Orson and Oliver On Merv (IN STUNNING 4K SPLENDOR!)

Simply wonderful television. Sadly, those days are gone.

Charo ... years ago seen her perform 🎭 at the NUGGET in SPARKS, NEVADA.

Orson was 400 pound's at his heaviest, he was 240 pound's when he died.

He was so intriguing and gorgeouly masculine when was sober. He looks healthy here. RIP

Two icons in the same room. What wonders flow.

Never heard of Reed.

crikey, and today we get some fucking they/them whining about being called a tit being interviewed by someone educated up to the age of 11

Reed would have been perfect to play explorer Sir Richard Burton

I was actually Floor Manager for this particular episode. What a privilege, Great days.
I remember Orson always brought his own food with him.
Whether it be sandwiches or
Pie, the food was always wrapped up in ( Clingfilm) aka Cellophane.
Well you can imagine Orsons
Appetite. There was so much
Cellophane. Anyway i decided to recycle the material. If you look at the back of the stage
You can see all the Cellophane.
And that was just one of his
Baguettes.

A fountain of knowledge. Now gone. I'm 42 and a pale image of Sir Oliver.

Aaah!... wanted to see the 'ejaculation.'

Who's the woman ?

I realize this is only a partial segment of the program, though I'd be honestly surprised if Merv did not ask Orson to show off his jacket lining, and then compare it with his... "Ooooooo... that's nice."

Sounds like he likes hamburgers to me

Fun fact. Oliver Reed's uncle Carol Reed directed the classic film noir 'The Third Man' with Orson Welles.

Ein gutaussehender Mann 👍

Brilliant company, we don’t get such great characters these days.

He is one interesting prick...

I cry for what weve lost..

Orson… “ may I ask you a question?”
Reed…..” Orson, If you’re capable.”

Love them both.

the sergeant “ was broken and bleeding.” And Reed gently inserted this into the conversation.

Charo was lost here.

Orson Wells waistline is huge.

What an astute speaker Oliver was, he was no man's idiot.

why would ollie call out Orsen and embarrass him regarding not paying restaurant bills?

Great interview apart from poor Charro fading into the background. She was or still is? extremely intelligent and accomplished as well as these men.

Orson was keen to move away from the weight loss topic at the start. Rude and insensitive of the host to bring it up with Reed , and for Reed to chat about it, as if Welles wasn't siting there.

Ahh yes Orson Welles, Charo, and Oliver Reed

Oliver reed is only 41 in this clip.

Oliver Reed was and is,. a genius

‘Tell me when she’s finished’.
-Oliver Reed.

ps it's not surprising that Reed was sober... most interviews he's sober and very, very serious...

How good is this compared to these so called celebrities we have to suffer now

20 years later Reed would look exactly like Orson Wells when he played Proximo in Gladiator lol.

Loved him in "Burnt Offerings."

If only he was alive today, we need him.

Ollie was a love in this interview

Slightly wrong aspect ratio. Should be 1.33

What does orson mean when he say Oliver “displaces air”?

I'd watch talk shows today, if they were a bit more like this

Aired 1980.

Mmaaaaaa the French

Brilliant

I have nothing to add but I would like to know who the woman is that gets very little mention

Oliver Reed was magnificent. His intelligence, his voice, his wit. Orson Welles. There will never be men like this again.😢🦘

This is the most eloquent conversation about hamburgers I've ever heard lol😊

whos the bird it dont say

terrible interview
