I was an extra in his movie, “Silence.” He walked by me and nodded to me. I should have said good morning, but I just smiled. I got to wear a green velvet low cut dress that was made in Rome. It was really, really interesting and I made good friends, too. Thanks, Marty! 🙏💖🙏
Wow......you're as good a storyteller as Marty 🧔🏻 lol......that story was awesome.....I did'nt want it to end....just lie to me,and keep the story going...lol..I don't care if it's true or not..lol....❤️
What are youse blind ? Of course he's young in this clip. MARONE. Did you know Martin's parent's were also in his movie Goodfellas? It's true and hard to miss as Martin Scorsese looks a lot like his parents perhaps more like his dad.
So fascinating to see Scorsese say his favorite genres are the Western, Horror, and Sci-Fi which are interestingly still decades later, the only three genres of film that Scorsese has had little to no experience in. Almost like he dare not touch what he adores most.
One could argue that Cape Fear and Shutter Island have some horror elements to them, but they're tangential at best. I would love to see Scorsese make a horror or sci-fi (or maybe horror-sci-fi) movie, since those are my favorite genres as well and I have no idea how his take on those would look like - although I don't have a doubt in my mind that it would be great.
I like how these older interviews have more in depth and interesting conversations now the conversations are so contrived and superficial on talk shows.
Somewhere in the 90s, Martin Scorsese transformed from a guy you wouldn't want to make eye contact with at a bar to the sweet old man across the street.
Martin is probably the mainstream american director who knows the best about film in general. He deeply loves films from all around the world from different eras of cinema, including recent ones.
Ted Kier I’m a lifelong New Yorker (granted, from Queens, rather than the speedier Manhattan) but even with my extensive experience with Manhattanites I’ve rarely seen anyone as jittery as Scorsese is here. I was wondering too about the cocaine possibility...
Sort of like Al Pacino back then, the two would just start rambling and it starts going nowhere and then especially Scorsese realizes that millions of people are watching him and he gets very self conscious and has nowhere to go. De Niro back then avoided interviews ,period. They got more comfortable with interviews as they got older.
He wasn't revered as a film god like he was after Goodfellas. Suddenly after that movie audiences were more excited to see him and he was more relaxed and animated. Also, Dave is doing a lacklustre interview here.
He admired Marty, but he was pretty blunt and curt with guests in the 80s, and I loved him for it. He was the antecedent to Johnny Carson, Mike Douglas, and Merv Griffin who were at this time always reminiscing about the "good 'ol days" with their guests. LOL
@@Fan_Made_Videos Sounds more like you meant 'antidote.' 'Antecedent' means someone or something that came before. Dave definitely didn't come before Carson, Douglas, and Griffin, but he did have a contrasting style.
It’s amazing how much knowledge this guy knows about Who directed what movie, who starred in it, where it originated from, even the movies before his time.
Love that he was 'going to work' right after the show taped around 5 p.m. He had to have been a total night owl, as are so many creative artists and writers.
@@Floral_Green I'm half Italian....and I had a brother, he wasn't and neither were my uncle's on that side. I always thought the Irish were the hairy bears!! Scorsese must be Sicilian!! 😬
Martin was a well or sharp dressed man he makes native Manhattan born New Yorkers look great... great clip of a fellow Goomba and Native born New Yorker. Grazie and Buone Vacanze Ciao.
Only Scorsese could have gotten such a great performance from Jerry Lewis in The King of Comedy. It was the best thing Lewis did in his career and it wasn't really for laughs.
Yes, Jerry did a helluva good job. Surprised he wasn't nominated for best supporting actor. Or was he. De Niro was up for best actor, he was freaking amazing, as per usual. King of Comedy rocks.
Not sure what I like more: When Letterman had people on that he truly admired and respected, or when he had people on that you could feel a combination of disdain and disinterest.
At the end of the interview, Scorsese said the film 'The King of Comedy' wasn't due to be released until Christmas of that year. In fact, it was even later when it actually was released--February 18, 1983, i.e., one year to the day after this interview aired. Most curious.
