One of these days I'm gonna have a looong talk with that boy.
You know, It's incredible how cool and nice and down to earth Max Baer Is... After watching him play Jethro I realize how gifted an actor he is for playing that part. What a great man and God bless you Max.
This is what's missing in tv today
That show wouldn’t have been what it was without the two best on it. Granny & the equally animated & handsome Jethro!! Imo!
Max Baer as Jethro was just superb!
Max was terrific. The Hillbillies were absolutely hilarious, one of my all time favorites.
yea because it's jews pale face
Love all his episodes that Jeff and Sarah do for history behind us I've watched every show he's done at least 10 or 15 times over I always find new little tips A1 Plus your number one fan Lou Martell
It is good to hear him speak so warmly about Donna Douglas.
Max played a great character in the Hillbillies sitcom. One of my favorites. Excellent job Max!
He played the perfect role as Jethro. He was just a natural actor with little to no training. I cannot imagine anyone else playing the role. He was so good I can see him being type casted. Just like Bob Denver of Gilligan’s Island.
Yeah, but Denver went on to have a great singer-songwriter career, with hits like 'Country Roads', 'Rocky Mountain High', and others in the early to mid 70's before unfortunately being killed in a plane wreck.
Jethro Bodine is an iconic character in TV history, right there with Barney Fife.
I love Barney Fife or Fise lol. I have the dvd's and watch it every night
The Thing I Didn't Like On
The Andy Griffith Show Was Everyone Alway's Teased
& Made Fun Of Others ...
C'mon karl, do you think the clampetts weren't made fun of on the show?
So True
Don't forget about Jethrene
Jethro Bodine rules!
And he built his whole career on a grade 6 edumacation! Awesome guy!
What a classic comedy!! Will live forever in our hearts. Sad that today's shows can't compare.
But when it was made they said it was sad that in couldn't compare with the Keystone cops,.....Go figure?
@@georgemoore7186 Wrong. Nobody ever said that.
@@JeanmarieRod Idiot, I was being facetious in making fun of a fool
You are correct
BEVERLIES HILLBILLIES was on the same level as AMOS AND ANDY. It caused much heartache for people from the south who found themselves among ignorant Yankees.
It was an awesome show and one of my favorites back then . Jethro was absolutely hilarious ! He played the part perfectly. Actually the whole cast was great really !! Max always made me laugh. Off screen he is a really nice guy too. Thanks for all the laughs you gave us Max. Always find memories when thinking about
The Beverly Hillbillies.
Glad that Max is still going strong and doing well. Thanks for the laughs and good family shows.
What a class act Max is.
Love Jethro. Classic comedy.
My hero ,very tall & great looking man
Best comedy of the 60’s!
Jed: Jethro- why ain’t there no ice in Californy?
Jethro- Well don’t look at me, I didn’t take it!!
Great wisdom in the show too.
Jethro Bodine one of the funniest characters ever on TV, Max Baer, Jr will forever be remembered for that character, forever apart of my 60s childhood, the show was hilarious, the movie that was made I think during the 90s could never do it justice, glad he is still with us so far and RIP to all the cast members that have gone on, a show like that in today's climate would never see the light of day..
Max sounds like a genuine class act guy....as a kid loved watching Beverly Hillbillies it was something my older brother and parents would gather around the TV for every Saturday night and enjoyed the show.
What a great man, being so humble and kind
My opinion about Max Baer Jr is he's a genuine nice man and watching this was worth 20 minutes of my life to learn about his. Thanks for posting.
What a pleasure to hear how much your time is worth and that you honored everyone with the 20 minutes of your time my you must be a fantastic time manager!
@@Iambriangregory And you are and probably always be an asshole Lol, you responding to a 4 year old post. You're not busy too much in Alabama?
Jim165670.....Well put, and I certaInly agree .
@@Mike-ke4yp What college freshman school do you go to by the way? You think your opinion means anything more than the sweat on somebody's back? I know when you're new to college the word weird really bothers somebody but when you grow up you'll find out the word weird means different and everybody is different Einsteinand how weird it is for you to be worried about who else is weird. So go back to your mother's basement and get some mental groupl supervision because you're out of your league Einstein okay? He didn't see that one coming did you genius? That's why it's best to keep your mouth shut sometimes Because if you don't flies will go in it duh ,Now I command you to go silent because you have been sufficiently embarrassed!!

