+TheSmileyblonde me too I have little over ten years on ya but completely agree bro,,,,it's all bull shit "reality" tv now and its sending such bad messages to our young young kids out there. Makes them want to be like someone who isn't worth a damn.. I'm so glad I'm not the only young guy out there that loves Andy and Barney! Good for you my man !
Andy was absolutely MAGNIFICENT as Lonesome Rhodes in 'A Face In the Crowd'. I had never seen or heard of it until about a year ago. I was in on a Carnival Cruise ship, and it played over the ship's television while I was in my cabin one night. I was about to turn the TV off and go to sleep but I watched the first couple of minutes and was hooked! Andy Griffith definitely deserved a an Oscar-nomination for his performance! Andy Showed incredible range taking on that role; of course it was several years before The Andy Griffith Show.
😲 Boy....Andy talking about politics.... he sure hit the nail on the head. I hope the "people " will see what we have set into motion, and be able to save our country. I truly believe The Andy Griffith Show was one of the BEST shows ever made and has stood the test of time. Don & Andy were such a great pair....certainly nowadays we miss the quality of writing they had
Have anyone noticed that his speaking style is halting and recursive when he's Andy Griffith, but when he tells a story or plays a role, his speech style is smooth and paced?
I highly recommend A Face in the Crowd--just watched it last night and his performance is insanely good and very dark. You'll never see Andy Griffith the same way again.
Great interview. The last half could be talking about our situation today. Andy Griffith was the master of hiding his pure genius behind an "aw, shucks" facade. This man has been making me laugh my entire life. RIP.
RIP Andy, you were/are the greatest! Incredible performance as Lonesome Rhodes in the movie A Face In The Crowd. Should have won an Oscar for that one.
The Morning Exchange had great ratings, but their guests tended to be relatively obscure. Fred rose to the occasion of a celebrity guest as if it were no big deal...100% prepared and at ease. He was really a good one.
Great man he was from what I read about, not just on TV. He cleared his throat on the show also if you payed attention but not as much as this but he did. I watched his show so many times I picked up on a few things.
Eric Swolgaard, same here, friend. The show stands in stark contrast to the fast pace of the world, and of other shows. There is a very palpable purity to TAGS which shines bright. To me, it's simply soothing. Cheers.
The Andy Griffith Show, Mayberry RFD, The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction and Green Acres are among my favorite TV shows. I watched all of them when they first run on CBS as well as in reruns in the 1970s. Always thought they were very good sitcoms, very entertaining and well acted.
Andy speaks well here for what is now called "fly over" country. And the interviewer, though just a little clunky, gets Andy talking in a way that I had not heard before. This IS a treasure.
The movie Face in the Crowd is still way ahead of its time in 2022. If you watch that movie, you'll see parallels with politicians and talk radio today.
The role Andy Griffith played in FACE IN THE CROWD sounds a lot like our 45th president. Look at the way he manipulated people in the movie but talked about them like a dog not aware he was on an open mic. The sooner people who are willing to die or do violence for Trump need to watch that movie. Especially at the end when all he had left was a machine that was the sound of cheers and applauds.
No. Wrong. Biden is the manipulator. Everything which does not aggrandize his ego, particularly his cruelty as Americans pay enormously unnecessary prices due to trillions in extra spending, Biden calls “a threat to democracy.” Straight out of Obama’s Axilrod playbook, everything that happens is a “crisis” which can’t be allowed to go to waste. A two hour riot in which the only homicide was committed against an unarmed woman on Jan. 6, 2021 he calls the greatest threat since the Civil War. Any opposition to the chaos at the Southern border he calls “anti-immigration” bigotry. Any pushback against voting 24 hours a day, seven days a week six months before every election with drop boxes at every corner, ballot harvesting, unsigned ballots mailed to and from every address, same day automatic registration of every convict, etc., etc. is called Republican “voter suppression.” He even tried to establish a ministry of “disinformation.” Orwellian. After all, his friends in the mainstream media never raised an eyebrow when Biden cited as the gospel truth the discredited claim by 51 former national security officials that the Hunter Biden laptop “bore all the marks of Russian disinformation.”
Terrible that the tape was both missing pieces, and cut short. But, I can certainly tell why Andy eventually quit smoking; you can't miss his constant throat clearing here. Good thing for that; we were able to keep him with us forty more years.
