- Here's a very rare interview with William Katt on Good Morning America from December of 1981. This was during TGAH's 2nd season, and one must wonder what Katt thought when GMA host David Hartman intros him as "Jim Katt". I removed the audio from the flying scenes of the clip, "Believe it or Not" is playing over the shots and this will get a copyright violation if it's heard.

I grew up watching The Greatest American Hero as a young kid in the early 1980s.
Loved this Show as a Kid…….❤❤❤❤❤❤
It might've been hard work for him, but hopefully by now, he realizes IT ROCKED! IMO it had all the elements and potential of a 5-10 Season show! Bill Katt is also a Rockin Musician!
Sheesh, the interviewer really put Bill through the gauntlet. Nearly every question had a negative spin. Bill handled it gracefully. The show had some truly timeless and classic episodes. The charisma between the trio was genuine and shined through. Love Greatest American Hero!

For sure the chemistry of the cast is a big part of what makes the series so good. I stayed home from school that morning to record the interview and was so disappointed in David Hartman. Katt was concerned about the way ABC promoted the series, so I'm not surprised that question was asked but overall the whole thing comes across like Hartman wasn't prepared. Thanks for watching!
I love him.
F yeah greatest american hero 👏I love this thank you
I absolutely love that theme song to that TV show.
As a kid, it was all the superhero stuff I was into. Watching again as an adult I appreciate everything else that was going on. I think It was one of those shows that dads could enjoy with their children. Bill was also great in 'House'.
William Katt was my biggest crush
This was cool! Thank you for posting!!
As the crown jewel william is a brillant actor carrie my all time favorite is clsssic horror hands down !!
This is a great find, thank you. I think Bill handled the interview very well considering David Hartmans condescending attitude. Didn’t realize he could be such a jerk.
You are welcome, glad you liked it. I agree, I think he handled the interview very well.
Sally N, David Hartman was well known for his condescending attitude and uppity personality. I loved GMA back in the day so I just put up with him. 😂😂
If DC can place him with Superman, the series can do the same thing…
Happy Belated Birthday Debbie😊
What a depressing interview! Katt doesn't seem overly enthused to say the least. The interviewer is so serious and melancholy. You would think he was interviewing Katt about one of his parents dying. How odd this is, not what I would have expected at all. This couldn't have helped the show.
I've read a couple of Katt interviews that were not long before TGAH, and he said many times he was misquoted or an interview didn't go very well for one reason or another and he was always reluctant to agree to do one. Seems that luck continued with GMA and Hartman introducing him as Jim Katt. On the other side of the coin, I've heard Katt now say he was a bit too serious back then and in some cases needed to lighten up. Maybe a combo of both in this case.
@@tgaharchives1981 yes. I could see that. Katt wanted to be taken seriously while the interviewer treated him like a circus monkey.
@@differencemaker242 I have a print ad for a morning show called AM Los Angeles on KABC from March or April of 1982. Katt was a guest, and I would love to know if that went any better than the GMA appearance.
@@tgaharchives1981 I hope it did. Could it be worse? I suppose it could but not much.
3.32 the aliens want their space suit back and can be heard in the background.
If I had a real super suit with actual powers I would wear it with zero issues. Once being seen wearing my suit with actual super powers the jeers and any heckling would vanish over night and you would be loved and even worshipped.
Great
David would make a dead man nervous
A memorable show.
The song is what made it popular. I can understand why they are trying to hold onto it through copyrights..
However, Bill Maxwell stole the show In my opinion 😄
It sure was. I love that song til this day. Wonderful song.
Carrie??? Ok NOW, I rmbr him...
Starts out getting Bill’s name wrong and goes downhill from there, David Hartman was horrible
When watching this back in 81 I was so surprised to hear Hartman call him "Jim" as the interview started. Katt had stated back then he hated giving print interviews because he was always misquoted, I can only imagine what he thought when a non print interview with the network he was on started out like that. I only know of two televised interviews Katt gave back during the series run. This one from GMA and one he did on KABC TV's AM Los Angeles. Sadly I did not live on the West Coast so I do not have the AM Los Angeles piece.
I think he was sort of burned out with the whole being a lead in a tv series from that era thing, (interviews hectic schedules etc) which is why he turned down an additional two seasons when it started hitting big in syndication during the mid eighties. In retrospect now I've heard him say in interview that he wished he would've taken it, I'm glad he's enjoying the conventions and talking about TGAH now, seems like a nice man. @@tgaharchives1981
StarWars Luke would have been Way Better played by William Katt.
What a horrible interview. Horrible way to treat a guest.
William Katt deserved better than this.
I agree
I hated this hero when I was a Kid because he was so clumsy and with weak superpowers 🤣🤣
haha! I loved it and still do! The GAH is my favorite!
It was a comedy and since the instructions were lost, he had to learn how to fly by all of his mistakes.
Bro, you wanna talk about humiliating and silly? Try getting up every morning and doing a real job.
And one that doesn't pay nearly as much as doing a primetime television show.
