Quentin Tarantino on The Tonight Show (1995)

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino appeared on The Tonight Show on May 2, 1995 to promote his acting role in "Destiny Turns on the Radio" and to take a phone call from David Hasselhoff. Watch at the 4min mark as Jay makes an oddly prescient sexual harassment joke at Tarantino's expense.

90's studio audiences were obviously cooler than now.

[@D.S.handle]

Every talk show host ever interviewing Quentin: "So I heard you have worked in a video store".

[@FungusMossGnosis]

Another 90s banger: Oh hey, Jewell, I heard you *_lived in a van_* ...

[@constipatedlecher]

Video title should have been "battle of the chins"

[@rollingsonsofbitches3213]

Ben Selfridge oh god lmao😂

[@shoWbitz]

Reservoir Chins

[@Antiprogressivepraxis]

Dude had the drummer gal walk on his face after the show.

Dueling half-moons.

God I miss the mid 90's......

LOL

[@unclenoob3062]

[@clicheguevara5282]

This video has more chins than a Chinese phone book.

[@kaustavdeka229]

I miss the days when directors were, rightly, admired and respected more than actors.

[@chriswright4677]

Directors are still hugely respected. Heard of Scorsese?

[@Gildedowlmedia338]

Directors are still highly admired and respected now. Christopher Nolan, Ari Aster, James Gunn, Greta Gerwig, Jordan Peele, Wes Anderson, etc.

[@schizvoid8774]

​@@Gildedowlmedia338bro tried throwing JP in the mix😂😂😂

[@Ryan07_20]

⁠@@schizvoid8774he’s better than Gunn and Gerwig in my opinion, and I’d say his 3 movies being massive critical/commercial hits is due to his name

[@dabunnydabunny1243]

​@@schizvoid8774Well yeah, he's good at directing.

[@softbatch1]

He's so gorgie! I love him so much! QT is awesome.

[@BEN__JAMIN]

6:25 this is foreshadowing Hasselhoff’s groundbreaking, suspense-filled, heart-wrenching return to grace performance in the 2004 feature film: The Spongebob Movie

[@danielfishburn7042]

Quentin looks like a caricature drawing of Robert Pattinson here

[@electricshrapnel4368]

He likes her because she looks like Pam Grier.

[@nikk796]

Exactly

[@JohnnyRamonesT-Shirt]

She could’ve been Jackie Brown, imagine.

[@diegobriseno7395]

True!😅

[@carsstuffchannel8576]

God I miss the 90s. We thought the future would be even better ......

[@JM-io2uv]

Personally I miss 1991-2007, those were the best times for me man

[@pedromoliveira658]

When Leno says if he wants the girl to come over Tarantino's reaction is like a kid YES YES YES THAT'S WHAT I WANT YES DO YOU WANT TO COME HERE? YEAH YEAH

[@blade00000009Windows]

yeah i can see why people say it looks like he did a gram of cocaine 30 seconds before this

[@blade00000009Windows]

honestly i think everyone was on coke during this

[@ab-bc2gr]

Agree. His movies are weird like him too, IMO

[@tara-fz4st]

I would fit in that screaming crowd

[@shoWbitz]

The percussion gal looks like Pam Grier. Quentin Tarantino has the hots for Foxy Brown.

[@ericg4915]

Why is Leno calling him "old buddy" when this was in 95 and he didn't make his first movie til 93

[@justinhopper5941]

The battle of the chins

[@johnmoeller8654]

Leno was a dreadful interviewer with no genuine interest in others.

[@robovac3557]

Yup.

[@Lillalolmc]

He´s just hustling left and right? :D

[@martitinkovich4489]

keep yur chin up

[@OGRE_HATES_NERDS]

[@lolledopke]

Quentin had no interest in promoting that turd of a movie

[@patrickgolden7143]

You're gonna "hang right" :O oh lawd. Name one movie where tarantino did not incorporate the N word with a hard R on the end

[@andyginestra6333]

Ok take it easy LOL

[@BucketOfMarbles]

Inglorious Basterds

[@CallowaySchmidt]

Lol are you trying to say QT is racist? He literally writes people of color as the most badass role. Jackie Brown, Django Unchained, Pulp Fiction. The protagonist is a badass and black. If he's a racist he's really bad at it. 😝

[@ledzepplinreuniontour]

Kill Bill, Once Upon a time in Hollywood

[@funnypicturescomics]

This is an example of why people tuned in....this "off the wall" interaction is what made MUST SEE TV.