TriBeCa wasn’t a well known section of Manhattan. Only a few years later did it start getting more attention. Scorsese & De Niro helped put it on the map by doing a lot of business there.
I've seen quite a few early Letterman interviews, but this is the first one I've seen with those bumper ads intact. Never knew about those. I'd only ever seen them on Adult Swim. Not sure how much (if any) of that was Dave's doing versus the writing staff, but it reinforces my opinion that he woulda been my go-to late night guy. I was born too late for Carson, and I never cared much for Leno. But from the get go Dave had a killer show and was interviewing artists like Scorsese, Zappa, Beefheart, Hunter Thompson, Carole King, etc. And that's just 1982. Again, I don't know how many of those were his personal requests (I'm recalling episodes of the Larry Sanders Show where he's just scrambling at the last minute to find anyone in town to fill the slot), but nevertheless it's always an amusing interaction, and he deserves some credit for that... In my opinion, Dave's only rival in the late night pantheon is Conan... who I believe was his immediate successor on this show... and also had great guests and a great writing staff... which in no way diminishes his own comedic talents (his previous gig was writing for The Simpsons during the show's undisputed golden age) and the fact that he emerged from virtual anonymity to become a comedy legend in his own right... But it all started here with Dave, at least as far as I'm concerned... On a final note, Scorsese always seems to talk fast but he's definitely on coke here... Then again, who wasn't in 1982... And his work always spoke for itself... Hands down the best and most consistent filmography of the last 50 years... His work ethic and encyclopedic knowledge of film history alone are worthy of admiration, but to just consistently put out a great movie every year or two since the fucking 70's... He's like the Beatles of directors at this point... but I digress...
He nearly quit the business after The King of Comedy tanked. They pulled the plug on Last Temptation of Christ and he was in a really depressed state. Then he was sent the script for After Hours (originally called Lies) and decided to make it but had to do it cheap and quick. He did and the rest is history
I think The Color of Money is what made Last Temptation of Christ possible. That movie made much more money than After Hours, even though I prefer After Hours over The Color of Money.
Dave said here that Tony Clifton will be joining the show later on. I would have loved to see Scorsese and Tony Clifton interacting with one another on the stage. That would have been great! btw, I read someone where that Andy Kaufman was to play Rupert Pupkin in "The King of Comedy" when Bob Fosse was attached to the project - as great as De Niro was in the film, Andy would have been brilliant in that role! I think Andy & Tony Clifton would understand who is Rupert Pupkin.
He looks so different with a beard. It’s such a shame that King of Comedy didn’t make money. I think it’s probably one of his best films, a striking satire on celebrity culture.
I was 12 and feel the same. I don't think things were better. I think I was still so full of hope and a dreamer. I get that part of me kicked around now, at 47. The parts they kick around are the ones they don't have the courage to be around. Take Care.
I love watching "King OF Comedy". Saw it several times. As for Jerry, I don't think he had to ' act ' in alot of it! I think that was "him", I just bet he could be a real a-hole. ALTHOUGH, I do like him in his goofy early movies!! He was funny.
I remember watching this first run and thinking "dang this guy is sure nervous". Sort of like Al Pacino, they both just start rambling and it starts going nowhere and then especially Scorcese realizes that millions of people are watching him and he gets very self concious and has no where to go. I think he wants to say something profound or something that sounds profound, but doesn't quite achieve it. Poor guy. He got more comfortable with interviews as he got older.
I was an extra in his movie, “Silence.” He walked by me and nodded to me. I should have said good morning, but I just smiled. I got to wear a green velvet low cut dress that was made in Rome. It was really, really interesting and I made good friends, too. Thanks, Marty! 🙏💖🙏

