I was at this show (15 years old) and I remember John stormed off the set and took about a hour to return and continue the interview with Ringo. I was surprised with John doing the intro parts when this aired, that never happened in front of the audience while We were there. This was My first time ever seeing a talk show taping and it was one to remember.

I saw this on tv when it was first broadcast. Ringo was DRUNK!

It’s very sad watching Ringo like this.So glad he recovered.

I really enjoyed seeing the beginning of Ringo & Barbara's relationship....thanks for sharing this rare interview.

Wow, 2021 is Ringo and Barbara's 40th wedding anniversary.

Matuszak was a real sport. Sad to lose such a kind, respectful guy so young.

Matuszac was huge! Seemed like a cool guy. I remember watching Caveman over and over again on HBO as a little kid. It was pretty good.

Drunks are pretty tedious. Even when they're ex Beatles. Fascinating to see this though, and so glad Ringo got his act together soon after.

John Matuszak died at only 38 years old. It's sad hearing about how beat up his body was and his asperations of acting. Most people will remember him from playing Sloth in "The Goonies".

Ringo's drinking days.. He and Barbara checked into rehab. . not long after and turned his life around for the better.. according to published reports.

Ringo is hammered!!!

I actually think that John Davidson did a very good job here of managing the entire situation, he managed to have his cake and eat it too by putting in the interlude "we now would like to continue with the interview we recently did with Ringo Starr" and when he says Ringo Starr, he says it in the most sarcastic way possible..... An exceptional piece of history here caught on camera, I'm glad he sobered up but this is probably the funniest Ringo has ever been.... Great job John Davidson!!!

Poor andy got pushed to the end but loved his face when that big guy came on. Andy was such a babe he had manners knew his ps and qs, and never drunk while doing interviews

Talk shows back then were so interesting and guests and the host were so well-spoken and intelligent and charismatic! Nowadays it's only about fake laughs, nonsense, F-Bombs, swearing, etc. Cultural decay I'd call it! Even a professional football player had class back then!

They had to edit this. The show was live on tape but Ringo messed it up for them.

I really liked the movie Caveman and Ringo was always my favorite Beatle. I didn't realize that Matuszac was such an articulate and soft spoken guy. Quite an eye opener this interview. He died much too young. A shame.

John Davidsen handled a smartass brilliantly. He was the real scene stealer. Enjoyed him the most on this video.

Lol I loved the movie Caveman 😄 I was young & I thought it was great!

If you haven't seen caveman,it's a true gem,highly recommend.

Andy Gibb and Ringo Starr look like dwarfs next John Matuszak(6/7 height=2.01 meters).

I like that they took the language developed for 'Caveman' and turned it into Klingon for Star Trek.

Ognir Rrats... the fun Beatle, and my personal favorite since my young years. So kool to see this love affair with him & Barbara continuing on today. And John Matuszsac... sigh, I had a major crush on that footballer. Kind of a gentle giant that could knock your head off. My kinda guy! LOL

"ATUK A LUNA LANA" LOL I kind of remember this movie I watched it in the mid 90's lol but sadly I didn't know Ringo was a Beatle or singer lol

@1:36 Ringo's getting frisky.

Pretty Andy. He had such delicate features. The drugs ruined his looks a little later on, sadly. Barbara Bach looks a lot like actress Arielle Dombasle.

They had a fight toward the end. It’s not here.

Richard Starkey. ​ (Liverpool, 7 de julio de 1940), más conocido como Ringo Starr, es un músico, multiinstrumentista, cantante, compositor y actor británico. Fue el baterista de la banda de rock The Beatles. Antes de formar parte de The Beatles, Starr fue miembro de otra banda de Liverpool, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. En agosto de 1962, Pete Best fue despedido y Ringo ocupó su lugar. Además de tocar la batería, Starr participó como vocalista en varias canciones versionadas o creadas por el grupo como «With a Little Help from My Friends», «Yellow Submarine», «I Wanna Be Your Man», «Act Naturally», «Boys», entre otras y fue el compositor de las canciones «Don't Pass Me By» y «Octopus's Garden».

Ringo obviously was still feeling the emotional roller coaster ride and mourning of Lennon and Keith Moon.

There is an interview with Dennis Wilson.Now he was really stoned.

John Davidson does not know how to do an interview.

ringos pissed

This was not one of Ringo's best performances. Booze and life don't mix.

Ringo is half in the bag but he scored a Bond girl!

Fun to see this interview, but it's also sad to see all three of the male guests so wasted. Both John M. And Andy Gibb died so young because of their addictions. I'm so that most sane people know that eventually this is going to happen when you abuse drugs.

"We'd like to continue with the interview we recently did with 'RINGO STARR' "...lol....

Imagine Andy died in '88 and Matuzak in '89, both partly heart and cocaine ( Matuzak also had a prescription drug in him)

What a pity you don't have Andy's performance, but do have the interview with Andy by any chance?

For a moment there Ringo looked like he wanted to pick a fight with John Matuszak

Am I wrong or is Ringo inebriated on this interview? Maybe that's why he wore the dark glasses.

Wonder if John watched this..he should have asked him more about john....

Matuszak was a MONSTER Jesus Christ!

Luckily for ringo, John Matuszak wasn’t drunk that day

They all look so frail and tiny compared to John matuszac! He was a gentle giant though, sad he died so young.

John Matuszak 😍 Eternal Sloth of Goonies great actor and sexual symbol bear 🐻🙊 Ringo is fantastic too!

