Christopher Walken sure is multi-talented, and a lifelong Elvis fan. It was nice of him to remind us of the 1957 show filmed here, when Elvis' well-covered but shaking hips were censored from public view. Yes, the theatre has come a long way since then, and has seen things that would make Ed Sullivan blush!
Christopher Walken is without a doubt one of the best actors of all time ever and who would have known he one of the best dancers as well !!! He's a very unique personality and I bet he would be a real cool person to talk to he's probably got some pretty cool stories to tell and as a side note his voice or accent or the way he talks is so unusual and unique nobody else talks like him the way he does that's probably another reason why he's such a great actor because he acts great but he's a one of a kind vocally !!! He seems like a pretty cool dude !!!
Yes. There wasn’t much to see here of him “channeling” Elvis my dfavorite popular entertainment star of all time. I met ChristopherWalken in 1983 after I had been on a recording session for Billy Joel with my then all female string band that I played with “String Fever” + other record daters. When he asked me my name and I said “Natalie” he looked like he was going to fall off his bar stool as this was just a few months after the terrible tragedy of the drowning accident of Natalie Wood whom he had been with, on the boat when that occurred. We spoke and I was asked to take a walk with him in Central Park but refused. He was a gentleman and walked me home though. Nice guy and great actor.
Everytime I see him, Mr. Walken gives an impression of someone with a very kind and gentle soul. And he is fully aware that his manner of speaking makes other people laugh at him but he doesn't seem to mind.
They are not laughing at him, they are laughing with him. Walken knows full well his quirkiness is an endearing quality, part of his appeal. Why would he mind it?
Everyone should definitely watch the Fatboy Slim video "Weapon of Choice" if they haven't before. It's worth watching just to see Walken dance. But also, its actually a good song.
I have seen many times, it is actually a great song, and perfect fit for Walken. What a uniquely gifted guy, has made a whole career out of his being completely weird and different from everybody else. Genius? Maybe, or just seems like he's being himself, and it just works. Love that dude.
If you want to go further down this rabbit hole, check out Sam Rockwell’s dance to Flight Facilities’ “Down to Earth”. The video has been compared to Walken’s dance to “Weapon of Choice”. In fact, there is a yt video that interleaves the two.
intresting fact ...the reason why mr. walken has had the same hairstyle .....always ...was/ is a tribute to elvis style [ mr.walken is big fan of elvis ]
Indeed. That meeting with his gang after paroling was a great moment in the film. Laurence Fishburne's offering Walken a drink of his soda and Walken's response is a memorable moment in the film.
Dave must have discovered the miracle of Propecia, Minoxidil or toupees, over 20 years later he's not bald, in fact, he has so much hair it's moved to his face.
For yet another side to this fascinating man, put the following into the YT search at the top... 'Three little pigs read by Christopher Walken' Chortling shall ensue. As always, there is no charge.
Adam Spiegel, AKA Spike Jonze is a true talent. Christopher Walken is an excellent dancer, actor and all-around nice guy. He lives next-door to me. Christopher Walken is NOT DEAD. He turned 81 on March 31, 2024.
Years ago I watched a long video from Spike Jones with random people dancing set to music and perfectly orchestrated to the music, it was magical and I wish I could find it again, and no Walken wasn’t in this one I seen.
Letterman was a complete waste of time. He's one of the worst television hosts in the history of the medium. He shouldn't compete with the guest for laughs.
Either Dave or Fatboy Slim screwed up big time by not agreeing to whatever was asked to include a clip of the video. massive missed opportunities for both involved but mostly the guy who isn't Dave. Dave was too cheap or lazy or busy being a big shot to bother using the proper music. I'm a fan of Dave and Fatboy Slim. Paul is a competent professional. I'd have been entertained by his rendition of the track Walken danced to. I like Walken's moves. They're unfamiliar yet extremely human. He is relatable. And yet I fear him. Seriously, though, the way that this has been edited screams "dave ain't got any class" which is untrue as we both know. For your sake I post this comment, Dave. You see the big picture and then show it on TV to the rest of us. God bless Phylo Farnsworth and David Leaderman
I spent my childhood whith this person: Maniac Mansion, Back to the Future II. The idol book slowly becomes empty... Rest In Peace, Joe! Until we meet again: either you drag us to you, or we drag you to us
There is something about Walken that makes him endlessly fascinating.
The Word you searching for calls carisma.
@@DopaDopaminsome of us have charisma, some of us have whatever you typed.
@@ongogablogian8568 😩😩😩
@@DopaDopaminYes, and the spelling you're searching for is charisma.
He was on the boat when Natalie Wood drowned. I wonder what he knows.
Walkin has charisma but it’s a special kind called quirky charisma, Jeff Goldblum has that also.
He is wonderful and a huge Elvis fan. I love both.❤😊💃

Much like Elvis in fact.
God love him for channeling Elvis
If Letterman had asked Walken even one question about Elvis, that would have carried the rest of the interview. 🤩
Then what!
That was cool he wanted to stand were the king stood. Good night Graceland. Texas
This video was a hidden treasure. Not many people knew he could dance like that and not many people knew F.B. Slim.
He danced for 2 seconds in this video... What a letdown
Everybody knew Fatboy slim at this point
Yes! And he is a wonderful dancer. I am a former dancer and appreciate his art of dancing. 👍🏼
Fatboy slim is da shiznit
I love that for him and the rest of us EP fans!! A fan is a fan and will always be a fan. Christopher Walken we love and appreciate you!! ❤️❤️
I caught that, too ! 😊
❤🎵❤️
He’s amazing in anything. He just has something that is hard to describe
Talent and moxie.
He knows the truth bout Natalie wood
It’s that unique Schtick of his that separates him from the rest.
Mr Walken turned 81 on March 31st…
Really, no joking? He looks absolutely amazing!
@@JoJo-oc2zpThis interview was in 2001
Loved him in The Deer Hunter.
Long live the king of rock n roll and everything else. Good night Graceland. Texas

Why would he be laughed at? He has such a gentle voice
@@ongogablogian8568 Yes, and he loves cats which is unusual for males who prefer dogs, although there are exceptions.