He looks like a young Martin Scorsese
He was 39
I know he should cast as Martin in a documentary, he would be perfect for the age nowadays
What are youse blind ? Of course he's young in this clip. MARONE. Did you know Martin's parent's were also in his movie Goodfellas? It's true and hard to miss as Martin Scorsese looks a lot like his parents perhaps more like his dad.
You must be The King of Comedy
Thinks too!
Think about this: he was 8 years away from making Goodfellas, and 13 years from making Casino!
This man's taste and potential never ages.
And was 28 years away from making Shutter Island.
it's aged pretty badly.
@@gohithsrivatsa4746 and 37 years from The Irishman

Marty wasn't used to interviews like this but he's still his honest self, I love it.
Scorsese looked like a very different person back in the day
Drugs
One name : Charlie Manson
Actually he looks exactly the same, just younger, lol
I don’t think so, he just looks younger and with dark hair
Yh he looked like Scorsese
Somewhere in the 90s, Martin Scorsese transformed from a guy you wouldn't want to make eye contact with at a bar to the sweet old man across the street.
Do you know what a .45 Magnum will do to a woman's pussy? Huh? That you should see!
Seriously. I think he was seriously coked up here.
In his 91 letterman interview he seems sweet. Bh 1990 he was great
He looks like he paints houses
Does his own carpentry too
He also makes pasta sauce by slicing the garlic thinly with a razor blade.
And he makes movies too😉
I had 2 put marty into this thing, otherwise hed've never let it happen, but its gonna happen, one way or another...
They wouldn't dare.
Martin is probably the mainstream american director who knows the best about film in general. He deeply loves films from all around the world from different eras of cinema, including recent ones.
Nice to see Marty so "relaxed".
Seriously, though. He's as jittery as a bird.
teppolundgren quaaludes 😂
he's a New Yorker. that's how they are. he was so natural in cameo scene in Taxi Driver. where he rages against women and black men.
Tom B Nope. Cocaine was Marty's drug of choice.
Scorsese has always been that way, drugs, or no drugs.
Ted Kier I’m a lifelong New Yorker (granted, from Queens, rather than the speedier Manhattan) but even with my extensive experience with Manhattanites I’ve rarely seen anyone as jittery as Scorsese is here. I was wondering too about the cocaine possibility...
King of Comedy was the Film that caught me about Scorsese. It was shown on HBO the summer of 1984. When I first had Cable in our neighborhood.
Good old days. Audiences not laughing at everything they say like of today's.
*sigh :/ the masses are definitely dumber
True true true
I love that he mentioned Cronenberg favorably. Scanners just came out on Criterion. Videodrome is great.
Shaun Pearson "Long live the new flesh".
When he mentioned Cronenberg, I was wondering if he was going to mention 'Scanners,' which he did. I think that was a 1981 release.
Don't know why but letterman always looked old
What? He did not...he looked like a kid! You should see him now, if you want to see 'old'! damn. You're strange.
@James Austin He off the sauce now, being he is retired? 😄
he was in De Niro mode back then. he's definitely more articulate now.
Sort of like Al Pacino back then, the two would just start rambling and it starts going nowhere and then especially Scorsese realizes that millions of people are watching him and he gets very self conscious and has nowhere to go. De Niro back then avoided interviews ,period.

Yes, he is so different now
it's called cocaine

This guy is a straight up Genius! Talk about a man who can captivate an audience!
Martin’s pretty cool too!
Dave was a lot more humble here
He admired Marty, but he was pretty blunt and curt with guests in the 80s, and I loved him for it. He was the antecedent to Johnny Carson, Mike Douglas, and Merv Griffin who were at this time always reminiscing about the "good 'ol days" with their guests. LOL

It’s amazing how much knowledge this guy knows about Who directed what movie, who starred in it, where it originated from, even the movies before his time.
Marty makes me proud to be a New Yorker
Wow this CGI de-aging is no joke!
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Scorsese was actually a good looking man. Even at 78 he's still cute.
strongly agree.
This would have been from the first month or two of 'Late Night.' Thanks for uploading.
From the first month. LN debuted on February 1.
Love that he was 'going to work' right after the show taped around 5 p.m. He had to have been a total night owl, as are so many creative artists and writers.
This was when he was half the age he is now
he was so cute back then!!! what a genius filmmaker nice to see this part of him!
Marty looks handsome here. Also, young and not as extroverted as he appears now, at least publicly.
Wow, he was a handsome guy when he was younger.
is Jake Johnson his secret son?
He's really hairy. If you like hairy.
Ruby That’s just how we Italians are. Plenty of manly fuzz.

