- Albert Finney's only appearance on Dave, here promoting "Shoot the Moon." All but the last few seconds of the film clip deleted due to copyright caution (the clip that aired ran for 1 minute 48 seconds).
The earlier guests on the show to which Dave was referring were Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas.
This was Late Night episode #7.
I met Albert Finney several times and got to chat with him. He was such an incredibly kind man, no airs about him. Just so down to earth. Amazing talent.
He was such a humble man. You would never think he was such a great movie star. Just a regular ol' Joe.

Will you commit to this program
Around which years did this happen ?
LOVED HIM IN TOM JONES!
Albert Finney was the best Scrooge ever. I watch the movie every Christmas season. And the songs are fabulous.
100000% the best version. Muppets are a (close) second.
albert finney was a great actor and will be sorely missed. RIP.
Albert Finney was brought up in my home town and lived along the road from my childhood home. Wonderful actor. RIP Son of Salford
Watch Scrooge! Finney is amazing, as in so many roles. Our family watches Scrooge every Xmas. Classic!
I fell in love with Albert Finney in" Saturday night Sunday morning" as a young woman . I've loved him ever since. Remarkable Actor. Tremendous loss. Condolences toFamily . RIP
Thanks for being Albert Finney
TWO FOR THE ROAD(1967) w/ Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn. My favorite film.
My favorite movie of his is scrooge. Rest in peace.
Albert's voice had changed here since his earlier days. One of the unsung greats. Saw Sat Night yesterday. Great actor.
He is an actor, you know.
Ebenezer Scrooge the sins of man are huge. A never ending symphony 🎶 😢 I looooove you in Scrooge 1970’
This is the first time I've ever heard Mr. Finney speak in his native accent
This is not his native accent. He was born in Salford, England. His real accent would have been very much like the character he plays in Saturday night Sunday morning. That is how he would have spoken until he attended Rada
Salford is a suburb in Manchester, England to be precise. He trained at rada.
I first saw Albert in Two for the road movie with Audrey Hepburn. And istantly fell in love with his charm and superb acting.
Great movie 1967. X
I love all of his movies. I'm watching Shoot the Moon now and just thought to look him up on yt.
Yes two for the road and then they did another one I think that was meant to be a follow-up to that ... ?
Yes two for the road is actually here for free but it's listed as un camino para dos 1967 ... yes the whole movie is in English .
... and I'm glad I just found the whole shoot the Moon movie here . Just look up Albert Finney and Diane Keaton ( shoot the moon ) on neo the-one channel ... channel name might be in capitals I'm not sure
One of my all-time favorite actors. Thank you for all your talents-a gift to us all. Rest in Peace, Mr. Finney.
I loved Albert in the Russell Crowe film "A Good Year" where he played the eccentric uncle of the character played by Russell.
Saw him first in Erin Brockovich, I was like who is this old man? To me, he carried that movie. I remember thinking he was in the mold of Hopkins, Duvall, Hackman and the like. An old timer for sure. Glad I discovered his work in subsequent years.
Farewell
Erin Brockovich was the first film I saw him in. I did not realize he was British.
@@jessicacampbell4142Same!
Did you ever see him in that social realism movie called Saturday Night Sunday Morning ? He was so young in that .
Yes I remember him in the other films such as Tom Jones or Two for The Road with Audrey Hepburn and then they made a follow-up film to that .
Love him. What a great actor and so charming too.
Handsome man , great actor .
Loved him in Big Fish. Also Wolfen, a sadly underrated movie! A classic English actor. RIP.
one of my favourite movies made is Orphans (Albert Finney, Matthew Modine and Kevin Anderson); touched me very deeply
This was great - thanks so much for sharing. He'll be so missed!
Shoot the Moon was an amazing film. One of his best out of many! His best roles were during the 80s.
One of the top five actors of all time. If you have not seen The Dresser I would urge you to see it as soon as possible. He was absolutely amazing in it! 😮
One of the best films I ever saw with Finney was called "Orphans (1987 film)" and has stayed with me all these years. So sorry this phenomenal actor is gone and will not grace our screens and minds and spirts any longer. Miss you Albert!

Thank you so very much for posting this.
RIP Mr Finney.
Dave: Let me ask about your early life. Finney: I'm still having it!!! I loved that.
"Earlier geographically rather than chronologically is what I meant to say." A young Mr. Letterman extracts his foot from his mouth!
Loved Shoot the Moon.
Such a talented actor one of my favorites
I met his cousin today. "Finney, that sounds so Irish!" He told me about his kin and I can't wait to get back to him tomorrow! "Have you ever seen the movie Annie?" His cousin is so humble and handsome too, as very older man. ❤
Albert died last year but he will always be remembered by his friends because now I am 83 him and I would have started school age 4 during v1940 when school leaving age was 14 and summer holidays only 4 weeks.
