1973 episode of the Vin Scully Show with guest Carroll O'Connor. Originally seen on CBS. The show was taped at CBS Television City in Hollywood. Johnny Gilbert was the show announcer and HB Barnum the music director.
I cried the day I heard this beautiful man passed away. I loved AITF as a kid but didn't appreciate what a work of art it was until I started watching reruns as an adult.
I recently re-watched all of All In The Family on FreeVee TV after many decades. How addictive it was! I laughed, I cried, it was a million times better than anything on today. I had such withdrawal pains when it was over.
@@AlmostReady504 Indeed. That is one of the big reasons I became hooked on Korean dramas two decades ago. American TV writers today seemed to lose that ability to combine pathos with humor, yet it is intrinsic to the Korean dramas I have watched. In one scene I am laughing, and the very next scene I tear up! Brilliant writing. The last modern American TV show I watched was Monk, and that ended in 2010! American TV writers could learn some big lessons from the Korean entertainment world.
I bought every season on DVD years ago. I still pop them in now and then to laugh at and fall asleep to at night. There is nothing like it on the air that has even come close.
They wrote and produced 24-25 shows every season. Can you imagine that these days? And each one had moments of greatness. Best writing and acting on a sitcom, ever.
Yeah a bunch of snowflake intellectuals unionized I can imagine a bunch of cry baby sissies nowadays not like back then real men coming off world war I1 is the best
Remember also, especially in the early season's there was ABC, CBS & NBC +an educational station with the addition of a local non affiliated station or two. So, the viewers for the major television networks had little competition, no competion from VCR's or much in the way of cable television, so the audience was almost guaranteed which allowed for generous budgets to produce top rate content. While I well remember AITF, I was a bit too young to really appreciate the adult nature of the situations presented each week. Today's TV is far too fractured to garner the investment needed by the networks to produce anything that appeal to anything other than the lowest common denominator. Have not watched network TV since the West Wing was a thing.
@@garylobo348 Out with the Cleavers is a mixed blessing though. As much as I love All In The Family, the shows that came later after that door was opened lacked the relevance and writing of AITF but also lacked the warmth and innocence of the 50's and 60's shows. By the 80's it was the worst of both worlds.
I don't know about the best but it was up there for sure.. what's amazing is just the talent of these sitcoms.. from the actors, producers, script writer's, camera work,all the way down to the scenery on the various sets.. never going to see this again
Vin Scully continues to amaze me even after his passing. Had no idea he had this show. And he's a great interviewer. Of course. One of the great broadcasters of all time.
I'm so glad I found this video, and a Dodger fan since 1962 I'm 72 years old and Vin Scully just passed away been listening to him obviously many years he's a legend going to really miss him he's the best announcer ever I don't care what anyone says very sad but life moves on so happy trails everybody and rest in peace Vinny
I had no idea Vin once had his own show. And WOW!!…Carrol at the height of his stardom. This is freakin amazing.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Btw…The episode that he mentioned they were rehearsing upstairs is called ‘Hot Watch’ where he buys a $300 watch for $25 and Mike (Meathead) thinks it’s stolen. February 17th 1973.👍🏾
Carol was a VERY glib intellectual man. He certainly played a character the COMPLETE opposite of himself. Which only goes too tell you how great an actor he truly was. The same can be said for Gene Stapleton. RIP too both of them.
I’ve been watching so many videos of legends that have passed away and realize just how great these people were and how I didn’t appreciate it enough when it’s happening. Once it’s gone….it’s gone. Thanks to all that post these.
It's so wild to hear his natural speaking voice. My grandmother sat next to Carroll on a first class flight from NYC to Chicago in the early 70s. She said he was incredibly interesting, polite, and very well spoken. A real gentleman.
@@kimberlychicago7608 it sounds exactly like Archie. Same Brooklyn accent, pretty much same mannerisms. ANYONE who didn’t live under a rock would know that voice in the dark 😂he sounded somewhat different in The Heat Of The Night
@@kimberlychicago7608 you might want to get your hearing checked. Who do you think he sounds like, Alex Jones ? 😂 I was expecting something different but no 🤦♂️
This was absolutely wonderful! I love how Caroll was so soft-spoken in real life. I liked the little comedy bits Vin had on his show. Thank you for sharing this.
Wow!!! I love these old interviews!! I’m a huge fan of Carroll O’Connor!! My favourite actor! Seeing him as him! Like hearing his autobiography I read here!! Totally awesome! Those were the days!! Carroll looked like a cool guy! Thank you for sharing this!
Vin Scully and Carroll O'Connor... both iconic and irreplaceable. It's hard to even quantify just how talented and gifted each was in their respective professions. Absolute masters of their craft who made it look easy and effortless sadly from a bygone era. After all these decades I had no idea Scully had his own show, at least no recollection of it. Today there are no legends in the making. Zero.
