That’s false. Letterman did his best to have all the comedians come on his show to try and help them. (Leno, Degeneris, Seinfeld, Miller, walker, on and on.

wow.. Morita was the head Computer Manager for the Polaris rocket project.. HOLY SHIT..... wtf?... I never knew this. I dont think this is on his wiki page... that is amazing "But Morita, then with a wife and a baby, needed a regular job.

I think we can all stand up and offer a storming round of applause to his legacy and what he did for the Karate Kid franchise! Cheers Pat, Kanpai!
Andrew P I remember when KK came out I was a teenager. I grew up watching happy days. Then KK came out. People were blown away by his acting. As you can tell he’s American through and through (no accent) and he way he forced his voice lower and slowed down his speech and movements. Wow. Such a great actor. He was funny in stand up as well. But my dad I saw KK when it first came out and we were blown away with Arnold becoming Miyagi. All the way home I remember us talking about how great he was.

The producers initially wanted Toshiro Mifune from the legendary Japanese movie Seven Samurai (1954) as Mr. Miyagi, but Mr. Mifune refused. I wonder how Mr. Miyagi would look like if Toshiro Mifune was Mr. Miyagi. Must've been so imposing because he was taller & broader compared to Pat Morita. Kreese would've looked less intimidating.
In documentary, Avildsen said that Mifune's Miyagi would be more about samurai way, honor and all that. He'd certainly be more imposing and even scary.
Thomas Its funny. Jimmy Fallon gets a shit ton of hate for constantly interrupting guests and for having an obnoxious fake laugh. Letterman did the EXACT same shit but hardly anyone says anything because Letterman is revered and it’s hip to bag on Jimmy Fallon. (Btw, Im not saying Fallon is a good host. Letterman was far superior. I just find it ironic that one gets a pass and the other gets roasted.)
@@StuUngar Nah, I never liked Letterman. He came of as an arrogant host most of the time and I was happy when the young Angelina Jolie sans makeup made Letterman look like a fool with her I don't give a shit about this show attitude since she had to promote a movie as per contract. Jay Leno was a lot better, in my opinion as an old GenXer.
The irony, is Pat never actually knew martial arts in real life! I'd say, he made a pretty damn good living, as an actor, being less than a White belt- shows you don't need to be a great martial artist, to be an actor, and you don't need to be an actor, to be a excellent martial artist, of course, Bruce Lee was the exception.
It's actually nice that the producer wanted a 'real' Japanese actor. It kind of justifies why Morita had to put on that stereotypical accent because he is not a Japanese native.
I know people that have been guests on the show and the producers told them that Dave is the star - Dave gets the laughs. Which is apparent in his horrid interview style.
Pat Morita pimped out here, rocking the 80s mullet. Hell yeah.
Not a mullet. A skullet (bald mullet) 😂
Growing up I needed somebody like mr. Miyagi , he would come in handy even now..RIP Pat..
Why would you like to congregate with a crazy creepy criminal stalker though
He’s not dead
Letterman doesnt let him talk
“I don’t look like a Jackie.”
Some few decades later, who comes along to play the Mr. Miyagi role in the remake? A Jackie. XD
Ok... This is scary. 😵
The fact that miyagi spoke way better English lfnaoo
I won't watch that version it isn't the same thing and not the same without Pat Morita
