Aren't we lucky to have this interview just months before this beautiful, gentle, massively talented soul passed on.

Watching his interview makes me realize how incredibly humble and nice he was. Love his music. May God receive him in his arms.

I was fortunate to work 3 of his Concerts with a Production Company who helped setup Stage, PA, and Lighting and and met him and talk to him for a few minutes at each show, always the kind type and was an amazing experience. I Still have my Crew Pass and he always would talk to everyone working the shows for a few mins. He also would have everyone gather together about 90 before the show and do a Prayer and Dinner like a family. Marvin was an incredible person with so much talent his concerts was amazing and perhaps the more professional individual to ever work with. Thank you (Meat) sendingPrayers to all his Family, Friends, Band past to present, and fellow Fans.

I saw Meatloaf Live ln concert 20 years ago at West Newcastle , NSW , Australia . He is without doubt one of the greats . When the sound system failed midway through the show he sang A cappella until repairs were completed , his rich voice filled the enormous hall with such clarity , warmth and power and was delivered so precisely that this was easily the highlight of the evening ! . An incredible performance ! . RIP Meatloaf , your music is immortal .

I really appreciate how the 'guvnor' lets his guests speak and doesn't try to control the interviewee.

One of my favorite artists. Grew up in the late 70's and early 80's listening to him. Still listening today.

Just heard Meat Loaf passed away. Had to watch this interview to honor him. Amazing how he seems to include everyone in the room as he tells his story. He will be missed.

Thanks to the host for not interrupting. Makes a nice change.

I could listen to Meatloaf's stories all day.

The five dollar bill ripped into three parts? All I can say is, two outta three ain't bad.

Meat Loaf just died. I immediately recalled this meticulous retelling of the day JFK was assassinated through his eyes as a teenager growing up in Dallas. You can identify how his mastery at worldbuilding within his songs is weaved straight from the fabric of his memories. May his memory be eternal! 🦉

Binging on Meat Loaf since I learned of his passing. So much I had no idea about and listened again to the magical moments he put out there. We will miss this talent.

Amazing story. Huckabee is a great Host, he let's his guest actually speak without interruption or taking over the conversation.

What a genuine guy...seems humble and just as easy to talk to as your best friend...good for Meatloaf - I love him even more now !!

RIP Meat Loaf, a tremendously talented and unique performer.

He’s a true Texan, the story starts, takes multiple off ramps, returns to story. My wife said he sounds like you.

Amazing story and to think he was only 16 years old when that happened to him.

I was born in 1960 in Texas, and my mom said we just came in from shopping, and I had just turned on the TV to watch cartoons when they announced the shooting.

RIP Meat Loaf Last performance I saw of him before his passing today He should be inducted posthumously into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

This is a classic interview! RIP Meatloaf! Never another one like him.

I had no idea that Meatloaf was so funny or had such an interesting career. Thank you, Governor, for doing this interview. I laughed until I cried. P.S. You would have been a great President.

Meatloaf is a good time. Huckabee has some of the best guest in talk show history. These rock stars are the ones I grew up listening to back in the 80's. I love this show.

Lovely story teller, absolute legendary performer. Rest easy Meat, you've earned it

I went to the same high school (Thomas Jefferson) at the same time although I didn't know Meatloaf since he was a couple of years older. The Catholic kids were excused if they wanted to go see JFK. I was in a car-pool with some Catholic kids so I went with them to Love Field and saw the President and Jackie arrive and leave in the motorcade. We weren't hijacked by secret service and didn't know what else to do so went back to school. I remember how excited I was to tell everyone I had seen JFK and how confused I was when everyone told me he was already dead. "But I just saw him." Latter that day they arrested Oswald and the news reported they had found a Mauser rifle in the Book Depository. By the next day they were saying it was a Mannlicher-Carcano, the first time I ever heard of such a rifle. We were friends with people who worked in Henry Wade's D.A. office and O'Neill's funeral home and so I heard a lot of strange things over the following months. When the Warren Report came out the following year I tended to believe it. Today I realize it was a total whitewash to make people stop asking inconvenient questions. It didn't work.

"Its all coming back to me now" Meatloaf. I was in the 5th grade in Austin Elementary School in Odessa Texas when we got the tragic news from our teacher. Mrs Albright, I remember it well.

