    I must have watched Beethoven 1 and 2 about a million times as a kid... this guy was a huge part of my childhood for these 2 movies alone.

    Hol up, so he's 60 in this clip?!? Wowow, I grew up with this guy as a movie father, like 30s-40s. He was already 60 here?!? RIP

    Charles Grodin is gold on any talk show. He was being quite nice to Conan, maybe disarmed by his self-deprecation or taking it easy on the new guy.

    We're at the age when we're saying goodbye to our oldest friends.
    _The Great Muppet Caper,_ _Dave,_ _So I Married An Axe Murderer,_ _The Incredible Shrinking Woman,_ _Midnight Run_
    Charles Grodin was effortlessly cool, effortlessly funny, a master of comedic timing, & elevated every thing he touched.

      You need older friends to keep _you_ going. Until it's impossible, I mean-to counteract that, I've chosen a man who was born Oct the same year as me, and I'm Dec. It helps to keep reminding another man of his mortality.

      it's crazy, Bonnie Hunt, who played his wife in the Beethoven movies (which released only a few years before thos interview) is 59 NOW... that's crazy to think about.
      they played a couple that didn't look too mismatched at all, but he was about 30 years older than her

    I can remember actor Charles Grodin in the movie Rosemary's Baby and other movies, my favorite movie he was in the 1976 movie version of King Kong starring Jessica Lane and Jeff Bridges which was a remake from the 1933 classic King Kong stars Faye Wray and Robert Armstrong. Charles Grodin appeared in theater from the 1960s to the 1970s. And he made some TV appearances in the late 1950s through 2016 and since he had appearance on a few late night talk shows. And he had his own late night talk show in the 1980s. Charles Grodin A good actor we miss him very dearly. 1935 - 2021 RIP.

    Bummed Charles has Left us- he was good in anything he did- Him and DeNiro in Midnight Run is a Classic- Grodin is good here, and had many good appearances with Carson, but when Charles Grodin was on David Letterman it was always must watch- with the exception of Letterman's final year, EVERY TIME Grodin was on he truly seemed angry and annoyed at Dave- and it went on for decades, no movie plugs, no smile, just instant hostility and dislike, with Dave being defensive and uncomfortable- many times I would think "Why does Charles keep coming on? He hates Dave" - It took me years to realize it was a running bit, then it made it even funnier- that to me is one of Grodin's greatest "roles" that seldom gets talked about
