Just got back from seeing Billy in concert in Washington, D.C.. Never mind his health troubles, he gave 2 1/2 hours of MAD JOY. Brilliant. Genius. We were pained from laughing. I'm truly grateful to have had the opportunity to see him in person.
I mean this with all my heart. Billy Connolly is one of my most FAVORITE people in the world. I’ve watched every. Single. Video. Of his on RUclips. I’m too young and missed his early career but I watched all his videos and he is such a brilliant man. I feel like he’s been an unintentional mentor for me. I love him with all my heart and wish I knew how he was doing. I can’t find anything online about how his health’s been. I know he received knighthood earlier this year and that’s the last thing I know. If anyone knows how he’s been please let us know. I ♥️ you Billy Connolly!!!!
+Erlyk Dalkien I think I read somewhere, that Robin called him the day before or something and Billy said in an interview that he thinks Robin was trying to say goodbye because he said "I love you" to Billy...
Happy Birthday Billy. May you have many, many, more. Bless you sir. You have made me laugh for decades and for that I thank you because laughter in the end is important.
Now nearly 40, I totally get it. Nose hair, involuntary noises, aches and pains in areas that didn’t before. And don’t get me started about the grey pubic hair 😂
My grandma just turned 80 and it's kind of weird to think about how she'll be gone soon, but we have good genes and she's active and healthy so I can see her getting to 90 or higher. Still though that's only about ten more years with one of the most fantastic women I've ever known.
I spent a moment considering Billy's argument that the long nose hair and other comparable changes in an aging body must happen for a reason. Respectfully, there is a flaw in that argument. The way evolution works is that any mutation that increases our ability to survive, mate and raise children to the age where they can reproduce will be amplified and mutations that decrease that ability will die out. Any mutation that only results in a change to our phenotype when we are elderly is really moot. Most people didn't live to be 70 during most of the history of human evolution.
I don't care that he SPOILER in Boondock Saints II, he NEEDS to be in the third one. He's like Rocco, there's no BDS without him! :-D Speaking of which, Sean Patrick Flanery does the best Billy Connolly impressions, hahah
Long nose hair is an adaptation to deal with greater amounts of pollution in our cities. People in cities have more&longer nose hair. Not funny but true :P Also,love you Big yin. Dont ever change :)
I don't find Conan funny at all, but he's one of the biggest tv show hosts in the States. But yeah, most of his comments and interviews are like this, or more annoying.
Billy Connolly really is an incredibly loveable guy.
Watch the movie strange fruit, he narrates the whole thing, you'll love it

Billy is one of the few guests that Conan just hangs on their every word, it's awesome to watch these interviews
Connelly looks like he could be the 5th member of Black Sabbath.
grey sabbath
Looks like a grey Tony Iommi
Statutory Grape you could have replaced Bill Ward with him and no one would have noticed
that would've been awesome
Or the sixth member of Stealer's Wheel.....
He's like the scottish hippie version of John Cleese.
Wow yes , It just hit me earlier today, they do look alike!
I've never seen them in the same room.
Billy is the exact opposite of Cleese.
@Stugna Bulah, sorry, not even close.
"Acting your age is like acting your street number", I LOVE that.
He should just record a audio-book that goes on for 5 days, i'd buy it in a heartbeat.
I could listen to this man's stories all day.

I wish Robin Williams would have called Billy on that day.
+Erlyk Dalkien I think I read somewhere, that Robin called him the day before or something and Billy said in an interview that he thinks Robin was trying to say goodbye because he said "I love you" to Billy...
+miruna268 That's heartbreaking
miruna268 Yes, I think I heard Bill say that on Marc Maron 's podcast.
He is a gift and a legend in the comedy business
I love you Billy Connolly.
Happy Birthday Billy. May you have many, many, more. Bless you sir. You have made me laugh for decades and for that I thank you because laughter in the end is important.