"I can't find where that music is coming from because next thing you know someone is knocking at the front door!"
Mr.Baer was extremely talented. My father remembered seeing his dad 'in the ring'. He always told me that every time the show came on. I always watched 'Max's' career. An incredibly talented man and very well learned. He had a fantastic mind for business. I cannot count the number of 'shows' that he worked on behind the scenes.
Max Baer passed away in 1959 (Max Baer Jr. was only 23 at the time)--he has said that Buddy Ebsen (who was good friends with Max Baer Sr.) essentially became his surrogate father and took him out on his sailboat (Mr.Ebsen was an accomplished sailor) and on many other excursions. Donna Douglas (Elly May) also said that she came to love Mr. Ebsen like a father for the way he treated her.
I was thrilled to learn that Max, Jr. had an uncle in the movies who played a giant with Abbott and Costello.
God bless his heart!!!!
I still love Jethro....n granny was the funniest
Great show I watch the reruns all the time. Max was great as Jethro. Miss Jane was so smitten with him, that was so funny. This was such a nice interview where everyone got along and it was a pleasant experience.
What a great interview. I enjoyed every second of it. Max is truly a well adjusted guy.
max didn't disappoint at all. He was so informative and entertaining.I"m do glad he's doing well for himself.
As one of the contributors on her stated Granny and Jethro made the show. I always looked forward to Max's scenes.
My favourites where the episodes where tried to be a "Double nought spy."
I love when cast members keep in touch with each other long after the shows over. Because it shows how close they've gotten over the years working together weather it was before, during, or after they were selected for those roles.
Wow! So refreshing to hear his genuine old fashioned gratitude. And respect for his Beverley Hillbilly costars. Thank you Max Baer. For Jethro, and being such a stand up guy.
MAX BAER!!--if you ever read this--THANK YOU for being a FUN part of my youth (I was born in 1956) on TV, and of course especially on THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES. For kids, TV characters are weekly friends you come to know, revisit, and treasure from episode to episode. Once on the TV in your home they become like extended family. The absurdity of sitcoms isn't a factor of disbelief for kids, at least, when the storytelling and characters are so strong and lovable, and Jethro was always a fond part of the equation. Despite how entertaining the show has been, I've greatly enjoyed listening to this interview and hearing you speak about and for yourself. Thank you again--Don in Indiana (age 67).
Loved Max Baer he was a wonderful Jethro, we all knew he could play anything. But a gentle man as Jethro. Thank You.
what a nice interview
After watching all the episodes I have to say he was actually a very good actor. Yes there’s the type casting but no one else could ever have do that part easy or not.
He can cipher, too.
Really miss them all what a great show and the people we’re the best
Still love Beverly Hillbillies and I Love Lucy. Nice to hear Max interview.
Max is a very likable guy.
Man Such A Cool Guy Who Didn't GrowUp Watching The Beverly Hillbillies It Was Part Of My Childhood Love The Show Still Love It At 55
very classy interview
I watch the beverly hillbillies every night on RUclips all night long in bed,it's always on.
Knock on wood it never gets old.
He was brilliant, the whole cast was,but it wouldn't have been the same without Max at all.He was brilliant and so full of energy.
What a great guy
Wow, this is a treasure.
Incredible how talented he is if he has accomplished as much as he has and yet still was able to play the loveable doofus on the Beverly Hillbillies. Wonderful to learn the "real side" of such a talent.
The reason the show is still on and still popular is because you have likable characters you have attractive characters you have good writing and you have funny situations and a show that is genuinely funny and enjoyable to watch. That's all there is to it. It's also the formula of the little man triumphing over the snobs. And the general public always likes that.
Besides ALL that , being a SITCOM about Hillbillies the Way they took everything somebody Said LITERALLY is what made the show So Funny! .
Very classy guy nowadays people could learn from him I'm sure there was bad times on the show everything has bad times. But he chose to hold the show up and the people that he worked with in my mind Max Baer is a classy guy
I highly doubt there were bad times. They made good money and had camaraderie on the set and an incredibly nice job and lived very good lifestyles in an era when Southern California was a paradise.
