Funny how he said he'd like to come back as a Bird and he did in a sense as Marty Byrde in Ozark, one of the best shows on Netflix. He hasn't changed much, still has that calm demeanor and that sly smile like he's up to something or knows something you don't yet. Great clip!
He was acting. Child actors learn to act mature and sacrifice their innocence in return. Ever watch the Disney channel? It’ll make you nauseas. Children don’t act like adults yet that’s exactly how the characters behave on television.
I’ve been a fan of Jason since the first season of arrested development. And now watching him in Ozark is incredible. It’s amazing how he can play a funny role, and a dramatic role and nail them both! That’s rare!
This was a deep interview, Johnny was treating him like an adult. It would be a different interview with Fallon with a lot of giggling. I was too young to see Carson but he seems so quick witted with a mix of humor, intelligence and kindness.
@@ModernGoddess81 If there was somebody epically on Johnny Carson, my Parents would allow me to stay up late to see Johnny Carson since I have a great interest in how movies were made & how actors did the jobs they do. Only this interview I missed & I remember watching Jason Bateman in “It’s Your Move.” Recently as an adult he was in a very funny movie called “Paul.”. Thank goodness for you tube! You tube has videos you can see no where else on this planet!
@@mcfrench21 Me too, the same year this was taped. It was a powerhouse show too, with Bill Cosby (!!) and I think Bob Eucker. The Tonight Show band with Doc Severinsen was fantastic too.
Yes smart & and old soul almost. Very mature. He was adorable. He was so cute. Ofc we like gentlemen. We like a balance. Good manners/consideration & equality is a separate thing.
Jason Bateman was so well poised, eloquent, intelligent and witty. Very mature. Like you said, “40 year old Bateman with a higher pitched voice.” You can see that he already is the comic genius and great actor that he has shown himself to be.
WOW! I have always liked Jason Bateman but after seeing that I have huge respect for him as well. What a nice, nice kid! And seems like he grew up to be a very nice man. So rare in Hollywood.
God, does comment have to go on every Johnny Carson, or Dick Cavett show on CZcams? Like we get it Talk Shows we’re awesome back then now let’s move on.
Guys, the entire culture was so much classier. They HAVE to sell their souls to have a late night program these days, attention spans are gone, and we have been purposely dumbed down and taught to NOT critically think.
I have always loved Jason Bateman ❤ This interview is awesome. At 15 he is so poised, charming and captivating. Not to mention he holds his own in this interview with Johnny Carson. This is such a treat 😊
I remember seeing this when it originally aired. I was laughing so hard I woke my wife up. she started laughing right along when she realized what she was seeing which Honestly has been a really good source of happiness for me ever since I lost my wife so many years ago which infact broke me to pieces so seeing comments like this makes me smile.
This is why I liked Carson. He just talked to his guests and interviewed them. He didn't constantly try to make jokes or be condescending like letterman. Letterman would have interrupted him constantly with jokes about his age
i thought i was the only one who disliked letterman for his arrogance. i guess this makes two of us. i loved when cher told letterman off for being such a prick.
He has said he and his sister, Justine, don’t have a good relationship with their parents. I think he and Justine supported them financially and his parents did some crappy stuff.
There must be an enormous amount of pressure as a teenager in show business, and it must be quite a scary world for a young man. But the young Bateman is able to possess himself with class, poise, and an uncanny level-headedness, because he knows that, no matter what, there's always money in the banana stand.
@@nickhill8612 still he actually seemed to surprise Carson lol like when he was asked about if it helps with girls he was pretty honest and original about it but yeah true I’m just shocked how young he was and already famous damn
Jason really epitomizes someone who is gifted with memory skill intelligence and at such a young age is able to actuate it. Rare and amazing. He’s literally just tickled about it and can’t hide it. Innocence like this is rare and fleeting. Fascinating to watch.
Who else misses Johnny Carson? I remember my parents watching him every night when I was young. Then when I grew up and got married, my husband and I watched him every night. The good old days for sure.
Everyone misses Johnny. He was the Best of Late Night TV. Leno was great too, but not as good as Johnny of course..I'll also say Fallon, Kimmel, Colbert, and Corden are AWFUL at Late Night. They're all not funny at all. The segments are terrible. The jokes are just bad. Late night just stinks today. I stopped watching after Leno left The Tonight Show in 2014.
Wow, Jason was so calm, confident, and quick witted, and articulate. I've never seen a guest actually HELP the interviewer so gently and conversationally. Maybe the best interview ever.
I love how he comes back and asks Johnny what he thought or did. It shows why he’s a great interviewer today. He has the ability to have that back and forth conversation.
Bateman ultra relaxed. Well spoken. Kind kid. Just spot on what you want a fifteen year old to be like. Somehow, with a life in show business he has turned out very grounded and well adjusted. Nice clip. And Johnny was just the best!
You can see that gentle intelligence that made him such a good actor as a grown man. Cudos to Carson’s interviewing style as well. He knew how to speak to a 15 year old kid as well as discuss his work as an actor.
Carson was the best talk show host period didn’t try to make everything funny or a joke he was always genuinely interested and loving for his guests it’s too bad we don’t have anyone like this anymore who wants to relate and get to know his guests.
The only other according to me was Craig Ferguson. Never had a script....just wanted to talk, was genuinely interested in what he was way, made ppl feel comfortable opening up
Did he say inflation @5:04? I busted out laughing at that coming from a 15 year old. Some of these child actors are scary with their breadth of knowledge. Jodie Foster comes to mind. "Old souls."
The word Inflation was used a lot more often then. Interest rate on a savings account was 12%. Even a kid would notice when the price of a piece of penny candy went from 3 cents to 5 cents.
@@kevinbailey8827 You're right. Apparently, US inflation rate peaked at around 14% in 1980. Inflation rate declined gradually after this time but I would imagine the recent recessions, energy crises, high inflation etc would be popular topics of discussion and debate at that time.
I remember '84 pretty well. People were expected to behave a certain way when on a talk show. In fact, it always seemed like the kids were faced with a higher standard than the adults. If an adult acted goofy, he was "eccentric" and "interesting". If a kid of 15 got too silly, he'd be called immature, unequipped to handle the limelight and not yet ready to be at that level.