I can just imagine how many OTHER great stories he has. Such a humble man he is. Loved it! Thanks for that interview Mike Huckabee

The distraught little girl on the front of every newspaper in the world after JFK was shot, was my neighbor for a couple years. KATHEY ATKINSON wrote a book called Grief of a Nation. I still have my autographed copy. She had quite a story. She was a beautiful person inside and out. Her life partner was Gary Tweedy and he was a interesting guy too... RIP My friend...

I never imagined Meat Loaf to be such a story teller. This guy is riveting.

Love Meatloaf, didn’t realize his past was so interesting!

I remember..5th grade and did a skit on the flash news. Mother cried and the country came to a screeching halt .

I met Meat Loaf when I was on the concert committee in college. His band had an extensive rider with the contract, and we did our best to fill it at our rural college. When it came time for the group to eat, Meat Loaf personally invited our team in, saying how professional venues often don’t fulfill the rider as well as we did, and that he wanted us to sit down and eat with him! He was genuine and took time to talk with each of us a bit, as the team was largely comprised of music majors.

Such a very nice, very humble, and kind hearted man. Made me smile. May you rest in peace with the angels.

Meatloaf is one of rock'n'roll's greatest.

Meat Loaf is just an amazing guy. A true one of a kind artist.

It's so sad to see Meat's health declining even back in September. He had been fighting medical issues for a long time. RIP KING!

Meat loaf was a HUGE part of my childhood. Dad used to blast his cassette tapes in the jeep while we were out jeeping in the mountians. I still jam out to his music all the time.

I remember Meat Loaf when he was on The Apprentice and he was such an amiable guy. So he was on the future President's show. Wow. What an interesting career. Thanks for the great music, Meatloaf and thank you Mr. Huckabee for having him on. God 🙏🙏🙏

I totally enjoyed this video!!! . Thank-you for posting!!

A great singer and actor with a wonderful theatrical style. I am going to miss him so much.

Wow, to lose this amazing man is so sad. He had such a presence just singing a song and anyone watching him can see the extreme passion and authentic emotions. We don't have many of these kinds of singers left who you can almost see their souls as they perform.

We were remembering your character in Rocky Horror Picture Show. Good job.

One of the best interviews I've ever seen! God bless Meat Loaf, governor Huckabee and all of you reading this too! 🤗😀

I was seven and was sent home to a locked house as my mother was a teacher.I cried on my porch alone and never forgot it

I just LOVE how sharp and generous he is with detail. I bet many don't appreciate how long it takes him to tell a story but "real recognizes real" as they say and this guy's as real as it gets. Much love!

I remember very well where I was. I was about 5 years old, riding my bouncing horse with springs. My mom was ironing clothes and watching tv. She started crying and got really upset. It was a sad day.

I was 13, in the eighth grade. They called us in from free time after lunch. My mother was literally sick in bed the next weekend. I never saw her sick before. Devastating what we have learned about our government since then.

He had a good sense of humour, that's important in life

You don’t expect such humility and grace from a rock idol. RIP Meat Loaf, we were lucky to be entertained by your spectacular talent and showmanship. Will always love you Meat.

My very FIRST memory in life, was laying on the couch and my dad changing my diaper, while my mother stood by the television 📺 sobbing at the assassination of JFK.

I remember. We were stationed in Charleston, SC at the time, and my dad who was in SAC (USAF) started yelling at the TV in disbelief and cried when Kennedy died. My father was a loadmaster and he flew on the plane that transported the bubble top, clothing, etc. for President Kennedy. One of the secret service guys was ALWAYS flying in the back with the President's car. He gave my dad a tie clasp of the PT109......I still have that clasp.

Loved Meat since 80’s. He was Such a good guy. He never got The respect like other musicians did and he should have!

Makes me appreciate and admire Meatloaf even more than I already did! And I just LOVE stories like those he told!...

It just goes to show that God takes care of us even when we make bad choices. He always has our back.

I would love to just sit and listen to Meat tell the stories of his life. He is an amazing singer!

I love this interview. May be the best celebrity interview I ever watched.

Mr. Loaf seems like a wonderful man with a great personality, so sad to hear of his passing.........I'm sure he lived full life with never a dull moment. RIP brother.

