Being an American, I feel cheated that I didn't get to see Paul Hogan until Crocodile Dundee. I always wondered about him and his life, being genuinely funny in such a natural manner. Thank you for this.

"That's not a knife - this is a knife" is one of those iconic lines that will live on forever (like "You're gonna need a bigger boat", and "make my day").

Best thing about this guy is the way he still embraces the character that made him instead of crying about being typecasted

Good to see Paul definitely impacted Australia and the world He's brought smiles to billions

Because of Croc Dundee....I fell in love the the NT. I eventually moved there & set up a Business that lasted 25yrs. Thanks Hoges!

"Sort of mum's fourth child." She summed it up perfectly. This trait was key to Paul's success. I'm glad he's still with us and can celebrate Christmas for another year with his family. I love the Aussie humor. Totally unique in its contribution to the world's humor to soften the blows of life.

Despite getting old myself... it makes it hard to see Legends like Hoges getting older. Such a beautiful man, honest and well centered. I thank him for my laughs and will Love him forever :)

Australian legend. "That's not a knife..... that's a knife," Handsome, charismatic maverick who's unforgettable. Wish him good health and peace. Digress : RIP, Steve Irwin. Another enigmatic larger-than-life Australian who touched the world with his passion for wild-life.

When I was in Australia in the 1970s new friends exposed me to Paul Hogan's TV show. I still have never laughed so hard in my life. Not long after my return home Crocodile Dundee hit the big screen. I saw it in a packed theater and, because I knew the "lingo" and culture, more than once busted out laughing only to discover I was the only one. I was picking up on things the rest of the now laughing & looking at me audience hadn't. Hang in there Hoges & a good on ya mate for all of the joy & laughter you've brought the world.

Paul and his son were on a flight with me from LA to Sydney 6 years ago. I didn't get to talk to him since he was on the upper deck but I was thrilled to see him. If not for him and Crocodile Dundee, I probably wouldn't be visiting Australia in the first place!

Great to see a guy as humble as he is and realizes how lucky he is as well.

In the UK Paul was so different, so original and so damn funny. And came across as such a normal genuine bloke, we love him as much as the Aussies do !

So ...Paul Hogan actually had/started the first reality TV show! He was a big part of my childhood and as an American he made me LOVE Australians!!

He was cool & so laid back he was almost in reverse. We Yanks loved him

Wow, I've always wondered about him... I still have Crocodile Dundee movies on VHS! Man, I'd love to see his show. The excerpts that I've seen are funny and I like it. I am happy to see him at this time in his life. Awesome Paul! Thank you.

What a great Australian. I remember watching him on television when I was a kid and laughing my head off. There will never be another Paul Hogan

Loved his show in the 70's. Great ambassador for Australia and a truly funny guy. It seems the most appealing celebs are always the ones who don't lose sight of humility and are relatable as honest, down to earth people. So glad Delvene was a big part of this. Same is true for her. Good people.

I remember this guy vividly. I think he's the one who raised the awareness and popularity of Australia. Yeah gadday mate!

Since the 70's every Aussie male has the World over been defined by Paul Hogan. He is Australia, and fantastically so.

Just what we needed to see. A REAL sense of humor.

Fantastic memories. I had the good fortune to come to Aus in 1964, my mother is a Melbourne girl so it was an invitation to a different world having been raised in Canada. So these guys on the television and the very friendly people of sydney burned a nice on my brain. Cheers Sydney what a nice town.

Paul looks almost younger than his son. Still going great. Absolute legend.

English guy here, Paul Hogan is a legend, grew up with crocodile Dundee, really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing.

“So it is a bit sexist......I apologize to the men.”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you Paul Hogan.

"That's not a knife, that's a knife" remembered it quite well, good ol' 80's movies. Something I didn't know, like an Aussie Benny Hill :)

Loved Paul Hogan. Funny man, good actor. He was perfect for the time he dominated.