It is really fascinating to see an interview with an actor from a classic TV show, when the show was fresh and new and he was still not completely aware of where the character would go. Very interesting clip, thanks for it.
Living in Los Angeles and remembering seeing Vin Scully doing Dodgers Baseball on KTTV Channel 11 - Los Angeles, seeing this video now (In October, 2022), this is news to me that Vin Scully ever had his own talk show. The only talk show I remembered Vin Scully doing was Dodger Dugout normally shown before Dodger Games. R.I.P.: Vin Scully and Carroll O'Connor
All in the family has been my favorite show since I was about 13. At that point, it had been over for almost 2 decades. Those characters and stories just hooked me so quickly tho. There truly is something so timeless about it. Moments that make you raise your eyebrows, moments that make you laugh till you cry, and some moments that just make you cry. Not a single character on that show was one dimensional either. As a matter of fact, over the years of studying them ive found that there is a lot more heart and love to Archie than most give him credit for and a lot more anger and arrogance to meathead than most realize as well. A show like that could never be made today, and if it was, it wouldn't even come close to being as honest and impactful. Nope couldnt be made today, but thank goodness it could be back then.
I remember this show from the early 70’s. Vin Scully before he began his national sportscasting duties at CBS and NBC. RIP Vin Scully and Carroll O’ Connor.
Scully seem to be going after him a bit. He should have known better with all that bigot business. I guess maybe he was just giving Carol O'Connor a chance to defend himself when there was no need. Maybe Vin was projecting a bit. I don't know. Two American icons. I just wonderful to rewatch All in the Family in this day and age
Not really: O’Connor (very much a liberal in real life) himself viewed as playing a bigoted character but one with heart. It’s a bit reductive but even then it was important to present him as a flawed character lest the activists go after the show…That was producer Norman Lear’s vision in any event.
Wow! I never knew Vin Scully had his own talk show. The news obituary never mentioned this, guess it wasn't on that long to bring up I guess. They should've! Continue to rest in peace, Mr. Scully. You'll always be my #1 Dodger announcer of all-time! Thank you for posting this Mr. Schwarz! Love it. And Carroll O'Conner to boot! WOW!
This aired late afternoon, following the soaps. I had watched a rerun of The Joker's Wild from the early 70's about 20 years ago, and Jack Barry plugged this show. I believe it aired after The Edge Of Night, and ended sometime in 1973.
@@ericindeck4019 I thought Vin Scully did an excellent job. He actually let Mr. O'Conner talk most throughout the entire episode, unlike some past talk show hosts like Pat Sajak never letting any celebrity speak and having the spotlight to himself. Example: Werner Klemperer on Pat Sajak Show, then Sajak screws it up by calling Hogans Heroes POW Camp a "concentration camp" which upset Mr. Klemperer. Ticked me off too watching that segment! Big difference there Sajak, you idiot! I never cared for Sajak or wheel of fortune for that matter! I think he's got a bad personality! No wonder his "talk show" didn't last!
I also didn't know Vin Scully had a show. Two extremely classy, intelligent and articulate individuals conducting a brilliant interview. Unlike today, a classic piece.
Who knew Vin just passed away a few weeks ago? Wow. 94 years old. (In November 2017, Scully stated that he would "never watch another NFL game again," due to some of the league's players kneeling during the playing of the national anthem prior to games.) GREAT AMERICAN!
I'll always love and miss Vin, but this was a bad take. The National Anthem doesn't belong to the military. It belongs to the American people, including the players who kneeled before NFL games. I'll never understand why so many people were so insulted by that. They must not know Colin Kaepernick was persuaded to kneel by a former Army Green Beret. I know plenty of veterans who care more about the lives of black Americans than who sits, stands or kneels for a pre-game song.
This is wonderfully comfortable and relaxing. My husband and I are binge watching AITF and at 66 years I'm finally realizing the genius of Carroll. I was too busy being a teenager & only occasionally watched; when I did watch I asked my savvy NYC Mom, HOW CAN YOU WATCH THIS? She raised me with no prejudice. I bought his autobiography from Amazon and there's something so peaceful about his voice that relaxes my mental illness (depression, severe anxiety and panic disorder). I hope he'd feel good about that, with the tragic loss of his son Hugh. An old saying from the great author Fannie Flagg: "Sometimes I Just Can't Wait To Get To Heaven". ✌️🙏
What a charismatic man he was ❤❤❤ Looking back at this interview , it somehow seems , like he's still going strong ..... ( alive ) ***** Strange to see SMOKING on tv being allowed back then .......
