Fr❤ RIP

News of his death passed me by. I guess cos of Covid. But he had a good innings. 93 is a ripe old age.

Dude!!! James Lipton is (was) a BOSS!!! I LOVED THE WAY HE QUESTIONED HIS GUESTS!!!

what u gay or somethin?

Back in the day he was a real pimp too.. fact

Yea, exceptional parents make exceptional people.

O​@@everquestfan

@@everquestfanobviously that isn’t always the truth

James Lipton was a master at interviewing people. At first, I couldn’t stand his style, as it seemed pretentious. I finally got it and enjoyed every interview he ever did.

And get a free comedy show while at it

I hope they post the rest of it. Thanks for adding the date.

13:14 He lights a cigarette and I had to stop and find out how old this was lol

👏👏👏

Who is we? Do you have a mouse in your pocket or something?

@@chriswebster24 don't worry, you're not included 😀

If you haven't already find the full interview. Outstanding

Exactly who or what is he superior to?

​@@gundog7199 I'm wondering the same thing, especially knowing he's amongst inferior comics who've stolen Owen Benjamin's bits. Superior people don't do things like that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

James Lipton put everyone at ease. I literally relax upon hearing his voice, and become interested in people I'd otherwise dismiss out of hand. Dude just gives off the vibe of "alright, sit down, we're gonna get into some shit, its going to be mellow".

Oprah too! 🥰

Excellent bucket list. Imma steal your top 2 but I would like to reverse how I meet them. ❤

You silly. But my head would too

You’re so brave kimosabe

Dude, just say it. You want a famous black co…

@@technomarineco sorry to shut you down from your inappropriate and uncalled for comment but that is not my cup of tea. Evidently it is yours though because you thought to say it to me. Good luck with that. I wish you well

I loved this show. He is missed for sure

It was the only talk show that was worth watching. Carson for sure but Lipton was the best. He was able to bring things out of those people better than anyone else.

@@sethwetzel974 Carson was entertainment, Lipton was a conversational documentary.

no one did it better!

I loved Will Farell’s impression of Lipton on SNL. It’s quite a contrast of styles between Chapelle and Lipton but it makes for great entertainment

It was 2 years later but I understand the confusion since for some strange reason they've never started their own youtube channel they have never made their episodes except for a very select few easy to buy. Lipton did 269 episodes before he died and they are all being held hostage on a terrible platform most people around the world can't get access to half the time doesn't even work properly even with a VPN and they constantly switch between having the original cut and extended cut which makes no sense.

i always thought everybody remembered being that age or younger...i certainly do. i think its spose to be the normal human condition. inadequate enviromental factors like food or clean air might cause such problems of memory loss. have you listen to terence howard talk about what he remembers?....now that's something special.

How normal is it for a 39 year old to vividly remember various occasions that stemmed back before my first birthday including the very day that I turned 1. I remember waking up from my nap and crawling out of my crib by sliding up and over the high railing and sliding down into the floor. I walked to the door of my room and looked down the hallway and saw my grandmother setting in a wicker chair and when she saw me she said”well there’s the birthday boy”. Sounds pretty cliche but I remember it so vividly. I could do my ABC’s and speak full sentences in reverse before I even knew the ABC’s in proper form. When I say I can speak in reverse, you can record what I say and reverse it and to a pretty astounding measure, it sounds extremely close to how we say it normally when it’s reversed. With a few exceptions to words that are nearly impossible to speak in reverse because of the way certain things roll off your tongue. Maybe only a backwards talker would understand. I hope nobody thinks I’m exaggerating because this couldn’t be more true.

Dave worked as an usher at Ford's Theater in about 1993.

😂😂😂

And breaks my that it didn't last.

Because those that control won’t let it last, they want us at each other’s throats. Great observation.

I agree with you 💯

I hear people say this, and after seeing him at Rupp Arena live last year,I have to disagree.The Dave you are seeing now is the real Dave.He still smokes like freight train.He still has that same brilliant timing with his jokes.He is just older and wiser and healthier.Its definitely Dave

who amongst us hasn't changed over the course of 18 years? Growth. Evolution. Life.

Have you heard of the Rwandan genocide?? 😶‍🌫️😳

What in the hell did marinuana have to do with the raw and an genocide?

Gun store liquor store gun store liquor store etc. hahaha but I disagree about dope it really depends on the person there are non violent people only like to drink and dance and violent people that like to attack someone than go get high afterwards and Hitler didn't drink or smoke war itself was his drug of choice. Pot makes many people drowsy though so yeah kills motivation if you just want to sleep. Lots of people like both booze and drugs too.

@@annalisavajda252 Hitler was on meth. I'm not kidding.

Everybody's voice changes character when they age, especially if they smoke. The smart ones also get a bit thicker as they try to preserve their muscle mass. And when you get money, it sometimes occurs to you to get your teeth fixed. There's only one Dave Chappelle but it's all the same guy.

@@MrMZaccone What you're saying has no merit. I've been smoking since 11yrs old (40yrs), my voice hasn't changed,my weight has been steady since I was 18, and the size of my skull is still the same size.

@@johnnymejia2407 That just tells me about you. It tells me nothing about Dave Chapelle. The trends I described have statistical validity. The current Dave Chapelle is the same Dave Chapelle in the video unless you want to deal with the fact that vast numbers of cells in the human body are replaced regularly. None of us are exactly the same collection of cells we were years ago but the idea that Dave Chapelle has somehow been replaced with a clone or other nonsense? THAT'S what "has no merit."

@@MrMZaccone We can only agree to disagree. Peace my brotha.

Ye..who else would he be lol

What are you talking about? Have you seen all the new netflix specials? He lost temporarily but came out on top.

@@Brett_S_420 exactly

Why wud it matter, time or ur own eyes 👀

It implies in this he has already visited and returned from Africa. Assuming he was out of the country during season three, which would have been ‘05,think it safe to assume this interview took place sometime during the year 2006. My best ballpark guess.

@@user-cl7uq8se4tyou are correct, it was in 2006.

👆👆

I was going to say 2006, right after block party…..