Off to watch the video now ....
I’ve seen the video many times and knew the name of the artist but didn’t know the name of the song until today.
That video ...
Wow
Woweee wow wow
But I must confess, I had to follow up with "Everybody Dance Now"
I have seen many times, it is actually a great song, and perfect fit for Walken. What a uniquely gifted guy, has made a whole career out of his being completely weird and different from everybody else. Genius? Maybe, or just seems like he's being himself, and it just works. Love that dude.

Great interview and actor, I love all of Christopher Walken's movies.
Funk Soul Brother🤘🏼

Love him with a beard. it looks good on him.
Yes!
I love this guy.I love Elvis .Letterman gets on my nerves.
It was Walkens face when he mentioned show biz history. It gave I asked about Elvis. 😂
@@Key-ho3qiwow you’re gorgeous
@@sevinstorey4365 thank you!
Christopher Walken has a great speaking voice, and Elvis had a great everything.
I LOVE this man. Extremely talented.
yeah has kept quiet bout Natalie all these years
fabulous. I miss seeing Walken more on tv interviews. I always get the feeling that the interview could go anywhere
You may be cool. You will never be Walken cool.

Я люблю его за то ,что он любит Элвиса Пресли!❤
Loved this flashback...right down to Paul's wardrobe. Classic Dave and classic Showbiz! 😂
It didn't show the video of him dancing!!??
So miss these days. Walkens voice so interesting. He’s so dry so funny as is Letterman..
"We're talking about hair?"😅
We're talking about yanking it!
One of my favorite Christopher Walken films is “King Of New York”
Indeed. That meeting with his gang after paroling was a great moment in the film. Laurence Fishburne's offering Walken a drink of his soda and Walken's response is a memorable moment in the film.
Just hearing Christopher say fat boy slim is awesome. Priceless
Thank you Mr walken
I loved this. Fantastic.
So likable
one of a kind....Mr. Walken 👍👍
Elvis: King of Entertainment.
He could be my favourite Bond villain!😼
He WAS a Bond villian in one of the Roger Moore films from the 1980's.
@@MarceloRomero360 Yes, thanks. That’s why I said he’s possibly my favourite Bond villain.
I had no idea until today! He makes a great villain, so I’m not at all surprised.
@@kstepko The part of Zorin was first offered to David Bowie. I like Dave, but he’s not as convincingly psychotic as Chris Walken.👍

As of April 4, 2024, Christopher Walken is still alive
what time?
@@gerrydooley951 12:44 P.M., or so

Hello, children.
Dave should have brought up Natalie Wood.
This guy just amazes me.

There is no way he can do Elvis so sorry 😢
I just adore him, always!❤

Well said.
Can we please hang out with him forever?!
hi
Walken is creepiest actor ever lol
This aired 49 days before 9/11
Now Austin Butler doing impressions of him is kind of a circle closed ❤
😂
Years ago I watched a long video from Spike Jones with random people dancing set to music and perfectly orchestrated to the music, it was magical and I wish I could find it again, and no Walken wasn’t in this one I seen.
Ya gotta love Mr. Walken! 🙂
Letterman was a complete waste of time. He's one of the worst television hosts in the history of the medium. He shouldn't compete with the guest for laughs.
How dumb, he shakes his hips 1and a half times and you call this channeling Elvis?
There's very little Elvis in this clip. Based on the title, I was hoping for more.
If you haven’t seen the dancing video, please do! He’s so good!
Love Chris ❤
More cowbell.
❤️
He needs to channel Nataly Woods back to life
Frankenstein never scared me.
Can ole Walken channel Natalie Wood??
All I gotta say is, more cowbell.
😉
🍀The man the myth the legend 👀✌️
Not bad for a man afraid of plants.
nothing about elvis
The best…!
Fascinating! you click baited me, but i forgive
you. This was an exhibit of how good spirited,
talk shows were back then, fun and educational.
what a pair!!

I guess I missed it.
Hes the devils sun
Where is the clip?
Miss ya Dave …..and Christopher was so nice and humble…
Take them off
What dance?
Good to know there will be a season 4! Absolutely LOVE this show!
Letterman made Walken laugh
I luv it
Mr.Walken and Mads Mikkelsen resemble each other somehow
They both belong to the same class.
He’s one who sold his soul
Wasted my time
No such thing as channeling there is b a great gulf between the dead and the living.
What is answering is demons do not let yourselves be mislead.

@@anghiggy5029 oh no he's dead
@@gerrydooley951 No he's not, what the heck you talking about?
When you go and look at younger photos of Walken, he actually looks quite a bit like Elvis.
I don't remember him ever looking quite like this. The beard is a great look on him!
I've seen him on stage doing Shakespeare in Stratford, CT. He's very talented, for sure. Terrific sense of humor, and quite genuine.
when TV was GREAT!
Should i have ice cream now?
