He has never broken character 🤣🤣🤣

It's funny how hard Arsenio is working to make this interview work.

Damn, Arsenio is a master. I'm not sure there is a talk show host today who could have handled that better.

Around 1999-2000, I was at the Arizona Center AMC theater grand opening. Segal was there because they invited him and showed all his movie on every screen for free. The place was full of people for the grand opening and even the Mayor of Phoenix was walking around. We went to watch free movies and while waiting in line inside the main building, Segal walks by with a few people including one tall very thin guy with black curly hair down to his shoulders and wearing a shiny coat almost scaly with sequins in a stylish pattern. Segal was in a long dress goat of similar style. As they were walking down the hallway between auditoriums a man with his 11 year old kid asked Segal if he would sign his VHS copy of Out for Justice, Segal stopped to hear the kid ask, didnt say anything and just smugged his lip and shook his head saying "no". The kid looked crushed as they watch him walk by them only to get stopped by 2 blonde bimbos asking for a pic and he stops to oblige without hesitation. We left. We heard later the Mayor announced it as officially "Steven Seagal Day". What a waste.

I'm not defending seagal,but other stars have said the same thing about GQ,that everything is taken out of context,and editoralized.

Arsenio is and was waaaay ahead of his time

Props to Arsenio for addressing subtly that Seagal was being a bit dry and difficult in this interview

"When you gonna do a 4 word movie?" That should of gotten a bigger laugh 😂😂

Seagal wanted to lie about doing stand up comedy, then realized he couldn't back that up.

Stevens got that slow deliberate passive aggressive sociopathic tone about him..

Will Sasso is amazing. His impression of Seagull is spot on!

"Anybody seen Richie?" "Anybody know why Richie did Bobby Lupo?"

Seagal: "I hate tabloids and magazines for spreading lies." Also Seagal: "Jean-Claude Van Damme isn't a martial artist."

I really don’t think Arsenio was appreciated enough back in the day , he was sort of mocked for the whooo hoo hand motion but the guy always did a great job with the hip guests of the time , wrestlers , action star, musician , athletes watching the old clips you really can appreciate him

In '87 Seagal was built thin and ripped. Very good shape. Within 2-3 years he was well on his way to 250 lbs with a belly. Yet he insults Chuck Norris. Norris is in great shape every time you see him. An honorable man would never even think of talking bad about Chuck behind his back. Chuck is really one of a kind.

"I believe the first test of a truly great man is in his humility." - John Ruskin.

I am waiting for the sequel for "Out for justice" I think it's called "Out For Cheeseburgers"

Back in these days he was a big star. People liked him.

*Arsenio Hall always knew when something was off. He was on to Seagal, Vanilla Ice and Millie Vanilli. Dude on point and a great interviewer.*

man Arsenio was very good. I was a kid back then, now I can see how good he was

The 5’ 2” writer he is talking about is actually 5’ 9” and won a Bronze Star in the VietNam war. The funniest thing about Seagal is he takes himself and his BS so seriously.

He set the record straight…. …that he can clear out any buffet with lightning speed.

Fun fact: Segal was banned from SNL after he hosted. He’s considered one of the worst hosts ever.

the guy can never leave his under siege character lol. his like waiting for the moment to fight with someone lol

If Steven knew back then what the internet and KZfaq were going to become, he would have been a lot more humble

Every one of Arsenio's jokes went right over Steven Seagal's head

Haven't watched much Arsenio, but this makes me wish his show was still on

I'd take Arsenio Hall over kimmel, colbert, fallon, and whoever else pollutes late night nowadays.

He'd be great as Gaston in Beauty and the Beast.

Arsenio should start a podcast now. He's a great interviewer.

He's really turned out to be the Three Stooges all rolled into one what a brilliant comic Seagal is

never seen someone love himself so much.

Dam Will Sasso was spot on

1991 this aired...28 years ago.... Wow how the whole scene changed ...

Cringeworthy every time he says “us stars”. The ego on this person...

This guy’s own children want nothing to do with him. That should tell u everything u need to know about a man’s character.

Under Siege 7 : Hairline Fracture

He should have learned the discipline of putting down the fork

“Black belt, white lies” haha good one

"Steven Seagal sets the record straight on arse" is what I read lol.

Gotta love those colorful oversized jackets and sweaters back in the early 90s.

Incredible how many people hate on Seagal just because he speaks his mind. Van Damme is a martial artist but cannot compare to Seagal. Seagal was the first white aikido instructor that got a teaching licence to teach IN JAPAN. That's how good he was. If you researched him a bit you'd see how much integrity he has.

Thanks for this wonderful interview and your movies: 1. Above The Law 2. Marked For Death 3. Out For Justice 4. Under Seige 5. On Deadly Ground 6. Under Seige 2 7. Fire Down Below 8. The Glimmer Man 9. Executive Decision (with Kurt Russell) 10. Barrel of a Gun Thank you for your sincere focus on gun safety and knowing the importance of when and where gun holding is and is not appropriate - that grounded and down-to-earth rational knowledge of the 2nd Amendment (United States Constitution) demonstrates that the right to self defense can be balanced with a calm heart that protects one's loved ones. 😊

“Have you ever done comedy” Have you met seen his whole career?

I honestly couldn't imagine going on tv and repeatedly calling myself a "star"

I'm gonna keep on coming back until somebody remembers seeing Richie!