Wow that's really incredible .
So when you went to school you only had 4 weeks off in the summer ? ... that's terrible ?
Has it changed in the UK where they have longer summers to enjoy now instead of having to go to school during part of the summer ?
I can only imagine the incredible changes you have seen in the UK in your lifetime
Albert was a handsome man
An amazing actor R.I.P
Mr. Finney is one of the great actors. There are few, but he is one.
My First ‘Hercule Poirot ‘.
Excellent actor
Great actor... down to earth... r.I.p
Finney was confident, charming, and carried that segment. Letterman still had a ways to go in his interviewing skills.
That was FAST!! Way to go, Don!!
Finney was such a huge actor its hard to believe he only was interviewed by one of America's biggest late-night interviewers once, and on his second week of late night. Finney had some cold patches in film, but he remained a name presence with some big roles to come like "The Dresser," "Under The Volcano," "Miller's Crossing," and "Erin Brockovich." You'd think their paths would have crossed again.
Sweater look is unusual for Dave. I don't recall him ever being TV without a tie except in skits.
I love him from SCROOGE
I hope that my biography of Albert, Strolling Player, has paid him proper tribute. Available on Amazon. RIP Albert
Yeah nice upload, liked his work RIP
He just pass away a few days ago :( i think he was a great actor enjoy him in the movie like Breakfast of Champions and
The Dresser
AND....Under The Volcano.
he was 34 when he played scrooge and my god here he’s in is late 40s . he truly dived in the role of scrooge so perfectly.
I loved Albert Finley he was gorgeous and a fabulous actor and a very kind man 🧡❤️💗💖💙💜🥰
Have you seen him in Wolfen? Loved him to bits in Scrooge, go with God Sir...
"Shoot the Moon" is one of the best domestic dramas ever. Extraordinary script and performances.
What a remarkable actor, gone. Thank you for being so timely, as usual. Don if you're reading this, I could have sworn you had a Richard Simmons compilation, but I looked through your uploads 2x and all I can find is a single clip of Richard rehearsing a bit w Dave's mom. Am I mis-remembering or did I overlook it?
Thanks, and that's right. All I've put up so far is his rehearsal and a remote in New Jersey: czcams.com/video/rk6rGgcH_e0/video.html
@@dongiller Thanks, I could've sworn you had a compilation, or some of his individual appearances.
Not yet. It's on the list.
i hope my biography Strolling Player does him justice. Shoot the moon is covered extensively in the book.
Great Actor. Loved him as Scrooge in 1970. I watch it every Xmas
The green Man.
Loved him.in good year with russell crowe❤
fantastic movie!!fantastic performance by all of them
I like life, life likes me.
He would have made such a great 007.
If this was February 1982 I am assuming he had already wrapped filming of his role as Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks in ANNIE, because the movie was released in the summer of that same year, and here he has all his hair.
The date is correct.
Looker became one of his best.
That I think it was fall/winter...he'd be starring in Annie
The tape/air date is in the video title.
I'm Still Having IT!! Ha!
Salfords favourite son.
Just watched "The Dresser' last month.....
Wow, just discovered your amazing letterman channel Don Giller, really great stuff. I have always wanted to find a letterman skit I saw on tv around 93-94 but never have found it. I think it was a Top 10 list sketch, but somehow combined it with throwing the Top 10 card out the studio window (shatter glass sound), to drop to the streets, and then when the camera switched to show the New York street, a man was impaled by a giant Top 10 card. So funny, always wanted to find that sketch. Did you remember the sketch I'm talking about Don? Could you possible post it? Please and thanks for any information.
The closest I can find at the moment is a Viewer Mail bit from February 8, 1991. Dave throws his card to a building behind him. The giant card lands in the living room of a family.
Wow! Yes, it was a "Viewer Mail" segment for sure, Thanks so much. Is that one posted anywhere on youtube or the internet?
I haven’t put it up yet. Will after other priorities.
Oh nice! Thanks man.
Him and Ollie Reed certainly maintained a lifelong devotion to booze but Ollie must have been more of a self medicating type with his demons eventually robbong his soul , while Albert seemed to have had the capacity to resolve his issues without utter self sabotage.
1:01😂😂😂
6:43 very very funny
Wolfen
His accent started to faded away
Daddy Warocks Annie
Finney seems a bit tipsy here. No?
His resemblance back then is uncanny to Trump at this time. Color his hair and small amount of makeup, and he could have been the best Trump impersonator without trying too hard.
What is wrong with Finney in this interview? His voice, his mannerisms... What is he doing??
Why is he trying to be something that he clearly isn't?
still in roll-play?
This was his real voice and accent
How the fuck is Finney so funny?
