The genius of Letterman is highlighted in the way he handled that sometimes awkward interview. He played into the silences, delivered perfect quips and had the audience rolling.
I think they both know exactly who they worked with esp in re to Sleepers. Both actors despite their greatness have acted in more poor movies than great ones. Sleepers was one of their better ones.
Younger audiences who aren't familiar with Letterman won't appreciate his legendary style.... this interview went perfectly and so true his style. He made De Niro comfortable to be uncomfortable. Hoffman another legend. Miss these guys on the screen
He suffers from massive anxiety. Its so hard to comprehend. A man loved and respected for his craft but out of the movie the character face to face he cant barely function.
OMG that was just gold! Letterman is incredible and those two were funny as hell. Robert is trying not to laugh at Letterman's jokes but he can't maintain composure in the end.
Love it! That's the way all audiences should appreciate our great actors. For moments in time they entertain us and take us away from every day pressures. Salute!
Yes it was. I was with him on it, too. The bad Vibes are killing it here... I bet Dustin made him come to the show with him. Dave'sbeen a good host in my opinion.
Well, I was a bit offended for De Niro. Hoffman touted "Midnight Cowboy". If De Niro had told me that he was my waiter on the night that Bobby Kennedy was assassinated, I sure would remember the story and tell it with respect. I'm Canadian and was 11 at the time and I've never ever forgotten the night that Bobby Kennedy was assassinated. Hoffman may have lost a friend with that one.
Robert DeNiro was almost Joaquin Phoenix in beard and sunglasses on Letterman level bad here. I kept expecting Dave to say to Bob: "Well, this has been a fascinating interview. I'm just sorry you couldn't have been here for it."
After analyzing his way of being in shows and interview I believe mr Robert is not a showoff person ..quite protective of his personal and private life ..hating to be hypocrite and not comfortable in the glorifying hypocrisies world of shows and business show...etc
Absolutely. These two senior actors are rare breeds in the film and entertainment industry. The roles they played in or acted on were splendid. They make and turn movies to the highest form of entertainment.
Yesterday... (applause and laughs) I went.... (woohooo!!!) to the... (more applause) bathroom (YEEAAHHH!!!) and took... (applause and more laughs) a... (more woohoos with laughs) shit... (ovation).
i hope people can take out the time to appreciate the fact that de niro is sitting on the couch in a certain way just so dustin hoffman doesn't look small..
Fricking hilarious. They are ALL in on this appearance... DeNiro is so awesomely dead pan.... Hoffman : " I'm the DeNIro whisperer." I fell off the chair laughing...
@@maryellen968 What are you even talking about ? He doesn't like giving interviews,period. And has a thing against Letterman,there's just a few hosts where he can be himself.
Funny interview. De Nero is a legend luv Dustin Hoffman in the Graduate. I actually won free tickets to see meet the fockers at city walk at Universal premiere. Saw Hoffman and Streisand in person that night I will never forget it. Thanks for posting.
"I am the De Niro whisperer." Hahahahahahahaha! Too much!
😅😀🤣
De Niro in interviews is one of De Niro's greatest roles
Genius reply
I love these guys!
total dud
I wouldn't walk 10ft. to see De Niro, total dick weed!
@@bebo5558 Just like yourself then
I am just glad I grew up when both of these guys were churning out unbelievably great movies...
People are saying this interview was horrible, but I think this is golden. This is balanced. Letterman did an excellent job with both of them.
Love that opening ovation! They certainly deserve it.
absolutely agree!
2 giants in the movie world , pure fact.
i just like the little things that means a lot, like how they are both making sure to seat simultaneously! that's called respect.
The genius of Letterman is highlighted in the way he handled that sometimes awkward interview. He played into the silences, delivered perfect quips and had the audience rolling.
You know it's greatness when the host has to intervene to stop the audience from continuous standing ovation & clapping
David Letterman moderated this talk show so well, up to perfection with timely jokes
I know what you mean....but, it wasn't one of his easiest either.
Two legends 😊
Imagine being so iconic that you can't remember if you worked with brad Pitt or not
after you do 40 - 50 movies, it's not too easy remembering one specific film.......
@@mrmustangman but you gotta remember if you worked with someone like Pitt and that was the case with Letterman's question.
No is question was about the film sleepers not if hes ever workd 4 him but if he was in that film with them also
I think they both know exactly who they worked with esp in re to Sleepers. Both actors despite their greatness have acted in more poor movies than great ones. Sleepers was one of their better ones.
NOURA A I play in a band with different people all the time and I don’t remember most of the people that I played with
These three will never be duplicated. They represent American cinema and television at their finest.
I don't know what they represent, but I don't think it would be as a sweeping as you think.
Oh pleaseee
Thank goodness they wont be duplicated. Cocky posers.
