Crazy this was 47 years ago and he was 56 back then. Talk about living a long life. Wow. What a blessing
I love the way Kirk includes Ed in this whole interview. He always looks across at him so as not to make him feel ignored.
ME TOO
Three men in their fifties and what a combo. RIP Kirk, Johnny and Ed! You all are missed!
This was the day after Johnny's 48th birthday and Ed turned 50 seven months earlier.
@@MatthewC137 Kirk was the oldest here, and still looks better then Johnny whom looks 20 years older then 48. 😂😂
@@mariozondag2576Johnny was nine years younger than Kirk.
@@KevinMiller-xn5vu yeah, you confirm my answer right there. Some people stay in shape, and others don't. 😂😂
Always amazing when one legend speaks in praise of another legend as Kirk Douglas did about James Cagney. Two of the best ever.
What a legend thumbs up if u agree Rip Kirk
Absolutley!!
Both of them.
Fantastic actor!
@@DavianSinnerAll three of them.
This is one of the most entertaining and insightful Johnny Carson shows that I have ever seen. Kirk Douglas and Johnny Carson are gone now. We toss around the word "icon". These two men are what the word icon means. We are fortunate to be able to watch them on this video.
My deepest respect to one of the greatest actor Hollywood has ever known !!!RIP Kirk Douglas !!!
*one of the greatest actors
Huge respect for Kirk. His foot on the accelerator intensity & his fearless physical style recalls the great James Cagney, so to hear his appraisal of Cagney here is very moving. Kudos to whomever posted this clip...
Kirk was always a very engaging, fascinating and excellent interview. RIP Mr. Douglas.
RIP the amazing Kirk Douglas, last of the Hollywood greats.
steve conn Clint Eastwood. Angela Lansbury.
steve conn Mel Brooks. Now there is a legend.
@@user2144 Eastwood came much later, less interesting and more fascist. Lansbury wasn't a giant star back then, just a B-lister.
@@user2144 Came much later after the Golden Age, 1969 on.
Olivia De Havilland as well
Long Live Sparticus. Nobody filling those shoes. R.I.P.
So True such Legend Kirk GodBless
God love him ! He was part of my childhood ,my parents took me to see Spartacus when l was just a young lad and l loved every minute ! l know he was in a great many brilliant films before and after, but this was the film that defined a legend of Hollywood for me. R.I.P.
He has the distinction of having appeared in a Stanley Kubrick film.
You need to watch The Bad and The Beautiful 1953 I think. It is a powerful film also.
He was blessed with 2 lifetimes. 103 years old. One of the most interesting men in the world. He could've done the Dos Equis commercials. RIP Kirk
I like the way he does not leave Ed out of the conversation, looks at both men. Classy.
He still had 50-years left to live here. AMAZING!
After he reached 80 years old, he began to look very old IMO. His last 20 years, he looked extremely old, he got plastic surgery to look much younger and it didn't work but thanks to God, he didn't have dementia or alzheimer's until the end.
Gone are the days when we watch every move on screen of actors like the magnetic Kirk Douglas. RIP Sir.
He was in great shape. Very impressive.
What a great Star loved all his movies my late Mum would bring us to the movies and I still love to go today he is still one of Hollywood's best actors Sending lots of Love and Best Wishes to his Family Marie Dublin Ireland
Hi and thanks for your comment Marie Dublin Ireland
Kirk was awesome and will be so missed.This was a time when we had great actors and actresses, Just like music, it was better back in the day.
Agree but his son Michael was a good actor for his time also. ☺
Great actor!! A true Hollywood legend
Here is what sets the old time Hollywood icons apart from the current stars. Look at the command he has of the interview and of the audience. Larger than life characters whose personalities are sorely needed again.
Hillarious.
It's pretty cool watching these 2 legends horse around.
Thanks for the post. 👍
My father was a young sailor when he got invited to tour the Disney studios. They we filming 20,000 Leagues under the Sea staring Kirk Douglas. My Dad said Kirk was very generous with his time. Also said the starlets were all over Kirk Douglas😄
Wow, you dad hangout with Kirk Douglass, it legendary a real movie star
Chris Brimhall Kirk himself served in the Navy.
He is Spartacus.
No! I'm Spartacus.
Last of and legend of the old school. Made it the hard way. Kirk energy is so infectious , It's no wonder he lived 103 . Bless him.
Wish they'd bring back the 70s episodes on Antenna TV. This would be a great episode to watch.
Antenna TV was just added in my area. It's like I'm young again and watching Carson before bedtime.
They are back already. Here on CZcams. I can only suppose that you are nostalgic for antennas.
@@Kermit_T_Frog Nostalgia has little to do with it. @nb2008nc uses an antenna, as I do, to receive free network programs ota. Speaking for myself, I got tired of paying $100+ every month for the crap on cable.
@@captaintrips2980 It was a joke. Perhaps you don't realize that there is an incredible amount of programming like that on CZcams. Some pretty decent old movies, as well.
@@Kermit_T_Frog Hey Kermit, it is a channel on television. You can have cable and still watch it.
Not everyone throws away a functional & large flat screen tv just because it pre-dates having a wifi internet connection.
One of my favourite actors. My man.
4:12 Johnny puts out his cigarette; 7:28 Johnny lights up cigarette. "Those damn cigarettes" he would say near his death from emphysema.
People who smoke always regret it once the cancer stikres.
Been quit more than 10 years and still miss it sometimes. Hate to see the kids who are still starting up. Dumb habit.
@@pallidbustofpallas4679 I finished smoking 30 years ago and if I smell Old Holburn tobacco being smoked i ALMOST GO BACK SMOKING
