Such a beautiful soul. RIP Freddie - June 22, 1954 - January 29, 1977
loved chico and the man.
Beautiful souls do not blow their heads off when they have a young child, disturbed souls do.
@@AGoat1971 Rude. Obviously you have never lost someone. And further, no one asked you. Go away troll.
I was 10 years old when he died. We loved him!
He was a head of his time rip Freddie Prinze today is 44 year of his passing 😢1/28/77
I wished he knew how much he was loved 😢
Growing up in Puerto Rico during the 1960s and 70s I didn't know there was a Freddie Prinze or a Geraldo Rivera in american TV until I moved to NYC in 1980.
I first heard of Freddie one day working at this company in midtown Manhattan. A new coworker, a girl by the name of Thursday said I looked like "Chico and the Man". I said, who?.
I didn't know who she was talking about but then I learned she meant I looked like Freddie Prinze.
I mentioned it to my nuyorican wife when I got home and she said it was true. When I saw him I thought they were right.
RIP Freddie.
He'd still be here at age 68. What a shame.
I was 14 then and loved his show and his character, when he died it really effected me, confused, i still carry that with me 50 years later. RIP Freddie
I was 15 when he died and too young to realize what a pioneer he was. So ahead of his time. It's a sad feeling you get watching these videos. It's not healthy to live in the past but it's also imperative not to forget it. We need to remember people like Freddie Prinze to inspire and to keep us in check as to how fragile life can be. 🙏🏽🇵🇷🙏🏽
What a joy to see this. Insightful. Freddie at such a young age was a deep old soul.
Love it! Freddie Prinze was the best comedian!
I remember when Jack Albertson shared words of condolence on TV after Freddie's passing. The great Jose Feliciano sang the Chico & The Man theme song. Great memories. GONE TOO SOON!
LOOOOKING GOOOOOD😁
😙😘💋 He was a cutie pie.
He sure was.
I didn’t really know anything about him, but on the miniseries, he was effing phenomenal
I remember when He passed away,I was nine years old
I was 9 too! First “suicide” I heard of. I was so saddened. I kept asking my parents like why would he do this😢
I was 11. He was my first schoolgirl celebrity crush.
I never seen this before love it.Freddie Prinze was one of my favorites
Freddie tapped into what society's hang ups were. He does the trope jokes by circumventing. But, the parody on the tropes is integral. Because that's a big part of American History. So he was intelligent enough to see why they are laughing. But, he said something at the end while talking to Geraldo. He tapped into the problem about America. He talked about the different ethnic groups. White people don't want to hear that truth. But, everything he said was facts. His Chico and The Man now looking at it; was popular because he made people see latinos in another light. He was really strong in how he represented. Rest Easy Freddie. You live on .
I feel like so many people today would try to cancel him. It's crazy to think how different things were back then.
He's was so beautiful
💘 Loved watching your talent Freddie. Rest in Paradise. 💗🤞🙏
Loved Freddie. What a talented and handsome man ! I was in the 10th grade when he passed . So very sad :(
I feel like Freddie Prinze and Cheech would’ve done well together
“Cheech, Prinze & Chong” !! I like it !! If only.... Freddy’s death sucked so bad, I hated that they kept HIS show going without him after his suicide. That’s when I stopped watching it. Even at 13 years old I said “What the fuck, total disrespect !!”
Fantastic interview. So young and thoughtful.
He was a great man an funny to 😊
I used to love reruns of his show as a kid! I was 4 when this came out so I was too young to watch anything but cartoons, but a few years later as an older kid (after the suicide of prince) I watched it!
He was just 20 here but looks older.
Because he was on drugs
He seemed like such a sad person. Very good looking with great hair. I've been trying for years to find the familiar resemblance between him and Freddie Prinze Jr and I just do not see it. FPJ is handsome too but not a bit of resemblance or similarities to this guy.
I love the way he whispers at 3:37. 😍
I loved Freddie Prinze. Too much too fast for him.
Thank you so much for posting this ! ❤️
I love how he opens it with a laugh aha
Ahh Freddie Prinz ❤
Talented so young rip I was in love with his son
Thank you...
