- During a 1990 interview with CNN's Larry King, comedian Andrew "Dice" Clay talks about his new movie, finding stardom and fires back at critics who say his act is too vulgar.
When you could smoke on air.
You actually couldn’t but he did anyway.
Life was so much better then.
Cause he needed the monnneeeeyyy! Oooooohhhhhhhh!!!!
As a teen I loved his stand-up, still do. People take everything so seriously. Political correctness is killing comedy and it’s sad.
I barely found out about dice clay about year ago and tbh his stand up is probably one of the best I’ve ever seen.
We are all The Diceman one time or another. That's what makes him funny. He's us and we're him.
He's funny period. No apologies, comedy is unapologetic, and it should be.
@@mikebarrett3982 He apologized.
I was Dice today! OH!!!
Not us Black folks. People seem to forget we have our own icons. People seem to only consider us when it comes to being annoyed or in disagreement about something.
It was satire. Absolutely noone is supposed to actually be like that.
Dice’s satirical act of an Italian goomba dealing with feminism in the late 80s threatened the agenda - which is why they had to attack him. They never figured out Dice was making fun of the Italian goomba just as much as he was feminism.
Right, but he’s a Jew, and it’s offensive to Italians. Honestly his narcissism got him booted. He should have separated the act from the man. He didn’t. He does here some spots but then he goes back to it
@@WonkaBiz Italians didn’t suffer as much as blacks
@@WonkaBiz Comedy is always taking a shot at somebody, that's the problem with the world today. Everyone is offended so there is no comedy.
@@Entropy106 So? It's not a contest and blacks are doing much better in white countries then they are in African countries, why's that?
@@WonkaBiz don’t be a pussy. You are the issue w the world today. Sensitive losers.
The fake Stallone at 17:25 is priceless!!! 😂
I doubt it was really him.
@@SniffHeinkel nothing gets by you.
Trump also told King to his face live on his show to back up a bit cause he had terrible breath. Must've been a well known thing about Larry if everyone was knocking him for it.
Shit made me laugh my ass off.
I don’t know. We need to contact Sly and ask him if that was him.
@@BradyIsAfagInHeat lmao
This guy is an amazing legend. Dice 🎲 broke so many barriers in television it will make your head spin infinitely.
We w
Damn, he is so handsome and good-looking here - Dice is okay too...
Larry king and his boyish good looks 🤣😂🤣
Wow, the first time (and probably last) I'll ever hit the like button on a CNN video.
Aw, sad about dRump, you Trumpet?
I like both the dice man character and and Andrew's real personality.
He at some point just became dice basically although he can play other acting roles. But I think the real Andrew is gone, I haven’t seen him in decades
What do you mean about that last part?
Dice is a Legend. Respect his comedy or not, he's done a lot of good for a lot of people. Ya'll need to get the Redwood tree out of your asses.
Didn't realize back then how intelligent and insightful he is. The Dice character put a label on him similar to Rocky and the actual high IQ Sly.
Diceman was/is a great character because Andrew is a fine character actor. If the things that came out of his mouth on stage were his personal views, I could see people being upset. But he is playing a character.
I saw him many years ago at Pips in Sheepshead Bay. This was before he was a household name. And we spoke with him after the show. He was congenial, he was intelligent, soft spoken, and a very nice guy. People just get too uptight because they’re ignorant and he’s so good at what he does that they buy it. But that’s not Andrew Silverstein. It’s the Diceman that you’re buying. Andrew is simply an entertainer/comedian.
Ford Fairlane was one of the best great 'bad' flicks.
I still sing Bootie Time once in a while
...cross the USAaaaa!
Nah, it's just a good flick. It's an entertaining, funny, well-made '90's action comedy movie.
It’s one of the most underrated films of all time. It is as iconic, if not more, than Rocky and Gone With the Wind. It’s one of the most action-packed action films of all time, only rivaled by juggernaut films like Double Dragon or New Jack City. I’m amazed it was even released theatrically. The levels of intense, adrenaline-filled action are unmatched in any modern film, save for 3:10 to Yuma or Double Jeopardy. A truly timeless experience.
Why doesn’t CNN take calls anymore?? I’d love to call in to Rachael Maddow 😂😂😂😂😂
Why? So you can cry about the orange dictator, Trump?
OMG THE SYLVESTER STALLONE IMPOSTOR AT 17:28 LOL
Damn Larry was pressing him and he didn't lose words!
Pre "Internet of Things" : DiceMan, Cigarettes, Call-in shows, and Accents from All Over the Country.
He is holding back so hard
Dice did'nt and doesn't have to apologize for anything.
Amazing he went from that bomb Ford Fairlaine to being in a Woody Allen movie, and A Star is Born, both were Oscar nominated and he received great critical reviews.
Well, there was a 20-year gap in between lol
"Everything is getting banned" YOU AINT SEEN TODAY'S SJW'S YET DICE!
