kept me smiling the whole time. Man I miss Mr. Ramis.
He is the kind of genius we don't see anymore in Hollywood
true
We were in love the summer of 1984 in NYC, what a great 3 years we spent together. Rest well, Harold. You gave me great joy xo Sandra
Sandra Bogan Wow, no shit? That must have been absolutely unforgettable. The same year Ghostbusters was released too. I hope you have many fond memories of that time that must seem a lifetime ago
Ramis got divorced in 1984 so this could fit the timeline.
His official biography confirms that they were together for 5 years and that Bogan was on Second City.
Wow, this is actually confirmed?
WHAT
nerdy yet smooth... strong winning combo in life
Harold Ramis is a down to earth guy, and amazing voice. I can listen to him all day. Rip Harold Ramis.
This man was so sweet, smooth, humble, nerdy and fine 😭😍 R.I.P 🙏💖

He may be gone, but he's alive in our hearts
I wish I gotten the chance to meet this amazing man
What an adorable man. Rest in Peace.
Amén 🙏
Amén 🙏
I collect spores, molds and fungus.

I looked at the trap, Ray.
My favorite Line ever!
I looked for this comment 😂
God he has a handsome-ness that I can't explain. He was about 40 here and just so amazing.
He seemed like a REAL person... like someone I might have helped find an item at a retail job I used to have. Wish I had had the pleasure. Rest well, Mr. Ramis.
It's because, he's from Chicago!
I ❤ Harold ramis he was just so kind,sweet ,hilarious and caring I WAS WEEPING WHEN HE DIED 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

The man was a genius would have loved for him to see the new ghostbusters when it comes out
Seeing him in afterlife at the end was mind bending, not because of the whole special visual effects but from a emotional standpoint
Harold Ramis, a living legend, may his soul rest and not haunt us for the fact he's exactly what he fought against as Egon.
Hardly a living legend then, was he. :D
I really this guy 😭😭😭💔he was an amazing guy and amazing writer and actor !!!!! Who could not love him !!!
What a perfect man way he speaks way he responded to the questions you shall be missed x
I'm literally crying during this! Rest in peace!!!
Such a fantastically talented writer. Always Missed.
He seems like quite a quiet shy person
I miss you Harold Ramis RIP
Cool guy... maybe if he was still alive the Ghostbusters name wouldn't have been destroyed like it has been lately
prowlie they were planning to continue with the original crew but due to Harold's sudden passing and dan's losing his ambition to star in another movie made the director make a new crew R.I.P Harold Ramis
It was redeemed in the Afterlife. Get over it
I miss him:-(😥😞 #egonbutnotforgotten #haroldramisbestactor
Really I'm not sure he played you right
Great guy, and my favourite Ghostbuster.
Can't unsee Egon
You're the man Harold Ramis.
Im crying Rip harold😢😢
so much nice comments on this vid.What a legend of man.much respect👌
His voice is so soothing!!!!
I know, right?
What a gentleman!
Thanks Harold to give us Ghostbusters and your character of Egon Spengler! RIP and you miss us!

The original Harold voice was unique. In italian we used Mario Cordova great voice
This guys a legend.
What a great guy
R.I.P. Harold Ramis. You were an absolute humble genius man and you portrayed my favorite Ghostbuster.
I miss him so much💔💔💔
Egon Spengler was a 'look'. Used to see science kids in school that had that look.
so cool. never seen some of this fotage. ♡♡♡♡ nice find
I love you RIP Harold Ramis!
Remember when interviewers had non invasive questions and interviews left people with good feelings and certain good questions, not awkward tension; What a breath of fresh air this was, R.I.P Mr. Ramis. If you haven’t seen ghostbusters afterlife you must 😢
He was so good
RIP Harold Ramis, Egon Spengler forever
Great man! Rest In Peace, Mr. Ramis.
RIP Mr Harold Ramis sir
RIP nice man:-)
Loved him. Egon was my favorite.
Harold was sexy! Lol
Still miss ya Harold… zero doubt we need more directors and writers like yourself in this extraordinary woke world in film.
Am I the only guy in the room that just realized this is some kind of pre-edit for TV reel never meant to be seen?
RIP Harold Ramis - I love this interviewer's reaction laugh at the end though, I spat my food everywhere hahah - Then to serious - what a pro!
What an amazing interview.
Rip Man. True legend
We don't get interviews like this anymore
Harold is smiling down watching the new Ghostbusters movies.
He always seems so shy during interviews..
Egon, my dear i miss you . Harold rest in peace with god.
I love the 'see how the sausage is made' section at the end
I had a huge crush on Harold Ramis as a tween in the 80s. My friends were into Tom Cruise and the like, but to me Harold beat them all. Handsome, smart, funny.
I miss him so much. Ghostbusters 1 and 2 are the best movies.
i know i late... family guy bought me here. The skit with kermit, harold ramis, ray romano, and al michaels. lol
If The Fly 1986 had been an comedy instead of a serious sci-fi horror, Harold would be Seth Brundle.
Harold and Leonard Nimoy wouldve been an awesome conversation
Yes!
Damn, I was only 20 back then. He will be sorely missed!!
Так он як вони писали інтерв'ю! У Гарольда була гарна усмішка і очі такі теплі.
Woah, the extra takes at the end are so cool to see! She’s really great
R.I.P. Harold Ramis (1944-2014).
Lol. “I don’t believe in sequels” RIP Harold and John
R.I.P
At least he did one sequel
Sad he is gone from us.
He was the best thing im GB. So funny
In a world of boys he was a gentleman.
❤️
What a GREAT Guy.
Harold va beaucoup nous manquer 😢
1984 interviews are slow in comparison. I enjoyed it! Now you have to be bouncing off the walls.
Doo……Rayy……Egonn….
I miss you Harold
The pauses (since it’s behind the scenes) are so strange.
Pretty unintentionally funny though.

This interviewer wasn't interested in Harold at all. You can tell she didn't do any homewrk on who he was and what he has done. She's worse than Larry King (see his Seinfeld interview. Jerry wasn't as nice as Harold here) and she veres into Jeremy Glick territory.
By this time Harold had shown the type of comedy that he was about. Very cerebral and nuanced.