“So it is a bit sexist, and I apologise to the men.” Brilliant 👏

The first time I ever saw Paul was the commercials we had in the US for the Australia tourism board. He was instantly likable.

I was surfing KZfaq and ran across this video. Wow, am I happy I found this. This is a fantastic documentary. Part 1.

What a legend. Grew up watching him in the 90s

Paul Hogan is one of my all time favorite people to ever walk this earth!

a genuine aussie bloke

I knew nothing about this mans career but absolutely loved him in Crocodile Dundee movies. Thanks for this! I’ve liked, shared and subbed.

Never realized how old he was when Crocodile Dundee was filmed...always reminded me of Greg Norman in a way

Top bloke loved his stuff, but for me Delvene deserves her own tribute. A very lovely lady, John Cornell is a lucky man.

I laughed harder than I have in ...I don't remember !! I LOVE that humor and it's based in reality, not that crap they call funny today. Women who are comfortable with themselves aren't offended by the truth.

I think we used to be people that were grown up enough to enjoy this type of humor... and today people are stepping backwards... not being able to tell the difference between fiction and reality.

Well, now I know why that was such a beautiful love story which apparently evolved organically from the script which wasn't at all about a love story. It wasn't acting. Paul was the coolest quick wit, like a macho handsome Benny Hill and Linda was really adorable adoring him.

He never sought out fame and it just came to him as if he were just that quintessential funny guy EVERYONE new in school or their social circle. He never had to "sell" Australia to the Americans, he was endearing himself to us here at home. We used to cross the bridge regularly travelling from Coogee to Umina and we always had a look for him on the bridge for many of those year's. He did succeed in ultimately bringing more of an understanding of our national identity to not only the U.S.A. but the world. I never saw Crocodile Dundee until it was on TV one night at a mate's place in 1989! Seeing my friend's son's light up as we had seeing him at it as he'd done right throughout his TV just made me not only laugh hard, but afterwards, we got into telling the boy's about this, what was the now of his totally, uniquely Paul Hogan character and it just dawned on me all over again of how proud we were to be Australian, clear of the "cultural cringe" we'd faced with the "tall poppy" syndrome claiming and disowning so much of what we loved about ourselves reflected bsck at us in the form of this iconic Aussie larrikin and folk hero. We smoked and nearly died from 'Winnie Blue's' and watched it all, laughing SO hard at him as us all, from "pink snd black to win", "let her rip Boris" to Mick Dundee. The tax office and their bloody witch - hunt of not so long ago is the is the only cultural cringe we ever felt and it was a feeling of shame and disgust in our government we in my family felt, while just loving the grin on Paul Hogan's face as he weathered the storm. I think everyone my age carry Paul Hogan in our hearts and minds as we grew up with him and his not so meteoric yet steadily, hard earned place in Australian comedy legend. "Anyhow, have a ........ " NOT!!!

Seeing the tourist ads in America really made a huge impact. An understatement.

Love this guy. Thats not a knife this is a knife. Australia. Great people.

A younger more upbeat Benny Hill. Beautiful humour. Bless and thanx

Paul - thank you so much for all the joy you made for mio. of people around the world !!!. YOU are a wonderful person! ! May God bless & protect you !

Thank you Paul for being humble and allowing the camera's to capture your personality.

Pump your breaks, kid. That man’s a national treasure.

Paul Hogan is a genuine treasure a good bloke.

I love his humbleness and modesty, and more so for the fact it never comes across as false humility. He really does believe that he's no-one special, I think that's part of his charisma and likeability. No airs or graces and no judgement, and he's amazingly grateful and graceful about his fame, no sense of entitlement about him. Shame he's not the role model for more people in Hollywood and the associated industry. Good on you, mate :)

We absolutely loved Paul Hogan, and still do. The Aussies are wonderful people.

When he's zipped his fly up with that lady's hair in it I have never laughed harder than that. True comedy..