Oh fuck, right!? I personally never cared for him (I was too young to even know of him when he was big but have seen vignettes as I got older) but I just didn't tune in. That's how I handle things I do not like or think "too vulgar, over the top, what have you," and its honestly the best response a person can give if they do not care for something/someone. I wouldn't nor do I expect everyone to share my views however or like/not like what I do. To each their own. But yah, now boy I don't even know how a comedy club would be able to even book his act now. I get the feeling club owners would get to skiddish to even have him on.
Things have been getting banned for decades. Comedians used to be arrested and put in jail for words. Yeah today is overly sensitive, but you have to admit, you could say a lot more stuff on TV today than you could 10-20 years ago. TV and films are much less restrictive than they were in 1990. Just don't post any racist crap on Twitter...
Nothing like seeing a jew play an Italian.
Mobsters till this day still think James Caan is a Guido.
They play each other really well. Their accent is pretty similar.
He plays a greaser.
That Stallone fake call at the end was hilarious 😊
17:56 is the hardest I’ve ever laughed at any CZcams video ever 😂😂😂
That was actually me. I am happy I can bring laughter into the world.
The Dice rules. I am lucky enough to own a DVD of Ford Fairlane and I pull it out of mothballs every once in a while and introduce others to the fabulous Diceman.
Awesome movie!
Larry's comment about the MTV ban being stupid has aged like a fine wine.
It's called freedom of speech. Alot of comics exercise their right to free speech. It works...
Fun fact, he started around the same time as Jerry Seinfeld at the same clubs but as we know Jerry is a billionaire while Dice plays dive bars in the Midwest 😂😂🤣
But dice is funnier
seinfeild was a hit! larry david wrote it! doesnt matter who is richer ! what matters is the authenticity ! fun fact, your a bitch
@@MrGLindale your and you’re
You’re is a contraction of the phrase you are. Your is a possessive adjective used to show ownership.
Fun fact YOU’RE not too bright 😉
@@andreasp4138 maybe when he first started, but now his shit is old and tired.
Billionaire from television. Dice sold out arenas.
His impression of Elvis was great
Andrew Dice would have made a great Punisher
I got a leather jacket and it changes you I'm watching this because the jacket projected dice in my head
Joe Joe really?? Please explain why and how it changes you????
Eddie didn't come out in character or leather? Really?
The best! One of my all time favorite comedians!
Both guys are jewish by the way.
That's just a religion. They're part of the same human race as everyone else.
Your point?
I love the way these callers give him advice.
Dice is a very smart guy and really he makes total sense in this interview, and proves his intelligence.
Matt .Green there are no dumb comedians
Bradley Brown amy schumer
@James Cricket so?
@James Cricket tell me which comedians you think are not intelligent.
@James Cricket Yawn.
Damn he was dead on about Letterman. Proof is that he cut out Bill Hicks spot, but later after he died had his mom on and showed the peice, which is good I guess but Dice was right about that.
That was a great Stallone.
It's looks strange with them being so close to each other. There faces are like two feet apart.
Jonathan c that's Larry's fault. I think that was his thing,leaning in.
tss tss maybe they gonna fuckin kiss or sumthin
I remember when this aired. I tried to call just to show my support but couldn't get through. I could never understand why he got hammered by people for his "vulgarity " when Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, and most black comedians were doing the same type of act and nobody said anything. Probably felt threatened by him.
Sorry, but those guys got the criticism too, and it was bullshit for any of them to be criticized.
not to split hairs, but it wasn't just black comedians doing similar vulgarities in comedy, Rodney Dangerfield did similar. just not to the same extent.
George Carlin did it in a more critique like manner of how stupid society was/is growing.
even Robin Williams pulled out a few racy and vulgar jokes that made seasoned comics when he was starting out go "what the hell drugs am i not getting?"
Dice was just the one who youths flocked to because he wasn't this old dude, he was loud, colorful, was into the same musics they were, and he was basically unfiltered masculinity who took no shit from anyone.
and women loved him because there was no illusions, yeah he was a vulgar pig, very little was left to imagine and you knew where you stood.
hell i was a kid at the height of his fam in the 80's-90's. now did i find his jokes funny, yeah, did i emulate him, no, frankly i more or less felt kinship with the goonies, the monster squad and whatnot because they were kids like me, not a perverse Elvis clone, which i thought he was, but i still laughed at his jokes.... pretty much why i laugh at how easily offended people are now days and ponder if someone let young dice loose on this society, what shit storms would he stirr up, it'd be funny is all i know
It's weird how you don't really see stand up comedians in gimmick anymore. Back in the 80s there were so many of them, and the general public had a total blurred line when it came to the character and the person behind the character
When I was in college back in the 90s, I had a professor mentioned he saw Clay in a live stand up act. He said watching his act will burn your hair off. I watched him on you tube. He was right.