He looks better now than he did 40 years ago...love his music, brings back great memories

I’ve always liked Meat Loaf, but now even more so. Great interview!

Omgoodness now I want to look up EVERY Meatloaf interview! What a storyteller with many stories! 💗

I could listen to meatloafs stories all day long 😂 amazing 🤩

Meatloaf is an icon will stay around for ever.

I was in 2nd grade and my teacher was crying and we were sent home from school My mother was crying when I got home. I knew something horrible and dreadful happened

I love that storyline. You just never know the doors God opens until you let him lead you.

He's gone. This amazing man. Rest peacefully Meatloaf.

Great 👍🏾 Interview Mike. Fascinating stories like Meatloaf's keeps me coming back! 🙏🏿🇺🇲🙏🏿

When JFK was assassinated. I was in elementary school and 8 years old. It came over the PA speaker that we were told to go home. When I got home my mom said "why are you here?" I said President Kennedy was killed. She didn't believe me so I turned on the TV and sure enough it was on the news. She broke down in tears.

This was a real treat to hear Meatloaf’s start.Thank you.

I saw Meat perform in the National Lampoon “Lemmings” tour at my college (SUNY, Geneneso, NY) in 1975 and he just blew us away! Not long after he had his first album.

Love this guy he’s such a real perfectionist! His music is pure heart ,

Call him a movie star!!! He was Eddie in Rocky Horror picture show.

Great admiration for this man. His music is timeless and he is so humble

I didn’t know he was a Christian. Nice man. GOD bless your “Mr Loaf”

I was 12, at home, I wrote in my diary. I cried when that adorable little boy saluted, not really knowing what was going on.

Meat Loaf is The GOAT!

It's great he was interviewed on Huckabee. Great interview. Great showman & performer. Humble, Legend.

What a humble guy. Miss you Meatloaf. But you are for sure in a better place than we are. Thanks for the jam ~ kimie

I don’t really remember as I was 9 months old but something extreme must have happened at my house as I get chills and cry every time it comes on tv.

I was just thinking of him today this is too funny. I was thinking of his famous song, "will love me forever."

Thank you for letting him tell this whole story.

I was able to meet him back in October, we actually talked about this story and the $5 bill that he and his friends split. He was such a nice guy.

Meatloaf is a legend, great singer and story teller 👍🏻👍🏻❤

I have been a fan of his since The Rocky Horror Picture Show, didn't like the movie all that much but his part of it was fantastic.

Absolutely super interesting interview.

“The World is Alright, The People Make it Bad.” RIP Meatloaf. Akal Akal Akal

This show has really shown how great a president Huckabee would have been.

Those were 2 great stories! I would love to hear more from him.

I saw him in 2015. After the 1st song he received a standing ovation. From then on everyone remained standing. The energy in that room was electrifying.

Huckabee is great!!!! And he let's his guests speak.

I seen Meatloaf at the Hard Rock in Vegas in 2010 .... he put on a "High Energy" non stop two hour show and played all his hits ... I was Second Row Centre about 12 feet away from him .... it was "Awesome" ... he has lost a lot of weight and looks kinda frail right now ... I hope he is doing well ... great stories .... I'm a fan ... grew up with his music ...

I was in Yokota Air Force Base in Japan that day I was 10 years old in the 4th grade. Still have the Stars and Stripes newspaper. Very sad day in history.

If you like hearing Meat Loaf tell stories his autobiography is an amazing read.

What a legend RIP big man.Nobody will ever be as good as you. You will be truly missed by all your followers but your music will last for eternity.

Rights, Laws, and Liberty got usurped due to the majority of Americans not knowing WHO these are from [These were never from The U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights per se]. “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on The Gospel of Jesus Christ." [Patrick Henry, US Founder]

Funny as a hoot too

I love Meatloaf! I have since I was a young girl. This interview is incredible! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I thank you for sharing.

RIP Meatloaf, thanks for all the great music and movies! Love and peace

Now that's a Testament! By the way, I was on the playground when our principal announced the Presidents death & everyone started crying. I was in 3rd. grade.

Now that is exactly how the favor of God works in our lives, no effort on our part, and no planning by us. Just waking around in His goodness all the day long

RIP, Meat Loaf. One of my favorites.

I would have never expected this man here to die 3 months later. Strange how life can end so unexpectedly. 😕