Paul Hogan! I’ve heard great stories about he’s generosity to crew members on his movies! Top Man!

In my childhood this guy was a total badass I hope you're relaxing and enjoying life thank you for some great memories

Respect to the older generation for making Australia such a great place to live.

paul was a genius at being himself .

This man is absolutely hilarious Always had me laughing ⚘

l lived in New York for 6 years around the same time that the Travel adds for visiting Australia came out. lt was the best 6 years ever and with my Australian voice l used it to my full advantage and everyone over there loved it.

One of the best things that ever came out of Australia

Paul Hogan isn't just smart, but he's also humble about it. He well may say: "I was just really good at doing IQ tests, but I'm not "really" clever". Now with actors, because they're so good at reading scripts, you can never actually tell one way or the other. But the evidence is always in how well they interview when they go off script. And with some actors or musical popstars, you just cringe when you watch them doing an interview. And they're basically just boring and/or pompous. With Paul, he always has something meaningful to say, and he's always interesting, (without being pompous). And the fact that he's also funny, is just an added bonus and the icing on the cake. That's why everyone wants to be just like him. Funny, smart, insightful about the human condition, (without being too pompous about it), a down to earth bloke and also someone who is really humble about their talents.

They were absolutely correct in thinking that their tourism commercials would be memorable, cuz I was a young kid when those were being shown here in the States, and I remember em to this day....

Ill never forget the Paul hogan show,sitting down with my dinner and my dad was a chronic alcoholic and the 1hr of the night we could relax and be together like a proper family...he had this magic about the show that everyone could relate too...I'm proud Australian and in hind sight wen looking back the Aussies had pure Australian TV like copshop,prisoner etc ....could go on forever but paulhoganshow captivated everyone on every scale...from been a child at age 8 or 9,all thru to grandparents....he had it all simple statements straight to the point no faaarking around....how time passes! 💯 👍👍👍

Crocodile Dundee is a classic masterpiece

Paul, America loves you! Keep it up buddy! I have been to your country and you Aussies are some real friendly folk!

Good to see Paul relatively recently. I have wondered what happened to him since he basically disappeared from life, glad to see he's in pretty good health.

I wish they would show repeats of the Paul Hogan show . So funny. Everyone needs cheering up and he is the one to do it.

Having been a teen in the 80's, this was totally awesome to watch!!

Even in his old age he remains true to his Croc character, in a very touching way. Cent'anni!!!

What a great story. Thank you.

That man is a world treasure

he always seemed like a nice guy to me...loved him as Mick Dundee...an will watch Crocodile Dundee when it comes on tv!...

This man is awesome! It was fun to be able to laugh at ourselves and others and no one took offence. I can't understand how we created a bunch of pansies?!? Thank you Mr. Hogan for all the laughs ;)

Delvene Delaney is a hell of a woman. Absolutely gorgeous (then and now), married to the same guy for 44 years, and when that guy's health fails, sticks by him. Damn....do they make 'em like that anymore?

@ 23:28, I was instantly teleported back in time while still in my youth! I remember the first time I viewed those "good-day" commercials supporting, Australian tourism & recall telling my folks that I simply had to visit ! Of course my father's response was the typical,..."well,when you're an adilt, making your own money, realizing it doesn't grow on trees, you can go wherever you want...!" Needless to say, I've [still] never had the chance to visit those lovely Australian people & their most beautiful countrysides but I hope & I dream that perhaps "my ship will too come in one day!" I can promise y'all this, it hasn't been due to the lack of not working very hard & trying. That's all I've done since the age of 9...😉 Mr. Hogan's story in this here video was/is such a magnificent portrayal of his ride to stardom. Your average person with with an incredible posture on life. I simply adored this video & I thank those with whom assembled this for us all to enjoy ! Love & Light to you all out there in KZfaq Land ! 😉 💜 🍀 👻 🎶

Crocodile Dundee and part 2, two of my favorite movies.

i love paul hogan great movies .almost an angel one of my favorites

Pump your brakes kid, the man is a national treasure.