Rodney Dangerfield name always pops up with so many comedians. He really got alot of comedians careers going. What a legendary man, and he's still getting no respect lol.... R.I.P. Rodney Dangerfield, you were unique in every way.
And he still gets no Respect! I tell you..
he kind of looks like a muscular john stewart
With Elvis hair.
Wow. I cannot unsee that now😂😅🤣
Brooklyn loves Dice. And Dice loves both Brook and Lyn.
HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY ANDREW DICE CLAY !!!
Andrew is gorgeous here
Dice would never appear on Pee NN now!
Even he's too dignified.
Dice made millions of dollars from performing toilet humour.
He did NOT have the talent to write and perform intelligent comedy like the amazing George Carlin.
But Dice had amazing delivery and stage presence.
But he was the worst joke writer ever.
He simply relied on the low intelligence of most of the American public who will laugh at anything.
George Carlin actually elevated the level of intelligence of ANY audience with his
stand up shows.
Dice formula was to work with the various audiences at their own low level of intelligence.
He's more of an actor.
@@okigi-wo5zm agreed
CNN sucks but this video is actually good. Its a look behind the curtain of the Diceman. Oh!
Amazing still in 2022!!!!
Little do these women know, Dice is a hopeless romantic that just wants to make people laugh 24/7. It's sad how people treated him but i guess he should expect it
“If I was running for president and saying those things, that would be too much”. Like Donald Trump…? 😂
I always liked Dice and the movie Ford Fairlane. I never knew the film bombed! But I always believed that he was putting on an "act", no matter how offensive he was. He was funny!
True pioneer. So much love.
17:02 a little Rodney Dangerfield slipped out 😂
“She told me to come over, nobody’s home. I went over and nobody was home!”
I like how he chain smokes for the entire interview without inhaling. This must have been before he managed the gym.
this entire interview is just proof tv used to be way better decades ago
Lol, seeing Larry laughing at Dices jokes-classic. 😅
Crazy he was the biggest thing in comedy history
Very good interview..Dice was full of insights ...and an honesty you dont really see any more in today's media
Great interview
I think Dice was taken too seriously. I came out gay right around the time Dice man commeth was on HBO. I laughed my ass off, even at the gay jokes, because i didn't take it seriously.
that movies so good wish it could have spawned a trilogy
Larry king should’ve asked Andrew dice clay about running a gym.
(15.44) "the next movie im doing is The Gossip Columnist for Fox"....what ever happend to that one?
andrew dice clay was ''crazy larry'' on different strokes
So he was 33 yrs old here??? 🤔🤔...
He is mega talented and real as they come.
The adventures of Ford Fairlane was one I grew up on one of my mom's favs every time I think of her. Andrew is awesome. She loved loved comics. Probably why I do.
I’ve never seen this, Larry Ming was the man back then. What a tame interview. As compared to his other CNN interview 😂
WE LOVE YOU DICE MAN ! Even us old fucks !
Unusual to hear more than 3 sentences without a curse word from this guy. lol
Back when CNN could make money......
Lol, always loved Dice....just cares about laughing and having great time.
Hey butt slammers! Wake up and smell the toast eh?!!
Andrew Dice Clay
back in the day
had it his way
with jokes risque
but as of today
with all in dismay
to find that he's gay
is Andrew Dice Clay
Kinison was better.
Nope. In fact he was jealous of Dice' success.
"If I was running for president and said those things it would be a different ballgame" would it?
"I'm a comedian"
No Dice, you're the BEST!
I always enjoyed the Letterman show but Dices comments about not letting new comic talent through was probably correct. Thinking Bill Hicks in particular
Smoking cigarettes while telling gay jokes and making fun of women would get dice prison time today.
Cant believe I'm leaving a thumbs up on CNNs channel, but the diceman has been making me laugh for years and years. It's pretty sad that even back then, people were getting butthurt about comedy. You couldn't get away with his act these days, it's depressing seeing these brilliant comics constantly being censored and cancelled.
DICE!!!! Allways love ya! Brilliant and shocking!!! This is what we NEED America!!!!
He speaks really well
WOW I just found this, I was fake Stallone at 17:24. Far from my best Stallone voice but it worked. I also fooled Mike Tyson on the radio when I worked at KROQ in Los Angeles in 1987. My name is Mark Silverman.
