This is one of the GREAT performances on film by one of the great comic/dramatic actors of our time. Michael Jeter: you are so very much missed in this world.
He seriously is a comedic genius!! I love this scene and I love "I'm Anne Morrow Lindbergh, I Can't Find My Baby!" and "You Must Be She!" and just everything about this performance!
Michael Jeter has got to have the highest soaring vocal range I've ever heard on a man. Last note was a goddamn C. It's so damn effortless, too! Guys fearless!
Absolutely, without a doubt one of the most hilarious moments ever captured on film. Michael Jeter!!!! AMAZING!!! I LOVE YOU BUDDY!!!!! Oh man, I gotta play that again.
Yes, this clip has been up for quite a while. I come back to it every once in a while, especially when I need an uplifting laugh. Also send it to friends early in the morning as a wake-up call…
I actually did watch this in high school for a Sociology class :) I was lucky- this was before the Bush years, NCLB and abstinence training. It was very eye-opening and started a great discussion about homelessness in the US
when I was watching this movie in the theatre when it first came out, I was becoming rapidly bored with it. then Michael Jeter does this number and I was litterally in tears laughing right there in the theatre...damn what a way to turn a movie around!! Michael will be sorely missed!!!
In deed!! Best movie ever made in my opinion and best performance by each and every actor that was cast in this move. Amanda was great and Michael absolutely adorable..remember the scene "I wanna by katherine hepburn"? hilarious
I showed this to my mother who commented "...isn't this song from Gypsy?" (it is...well, without the mentions of a video store and yes the original is just as off-key). Love it!
It's Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle! I loved this movie when I first saw it in 91 I was 29 years old, I now am 45 and it still is a favorite. At age 43 I became a mom for the first time, and although I have loved Micheal Jeeter's comic and dramtic brilliance. I had no Idea he was a semi regular on SESAME STREET til this past few months. Kids today can see him as Mr. Nooodle's brother Mr. Noodle on Elmo's world. I'm tierd hope I make sense, and if not so what LOL mom to a toddler at 45
Watch his performance in this and follow with the Kevin Costner western "Open Range" and see how vast his range was! (his finest moment in this for me is his commenting on all the AIDS deaths while in Jeff Bridges' lap in the ER.)
Michael Jeter told a great story about this scene. Originally he was to sing a parody of WILKOMMEN but Jeter refused, saying "no self respecting deranged drag queen wants to be Joel Grey! They want to be Merman!" The filmmakers weren't able to get the rights to GYPSY, though, but Jeter ran into Jule Styne at a party and as you see in this scene, he can be persuasive. And he was totally right: it works a thousand times better than Wilkommen would have.
I usually dislike reposting a quote that is so obviously delivered in the video and unnecessary to post, but the line where he says, "I'm Anne Morrow Lindbergh, I can't find my baby!' kills me every time. Not an obvious joke to a causal viewer... (do those exist in Gilliam films?)

Michael Jeter cracks me up in this video. I never knew he was so hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
He cracks me up, everytime I hear "I'm Anne Morrow Lindbergh, I can't find my baby!"
OMFG his squeal at the end made my day...scratch that, my month!
I miss him. He was so talented
AWW MAN! Bridges is wearing the same shirt he did in the Big Lebowski!
I showed this to my mother who commented "...isn't this song from Gypsy?" (it is...well, without the mentions of a video store and yes the original is just as off-key). Love it!
This is the most amazing scene in one of the most amazing movies ever.
"I'm Anne Morrow Lindbergh, I can't find my bay-beeeeee...."
Genius. This is Gilliam's best film.
I watched this about a week ago in Highschool.
That's awesome!!
This is without question one of the funniest scenes ever put on film.
I love that he sings it 3 keys higher than it written for the woman (Ethel Merman) who originally sang this song.
This scene is forever memorable! BEST SCENE EVER!
He was a genius. RIP.
It's Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle!

I remember the first time I saw this scene, I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. Talk about selling it.... :)

.........i need to see this.
So Awesome :))
Very good movie.
''Jack, I'm a man with a mission.'' OMG this was so funny, weird but funny.
Awesome movie! shoud be taught at schools as a part of education program

Amanda Plummer's Response = Priceless!
It never fails to make me laugh when Jeff Bridges says, "I can't believe I'm on a first name basis with these people." in the elevator.
why can't they make movies like this these days? I really would like to know.. :(
(As Elmo from Sesame Street): MR. NOODLE!!
classic scene...
why did they not nominate to the Oscars that year?
I just caught that, too!
Wow.
The first 7 seconds of this clip made me pee in my pants!!!
"I can't believe I'm on a first name basis with these people." LMAO! Such a great line.
Requiescat in Pacem, Michael Jeter
QUÉ BUENA POR FAVORRRRRRRRR!!!!

@Kimcee4younme Nope that's just the brilliance of Mr. Jeter!

He did.
his voice reminds me of NAthan Lane lol

Is he making that voice up? or is this a voice over??
brillanta jajajjaja
And this man has no training in singing, dance and drag?!! Fantastic!
I wish I got messages like this.
I just get phones-calls like a chump.
Ditto.
@bluebettle lol I hope you're being sarcastic, because that was funny.
2:40 Will smith enjoyed it.