The funny thing is that at first glance this guy never strike me like a tough guy but he plays his rol so convincingly well that at the end you beleive it.

The first movie I saw at a drive in was with my parents in SA and it was Crocodile Dundee. Now I live in USA occasionally someone will bring it up and even if its not popular to say it, I loved it. Paul Hogan is an Aussie icon, there's no changing that.

My absolute hero. I adore this man. ❤

absolutely no one has ever done the Oscars to even come close to his genius,he's marvelous its on utube,check it out

I worked as a video tape editor on "A Current Affair with Mike Willisee" for TCN 9 in Sydney (very early 70's) when they brought me the OB video tapes of some guy who was a rigger on the Harbour Bridge...we all stood around the old huge Ampex VTR and were gob smacked..the guy was VERY, VERY funny and totally a 'fair dinkum' Aussie!..the producers couldn't wait to give him a recurring role as an interviewer...the rest is history

When I moved to Australia from the USA I shared a house with a small group of Australians. I saw the Paul Hogan show and after 30 minutes I told my housemates this guy is one funny guy ... too bad he couldn't get a chance on American media ... years later he did and made a small fortune ... sadly he was lost to us down under. ... One funny guy!

I think everybody feels that way about a lawnmower every now and then.

Bankstown, Greenacre... yeah mate I lived there in the 60s, and To say Hogys sexist comedy, when Benny Hill was all the Rage, give him a fair go. He did more for. A cool Aussie image than the Bridge he worked on with my Dad. ..

I loved Paul Hogan and first saw him on Crocodile Dundee as most Americans, and after those films he sorta disappeared. Would like to see him in more movies.

The people I've met from Australia have been really nice and fun people

I remember watching the Paul Hogan show as a youngster in the UK, remember the "hot legs" skit vividly

I remember back in the 80's when my Dad bought one of those 8 ft satellite TV dishes that you stuck out in your yard. Everything was free, and you got all kinds of shows. One of the funniest was the Paul Hogan show. The other was the John Byner Comedy Hour.

Good to see him out and about. I really like his character

I watched his tv program before he made Crocodile Dundee. I enjoyed it. Like Benny Hill but the Aussie version.

What A fairdinkum great story that was , loved watching Hoges, an Aussie icon

Really enjoyed this episode thanks, Tuning in to part 2 :)

Back in 82 a new TV channel (Channel 4) started up here in the United Kingdom which aired The Paul Hogan Show and unbeknown to me my dad watched it too,me upstairs and him in the front room and it was one of if not the funniest show on TV at that time outside of the UK. He did this one sketch where he played a skateboarder and visited a hospital and to this day I’ve never laughed so hard at one sketch constantly over the years as i have at that. First time i knew my dad was a fan was when he suggested we go and see Crocodile Dundee at the cinema. After that we’d sit and watch the show together and laugh our arses off every week.

Loved his comedy show. Loved his croc movies (just the first 2). Ohh how times have changed.....FOR THE WORST!!!

Man I love this guy! LEGEND

Everyone likes Paul. He's got the stuff.

Paul Hogan is a Top Guy. Love how Humble and down to Earth he is. Crocodile Dundee is s classic!!😊😍😎👏

He was 76 years old in 2015,during that,"Hoge:One Night Only",broadcast.

"Was it sexism? Yeah, but it was done without malice." In that case, it's just appreciation. Someone else is pointing at it and calling it "sexist" when they ought to simply be saying "I don't like this."

Such a great guy is Paul!

My strongest memory of Hoges is that skit he did of the giant yobbo walking across the roof of skyscrapers and dropping tinnies and thongs on the people below. My mother rolled around on the floor crying with laughter.

I remember the New Faces that Hoges was on like it was yesterday. The garbage bin with his props inside caught our attention and his performance was funny too. I can't remember what he did only that it was hilarious.