I think ringo is making everyone uncomfortable except tooz of course

COKED OUT OF THEIR MINDS BARRY AND RINGO

He was in the beatles right? Then why does ringo think hes the lizard king?

Newman?

wheres the part where allegedly the interviewer says shut up ringo???

So Ringo is related by marriage to Bo and Luke Duke?

Tooz died at 38. Accidentally OD'd on a prescription drug.

I see bill Murray in John's reflection?

Ringo « big ego » Starr. He’s ridiculous!

Ringo the luckiest man in music. If they had like Pete Best there would be no Ringo

riNGO

A lot of interviewees are more savvy nowadays (I know, a point open for debate). If this interviewer asked the same questions today he (or she) would be devoured solely on his attempts to be condescending.

Na realidade eu só queria ver Andy Gibb, um jovem lindo e talentoso, tive que engolir esse Ringo, detestei esse vídeo. Que horror

Caveman didn’t do well at the box office. Ringo’s being drunk on this interview was talked about all over Hollywood but it was said that he was high. I know because in the 70s I went out to LA twice to break into that business. Ringos Reputation was ruined! I’m telling you the truth this is what did it! No one wanted to hire him. He had a failed movie and he had this drunken performance, which again, I tell you, they said that he was on drugs. And no one wanted to hire him. Why would you want to hire somebody who’s going to come on the set and wreck your movie, and put you behind schedule, because they’re intoxicated? That’s how they think. And they’re right. But, when Ringo was working on records and television shows and movies he wasn’t high. Or he wasn’t drunk. But he certainly was here and that was a huge mistake. It cost him his movie career. The competitor for this show was Mike Douglas, and it is a long story, but it is Hollywood history. Mike Douglas worked for metro media for years they ended his show and started a show with John Davidson and it was said Mike was fired and John Davidson was hired. So this showed of John Davidson‘s, had a stigma on it from the beginning. I don’t care for John Davidson but the guy was put in a really bad spot. He didn’t know that it was going to be interpreted as he is taking over for Mike Douglas and Mike Douglas Being fired. Here’s what happen with the Ringo, he was in a deep depression he found the second love of his life, thank God, but no one would hire him.He moved out to Los Angeles because he wanted to not only make records, but he wanted to be in films. In fact, he wanted to be in films more than he wanted to make records at this point. He was growing tired of making albums. Capital records was out on the West Coast of course in Los Angeles, so they were more than happy to have him out there because he was making a lot of money for them. He was the biggest selling Beatle after the Beatles broke up! Ringo went on the Mike Douglas show sober, he was the only guest on the show! Unfortunately Mike Douglas‘s ratings were in the toilet. And the show was extremely low budget: it was Mike Douglas, two chairs, and a black backdrop! If you know anything about TV production you know that’s even worse than cable TV! Merv Griffin, who had the tops and the ratings, wouldn’t have him, so Mike Douglas was the best that Ringo could do. He was very serious and very sober during that interview. However, it didn’t save his career; all people remembered was the mess that he made out of this show. It’s a good thing Ringo got off the drugs and alcohol! Today, he is the healthiest rock star ever. The man is 80 years old. His mind is sharp. And toward the end of his concerts he actually does a whole lot of jumping jacks! Honest!

barbara bach was good in the spy who loved me

Fortunately, Starr and Matuszak made enjoyable a tacky TV show conducted (?) by a lousy Mattel© doll. Cheer up!

ringo is so drunk

Ringo is rude and drunk. Not fun at all, disrespectful of the interviewer and the attendees. We love Ringo and he is a talented drummer, but this is painful to watch. The interviewer is doing all he can to keep the show going.

Geez this guy was kinda of a jerk to Ringo during this interview. Ringo was just having fun. This guy don't know what that is obviously.

How the hell did ringo bag her?

Ringo put me in such a good mood. Like Barbara said he is human. What is this guys deal. And stop sayin about how he is drunk. He was awesome. Leave it alone and find the obvious good in it.

John M was also Sloth in the Goonies. I was never a John M fan. Dumb jock, he and Terry Funk both.

Ringo is impossibly drunk here. What a disrespectful situation to the interviewer and the other guests. I hope he`s not always this dumb, otherwise poor Barbara.

Let's see...Ringo and Barbara Bach are there, but let's spend more time interviewing John Matuszac...FAIL !

Ringo Star seems obnoxious and rude ! Why do they have him up there with someone as sweet as Andy Gibb ?

Ringo may have been drunk, but John Davidson was an inept tool, as well as a horrible interviewer, "singer", and actor; at least Ringo could sober up...

What attracted you to Ringo Starr??........... I wonder if it’s anything to do with the $10000000 he has in the bank?

Ringo is a pretty boring character.

I guess hairy, oily, greasy, stinky, drunk, beardy, smoky men were Barbara's type. There is NO accounting for taste. Sad that Ringo was actually a good looking guy in 1964, I loved his eyes like blue stars and big pillow lips that I imagined tasted like honey (but probably tasted like booze and tobacco in reality). He just went downhill from the late 60's onward though.

John Davidson sucks at interviews

it was a stupid movie

\\I wish the interviewer had asked 'Are you embarrassed to be a boring drunk who alone thinks he's funny, and do you realise you're only here because you got lucky with two musical geniuses...'.

Ringo's drinking days.. He and Barbara checked into rehab. . not long after and turned his life around for the better.. according to published reports.

"ATUK A LUNA LANA" LOL I kind of remember this movie I watched it in the mid 90's lol but sadly I didn't know Ringo was a Beatle or singer lol
