thank goodness Tommy could carry the interview because this guy was AWEFUL

Tommy Bond was a genius-mensch. A man of intelligence but with incredible humility. These people are incredibly rare.

RIP Butch. You will never be forgotten.

I was shocked to learn that offscreen, Tommy "Butch" Bond and Sidney "Woim" Kibrick were actually nice kids and Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer was the hellraiser.

Had the pleasure of meeting Tommy right around when this video was shot. A very genuine, kind hearted person. It was a huge thrill to meet him. I remember thinking afterwards “wow, I met a little rascal!”. To this day it remains one of the biggest thrills of my life.

I met Tommy a few years before he died in San Diego, an amazing man. I told him he was a living legend. This clip pretty much proved it.

Mr. Bond was very gracious to Mr. Lowe, who was clueless with every "probing" question! 🤣

I heard that Sidney Kibrick who played Butch's sidekick "The Woim " is still alive as of December 2020. Really loved the Our Gang series when I was a kid. RIP Mr. Tommy Bond.

Tommy Bond, you are fantastic! Loved you as Butch, always my favorite! And from Dallas - that's awesome!

This may help many have a better understanding of why Mr. Bond had such a positive viewpoint on life, and remarks he made about "Doing to others, as you would have them do to you" and a few other comments from the bible. Around 1998 Tommy Bond visited my church. He spent his retirement years after his show business career speaking at churches about being a "Born Again Christian" He put his faith first, and it was amazing the many famous roles he turn down due to his moral stand. Regardless of your beliefs of is God real, or not, Mr Bond appears to have lived an enjoyable, fulfilled life standing firm on his belief system.

I am so glad these interviews exist...Skip chose people who otherwise have been forgotten...it is like hearing from an old friend you haven't seen in years......However, what it annoying is Skip asks a question, the guest gets maybe one sentence out, and Skip cuts him off and changes the subject....but still, God bless you Skip, rest in peace!

Nice person. I met him at Kobey's Swap Meet in San Diego, Ca back in 2004. He had his own space selling Our Gang memorabilia. His location was close to the entrance.

Tommy Bond did an excellent job as 'Butch' the bully. Interesting stories of his time with Our Gang.

I can't believe how poorly prepared this interviewer is.

What a great guy ! RIP Mr. Bond....

You know.... Tommy was right! Creativity, and imagination in Hollywood is GONE. It’s sad!

Though they were enemies on screen, Tommy was a good friend to Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer. When Carl felt upset and troubled, Tommy would calm him down.

Poor Skip, obviously didn't watch the Little Rascals. Great to see Tommy Bond though.

The interviewer's knowledge is ridiculous.

Shirley Temples mom took her to audition for the The little Rascals and she got turned down because of previous acting experience, and like he said Hal Roach was looking for unknown average kids.

One of my favorite scenes was Tommy singing "we're just friends " before he was Butch

Skip reminds me of Martin Short doing jiminy Glitch

Mr. Bond, what a nice man...rare in Hollywood.

What a nice man, Tommy Bond is. I like skip but he really should do more research before his interviews.

OMG! I think this interviewer is the seed idea for Jiminy Glick. 😮😅

This must be an interview from around 1993, because Tommy says that Spanky had just died. I watched "The Five Little Peppers" and he was a Pepper. Good movies.

25:01 The kid that Tommy Bond didn't recognize was Leonard who could wiggle his ears but he didn't say much (Leonard Landy).

This is one of the most unprepared interviewers I’ve ever seen.

I ran into Tommy somewhere in Florida about 20 years ago, and our conversation went on for probably about an hour. This guy had plenty to say and found humor in EVERYTHING. He was a great storyteller; too bad this interviewer kept cutting him off. I guess this is from the early days of cable TV when anybody could get a show on the air simply by asking for it. Anyway, Tommy and I had some similar interests , so we exchanged info. About a week later, I was surprised to get in the mail a signed photo from Tommy of his football scene with Babe Hardy in "Blockheads," one of my favorite Laurel & Hardy films. We never did keep in touch, but I have very fond memories of the guy. Too bad that Steven "Spiegel" film was such a mess, huh?

Your darn right it's Butch.

Thank you Tommy for carrying this interview with professionalism, because the interviewer didn't.

Skip had to be the inspiration for Jiminy Glick

Tommy Bond was a nice man - but Skip E!!! Can a guy get more stuff wrong?!

Tommy Bond was almost too good as the Bully.

The interviewer reminds me of Jiminy Glick!!!! 😂

RIP Tommy.

Glad to hear they got an amicable settlement.

Skip is an iconic interviewer. He’s who Martin Short based Jiminy Glick. This was a wonderful discovery with “Butch” as the guest. He seemed an incredibly lovable person.

Butch should have straighten "Skip" ( who the hell has a name like Skip" ) suits the interviewer to a tee . He skipped the research on his guest!!!!

Mr. Bond, our country is rotting from within!

Dude is obviously not a rascals fan

Great clip. Thanks so much.