I'm only 39 and I'm starting to develop those "involuntary noises".
lmao omg my abs are burning... wow. havent laughed this hard in so long
+Yair Gutierrez that's billy..legit goat
I'm still in my teens and I make those "heavy lifting involuntary noises". Should I be worried?
short answer yes with an 'if'. long answer no with a 'but'.
ruispuuro Why yes, I saw that Simpson's episode too.
Never be worried.
No, you're just acting someone else's age.
Sounds like captn' Haddocks voice, what an amazing guy Mr. Connolly is...
Now nearly 40, I totally get it. Nose hair, involuntary noises, aches and pains in areas that didn’t before. And don’t get me started about the grey pubic hair 😂

That accent is awesome

He is the best.
He looks incredible!
Pure love him 😂

He is the best ever he is keeks me alive
Iv'e sold him an ice cream before
Congratulations you have an extremely rare anecdote for future purposes :)
+Obie wan Jabronie Did the ice cream get caught in his ferocious nose hair?
Billy has slowed down with age but his comedy is better than ever. Come back to Aus Billy! Missed you last time around.
I don't care that he SPOILER in Boondock Saints II, he NEEDS to be in the third one. He's like Rocco, there's no BDS without him! :-D
Speaking of which, Sean Patrick Flanery does the best Billy Connolly impressions, hahah
What a great sense of humor does this man have.
Everything he says is just a Muppet Treasure Island flashback haha
+Aidan Walker Jim Jimmy Jim Jim Jim
+Aidan Walker ahahah gald i was not the only one
Who's the other guest?
Kate Walsh
instant spine tingle reading that
Happy Birthday Billy!!
I think there's a physical similarity (when he has no beard) and they are both incredibly funny.
And shepherds we shall be, for thee my lord for thee
This is gold
When I'm thirty-seven, I'm going to feel seventy; already feel sixty or something, so good for him
aaaaah jaaaaysus
Still the greatest comedian ever.
A Glasgow man living to 70 is some achievment.
Funniest comedian ever!
Laughed so hard XD
70? BULLSHIT
He's amazing
and theres 70 views, the symbolism is off the charts
Yeah that's true. My family just ages well lol.
Looking forward to seeing him in The Hobbit: There and Back Again!
Crying laughing at the involuntary noises.
Billy Connolly Just Turned 70 - CONAN
It's sad that soon after this his health would start to really badly decline
Pop Land blame it on Brexit
And Robin Williams. What's up with actors/comedians and welding?
LMAO, me too, can barely see now :D
couldn't stop laughing :-)
I hope I'm half this cool when I'm 70.
4:06 SHE HAS 3 LEGS?!?!
He looks like a 70 year old Jim Morrison haha
go for 80 dude
Go for 90
exited to see him play dain in the hobbit.
He should team up with Nathan Fillion to weld something together.
does anyone else not find it really satisfying to pull out those fine white ingrown hairs....or is it just me?
Long nose hair is an adaptation to deal with greater amounts of pollution in our cities. People in cities have more&longer nose hair. Not funny but true :P Also,love you Big yin. Dont ever change :)
MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND! Thumbs up if you love that movie!
He did this bit on Parkinson's last show.
International treasure
hes like old norm mcdonald =)
...Is it just me, or does he remind of John Cleese?
he looks like betty white
it's weird to think that it'll take another 10 years before i've been around for half as long as he has, and he might not even be here by then :|
he is
hahaha well played
well essentially youre saying "nothing bless his heart". =p
In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
Who's the woman sat next to Billy?
Kate Walsh
hes turned into ozzy ozborne
He's 70... Looks a lot older than that
He looks your age, just your hair is white
Does he have a banjo or a key tattooed on his left hand there?
didn't see it but its most likely a banjo as he used to play one in a band when he was younger.
Tis a banjo sir
A banjo. He told Craig Ferguson he should've had it done on his knee.
I don't find Conan funny at all, but he's one of the biggest tv show hosts in the States. But yeah, most of his comments and interviews are like this, or more annoying.
Maybe the purpose of long nasal hair is to filter out all that asbestos :-P
wash hand basin
Heeeee's funny.
im 24 and i also have a gray hair that grows in my forehead and i just found god
on his forehead
24 dipsticks.
jesus christ how do you get cocaine up your nose when you've got gobs of hair in the way?
I'm 19 and I get long forehead hairs.
70? really?! he looks about 50 or 45. he doesn't look that old.
Yes a very poignant moment
he's an atheist, makes that scene weird
what?

Jesus conan is unfunny