He's so poised, sharp witted, articulate, intelligent, and just so charming for 15! When I was 15 all the guys were jerks, and bad boys. I cried myself to sleep many times! 😅 One of my favorite actors today, and always have crushed on him.😍 Just re-watched "The Gift" , "Identity Theft" , "Game Night" and "Thunder Force." He is so good, with impeccable comedic timing. Let's not forget OZARK! Excellent actor, and great person.💞
I kinda feel like old school talk shows were just more organic and natural. These days it seems like things are all scripted and don't give the same feel.
It’s wild to hear him before his voice changed. I love Jason Bateman. Great actor! He can do all types of acting, comedy, drama, etc. Ozark is the best though! ❤️
Seems like a level headed guy his whole life. Good for him. There’s something about a phenomenal actor and celebrity that’s humble that’s great to see.
@@guyinsf when he started to act one of the first things he learned through an acting coach was to create favorable circumstances that increase the chances of success or effectiveness! All actors are taught this or most. It's not a hard word to understand or use in a conversation if the conversation is about succeeding at something. It's all about who brought you up and much of what you were taught you used it to your advantage!
@@daviclar867 Yes I totally agree with everything you said! Im just saying the reality this is one of those words that's just not a part of a mid teen's vocabulary, they may know what it means but they don't use it, especially with friends of their age. That's just the reality.
And that’s why he survived Hollywood. So well grounded and mature. He realized it was a job and not who he was. I’m glad he’s still acting and putting out great movies.

He was so sweet and mature at the same time. So cute then he became a handsome man... Great interview. ;)
He sounds so calm and mature lol
He's so poised, sharp witted, articulate, intelligent, and just so charming for 15! When I was 15 all the guys were jerks, and bad boys. I cried myself to sleep many times! 😅 One of my favorite actors today, and always have crushed on him.😍 Just re-watched "The Gift" , "Identity Theft" , "Game Night" and "Thunder Force." He is so good, with impeccable comedic timing. Let's not forget OZARK! Excellent actor, and great person.💞
One of best actors ever. Wild to see this and how long he’s been doing it.
OMG!! How cute!! Jason Bateman is one of my absolute favorites!!!!
nothing has changed but the pitch of his voice. even his mannerisms are the same
Oh wow! That was impressive and kinda weird. He's an adorable little adult.
He has not changed!!! Sweetheart through and through 🥰
Oh how much I loved J. Bateman back then! I loved him as Derek Taylor on Silver Spoons!
@Tunis VanPeenen
What??
He was the reason I watched Silver Spoons and other shows.
@@nickhill8612 me too!
I kinda feel like old school talk shows were just more organic and natural. These days it seems like things are all scripted and don't give the same feel.
Technology is a double-edged sword my lord.....
Handsome Kai :)

Yes that's why I watched Silver Spoons and other shows.
Overproduced today with folks talking in their ears telling them what to do
Cobra Kai
What a sweet soft-spoken mature young man he was. Good man all along. Wish him the best even more after watching this.
Definitely an old soul. I have loved him from the second I saw him on Little House.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Actor, producer and director.
I've always thought bateman would have been a great addition to the Hangover movies.
YES! He could’ve played Stu and it would’ve been WAY funnier !!
Hey that's true.
Ooohhhh. That’s interesting! You got me thinking now!
Nailed it
Great thought!
It’s wild to hear him before his voice changed. I love Jason Bateman. Great actor! He can do all types of acting, comedy, drama, etc. Ozark is the best though! ❤️
@Tunis VanPeenen Yes
I swear his voice is deeper here than it is now
The inflation line was a Jason Bateman classic lol. Went unnoticed..
Absolutely underrated in my opinion. Love this guy...incredible actor.
Such a calm gentle mature young man, love Jason
the master interviews a future star-love this-Jason handles being introduced with the wrong name very gracefully-no ego
Joseph and Jack are two class acts.
Always loved Jason Bateman, first time I've seen this interview. Oh my what an adorable young man he was at that age!
Seems like a level headed guy his whole life. Good for him. There’s something about a phenomenal actor and celebrity that’s humble that’s great to see.
Johnny was literally the best.
I've never met a 15 yr old that knows or uses the word "advantageous."
I've never said that word in my entire life.
Our yutes today are dumbed down.
@@daviclar867 It's not a word a teenage usually uses, then or now.
@@guyinsf when he started to act one of the first things he learned through an acting coach was to create favorable circumstances that increase the chances of success or effectiveness! All actors are taught this or most. It's not a hard word to understand or use in a conversation if the conversation is about succeeding at something. It's all about who brought you up and much of what you were taught you used it to your advantage!
@@daviclar867 Yes I totally agree with everything you said! Im just saying the reality this is one of those words that's just not a part of a mid teen's vocabulary, they may know what it means but they don't use it, especially with friends of their age. That's just the reality.
One of the most chilled interviews I have watched!
I can't get over how he hasn't changed at all! Every mannerism is still the same!! He's so stinking adorable then and now! ❤️❤️