Skip points to buckwheat... This is you right? 🤣

Little Tommy Bond sings "Just Friends" for the class in this Little Rascals (or is it Our Gang?) clip: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7qHldBlv7Ccc2g.html A priceless performance indeed.

Gotta find the book Tommy wrote!!

Just friends! Is the greatest child rendition of a song ever filmed! R.I.P Tommy!

This interview was apparently taped in 1993, based on the comment that Spanky had just recently passed over.

Butch was the voice of Owl Jolsin in the cartoon "I Love to Singa".

Skip E was the biggest joke. It’s a shame since he interviewed some legends

Good to learn about the financial agreement !

I remember him when he used to go to the swap meet & autographs for like five bucks years and years ago and my mom asked him when he was done at the signing if you wanted to go to Red Lobster next door he jumped on that I got five of his autographs and different pictures he lived in Imperial Beach San Diego who's really a nice guy

The kid at 25:00 that Butch didn't remember was Leonard Landy who passed on July 26, 2017 at age 84.😢

“I like that word lucky” Skip you Kook

Skip E. Lowe had to be the inspiration for Martin Short's "Jiminy Glick"(?!).

Woim is still alive. Sidney Kibrick is 94 and still underappreciated for his angst ridden sidekickery. Most memorable is when Butch and Woim stole Buckwheats marbles and mushed tomatoes in their faces. Buckwheat and Porkys sought justice from the "Sekret Revengers Club"

Butch being interviewed by Zack Galifianakis

A rare Hollywood class-act.

I really enjoyed this interview with "Butch" very nice

I just saw this and I thought the talk show host wasn't good at all Tommy Bond was great however great.🇺🇲📺🇺🇲

The part where Tommy is talking is really cool. The part with the other guy who won't stop talking or interrupting not as cool. Johnny Carson, Dina Shore, Merv Griffin, Mike Douglas, all spoiled us with their ability to get great answers and never step on the guest's comments.

$50 bucks back in the 30 was a Lot of money

💯% Words well spoken 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

He had a small roll in the Laurel & Hardy movie " Block Heads " as the kid with the football !! :)

When was this interview actually taped? I remember we'd all drop whatever we were doing to watch Butch beat somebody up 😅 !!!

Was he the first on screen bully ?

Wow. The interviewer didn’t do his homework at all. He didn’t know Tommy Bond at all.

Reminds me kinda Brian Dennehy

is this who "jiminiy Glick" was based on? because the way he talks, and how he is interviewing, and moving...and how they film it, and the set.. it looks like this is where that character came from.

How do you confuse Spanky for Butch?

I Love to Singa

The man at 14:45 talking to tommy bond i believe was the wizard, in the wizard of oz.

Butch's rendition of JUST FRIENDS is one of my favorite great performances of all time!!! Meanwhile what a classy, intelligent guy he seems to be, especially faced with this clueless interviewer who doesn't seem to know thing #1 about Tommy or Our Gang.

Tommy, as noted elsewhere, comes across beautifully, but the"host" is magnificently inept, nearly a scoundrel.

Spanky was from Dallas also.

Butch was one of my favorite Little Rascal.

I think Martin Short based his character Jiminy Glick on Skip E. Lowe.

The first time I saw Jiminy Glick, I knew who the character was based on.

Gee Whizz I would have loved to meet him but this guy who seems to know very little about who his amazing guest is gets to meet and (try) to interview him. And not a Little Rascals clip! Didn't even know Steven Spielberg

The real life jiminy glick

He had a political talk show in Ventura California in early 90’s

Tommy Bond The First Jimmy Olsen.

No royalties, it figures!

This interviewer was obviously not a fan of little rascals. He knew nothing.

The"Superman"movie serials were actually released in 1948 and 1950.

¡¡¡¡"Just friend"!!!!

Why does the interviewer remind me of Jiminy Glick?.."Lucky! I like that word!"....lucky is an unfamiliar term for you? What really got me was when he said they were showing a clip of the rascals and all I saw was Bond looking about 18 or 19 LOL...I feel like Tommy walked away from this interview wondering "who the hell got this guy?"

Great!

This interviewer didn't do his homework. It's seems as though he doesn't know much about Our Gang, he didn't even know that they started in 1922.

This has to be! what Jiminy Glick is based on

Did this interviewer have any clue who he was talking to or what The Little Rascals were? Or even what Tommy said?

How the heck did Skippy Lowe think Spanky was Butch in that photo?

Is this who Jiminy Glick Martin Short is based on????? I love To. Y Bond but it’s so hard to focus on him due to Jiminy

Butch did have that tough guy look when he was a kid, still does! He was perfect and great for his character! Read somewhere where he was really the opposite of his Butch character in real life and that Alfalfa was the real bully off screen!

Lol, this interviewer doesn't seem to have done any research. He was totally confused with the photo, pointed to every character but Butch.

Tommy was right. America has become Rome. What a great man!

Thanks

Do Your Research!!!!😐

So this is where Jiminy Glick, came from.

Jimmy 'Martin Short' Glick

With All due respect,Reminds me between mature Tommy Morrison & William Lucking❤