Iwatched The Beverly Hillbillies before I went to school.Theyall made me laugh awesome show and the people in it were awesome too Good to see Jethro is doing well what happened to the others. They are awesome performers. God Bless you all and those that passed rest in peace.your number 1 fan 🤩 🤩 🤩
Met Mr. Baer in 1990. A Gentleman and a Class Act.
What a delightful man. ❤
Absolutely loved The Beverly Hillbillies! How nice to hear your voice Maxx, awesome you still find into the Levi's you wore on the show!
The overall premise of the BHB helped viewers synthesize how they utilize common mechanisms as applies to time period.
My Father said "Boxing is a Religious sport, it's better to give than receive" One of the best quotes of all time, because it's funny ....and it's TRUE!!
I remember my dad watching him, he made him laugh so hard, talk about fond memories.....
What a down to earth,and gracious person,so very friendly, always liked the hillbillys show !
Always loved Max Baer as an actor. God bless you.
God Bless Maxx Baer and keep him well. A real down to earth person. Also, R.I.P. Donna Douglas, a kind soul.
great to hear him epic in our tv culture
Just rewatched Ode To Billy Joe, on TCM, a great movie I first saw at the drive in, as a youth. I was quite surprised to learn that Max Baer was the director. He was a skilled filmmaker.
If you haven't seen it, also check out "Macon County Line". He wrote it, directed it, and played the sheriff in it. Excellent movie, it came out around that same time.
Wow!...gotta check these out again
Still a 'go to' movie for me. It paints such a romantic picture of the southern states - plus Glynnis O'Connor whom I had a crush on and James Best at his pre-Rosco P. Coltrane best.
@@dayceemAbsolutely Glynnis an Absolute Doll!
You’d never think of him as an introvert.
thefivecount: great interview thank you for posting. One of my favorite TV shows.
Now, that's class.
Thank you so much, sir. Just like the character Jethro, I could eat like a horse and loved the girls of my high school days. This led my dad into calling me Jethro. All in fun and good humor.
He was the best thing on that show
Vety tall & very handsomes
I read that when Max Baer Jr. came to audition for the part of Jethro he was incredibly nervous. Just before his audition, they broke for lunch and Irene Ryan ("Granny") decided to take him out to lunch and essentially got him hammered. When he returned he was calm and completely nailed the audition and got the part of Jethro
Good for you Irene!
They were thinking of casting Jethro as the man who later played Ellie's beau Mark the frogman a very wooden actor.
i wonder if Granny gave him some of her homebrew lol
@@jimanderson7648 Possum stew was probably psychadelic
Holy Shit!!! Hes so articulate, intelligent and expressed himself in a way that makes it so entertaining to listen too I can only hope I'm as quick witted as he is when I get older God Bless him !!!!
Thank you Justin and everyone who made this interview available.
Thank you Mr. Baer for accepting to answer the questions. I only wish that it was me asking them. Do you ever come to Toronto, Canada?
Thank you to anyone and everyone who had anything to do with making The Beverly Hillbillies show. I am turning 62 now and you were a good influence in my life.
The show was all lovable. I have had some of the best "stomach-aching" laughter when I was watching The Beverly Hillbillies. I just could't feel more thankful.
Max and the rest of the cast were terrific, and the show was great.
Well done Max Donna Irene & Buddy ⭐️⭐️🤠🤠🤠
Max Baer Jr. Very good actor, especially on the Beverly Hillbillies.
Very tall,& handsomes
He was hilarious as Jethrine Bodine
He is a Lot smarter than I thought he was watching the show back in the 60s. It was a great fun show. They had great fun ideas for shows back in the 60s that were pure entertainment. They werent trying to be hip or urban. We were still closer to our country roots. Max is the last one left. They were all unique talents.
Man alive thank you for this interview! Really really cool.
When they made the remake of The Beverly Hillbillies whoever chose JETHRO should have been fired. that guy had the goofiest smile all the time Jethro was cool. Max did a great job playing that character
I watch all the old shows. Beverly Hillbillies still remains as one of my favorites Just finished watching and decided to check out the cast. Glad to hear him next interview
I remember seeing a very short clip (2-5 seconds) of him chowing down at a table with all manner of food for a bistro commercial back in the 1970s. I remember getting so excited thinking, "Hey!! It's JETHRO!!"
