Welcome to the Letterman RUclips Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. The language may strike you as quaint & flowery, the clothing comically lacey & ornate - but that’s how things were back in this colorful and now bygone era.

I remember in 1985 when Michael J. Fox had the #1 and #2 movie at the SAME TIME and also a Top 5 show --- he was a superstar
Not bad for a guy who was selling his furniture to eat and using the pay phone in front of his apartment because he couldn't afford a home phone not long before that.
Justine Bateman tells a story about driving down Sunset and seeing a Billboard for Back To The Future, Teen Wolf and Family Ties. Even today that's insane.
@@breakercassidy6946 I think the only person who came close was Prince --- in one week in 1984, he had the #1 album, #1 song, and #1 movie all at once!
It always strikes me how different the tone of late night was back then, much more natural, not a lot of manufactured laughs, editing and such. You even have those quiet, award moments that happen naturally. Miss it.
That's because back then there was no youtube or on demand. Late night was for the weirdo, night owls, college crowed up late. It was only meant to be seen once, and if you missed it (unless you had a VCR to record it) when it aired, you never saw it. Now "late night tv" is not really "late night", because it isn't made for that crowed, but for youtube clips to watch at 2 in the afternoon, while one is at work and hardly working.
@@DrVVVinK I'm a weirdo who doesn't work and love to watch the early releases like Seth Myers Closer Look and Jimmy Kimmel, but also prefer to wait for Colbert monologue upload right around midnight after it's actually aired, or even John Oliver right after it's aired. Anywho, peace to all the freaks ✌️🤘
Very good point. It definitely wasn't as formulaic as today.
Because it didn't pander to women. Think the dreck that is Jimmy Fallon. Dancing with friggin JLO.
Michael always had great fashion sense, if I was a celebrity back in that 80s, that's exactly how I'd dress 😇
Michael J Fox is one of the few celebrities I genuinely do care about and admire, so seeing this video uploaded kind of freaked me out. Thankfully he's okay
What a class act Fox is
This is pure Letterman legend! He asks questions that nobody else asks. He makes him uncomfortable about, "Teen Wolf". He asks direct questions about money/gross/net. MJ Fox is a trooper, and he handles it well. I wish more celebrities would not be threatened by honest (Lettermanesqe) interviews. The people love it!
You can see how much of a veteran actor he was early on amazing star
A terrific terrific actor, rewatching Back To The Future trilogy at least thrice a year cannot get enough of them. So unfortunate he got Parkinson's, I bet he would be a regular in the biggest blockbusters today.
Watched back to the future about 10 times yesterday because AMC keeps repeating it, was nostalgic to say the least
GOD BLESS HIM
Look how young, healthy and handsome he was. Nothing lasts forever except your good memories.
MJF was so cute. It's so sad what he's going thru!
I figure Reagan would have especially wanted to meet him, because as the story goes, he had the projectionist roll the film back when the "who's the president in 1985?" line came up. Which apparently made him crack up.
such a good guy ❤
I really liked Michael in Spjn City. I loved that show!
Dave’s reaction to “I’m a Canadian” really tickled me.
I was so in awe of the humor of the Dave of this era. You could even call it idolizing. It definitely had a lifelong influence on my own sense of humor.
@@allendracabal0819 Same here!
Two icon's side by each.
You know his middle name is Andrew, but he didn't want to be 'Michael A Fox', so he changed it to J. 🙂 Really nice guy, like him a lot.
Some interesting questions coming from the interviewer, but I’m so glad you posted this! I never was able to find it before.
Dave asked Michael about the great film people he'd met like Newman & Redford...he also met the peerless James Cagney who the other's were so fond of...surprized he didn't mention that. Great photos online of the meeting.
I love watching my favourite stars from the movies and TV shows I loved as a kid giving interviews to great hosts like Letterman and Carson. Back then, I wouldn't have understood half of the context or meaning of their working lives, but now it really gives me a renewed appreciated for such stars, like Michael J. Fox.
Same
Best comedic timing since Lucille Ball.
He represents all the good.