Two top cats... I'm 62....when I was young and pretty,my girlfriend and I were having relational issues. Her parents had bought her a little portable tv.. one of the first shows we watched was the episode when Edith passed. We both cried... IT was a lovely thing. Never forget it.
Can you imagine this kind of setting today? Smoking a cigar and blowing smoke in the face of a host sitting 2 feet away. Dang the 70s were a weird time.
Johnny Gilbert 1973: "Ladies and Gentlemen, Vin Scully!" Johnny Gilbert 2020: "Ladies and Gentlemen, Alex Trebek!" Now, that's longevity in TV land....
I saw a short while back that O'Connor was born in Manhattan, but his accent was so refined, I thought almost British, but I guess Irish would be more correct considering his parentage. I loved listening to it.
@@January. With a distinguishable Irish lilt to it. There is no "American English." There are lots of American accents of English, depending on what region or state you live in, or your ethnic ancestry. I guess only a few high school English teachers will mention that fact, so I must have gotten lucky.
O’Connor was “lace-curtain” Irish-American, not working class (but knew and lived among them)but his TV “Archie “accent was- and more Brooklyn Irish at that (despite being anti-Catholic as a character.) And besides there are several brands of New York accents based on ethnic and class origins. O’Connor does have a faint New York accent but his erudition as an actor shines through, hence the almost British flair. For the record, Scully too was an Irish-American New Yorker as well- but from the Bronx- a Cardinal Hayes High School graduate.
I can't believe they let him smoke on that show as well as other interviews. I've been rediscovering this show and forgot how hilarious he could be! Watching every Sun night now. I could however have done without the smoking drinking and calling Edith dingbat! I wonder if he hadn't smoked so much would he still be alive today. I wishing I could have met this actor in person!
Yeah, 'teared up' at the really dumb decision to kill off Stapelton's character in order to continue(drag out, needlessly) the series, at the behest/insistence of a desperate, O'connor
But the show showed us that Archie was a three dimensional person and he wasn't a bad dude. He showed incredible love for his family and eventually even Meathead.
He did such a great job of playing Archie it was really hard for me to accept him as the sheriff in the heat of the night. Same way that Jackie Gleason will forever be Ralph Kramden..both altered their voices and mannerisms to fit the characters that they portrayed.
As a kid meathead and Gloria were much older young people but represented the then modern attitude. Archie and Edith were the establishment in an Archie rebelious decline. Now in retrospect older now than Archie and Edith, one feels at odds with Meathead and Gloria as life makes Archie's sarcrastic point of view more believable A movie ro watch is Law and Disorder starring Carrol Oconner was Ernest Borgnine that ehows more of an Archie bunker like character dealing with 70s NY
What a gem. How did you get a master tape? He just passed... Wild. These old timers lived a long time. So they are filming in Studio 33? THE TALK must be trying to recreate this or sumthin...
How this laid back actor brought this bombastic character to life was incredible
I cried the day I heard this beautiful man passed away. I loved AITF as a kid but didn't appreciate what a work of art it was until I started watching reruns as an adult.
Carrol O'Connor a class act
I can't picture anybody else ever portraying Archie Bunker.
I recently re-watched all of All In The Family on FreeVee TV after many decades. How addictive it was! I laughed, I cried, it was a million times better than anything on today. I had such withdrawal pains when it was over.
All in the Family and The Honeymooners two shows that could have you laughing one second and shedding a tear the next. To me that is brilliance.

@@robertarnold9676 he should have had a talk show interviewing baseball greats he would be so great at it
@@Joeelectronicschematicsforauto no one cares about baseball or sports... that's low brow entertainment
Baseball may be low brow, but Vin scully certainly wasn’t. The man was a true poet
They wrote and produced 24-25 shows every season. Can you imagine that these days? And each one had moments of greatness. Best writing and acting on a sitcom, ever.
Exactly correct. Plus they opened the door for every controversial topic of the day. Out with the Cleavers and in with the Bunkers.

i grew up in LA 60s and 70s was a Dodger fan...never knew this was a thing
A fantastic credit to his Irish heritage! And a great American who so skillfully portrayed the character of Archie. And a great father. ❤
Looks like that was taped on the old Price is Right set.
Can you imagine this kind of setting today? Smoking a cigar and blowing smoke in the face of a host sitting 2 feet away. Dang the 70s were a weird time.
A better time than now.
Where was the ash tray ??
Yeah, and today's world is totally insane! I prefer the "wierd" 70s.😏
Carol was great as the General in Kelly's Heroes. I saw it at the drive in theater.
It’s wild to hear him talk without a NY accent
I like him a lot. He accent is often very effected.

Fantastic. Thanks for posting.
Carol O’Connor is an excellent interview. Also didn’t know Vin Scully had his own show.