Its like Bob and Dustin smoked a joint before they went on! Lol!
Younger audiences who aren't familiar with Letterman won't appreciate his legendary style.... this interview went perfectly and so true his style. He made De Niro comfortable to be uncomfortable. Hoffman another legend. Miss these guys on the screen
Absolutely. He sets up the stage soooo perfectly, your literally caught up in the moment. Entertainment at its best! A true living legend!!
@@franciskarma7139
He did this all the time. People saw it as being rude sometimes but he was just making great television.
Deniro's greatness comes from his looks and his acting. He really doesn't have anything to say.
I remember watching Midnight Cowboy at the 67 drive in theater when I was a teenager. Wow God i'm old !!
"Well, you brought a good story down."
And then DeNiro's face
Nothing is funny about Bobby Kennedy's been shot. Then again pretty much everybody got shot in USA.
"How Long Have You Guys Been Married." Too Funny.
Robert Deniro is so well composed, doesn't move a bit, while everyone laughed so loud at the jokes
He suffers from massive anxiety. Its so hard to comprehend. A man loved and respected for his craft but out of the movie the character face to face he cant barely function.
you can tell he did not want to be there
Don Rickles was right about DeNiro. Being with him is like being alone.
He actually said that about Jerry Seinfeld
Clint Eastwood and Bob Newhart also fit the category.
lol just realized he said it about deniro as well lol
U guys talkin to me.... about the me's?!
DeNiro is sooo boring
After you have been told you are greatest 500 times, it probably gets old.....It's like, "you can leave me alone now."....
OMG that was just gold! Letterman is incredible and those two were funny as hell. Robert is trying not to laugh at Letterman's jokes but he can't maintain composure in the end.
Funny when Rickles almost managed to get Mr T to laugh : "youre ruining my tough guy image !" :p
Love it! That's the way all audiences should appreciate our great actors. For moments in time they entertain us and take us away from every day pressures. Salute!
Yes, but some how people think their opinions should be broadcasted on entertainment platforms.
6:23 The funniest part was when Letterman looked at his watch and said "Well Bob I know you got a car waiting."
Brilliant.
Yes it was. I was with him on it, too. The bad Vibes are killing it here... I bet Dustin made him come to the show with him. Dave'sbeen a good host in my opinion.
Well, I was a bit offended for De Niro. Hoffman touted "Midnight Cowboy".

Hoffman is one of the classiest men in Hollywood. His whole demeanour...
De Niro And Hoffman 2 Hollywood Legends!
I've been watching Dave on his Netflix special which is fine, but here he's killing it. He was in his prime
Seems like deniro didnt wanted to come but hoffman brought him
I agree ! DeNiro has been open for years about being uncomfortable being interviewed.
Who's this 'hoffman'?
Its just how he is
He can barely look at Letterman
Mr De Niro is not comfortable being praised for his work which is commendable.
Two legends !!!
They were also in the movie sleepers
Robert DeNiro was almost Joaquin Phoenix in beard and sunglasses on Letterman level bad here. I kept expecting Dave to say to Bob: "Well, this has been a fascinating interview. I'm just sorry you couldn't have been here for it."
Except that Joaquim was acting for his documentary. Lol
Glad to live in the same period of time with such legends and many more…
Man. Dustin Hoffman. 84 years old. That seems impossible to grasp.
Hoffman: "Are you gonna feel the same about us in 20 years?"
Letterman: "Well, not both of you"
CLASSIC Letterman !!
The best!
One of the best chat show one liners ever
Dustin Hoffman is a national treasure.
After analyzing his way of being in shows and interview I believe mr Robert is not a showoff person ..quite protective of his personal and private life ..hating to be hypocrite and not comfortable in the glorifying hypocrisies world of shows and business show...etc
I remember this show!! I had just divorced at the time and I think it was the first time in months that I realllllyyyy laughed!!!
Feel you. God bless. 🇸🇬
Hilarious! Almost like Abbot and Costello. Two living legends.
"The De Niro whisperer" I think thats the biggest honor you can be given
"Well not both of ya . . . " Gotta be the best quip of all time!
Two of some the best actors in history. I've heard that Deniro is really shy and quiet in real life.
Michael
Michael Youngstrom yeah he is, makes him more relatable
Ahhhh naa....watch some of his political rants....he's none to shy
+dannyd1572 thank god
ahahahahahhhhhhhhhh
Best applause in history. To the masters.
This interview is great, they're just having fun. I love it!
2 of the Greatest Actors Ever!
2018 and i still love this intervew
they makes,me,emotional.living legends
Probably two of the greatest actors ever...
Robert and De Niro?
Absolutely. These two senior actors are rare breeds in the film and entertainment industry. The roles they played in or acted on were splendid. They make and turn movies to the highest form of entertainment.
Include al pacino and anthony hopkins..