The Morning Exchange! Hadn't thought of it since last viewing Channel 5 in Cleveland from my old growing-up homestead in NW PA later in the 70s. As for Andy, what can you say? The man is so rock-solid in his integrity, honesty AND open-mindedness. A Face In The Crowd I first got interested in after seeing Dwight Yoakam on Whoopi Goldberg's old syndicated talk show in the late 80s reference it (Dwight had written a song about Lonesome Rhodes). Nice how Andy gives due credit to the writing part of the creative process for that film without even needing to mention Budd Schulberg's name!
Grew up with Andy in his show. And the family over the road had Andy's football record. It had "Romeo and Juliet" done in the same vein on the B side. PS "A Face in the Crowd" is a masterpiece.
I sure hope you're right, Andy. The American people don't seem as smart as they were back even in 2011. Trump is ascendant, your character come to life. We'll see about the electorate.
Donald Trump = Andy Taylor come to life? I'm having a hard time seeing that. Andy was modest...sensible...reasonable...competent...honest...the list goes on.
Gawd Almighty, some of you people are pretty thick.. The comment is referring to the CHARACTER Andy Griffith played in the movie 'A Face In The Crowd'.. That CHARACTER very much DOES resemble and describe the current, one term president.. I do believe Andy had it right though.. The American people, on both sides of the political spectrum, are WAAAY too smart to be duped forever..
+Anthony Hayden Ron would have only been about 15 or 16 in 1972. Unless Ron was working at the time, I doubt he wanted to talk about him since he's just a teen.
He turned 18 in March '72 and was working with a little-known director named George Lucas on a film that was expected to fail, along with Harrison Ford, Cindy Williams, Paul LeMat, Richard Dreyfus, Charles Martin Smith, Mackenzie Phillips, Candy Clark, Bo Hopkins, Suzanne Sommers, Kathleen Quinlan...probably the best cast ever assembled on a small budget. Andy probably thought Ron's career was on the fast track to nowhere, because the evidence was all pointing that way. But it turned out that the evidence had it wrong that time.
our World is better and more better today than it was before. A great comedy that makes Humans laugh is always welcome.Just let the ratings do the judging....
I think a little bit of that is a southern vocal tic too.. A speech pattern that allows for a moment or two of thought before speaking.. After years in broadcast radio, I had to learn to edit this sort of thing out when I spoke on air, but it's very effective when you're speaking one-on-one with someone.. If you look back at some of the AGS episodes, you'll see he used this over and over again as part of his character.. even though, it probably came very naturally to him..
"Perfection!" Andy Griffith. ..and to all those crazy global warming people, "Listen to a person here, with REAL common sense!" "The world is, and will always be changing,.. it's how it got that way,.. so to think we have some massive impact, or the world would ever end, is totally ridiculous! People might end (cause of self harm), but the world will never end!"
I can't believe you uploaded a video like this with having it cut off at the end at such an important and dramatic time in the conversation, didn't you watch it before uploading it? How could you cut it off or have it cut off at the end like that? My advice: Find the end of the interview and post it as part 2 PLEASE.
This was from a 1972 episode of "The Morning Exchange" , a two hour talk-interview daily show on WEWS-TV..In that era, much was not saved after airing. Fortunate we got as much as we did..
I still say Andy Griffith should have gotten the Academy Award If this movie isn't Trump I don't know what is If you have not seen it please do. The movie is called A Face In A crowd.
Notice the big difference in this interview and the interview with Ralph Pearl in 1969, on this one he is way happier and I believe it's because Ralph was an idiot and asked stupid questions.... However i don't know
Because they think they're too good for waste southerners but we prove I'm wrong all the time.We are southerners we say Yall, we say aint. We love the land we like fried chicken. And they probably think that they're too good for that saying that small town USA is dying rubbish rubbish. For Pete's sake. There's nothing wrong with good old Southern fun on TV.
I really enjoyed watching the Andy Griffith shows all of the time & also listening to Andy Griffith shows on my smartphone. It was all nice, but i am sad to hear that Andy already passed away. It was funny when Andy wen't over to goober,s filling station and goober thought he had a talking dog but the thing the boys did was put a walkie talkie around the dogs neck & they did all the talking & opie's dad caught them then.
i'm 19 and i am obsessed with the Andy griffith show. he has changed my life completely and andy griffith is a great, blessed man.
He was a good man and a good role model. You picked a good one.
Check out his gospel music.
@@Quint1836 Yes. Absolutely!
I still love the Andy Griffith show and I'm 23! Wish we had something like that now days.