Interesting to hear his actual speaking voice without the New York accent.
And yet he was from NY!
O’Connor was “lace-curtain” Irish-American, not working class (but knew and lived among them)but his TV “Archie “accent was- and more Brooklyn Irish at that (despite being anti-Catholic as a character.) And besides there are several brands of New York accents based on ethnic and class origins. O’Connor does have a faint New York accent but his erudition as an actor shines through, hence the almost British flair. For the record, Scully too was an Irish-American New Yorker as well- but from the Bronx- a Cardinal Hayes High School graduate.
Shows back then had at least had 20 episodes a season. We`re lucky to get 8 or 10 in a season now.
Im obsessed with all thing AITF!! Love Carol O’Connor!!
Vin Scully did a pretty good Irish accent.
Carroll's talents won him an Emmy in comedy and drama lead actor...what a talet!!
Loved watching carol talk… you could see his personality and still see Archie.
TWO AMERICAN ICONS!
He was amazing in in the heat of the night too❤️
And what a gift we got when he was In the Heat of the Night.
Carol was so good…. What great characters he gave us…
I never knew there was a Vin Scully Show...
I miss intelligent talk shows
I can't believe they let him smoke on that show as well as other interviews. I've been rediscovering this show and forgot how hilarious he could be! Watching every Sun night now. I could however have done without the smoking drinking and calling Edith dingbat! I wonder if he hadn't smoked so much would he still be alive today. I wishing I could have met this actor in person!
I always thought it would have been interesting if they had done a episode of ''All in the family'' that had (Archie Bunke meet Carroll O'Connor).
Johnny Gilbert was the announcer.
Loved his show
I teared up when Edith passed away in the series.
Yeah, 'teared up' at the really dumb decision to kill off Stapelton's character in order to continue(drag out, needlessly) the series, at the behest/insistence of a desperate, O'connor
No , Jean wanted to leave.
Carol is SO GREAT! Handsome guy! I read he had a Master's in English and was teaching English before ALl in the Family!
Carroll had some of the most beautiful eyes.
But the show showed us that Archie was a three dimensional person and he wasn't a bad dude. He showed incredible love for his family and eventually even Meathead.
He did such a great job of playing Archie it was really hard for me to accept him as the sheriff in the heat of the night. Same way that Jackie Gleason will forever be Ralph Kramden..both altered their voices and mannerisms to fit the characters that they portrayed.
Love the smoking on TV … those were the days 😂
Genius!!!
He'd already done a bit of movies before this
The good ole days.
Was this before the Dodgers? I never knew he had his own show.
AITF and Carroll were great.
As a kid meathead and Gloria were much older young people but represented the then modern attitude.
Archie and Edith were the establishment in an Archie rebelious decline.
Now in retrospect older now than Archie and Edith, one feels at odds with Meathead and Gloria as life makes Archie's sarcrastic point of view more believable
A movie ro watch is Law and Disorder starring Carrol Oconner was Ernest Borgnine that ehows more of an Archie bunker like character dealing with 70s NY
What a gem. How did you get a master tape? He just passed... Wild. These old timers lived a long time.
So they are filming in Studio 33? THE TALK must be trying to recreate this or sumthin...
Archie is the greatest TV character of all time!
He would not be considered a character actor in TV today.
amazing Vince had to get a 2nd gig in the baseball off season
I’m 61 and Ive never heard of the Vin Scully Show. Parallel universe?
Quite a cigar Archie has.
🥱
Before he joined CBS Sports in 1975
RIP to All
Vin Scully had a face for radio.
When Gloria had a miscarriage, Archie showed his soft side. Very touching.
They're sitting much closer than people usually sit on talk shows. A bit awkward.
Perhaps but it could be seen as akin to a crowded bar , “shooting the breeze” among friends.
Not awkward for me at all.
Awkward? Tell me you're introverted socially awkward without telling me
If Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman had any sense Carroll O Connor would have made an awesome M in the James Bond films.
He was such the opposite of the character… but I loved the show because Archie and Edith were just like my grandparents. And exactly physically.
Never heard of this guy. How long was it on? Was it a national show?
Very few of Carol O'Connor autograph's out there. From what I've heard he didn't like signing autographs. If you have one it's probably worth some 💰.
A great, relaxed interview. I think Mickey Rooney would have been great as Archie Bunker.
He's right there are a lot of Archie's out there and if they made a all in the family in 2022 it would be canceled 1st episode
It wouldn't even make it to pilot.
*There are a lot of Archies out there. *an All in the Family
Who the heck was that guy walking down the aisle at Caroll O'Connor's introduction?
I know, I thought it was Carroll coming from the back/front? of the studio.
@@January. fixed it. Thanks!