Two finest actor in our lifetime
My oldest son is named after Dustin Hoffman. Loved him in all his movies
So he is Dustin Needum vacuam cleaner! ;-)
These two are the greatest actors for me!
They fell into easy roles, Bob the silent one, Dustin the apologizer, and Dave the accuser. Hilarious. Great comedy.
Silent Bob?
Love Dustin Hoffman xxx
Watching this reminds me...Indiana is so proud to have helped produce the genius that is David Letterman.
Dave is working extra hard here. Asking incredible, thought-provoking questions.
Bob can’t hit the ball back at all. 💀
Bob did not even want to play. They must have been holding his mother hostage to even get him there. 😂
And Locke has no balls at all!
No Bob wasn’t going to play his game…touché
David can be seriously funny 😂
Yesterday... (applause and laughs) I went.... (woohooo!!!) to the... (more applause) bathroom (YEEAAHHH!!!) and took... (applause and more laughs) a... (more woohoos with laughs) shit... (ovation).
This is classic....Deniro & Dave ....pure Gold....
"How long you guys been married?" LMAO
"how long you gays been married."
8:05 haha “ok 5 points, over to you Dustin” lol!
i hope people can take out the time to appreciate the fact that de niro is sitting on the couch in a certain way just so dustin hoffman doesn't look small..
I was thinking Dustin had lifts also
Letterman sarcasm is priceless 👍🤣
Best interview ever!!!
"Well he brought a good story down" so funny!
wouww Dustin Hoffman looking very good !!
I love the two of them! Greatest!
This is absolutely brilliant!
Legends, in the true sense of the word
Fricking hilarious. They are ALL in on this appearance... DeNiro is so awesomely dead pan.... Hoffman : " I'm the DeNIro whisperer." I fell off the chair laughing...
What a fantastic reception for 2 fsntastic actors 👌
great compliment at the end from Hoffman to Letterman.
Letterman truly was the best late night host. The way he moderates this with great questions, wit and perfect timing!
Robert is so uncomfortable its almost to painfull to watch, on screen he seems so relaxed
Pills..
Meds...
Slowed him down
"We'll be right back with Dustin Hoffman and... well, with Dustin Hoffman, ladies and gentlemen."
@@maryellen968 Da Faq are u talking about? He's always been this way
@@maryellen968 What are you even talking about ? He doesn't like giving interviews,period. And has a thing against Letterman,there's just a few hosts where he can be himself.
What a long honour from the audience.
They are two of them most awesome actors on this planet!!
True.
i can only imagine the pure magic of being in the same room as both these performers and the atmosphere and presence they carry with them..... unreal
Both of them are SUPERSTAR and Legend forever ..! 💕 Best regards fro GIANT movie star from Canada! 👍💕🍷🍺🥂👌
Legendary actors i totally, totally, totally *LOVE!!!* =D
Dusty looks so proud that he got Bob to leave his house 🤣 he’s like “yea.. I am the Deniro whisperer”
this is more adorable than any cat video on the internet
oh my God two legends.two woderful actor and real men!!!
They both are the greatest actors ever.
I love both these actors
I had to watch this again after De Niro's recent appearance on Colbert :)
Imagine Al Pacino with them there .That wouuuld beeee awsomeee..
And Joe Pesci
Dragan Pajvanček and james woods. letterman will look like an idiot😂
@@loonylinn8824 james woods? you could've said "and Jim Carrey" still would've been irrelevant.
A whole lotta "HOO-AAA!"
and Joe Pesci...
What a masterpiece!
I love these two extraordinary actors.
"I am the De Niro whisperer." - That would make for a good show lol
De Niro seems the type of guy like Orson Welles where he would rather talk about anything but his own work.
Timeless!♥️♥️
I don't know how many times I have watched this interview
Everyone can see the overwhelmingly incredible intellectual prowess of Mr. De Nero. :-)
Dustin is great.
A good and funny dude.
Dustin is great. You can't help but to like him. De Niro - not so much.
Funny interview. De Nero is a legend luv Dustin Hoffman in the Graduate. I actually won free tickets to see meet the fockers at city walk at Universal premiere. Saw Hoffman and Streisand in person that night I will never forget it. Thanks for posting.
Dave's comeback's here are absolutely hilarious! lol
Every time Letterman laughs, a knife is launched into my heart.
We been on air for 30 years 😂😆🤣
The Best actors!! De Niro's face moving is still the same ( wonderful..powerful...most attractive) and that eyes!❤❤❤❤
Really hilarious and timeless!
I was just referencing the moment when Dustin says 'Bob?' when Letterman asks a question he doesn't want to answer LOL
They could've just sat there for 30 mins I would still watch it. I love them!
This is the longest Applause I have ever seen.
I love this, I can watch this interview forever :)
U R Boring!
