So many stars packed into this
Man, Harry Anderson and John Ritter in the same video. My heart is both super thrilled and pained.
It
That's all I'm saying. ❤️
The sad part of this is not so much that Harry is gone, but that his art is fading due to tech. So happy that these moments were captured so he can live on to fascinate and inspire. Smooth Criminal!
Most of Harry's TV spots are available. Look at the Saturday Night Live website, you can find most of his appearances on that show.
Thank you for this awesome video! I remember watching this back in the day, and his antics are still hilarious 30 years later...timeless comedy...thank you Mr. Anderson...you're one of the greats...long live the Gavel Cozy!
R I P Harry you were one of the best and always will be in my book I loved watching you especially as Judge Harry Stone in Night Court
Glad to have found this. I still have my old VHS recording, and it isn't in great shape nowadays. This episode changed my life. I couldn't believe the juggling routine Davidson put on when I saw it. I stopped doing close up magic that moment, and began juggling. For years. Greatest time of my life.
Get it transferred to DVD.
He was such an incredible talent. You're sorely missed. RIP Mr. Anderson.
This is my favorite magic special ever. I was fortunate enough to meet Harry about a year before his passing. Such a nice guy
Thank you for sharing this! I lost my recording from when it originally aired and I’ve been trying to find it online for about 15 years!
Glad to help. I just found my copy recently!
That juggler was amazing - the best I've ever seen! He'd make a great hackey sack partner!
I have not seen this in almost 25 years. There were only 3 things that I remembered from this special:
*The Nickles-to-Dimes trick with the dollar bill
*The trick flying dollar bill
*The monkey ventriloquist puppet and its singing (especially with the burp before the final note.)
Harry Anderson and John Ritter...may they both RIP
I just now found this. Ya know. Him and that carnival would have been a great character in some end of saturday morning show about a group of kids, i dunno. Dealing with outworldly stuff. And Harry just seems to always know stuff. And the evil forces are always able to get conned at that carnival and end up trapped there and become part of its staff. And can end each episode with Harry doing some trick for the viewers. Give some kind of morale quote to be a good person and don't do evil things. And then walk away behind the curtain.
Thank you
His Cups & Balls was perfect. Not too long and easy to follow.
Finally, a decent juggler represents!
That was the most entertaining juggling I've ever seen.
Jaqen H'ghar Yup
So great. I miss HARRY & Co. tremendously...
Did anyone else recognize the young lady from the audience? A very young Marcia Gay Harden. :)
John Theiss I don’t t think so. MGH would’ve been at least 30 when this was filmed.
Not MGH
I think it’s the actress who played Hilary Bauer on Guiding Light.
17:34 Ah yes, I take the blur of reds, my good man.
@27:02 This guy's Juggling Skills is Over 9000!!!!
Marcia, Wow she was really adorable!!! I cant help but wonder where she is in life now.
@@ChadBray not Markie. His assistant.
@@CamaroAmx my mistake
he should’ve went on to do late night like Jay Leno or David Letterman…
I've seen Harry pull this same 'random' audience member from another crowd.
It's called a "plant". Tool of the trade for several. Your point is what?
I have seen her on a TV show, can't place it though. I swear she had a role in a late 80's/early 90's sitcom. I don;t think it is Marcia Gay Harden as someone has suggested. And she is not listed in the IMDB listing for the show, not is it on her IMDB listing.,
@@georgearmonaitis4257 Relax George, character actress. All scripted and rehearsed
@@joeambrose3260 - I know, still want to know who she was. Bugging me because I can't remember the show.
@@georgearmonaitis4257 Will keep researching and let you know if I get any info
It seems like yesterday.id be in my room trying to sleep for school the next morning, my father would be watching night court and he would be laughing so loud. I miss both harry and my pops
Aww 💓 so sweet
We has real magician swag!!
Woman kissing Harry reminds me a bit of girl in Ray Parkers Ghostbusters music video.
Seeing Patrick Warburton (Joe from American Dad) was a blast.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
RIP, Harry Anderson.
It really surprised me that he was the first person of the main cast of Night Court to go.
Before him, Selma and Florence, the first two female bailiffs passed away after their brief stints on the show. They were covered so well by their replacement that unless you saw those first 3 seasons, you wouldn't have known about that and presumed that Roz was there from the beginning.
Truthfully, the Night Court cast wasn't fully in place until Season 4. The court clerk, defense attorney as well as the female bailiff were originally played by different actors.
Now, this past year, Harry's been joined by Charles "Mack" Robinson and Markie Post. Those losses were VERY unexpected, too.
It's a reminder that age and the grim reaper will catch up with all of us but it's sad to see the people who entertained us pass away so abruptly.
The first time I felt this was when Deforest Kelley passed away in 1999. That's when I knew the original era of Star Trek was officially over. When you lose a vital component of the cast, you can't recreate that chemistry even if you recast a part with someone with very good or introduce a new player/character. It's never the same...
Night Court was such a quirky show that was well-written for most of its run -- and it's a shame that it's not as well-remembered. I saw it in reruns constantly on A&E after NBC cancelled the show but it seemed to have faded into oblivion by the end of the 1990s.
Who's the babe at 1:25
Damn, I miss Harry Anderson.
Sadly watching this just after Markie Post died in 2021
Harry never seemed as tall as he was, but the cat was tall!
6'2 right? That is tall lol I'm only 5'1 short girl here lol
The Tick was in this.
Anderson's specials were good but could've done without the canned laughter.
R.I.P. Peter Scolari
Scripted and rehearsed, with respect
I love him, but his slight of hand wasnt that great. I personally saw most of his moves
It's tough getting old. The tricks and gags that worked for an unsuspecting crowd is "old hat" for the youngsters of today. They see it in the performers of today, learn how they are done and then judge the old acts and say things like "...wasn't that great". Do you know what's it like to be the first successful act and then have it copied over and over again until it couldn't make bank anywhere?
@@birddogne666 - With high definition and 40+ inch screens all over the place, it is a lot harder to hide certain things.
True...it was his razor sharp wit that closed the gap.
@@birddogne666 now that the history is being recorded, the problem is only getting worse. It's one of many reasons new comics and performers don't have the same impact.