President Reagan was a fan of Back to the Future and quoted a line from it in his State of the Union Address; he also liked Family Ties.
Or perhaps Peggy Noonan was a fan of the movie.
@@allendracabal0819 No, Reagan watched it at Camp David. He liked the bit when they said 'who is president in 1985? Ronald Reagan. The actor?!'
I recall Mr. Letterman putting together a celebrity short film festival. He requested that celebrities make a short film. The only short I remember from that episode was the one submitted by Mr. Fox. It dealt with the juxtaposition of a symphony orchestra and a hockey team.
I remember that, too! Very clever concept.
Loved that. The Ice Man Cometh
MJ Fox had a terrific sense of humor.
pure gold
@@Redmenace96 He still does.
CANADIAN!
Love ya Mike.
3:54 / 3:55 what, is he Robert Evans w/ those glasses?
What a talent... loved the opening sketch.
I wish I could go Back to the Future... :)
I miss this version.
3:07 bag of dirt 😂
Top of the world!
These are fascinating
They made fun of Teen Wolf...it spawned a sequel, a series, and a revival with a new reboot.
Fred “liked” the movie. Humbleness all around. No one doesn’t “love” Back to the Future”
Why Dave interviewed him like he was a child? :D
Teen Wolf is a good movie!
Michael ruled the 80's.
I had to look this one up, just to make sure that he was okay. I’m going to be so sad when Michael J. Fox actually does die!
There is a new movie/doc called 'STILL', you can google it.
Michael Andrew Fox (Edmonton, Alberta, 9 de junio de 1961), más conocido como Michael J. Fox, es un actor canadiense-estadounidense retirado. Su carrera en el cine y la televisión comenzó a finales de los años setenta. Entre sus papeles se destacan Marty McFly en la trilogía de Regreso al futuro (1985-1990); Alex Keaton en Enredos de familia (1982-1989), por la cual ganó 3 premios Emmy y 1 Globo de Oro, y Mike Flaherty en Spin City (1996-2000), por la cual ganó 1 Emmy, 2 Globos de Oro y 2 SAG. Tras iniciar su carrera como actor con el nombre de Michael Fox, el canadiense añadió la letra J. para no coincidir con el intérprete del mismo nombre y como homenaje a otro actor: Michael J. Pollard.
**( °FamiLy "Ties" ! )**
Canadian -- HUHHHH???
A lot more laid back then and and a lot of just cool funny, hey ya old bag of dirt...LOL I miss people being genuine and just being happy.
Fox seems a little nervous in this interview, but, good lord, the constant requests for anecdotes about celebrities he's met aren't helping!
These shows have a pre-interview so that Dave knows what to ask. So MJF would have already talked about this with someone a little earlier. (Fred, perhaps?) These questions are not exactly coming out of left field.
My comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek as I know talk show interviews are often pre-planned :) Even so, I could see MJF wondering why so many questions centered on his brushes with fame, but just shrugging it off and going woth the flow. I wonder if he found them boring and that informed his appearance that night.
RIP 😢😢
@@wvrspencewestvirginiarebel3581 cmon man
Back when the word "basic" still meant basic. Idk what it even means anymore.
You're probably gonna have to give a little more context if you actually want anyone to understand what you are talking about. I am certainly not going to rewatch this whole video looking for that word.
@@allendracabal0819 3:36 You can find the clip by searching the transcript for the word "basic". You can view the transcript by clicking on the three dot button under the video, next to the share button.
@@freeadrian1144 Cool, thanks. Good tip.
things were a lot different then...
😎
Not dead.
Big fan of Michael J. Fox....however those '80's glasses makes him look like Jeffery Dahmer.
Michael J. Fox
Good eye😊
Not dead yet
Those glasses...yikes!
he could’ve been a big movie star but has severe parkinsons now
Видно по моторике что болезнь уже тогда проявлялась и то как он пытается это скрыть от окружающих. Бедняга.
He said it was while he was filming a movie in 91 when his pinky wouldn't stop shaking.
RIP MJF.
You’re not living up to your username.
