Stern is quick witted and a heavy hitter, but he was outmatched when he had these two on. A lot of his guests he can just talk circle around but not Siskel & Ebert.
I love to see these guys just chilling and having a conversation. Back in the early 90s when Stern was going out of his way to be controversial he showed up on a talk show with them and railroaded the whole thing. I found it very interesting though that they saw through him, Ebert actually openly said that he felt that Stern was just doing a shtick and not actually like the wildman that he was portraying himself to be. Nonetheless I felt bad that they were trying to be professional while he was just acting out for attention (they were right, it was his thing at the time, after all). So, considering all that, it's pretty cool to see them several years later talking like adults and being "real" with each other without the BS. Howard did the same with Letterman in the late 2000s as well. He really changed a lot as he got older.
The Woody Allen thread reminds me of Hitchcock's arrogant, unethical behavior in private life. In fact, Hollywood has a long history of film artists acting like garbage with people behind the scenes. Most if not all of my favorite directors are probably people I'd never want to be around. Same could be said about great authors, like Hemingway, Dostoevsky, and Eugene O'Neill.
There's a bit of difference between Woody Allen's (alleged) behavior and the other names you mentioned, at least if you take all the accusations seriously. The problem is that the accusers have provided inconsistent and somewhat unreliable testimony, and their integrity have been put into question, whereas Woody Allen has plenty of close associates still vouching for him today. Also as far as I can tell, most people who have worked with Woody Allen all have great things to say about him. If he has indeed committed all those things he's accused of, he'd still be very different from people like Hitchcock and Hemingway.
It's not a stretch to believe Mia Farrow would lie about Woody knocking Siskel and Ebert when she would lie about child abuse. But Howard was in the tank for Mia.
@@DannyCosmos This was after Private Parts, which came out March 1997. Also, Roger's book he mentions here was published in June 1997 according to Amazon. Gene died in February 1999. Gene was first diagnosed May 1998.
yeah, he prob knew he had cancer here in private. in the years before the diagnosis in public, Gene let little things slip like wanting his daughters to tell things to their baby brother when he is old enough. in his Life Itself book, Roger mentions Siskel possibly keeping stuff to himself out of fear he'd be fired etc. if it were known.
@@Mr.Goodkat The older we get, sometimes the more desperate we get ... It's that feeling of urgency and that time clock is ticking away. A lot of us want to make a dent in this world before we leave it ... sadly most of us don't. These guys did.
@@Mr.Goodkat Probably ... They certainly made it more interesting, ...at least for those who Enjoy their reviews. I grew up watching these guys ... I don't always agree with them but I love watching their show.
I LOVE Siskel and Ebert
John Candy's last meal was spaghetti he cooked for himself and some of the crew when he was making "Wagons East!" in Durango, Mexico.
where did you learn that?
@@octoman511 He died a couple of hours after that
Howard loves them because they are so quick. That’s Chicago
No snowflakes in the room. Thank God.
God i miss this two

Listen to the time he had Letterman on. He out witted him so much. Jackie and Fred were losing it, laughing hard.
@@lorenzoaramirez3915sorry but nobody outwitted stern.
"It might sell it if were, baby!" 😆 😆
Almost 30 years listening to the Stern Show. And I'll take Siskel & Ebert's movie opinions over Howard and specially Robin.

Always overlooked as one of Stern's best guests. The earlier appearances seem to have disappeared from RUclips
Roger Ebert is my favorite 😂❤
3:43 Gene's reactions after he roasts Ebert. LMFAO! 😄
I love how Ebert & Robin both act like a critic duo for a minute lol
Saw a mention of Richard Lewis the day he passed away rip
So fun.
I miss Siskel and Ebert, as much as I miss Howard Stern not sucking.
Hilarious. What a fun segment.
I love seeing Rog acting like a teenager
Does anyone know what happened to Dean, like what he's doing in 2022?
On IMDB, there is a Dean Imperial who has written and directed for TV in the last 5 years.
That Howard Stern matters to Gene and Roger says a lot.
Hearing Howard rip on "Stuart Smalley" sounds like 'ol Wild Bill O'Reilly.
Woah that's the intern that screwed up Scott's push-up challenge! They made fun of him because he would drink alone.
11:17 Next Level.
This is interesting considering stern’s later therapy treatment. Everyone is entitled to change.

Not even Tippi Hedren's worst stories should be mentioned in the same breath as potential pedophilia.
I think the chief characteristic of the great artists is being “no fun to hang with and get a Costco hot-dog”
Just the ppl that u mention woody Allen, Hitchcock, Hemingway…..you’re too old to be in RUclips comments
plus woody allen's movies suck balls
non-stop whiny pseudo-intellectual expository dialogue

Is Robin REALLY necessary😮
Robin was annoying. Let the guest speak.
Did Gene have cancer here?
He got cancer early 1998 got surgery may 1998…idk when this interview this is from
Looking at Ebert could make anyone sick

Thoroughly obnoxious. Stern and his cast are obviously enjoying themselves more than their unfortunate listeners can be.
Siskel and Ebert act like actual children when they're not doing their own show. Constantly seeking validation
Adults do that more than children so it's more fair to say they're acting like adults and shouldn't be.

It's their shtick: what they did in every public appearance
Oh come on Gene, Private Parts was cookie-cutter comedy shlock and propaganda.
It really was. I remember being so disappointed in that movie -- was a big Stern fan at the time.
The Movie was terrible, only fans of Stern could not admit it at the time, its forgotten trash.
@@JoeBuck207 but don’t forget the Blockbuster Video and Czech awards it won
Ha I bet everything I have I know why yall hate Stern and yall are exactly the type of ppl who you'd want to hate you
Nah man. I'm willing to admit that Private Parts was one of the funniest movies from the 90s.