It just hit me. When he is gone there wont be any more living icons from that show to keep it alive in our minds. Those of us who saw the show in its heyday will have no one alive we can see that was one of its major cast members! It all will just be a memory! Like smoke from a cigarette, like a dream you wake up from, it just fades away.
Great interview of a great guy.
I didn't know that he had conceived and produced those hit TV movies after the show ended. Those were some great stories, and his good-natured, self-effacing attitude really comes through in them.
He was able to carve out a different career behind the scenes as his acting career was hurt by being typecast as "Jethro"
Your dad would have been so proud of he had gotten to see you play Jehro on the Show...he probably would have said: "That's MY boy up there on the TV screen!"
Somewhere around 1973, I was in 5th grade, my dad made a phone call answering Max’s ad for old cars(my dad had worked with Max in construction here in Sacramento so was friends with him and he collected old cars )for Macon County Line in the Delta. My dad was older and not in the best of health at the time. Max told him he would use his cars and put the family in the movie but dad said no. I was bummed but begged to speak with Jethro. Max the perfect gentleman spoke patiently with me while I asked him many questions lol but the 1 question I will never forget asking him was, “ do you really just have a fifth grade education?” He answered laughing “ no darling!” See I was trying to get out of school really. And my teacher was a descendant of Mark Twain at the time.True story
I love The Beverly Hillbillies! Real interesting interview. Thank you for sharing!!
Granny died in 1973 . She was a beautiful woman, very kind .
Irene Ryan. Saw her on the gameshow,Password.
Love is a 4 layer word and the Hillbillies gave us much Hope.
One of my favorites. Enjoyable. God bless.
Never heard him interviewed before. I assumed he'd be a nice person, but he still really impressed me. Would love to meet him in person. He and his Hillbillies cast mates were always brilliant, even when the stories were a bit silly.
love him !
Oh...loved his acting...he made it seem so easy
What a great show! To this day and forever. Divine comedy.😅🎉❤
great interview!
My favorite was craw dads. We went after that calling joints and say "Hey, wanta smoke a Craw Dad" Epic
Like Frank Banks (the actor who played Lumpy on Leave It To Beaver) Max Baer made much more money as a businessman than he ever made as an actor. His highest salary on The Beverly Hillbillies was $140,000 a year. At age 85 he has a net worth of 50 million.
Sounds like Donna planted some seeds in his heart. May they bear fruit.
What a legit human being! I'll bet that I'd have enjoyed pulling back a few pints with Max... or even just a couple of cups of coffee.
I loved watching the show, way back when there were only 3 channels to choose from. I still live seeing the reruns today.
Great article from the 80s or 90s, trying to think of the publication, about Jethro and his love of the Trader Vic's at Merv Griffin's Beverly Hilton. Stayed there in the mid -90s and didn't see him but it is/was a great venue and he was such a beloved performer. Would have loved going out drinking with him !
That was a great interview!!😊
The Critics panned it. The public loved it. We had nine good years of new episodes and always great to see it again.
For me any scene where Granny is all over Jethro's case for doing what he was not supposed to do or what he wasnt supposed to do and didn't. Just watched first couple seasons that Paul Henning wrote and they were Sooo funny. Can't believe Irene Ryan Never nor Max got Emmys for their roles - IMHO, outstanding performances!!
Thanks Max.
Great interview
My favorite Jethro segment was when they thought he was a movie stuntman and were going to blow him up in a shed, so he came home. Uncle Jed sent him back saying, "Go on back there boy and show'em what you're made of."
A great Actor And Human Being - 🙏🙏
I’ve been watching reruns on RUclips and just love them. Sounds like Max made a ton of money afterwards. Good for him.
Great radio interview with Max Baer Jr. I had not heard it before now. His comment right near the end about his old pair of Levi's jeans had me LOL!
You can't forget Jethrene.
Paul Henning's (the Beverley Hillbillies creator) daughter Linda (who went on to Petticoat Junction) was Jethrene's voice
Very tall & very handsome
I don't like to remember Jethrine....wasn't a good look for Jethro