Dice has got to be the most polarizing person. On the one hand, I understand his critics. His racist comedy is very much an enabler to racists. Watch when they cheer him almost like rabid dogs when he makes his racist jokes. On the flip side, racist or not, appropriate or not, they’re funny. AND… it’s a character. It’s not who he really is. As a Jew, my guess is, he’s not very extreme to the right. And he claims he’s not. I believe him. It’s an act. It’s a character. He’s playing a dickhead. He even says in this interview that he would neither like nor hang out with someone like his character. I believe that. I’d bet my bottom dollar that if I met this guy in person, I’d like him (and I’m a socially liberal gay guy). Soooooo… I’m not sure what to think of him. I’d bet he’s a good guy in person. And he’s funny as hell. But I do think that his character is an enabler of racist a**holes. It is just an act. But just look at the reaction he gets. If you don’t think he’s enabling those attitudes and promoting them, you’re deluding yourself. And Andrew should realize this, since I think he’s an incredibly intelligent person. Therein, he doesn’t escape criticism. So, I just don’t know what to think of him. He’s a smart guy and I’d bet my life on it that he’s a good and decent guy. But I don’t think you can escape the fact that he enables his audience. Just watch their reaction. BUT… how much do we “hate” him for that when he’s just playing a character. He’s giving these clowns what they want. Can you blame him? It’s such a tough call. Andrew is a good and decent guy. But his shtick DOES promote negativity. Just look at his last line in the Rodney Dangerfield episode. The crowd screams with delight. I’m an expat. I live in a foreign country. I’d like to learn the language, but I struggle to do so. So, should I be thrown out because I don’t know the language? How horrible is that?!?!?!?! I’m actually here HELPING the people of my host country. And I should be thrown out because I haven’t learned the language? Absurd, horrible and downright evil. BUT… Andrew doesn’t really believe this. He knows it’s stupid. It’s just a “Dice Man shtick”. BUT… his audience eats it up and is enabled and encouraged by it. So… hmmmmmm… is this really okay. I actually don’t know the answer. It’s a tough call. I’m actually in favor of comedians pushing the envelope. For example, his joke about blindfolding Asians with dental floss is just plain funny. There’s no two ways about it. Look, many in Asia actually undergo plastic surgery to have their eyes be more like Westerners. I find it appalling. There is nothing wrong with how they look. But the point is, even they know that their eyes are, biologically, different. So, why is this a “racist” joke, when you’re just addressing a fact that even the butt of the joke admits is true. Thousands of Asians annually have cosmetic surgery to either get Western eyes or noses. Point is, it’s a REAL biological, genetic difference. So… joking about it is NOT inherently racist. Racism is applying stereotypes that are NOT necessarily true. Dice is talking about a genetic truth, not a stereotype. BUT… he is also doing so in a rude way. Sooooo… is it racist? Maybe. In my own judgement, yes, it is. But there is SOME room for debate. And that’s where this whole thing gets complicated. Is mocking a racial truism racist? On the one hand, it’s true. On the other hand, you’re mocking it and making fun of it. Then… further to that… even if you think it’s inappropriate, does it become acceptable if it’s done by someone intentionally playing a jerk-off character while mocking it? That’s a tough call. So…
I’ll say what I said at the outset. He’s so polarizing. And such a difficult person to put in a box or pass judgement on.
His comedy might be satirical/ironic but his dumbass racist/misogynistic fans don't interpret it that way, that much is obvious. He's aware of that too. So yeah, he's trash
Yikes you wrote an entire summary😂
Cnn is trolling the trolls.
This is just like the "controversy" about Rogan. Real people dug Dice and understood it was just comedy but the intelligentsia makes like it's a moral outrage. Rogan entertains ideas and people from the fringes and he's hugely popular because of it.
Rogan is a hack
I saw Ford Fairlane at the theater when I was in my teens. I was disappointed. I thought he was great in A Star Is Born.
4:00 so true. man is way more intelligent than his character lets on!!
what a world, nobody cares would you say or do, until you have money and fame, then everyone gets jealous and tries to ruin you and everything you built. Actors/ Actresses/ Politicians/ Comedians/ Rock stars.
He played a character so long that he forgot it was a character. Andrew Clay Silverstein.. the Jewish man who thinks he's an Italian tough guy.
A greaser. Any ethnicity can be a greaser.
“Little Miss Muffet…”
Love him
At 17:27, someone called in claiming to be Sylvester Stallone, was it? Larry said, "No, but that guy does a great Stallone." Mr. Stallone, was it you and has any body ask you about this?
Larry assumed it was't him because he said something about him having stinky breathe. But maybe Sly really thinks Larry has stinky breath and that really was him.
I'm trying to google to find out but haven't found anything yet. Larry asked where was the last place sly ssaw him and he said, "you came in and you sat next to me with your bad breath and... (couldn't' make out word)" and then larry says, 'NOPE!' and hangs up.
Great guy! It's a bummer to be a breakthrough artist. Most likely you'll end up being the fall guy for haters.
Ive always liked Dice, and always knew that it was just an act and his caricature wasn't the real him...even all the things where he would be rude and kicked off a show, all show, all an act, and he was great at it...just a normal talented guy, that's the great Andrew Dice Clay! nuff said!
Still one of my favorite movies ever. Badda bing!