Emphysema... is there any worse way to die..... So sad. Michael Landon was a 3 pack a day smoker. Pancreatic cancer is sometimes tied to smoking and drinking. Heavy drinker also.
Roberts TV So was Patrick Swayze- same result. I lost both parents to lung cancer from smoking. None of us children and all the grandchildren despise cigarettes ! All want to live longer lives!
Never would have thought at that time that he would live to be 103 years old. He was doing something right, throughout his life, unlike Carson, who smoked like a chimney.
I’d like to watch all of Kirk’s pictures, good or bad, from the first, to the last.
RIP, Kirk!
Watching this clip, I was asking myself 'is that an ashtray on Johnny's desk?' Couldn't remember that they smoked so casually on set then. Times have changed. But I like that classic 70s decor.
Everyone goes on about Spartacus but what about the Vikings, brilliant film.
mickey munkchunk And Odin’s test for unfaithful wives!
So funny you bringing up The Vikings, just last week, two nights before he died, I watched that film again, and it IS brilliant. But during the film I said to myself "Kirk is the only one of the major stars/characters from this movie who's still alive." And sure enough two days later he dies! I shoulda kept my damn mouth shut!
@@zq9m3xh8
It's all your fault! Lol..If I had his fantastic life, 103 wouldn't be long enough.
@@LarryTaint-qn8pd lol. Yeah, I know, how much longer can u go when you're already 103? I think most of those were quality years for him too.
mickey munkchunk He was also great in Lust for Life as Van Gogh.
RIP Kirk...you're one of a kind!
what late night used to be, class, funny, entertaining, i was lucky to watch many Johnny shows, also have a nice autographed picture , RIP all three gents
Kirk was truly an amazing human being. The way he did the wooden leg for Scalawag was actually simpler than I initially thought it was, even though it must have been painful for him to have that one leg bent and kept that way for a long period of time shooting scenes. I don't know if anyone could have imagined after seeing this at the time that Kirk would end up surviving a stroke and actually make a good recovery from it in his older years and be able to continue acting.
The 70s looked like a lot of fun 😊
Classy Gentleman 👍
Terrific American quality to be able to laugh at yourself.
Well said.
Une légende du Cinéma et un être exceptionnel beaucoup de charme . Respect à vous Monsieur Kirk Douglas👏🌹
is it just me but people seemed to be more classy and polished. Kirk is elegant and classy. Johnny was one of the best interviewers i think we will ever see. so smooth, i'm in my 30s and would rather watch this then colbert or jimmy act silly
Joe Massino It was certainly a very different time.
True. You are absolutely right.
He was a gorgeous man. Johnny Carson wasn't bad either.
Johnny Carson treats his guests like personal friends
He was great in"lonely are the brave".🐴🐴🐴
...& Paths Of Glory.
The best double entendre you'll find it here, on the Johnny Carson Show. 😂
No human being can smile like that... Not even Jim Carrey nor Michael Dauglas can do it.. Only him... Legend.
Johnny brings back such wonderful memories
RIP Kirt Douglas
I am Spartacus!
Kirk would be proud to know I am a man who as a boy loved to see Kirk in movies.
1973 !!! Danielovich Demsky 57 (years) 👍
Just unbelievable!! Being 57 in 1973 and dying in 2020!
Kirk yes the legend!
He was so handsome omg
There is only one Johnny Carson. The best of all time. Kirk Douglas, one of the top ten actors of all time and a total class act!! Two Icons talking together and not spoon feeding each other a lot of BS which is the way night time talk show are nowadays!
When not looking at the screen Johnny does sound like Jack Benny.
@ SDSpike nice try LOL Don't think so though. Watch Jack on with Johnny and there is no voice comparisons.
Kirk is always a good interview. He is interesting and always compliments someone else. Not all about him.
Wish they were still here they were clean fun
Kirk always had a leg up on Johnny.
Thank you!
One on my favorite movies The Bad and The Beautiful
this is a real conversation
The good old days .👍🏼
I gave him three stars because of his temper and the way he treated Michael. Michael Was very underappreciated. As well as inspirational. If anything I see why now? But Kirk was an amazing actor. I heard he stood at the John Wayne. And that's why John Wayne changed a little bit. Now that's a Hollywood Story. My condolences when he passed and all the respect to the Douglas family. They're good people.
RIP he had a long life 104 tears old
WOW .KIRK YOUR A GIFTED MAN.. RIP .
Kirk should of run for president,you know what, he would of been voted in,I certainly would of voted for him
He reminds me so much of Michael
Unbelievable ! They're identical
Kirk Douglas (nacido como Issur Danielovitch; Amsterdam, Nueva York, 9 de diciembre de 1916-Beverly Hills, California, 5 de febrero de 2020)[1]fue un actor y productor de cine estadounidense. Entre sus papeles, destacaron su interpretación del pintor Vincent van Gogh en Lust for Life (1956), y su papel protagonista en Espartaco (1960). Por su extensa y reconocida carrera, recibió un Premio Óscar honorífico en 1996. Es padre del actor Michael Douglas.
may he rest in peace
RIP God Bless
One of Kirk’s funniest movies is THE VILLAIN …. An outlaw (Kirk Douglas) eyes a stagecoach and a beautiful woman (Ann-Margret) but is foiled by a handsome stranger in white (Arnold Schwarzenegger).
Initial release: July 27, 1979…..
For some reason this really reminded me of the seinfeld merv griffin episode 😆
My favorite Male actor
Not only was Kirk a terrific actor, he gave so much in philanthropy. And he helped to end McCarthyism in Hollywood by hiring blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo for Spartacus!
Clever Trio!
Can't believe Johnny was in his 40's here.
No way ! He looks 70
RIP Kirk!

