Eleven-year-old Jeff Cohen, one of the young stars of the beloved 1980s children's action-adventure comedy The Goonies, discusses meeting Steven Spielberg ("just another Jewish boy") and impresses Terry Wogan with his impersonations of Louis Armstrong and Mae West.
Terry Wogan - that beloved BBC institution and future Knight of the Realm and Freeman of Limerick - mocks the child's physique and threatens to beat him up. We're pretty sure he was joking, but it's fair to say that this is an interview very much "of its time". How could you Sir Terry?!

Still i love both of these guys, rip Tony. Good job Jeff, helf his own, not only that did it in an awesome way. Guess is it was a different time.