Arsenio was the first person to sip his tea 🤣🤣🤣

This guy is just crazy, he lives in an illusion

The bar scene in 'Out for Justice' is one of the greatest scenes ever in movies.

I had a little crush on Steven back in the day it was stupid how ridiculously handsome he was he was fine and his movies were pretty good too.

Steven Seagal isn't part of the matrix. He's very articulated in that way.

Stephan Seagull has the same body language when he lies now as he did then. The eye wipe, the "you know?," and so on. He's developing more over the years.

Back in 91 he was ''Out for Justice'' Now he's just Out for Pasta.

The only thing more awkward than a Steven Segal parody is a Steven Segal interview.

I hate how Seagal always suddenly develops an accent that lasts no longer than for the brief moment in which he says words like "Puerto Rican" or "Latino". Reminds me of that one Italian-American friend we all have who doesn't speak Italian, has never been to Italy, isn't in touch with Italian culture whatsoever, but as soon as he says the name of an Italian dish he transforms into Giuseppi the Wop.

I lived in japan for years and met people who remember him living there

Hi Steven, just wanted to say I love ya bunches. I love all of your work. You are very sweet person with a big heart. May God Bless you and your family.

Steven doesn’t break character till the DVD commentary

4-5+ years of air time Aresnio has so many legend from Vanity , Macho Man, etc

This is epic. Comedy gold. Arsenio doing his thing making sure the interview doesn’t turn into a total disaster 😂

Steven Seagal is one of the actors of all time. He also knows jiu jitsu, judo, boxing, mma, and many other dangerous words.

He fights like the three stooges

I just found out Frank Dux and Steven Seagal are twin brothers

the genius of seagull is that he can be a source of action or comedy depending on how you look at him. i realize youtube autocorrected the spelling of his name but it's not worth going back there to fix it.

Steven "everybody's out to get me" Segal.

that censorship sound, sounded like a cartoon choo choo train lol

I bet Steven wishes a major talk show host would call him up nowadays

Seagal was a good looking man in his prime

It always cool how quiet Seagal is & I really miss Arsenio’s show. I always loved the “hoo! hoo! hoo!” And the fact that it wouldn’t survive today makes it even cooler

2022 JCVD kicks the shit out of Seagal in his prime. Mans an imposter.

Steven seagal is my favorite action star when I was a kid I watched all his movies religiously lol

The Master of Bullshito.

I like the time Steven met a real CIA agent and the agent said Steven didnt know how to use a compass and map.

A true narc.. 100%

He said "so I can continue making good movies" 😂

I love Steven Seagal ... could watch him and listen to him for hrs.. love the man

I have to admit- Steven is a great comedian! Right up there with Super Dave Osborne!

Lorne Michaels famously said “We don’t have to worry about having the worst SNL guest anymore, because Seagal has done it.” Not a nice dude.

The guy can't sit through a 10 minute interview without trying to pick a fight with an audience member.

Steven seagall so humble lol

I LOVE SEGAL AND HAVE ALWAYS LIKED ARSENIO'S LATE NITE SHOWS !!

Hes the heavy weight champion of liars

Wow this is the first time to see Steven Seagal so relaxed and funny guy and a sense of humor he seems to really like and love asesino and has great respect for him and measured himself on trying to get too cocky cause arseno don't play and take no shit. Steven likes the way arseno handles his interview you van tell here Steven looks so cool and natural and fun guy down to earth

He is the only film star..who in real life also looks and act like a star..no diffence between sceen steven and real..Great

Perfect interview, until he opened his mouth. Right on the brink of stardom, after Out for Justice and before Under Siege, but you can already see some of the bad habits that would bring him down.

So, low charisma, apparently has always spoken as slowly as he does today, and nonexistent comedic timing- how did he ever even become famous?

What I really, really cannot understand - if people hate him so much....why watching him??

I hope this video wasn't deleted, but the video showing Seagal running like a girl to Benny Hill music is one of the funniest videos ever! That Seagal-Hill video was more than 34 seconds long and I can't find it on youtube now, so it might have been deleted.

Bouncy letters. BEAUTIFUL.

I can never watch him without seeing the brilliant comedians on Mad TV lol!

Van damme was a true martial artist. Undefeated in competition before turning his sights on America. They almost fought at Stallones house in the early 90s. Stallone said that Segal was visibly shaken before Stallone put a stop to it. Van damme would of noodled Segal.

steven seagal was thin back in the days but over the years the bigger he got also made his lies grow bigger with him..

Jeff Speakman is a legitimate martial artist. He has truly earned his rank and been nothing but a professional and a gentleman. His movie the "Prefect Weapon" was one of the best I have ever seen. I am sure his movies would have gotten better, but he had a falling out with some of those some of those short, cigar chopping, Brooklyn pro-ducaas.

In Seagal's defense, he tried to avoid the issue of Van Dam. He was baited by the host.

Seagal does comedy every time he has a "fight" scene.

When you see how he looks now, it's almost hard to believe it's the same guy.

All he had to do was tell people over the years he was just an actor,not a fighter and know his place in this world,and apreaciate people around him more.And today he might be in a different position.

When he said what u laughing at he looked like he was gonna fight that band member 🤣

He truly believes he's an alien. There's a great interview with his mother where she talks about how she thought he was an unhinged child who thought he was from a different planet

I've been doing Stand-Up for like 30 years. - Steven Seagal