Wow, Letterman was in all the decades. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him also in the 30s.
He and Paul Shaffer used to joke that they'd been on the air since 'the late '50s.'
Dave started his short-lived daytime talk show in 1980 and he started his late night talk show in early 1982.
Wonderful! Thanks a lot for sharing! Now I'll have to watch all the horror movies he mentioned! :-(

Only Scorsese could have gotten such a great performance from Jerry Lewis in The King of Comedy. It was the best thing Lewis did in his career and it wasn't really for laughs.
Lewis was always a terrific performer.
Lewis is also pretty good in the Peter Chelsom film : “Funny Bones”.
Yes, Jerry did a helluva good job. Surprised he wasn't nominated for best supporting actor. Or was he. De Niro was up for best actor, he was freaking amazing, as per usual. King of Comedy rocks.
As Scorsese says in this interview, the film is 'humorous, but it's not really a comedy.' Lending some irony to the title.
He got Lewis to play himself.
Not sure what I like more: When Letterman had people on that he truly admired and respected, or when he had people on that you could feel a combination of disdain and disinterest.
Here after the Irishman..wow how accomplished he already was before even making some of the best films we know today.

That’s here - czcams.com/video/Kg0vKCuAWTQ/video.html
Crazy I'm a month old when this aired.
I was not even born
I was four years old.
Scorsese and Letterman in Toronto at the same time? Wow!
The fact that Scorsese had to justify after The Raging Bull shows how unfair/ cruel/impartial Hollywood used to be.
TriBeCa wasn’t a well known section of Manhattan. Only a few years later did it start getting more attention. Scorsese & De Niro helped put it on the map by doing a lot of business there.
I'm pretty sure I was a room like that in Toronto in 2012.
did the live studio audience get up and leave? why r they so quiet
I do believe watching martin here, that he,s highly strung.
You could almost see Joe Columbo's strings moving Pinocchio's limbs.
Hes just like the squirrelly guy in the back of deniros taxi

+Raul Luevano He was also battling a coke addiction during this time.
***** If you see him in interviews today, he is a lot more comfortable.
Actually he was finished with his cocaine abuse before Raging Bull. De Niro begged him to do the movie while Marty was in the hospital.
Rockfish Clearly, you're wrong. Marty was very much on the powder here.
He seems like he's gotten more comfortable in his own skin as he's gotten older.
He was daddy. :)
I think the date is wrong. This has to be 1983, not 1982. The King of Comedy was released on Feb 18, 1983.
The date is correct.
Very curious.
Scorsese's almost having a one-to-one conversation with the host, while the audience is a virtual fly on the wall.
3:27 Back when he needed the on-screen title of his name to be recognized.
All guests in LN’s first year were chyroned, regardless of their fame.
You see him today & U KNOW!!!
Leo was just 8......awwwwww
I'm gonna tell my kids that this is Colin Farrell.

Now I understand why de Niro chose Tribeca as the place to start the film festival....Scorsese had everything already set up there beforehand.
8:40 why is Gandhi in the background 😂
I remember watching this first run and thinking "dang this guy is sure nervous". Sort of like Al Pacino, they both just start rambling and it starts going nowhere and then especially Scorcese realizes that millions of people are watching him and he gets very self concious and has no where to go.

looks like de niro plays as martin scorsese
Let me clear something up. When he says "Horror films".. he's not talking about the type of shitty horror films that come out now.
There are plenty of good modern horror films and btw, how do you know what he thinks of today's horror films? You DON'T.