Lonesome was awsome!!!
Andy Griffith Show is still THE BOMB!!!
Yes ma’am !! I am 28 and still watch. I grew up watching with my mom and grandma. Love it! :)
The so called "sitcoms" of today will NEVER measure up to this fabulous show. There is nothing like it now or ever will be in this present world.
😲 Boy....Andy talking about politics.... he sure hit the nail on the head. I hope the "people " will see what we have set into motion, and be able to save our country.

Outstanding interview.
Straightforward and down to earth.

He's an outstanding actor!
quicklern818 ...... it’s the first thing he ever did.
His portrait of a power hungry political wanna-be is very scary stuff and can be related in today's terms.
Great interview. The last half could be talking about our situation today. Andy Griffith was the master of hiding his pure genius behind an "aw, shucks" facade. This man has been making me laugh my entire life. RIP.
I am 19 and I love The Andy Griffith Show it's a feel good show. Seems like Andy was a great person!!
RIP Andy, you were/are the greatest!
Incredible performance as Lonesome Rhodes in the movie A Face In The Crowd.
Should have won an Oscar for that one.
At 71 I still watch it daily. It's uplifting, moral and nostalgic..
Im 61 and agree with you 100%!
This is a first! Never heard him speak of family. Edit: and this interview also has SO much more, too: good interviewer. TY for sharing
The Morning Exchange had great ratings, but their guests tended to be relatively
obscure. Fred rose to the occasion of a celebrity guest as if it were no big deal...100% prepared and at ease. He was really a good one.
What i love about the Andy Griffith show the most is that it didnt have to be sexual or profane or nasty for it to be funny!!
Great man he was from what I read about, not just on TV.
He cleared his throat on the show also if you payed attention but not as much as this but he did.
I watched his show so many times I picked up on a few things.
I watch an episode of TAGS each and every night- it completes my day in the best way possible.
Eric Swolgaard, same here, friend. The show stands in stark contrast to the fast pace of the world, and of other shows. There is a very palpable purity to TAGS which shines bright. To me, it's simply soothing. Cheers.
Last night was the bittersweet last b&w episode with Barney Fife- Now I will watch all the color episodes and wait for the good old b&w's again!!
Eric Swolgaard Right! Same mindset here. It's always great when they cycle back around to the good old b & w days!
Eric Swolgaard it helps me relax as well, so simple and calm.
It's amazing to me that I still run into people that love Andy Griffith, but have never seen "A Face in the Crowd"
Sad for the cutoff, but GREAT piece to enjoy. Questions, Answers. Not rushed or talked over. Thanks!!!
Great interview. Thanks for posting. Andy was very generous toward his fellow actors.
The Andy Griffith Show, Mayberry RFD, The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction and Green Acres are among my favorite TV shows. I watched all of them when they first run on CBS as well as in reruns in the 1970s. Always thought they were very good sitcoms, very entertaining and well acted.
I don't remember Petticoat Junction, but I don't think Andy cared for Beverly Hillbillies as many Southerners didn't.
Fred Griffith boy he was such a superstar in Cleveland up until the early 90's. He had talent for network stuff very awesome personality.
Andy speaks well here for what is now called "fly over" country. And the interviewer, though just a little clunky, gets Andy talking in a way that I had not heard before. This IS a treasure.
i love this man...
The movie Face in the Crowd is still way ahead of its time in 2022. If you watch that movie, you'll see parallels with politicians and talk radio today.
I watch The Andy Griffith Show everyday! It's the best television show in history.
Fred Griffith is my great great uncle my name is Braxton griffith
Right when we were hearing about this amazing man's perspective of humanity, the video has to end!! I wanted to hear the rest! :(
Andy and ole barney were the best.best friends right to the end literally.thanks andy😃😃😃😃😃

I watch the Andy Griffith show still every day morning and evening (and i am 66 years old) but its my favoeite comedy!
I Remember Watching this as a kid back in the Early 70s. RIP Mr Andy Griffith and Mr Fred Griffith the Host of the Morning Exchange. No Relation.
I used to watch those 1960s rural shows a lot back in the late 70s and early 80s as a kid. I loved them. They were very funny.
Could you please upload the rest of it? Andy is such a great human being...God bless him :)
When I was a kid I remember watching the morning exchange my parents would watch this every morning
Wish I could step into a time machine and go back to those days
I was only 2 years old and living in Valley View near Cleveland at the time.
Andy. Heart of gold.
the writing on his show were superb

Hillary, heres the answer to your question, "what happened" 11:36
Thanks for posting :)
Love this guy !
Fred Griffith and Andy Griffith. I was wondering if they would ever meet, and it turns out they did. Very interesting. RIP Andy.
Just when Andy started getting deep, it cut off....Illuminati!!!
Sorry, but that's all that was saved
WOW...the Morning Exchange was the "Bidness" here in Cleveland. I still miss that show. Can you upload the opening from the 70s?
Grew up with Andy in his show. And the family over the road had Andy's football record. It had "Romeo and Juliet" done in the same vein on the B side. PS "A Face in the Crowd" is a masterpiece.
earing him talk about Don Knotts was awesome!
The Face In The Crowd = The Apprentice
I love that he says "our show".
The segment was much longer. Someone just saved a part of it
Great video.
I sure hope you're right, Andy. The American people don't seem as smart as they were back even in 2011. Trump is ascendant, your character come to life. We'll see about the electorate.

Outstanding
Andy and Barney greatest comedy ever!
Was the face in the crowd person they had in mind Huey Long?
R.I.P. Andy.
Forgot to add , I wondered why he didn't mention Ron Howard as he ran down the list, or was it just a given not to?

What did he say at 2:20
Dick Nixon, DONALD TRUMP is who Andy's speaking of
Ellen Corby was hilarious in this episode 300 easy clams from the sucker of the world
What is the original date this was filmed?