Now wonder why he lived until 103 he was always very athletic.

Carson was a few years younger than Kirk. RIP "I am Spartacus"
Johnny was born in 1925 and Kirk in 1916 but they looked about the same age (which is not flattering for Johnny).
@@nadezdadedic-robinson673 Smoking, two cigs in that segment, surely did not help. Johnny died of emphysema. So sad. Cruel way to go.
@@robertstv8045 kirk smoked too

I loved Carson, but that suit......

It was the 70s man! If you were there you've seen it, if you weren't you would never understand 😄.
Seriously though, We had the hippies with flowers power, Tie Dye Clothing, love ins, communes, and all manner of things just be different than the establishment. BTW much of the anti establishment was justified.
Carson suit would have been very common then. Sort of a nod to the anti establishment radicals, without getting down into the weeds with them. It was a very politically charged era at the end of the Vietnam War and the Nixon debacle.....it was an amazing time to grow up in. I'll end with one the generation's most enduring symbols.

Got me by 4 years younger. It was quite ride. Looks like we may be growing old in the same atmosphere. Take care.
@@fxwhare419 The atmosphere sucks. People have become weird.
Kirk always goes well on talk shows. He appears to be the same guy on and off acting. I worked at an Country Club in Palm Springs. Manager of a valet company. Kirk always parked his own car. He wasn't much for people getting in his Mercedes.
Most of the people watching this are older which means they could have some hearing loss. I’m not in that category myself and I’m having an extremely difficult time hearing this. Please increase your volume. Thanks.
Johnny's jacket was made out of a former shower curtain.
Kirk in love - with himself.
Still had 46 years of life left.
I am Spartacus.
I'm Tony Curtis.
Yondah lies da tent of my faddah.
Was a shame he suffered the stroke and lost his old voice still 103 👌🏻
Hi
You can see how he lived to 103. He was 50 here and looked like he was in his 30s.
Even better: Johnny was 48 here, and hè looks like in his 70s. 😂😂
I just got done watching the big trees movie and couldnt find the flaw in it, i guess kirk cant really do any wrong.
Rip spatacus
Having your leg wrapped tight and then shoved into a peg leg has got to be painful after just a few minutes, Kirk wore it out there putting on a nonchalant face way longer then he had to..
I doubt Natalie Wood would agree with all the praise.
This is to Michael Douglas I've been watching your dad since I was a child I'm going to be a hot 62 years of age here pretty soon, no sense your father's death now it's making me think did your father ever know mine Steve Cochran. If you read this send a message I'd like to know.
Smoking was hip back then.
Is Olivia De Haviland the only one left now that's over 100 yrs old?
She is 103 and seven months.
@@nadezdadedic-robinson673 Alas...

Johnny Carson favors George Bush lol
George W.Bush and Kirk Douglas show.
And Kirk came from nothing. Everything he accomplished was self earned. And survived a stroke and helicopter crash!
Great Jewish family. Too bad they weren’t orthodox. Or were they?
They were not practicing until quite recently!
I had to stop watching, because Johnny's coat was so loud, I couldn't hear what was being said.
Both are dead.............lol
If my name was Floyd I'd kill myself.