Freddie Prinze talking about the pom-poms and the Chevy and the little dog in the back with the head going up and down I remember the first time I heard that from him and I couldn't stop laughing she may have been on Carson but yeah if enjoy his work
Awesome interview
Geraldo looks awesome with long hair and his mustache looks good
Too bad. Such a sad and needless ending.
Freddie Prinze did alot of live standup around the country but I could never find any recordings even bootlegs. I hope something was recorded and is good enough quality to be released .
He did a live album called Looking Good. Also look for his HBO Special Freddie Prinze and Friends (1976).
@@NYVoice yes I have that Album. But he did standup for 3 years as a star at big locations and no other recordings?
I bought one if his albums at a Goodwill not too long ago so he at least did one album.
Rip Freddie
Geraldo was only 31 and freddie was 20.
Both half 🇵🇷of course their talent comes from their PRican side🤪✌
He would have been a huge star if he didn't get involved with drugs. Nothing good can come of it.
Times was Hard for CHICO !!
He was a huge star. With nobody to guide him.
He was an addicted man
Love you Chico❤️ so misunderstood😢
It's really interesting listening to Freddie discuss Nixon after he resigned. When this aired, the watergate scandal was not too long ago.
I still say it was ashame
Tremendo talento que se perdió demasiado joven
Frederick James Prinze Sr. (nacido como Frederick Karl Pruetzel; Nueva York; 22 de junio de 1954 - Nueva York; 29 de enero de 1977) fue un comediante y actor estadounidense. Durante los años 1970, protagonizó el papel titular de la serie cómica Chico and the Man, interpretando el papel de Chico Rodríguez, un mecánico chicano trabajando para un envejecido anglosajón intolerante y gruñón en su taller de automóviles.
He woulda put Latinos on the Map ages ago! They wasn't ready
He has a somber tone to his voice
Jr should see his dad i feel bad for him when he bady of 1 years old
The host looks really sleazy love the look .
That’s my family!!
I would never know he had a drug problem looking at him and listening to him. Drugs totally screw some people up and not others.
he committed suicide in 1977, very sad ending of his life
Crazy thing,all these years knowing about Freddie Prinze and his story...never knew he was part Jewish!I always thought he was Hispanic,which he is half of.
His mom was Puerto Rican father was hungarian...he was a hungry Puerto Rican....according to him.
But think he was half German.
@amgoooder, Freddie called himself a Hungarican.
Close your eyes and picture Eddie Murphy talking
Not even close
Gerald Michael Rivera (nacido el 4 de julio de 1943), mejor conocido como Geraldo Rivera, es un abogado estadounidense, periodista, escritor, y presentador de entrevistas. Fue el anfitrión de su propio show de entrevistas, Geraldo, entre 1987 y 1998. Rivera fue el presentador de la revista informativa Geraldo en Grande, anfitrión de la emisión ocasional Los Informes de Geraldo Rivera (en lugar de presentar Geraldo en Grande), y además apareció regularmente en programas del canal informativo Fox News como Los Cinco, entre otros.
Geraldo's large hair.
Freddie was influenced by Lenny Bruce, how ironic
Like frick like frack.....
Geraldo tenía la misma cara de progre que tiene hoy.
Like John Belushi, wasted talent.
He looks just like Chico and Corey. 😊
I love how out of all the racist shit he said people only got offended when he made fun of the president lol
Who’s offended? Please tell me your not one of those woke easily offended person, people like that are really annoying.
@@bellestar777 Clearly, you did NOT watch the whole interview. A lot of problems are caused by people talking before they know what they’re talking about.
In 3 years he was gone. Too much too soon. Immature and inexperienced in life. He should've made it at 40 so he could grow up and live a life.
Bits in the bathroom 😝💩💩💩
Quaaludes and cocaine
A drug addicted man that literally blew it
haha what do ya know, I hate geraldo back then and I still can't stand the creep
He's not Mexican!
In the TV show he was.
Nope ,me I'm half Irish half Puerto Rican how bout that
Those racial jokes on "Chico & The Man" wouldn't fly today. Much too politically Incorrect for the overly sensitive types out there these days
Love it! Freddie Prinze was the best comedian!
