"Dear Lisa, As I write this, I am very sad. Our president has been overthrown AND REPLACED BY THE BENEVOLENT GENERAL KRULL. ALL HAIL KRULL AND HIS GLORIOUS NEW REGIME. SINCERELY, LITTLE GIRL."
☝️🤓 actually Mike Myer’s clothes would have inspired Kim Possible’s outfit. This interview was way before the cartoon was ever thought to exist. Then again, Mike Myers outfit is a design from what a English officer cammando from 1940’s to *possible* now would wear.
Mike Myers couldn't have possibly imagined the pop cultural impact Austin Powers was going to have, even after the huge success of Wayne's World. I was in 6th grade when the second Powers movie came out in '99 and at that time most of the boys in my school would have probably told you Mike Myers was the funniest person on the planet, either him or Sandler. I don't know if kids today truly understand how huge those movies were, EVERYONE was doing a Dr Evil impression at one point in time...those movies had the world by the waist
I was only in kindergarten during the Waynes World prime so I can't truly remember how many people were saying "Schwing" or "Party on, Garth" on a daily basis in the hallways of school. But I remember everyone and their grandmother doing the Dr Evil finger to mouth. To this day I still have an arcade with an Austin Powers Pinball near me
This is weird. According to google, Austin Powers only made 67mil, Wayne's World made 180mil. I would have sworn Austin Powers made more than that. Ah, I just checked and the 2nd one made over 300mil. The second Wayne's World only made 48mil.
It's only in the past decade that Mike Myers has gained a reputation as a "difficult" actor. I'm surprised his reputation hasn't been hurt more by his repeated knife attacks on Jamie Lee Curtis.
Just realised I've never seen any interviews of Mike. He seems like very down to earth and cool guy. Weird how I've never seen any clips of him being interviewed.
@@fobbitoperator3620 Im a young dude, becoming an old dude, watching old dudes who I didn;t know were ever young dudes, watch clips of themselves, young, which was old to me. Inception should be calling me to cater to their gay audience. Notice how nobody gives a fuck about that movie haha. Austin Powers is literally more relevant.
It's funny because Conan tells this exact same story on their podcast that was released today, and Myers has the exact same reaction mentioning he thought he was going to be fired. I guess they forgot they already had this conversation lol.
They probably still won't catch on for a few more years. I recently was working with an 18 year old who told me it had recently 'blown their mind' that Austin Powers and Dr Evil are the same person. And they said it like they were expecting I wasn't going to know.
The note reminds me of a Calvin & Hobbes strip where Calvin “kidnaps” Suzy’s doll and leaves this stereotypical cut & paste note saying that “you cannot trace us, you cannot find us. Sincerely Calvin”.
@@toddpinkstonisgod it just looks clumsy, spacing and size of letters is all over the place. It's not terrible to the point you can't read it and I wouldn't care if I wasn't replying to someone describing it as incredible...
“And the best part is no one will believe I had anything to do with it. Yours, Conan”. 😂 Their dynamic is hilarious! Would’ve never known this great interview had I not seen this uploaded here. Love it!
Some of you might be too young to remember just how big those Austin Powers movies were. Mike went from being one of the funniest SNL cast members to being one of the biggest stars in the world at that time. The guy was huge. I still hope to see a part 4.
Let me preface this by saying I was really tired when I watched it. Because people doing Dr. Evil impressions is such a cliche, when Myers did his Dr. Evil voice, I had a moment where I thought, "Wow. He actually does that really well."
Two of my biggest young inspirations right here....you guys made me not afraid to try and be funny and fail or succeed it doesn’t matter. My new humor channel is dedicated to comedians like this
I miss those loose-fitting cargo pants days. It was a remarkable, fleeting alliance between comfort, practicality, and fashion. Why did we, as a society, decide to go backward?
I just listened to the latest episode of Conan's podcast with Mike Myers and they had the exact same conversation about that letter and SNL, 19 years after.
Doug Unfunny His handwriting was (and maybe still is) *freakishly* neat. Check out this long letter he wrote to E.B. White when he was 16 years old. twitter.com/ConanOBrien/status/1202706545634463744
Awesome clip, and great memories for me. Had been an intern at SNL on Mike M.'s 1st day in Jan. 1989...a few years later, aspiring to a career in showbiz, I was an extra in "The Handsome Man" sketch. (Pause it at 2:18 as Conan's rising, I'm the redhead behind the guy with the mustache)...here's a photo of me-n-Conan from the final cast party of '89: davejay.com/blog/me-n-conan-snl-cast-party-may-20-1989/. Conan, Mike and I were the only redheads at SNL in them days, and they were really nice to me. :)
Gosh thats absolutely perfect. The perfect welcome party. If only my manager at Chilis did the same for me then maybe i would have had the heads up when i was fired...
Reminds me of some of the very funny people at my boarding school. A classmate was annoyed with his roommate. One evening, he slapped a note on his roomie’s desk, declaring “This flew in through the window for you” or something like that The note said “I hate you. Signed, God”
@@omgvague I have heard that the only reason he got that reputation was because he was moody on film sets while his father was dying, and he had a tough time dealing with that afterwards
Austin Power did such good job spoof on spy movies and mainly James Bond. With super hero films being big thing now someone needs a FUNNY note fun spoof of those. *Side note most spoof movies miss the mark*
That note gag, "No one will ever know it was me, signed Conan" is such a Simpsons joke.
"Dear Lisa,
As I write this, I am very sad. Our president has been overthrown AND REPLACED BY THE BENEVOLENT GENERAL KRULL. ALL HAIL KRULL AND HIS GLORIOUS NEW REGIME.
SINCERELY, LITTLE GIRL."

He's graduated to the big pants.
A threatening letter from Conan can only be described as adorable.
Look at that at that cute handwritting.
He’s always been a good egg! Lol
Oh Conan.. **slide whistle**
Yeah Right, Conan is 6'5" 250 Pounds
Conan is such a good guy and has supported so many of the best comedians and actors

Oh I hope this is sarcasm
It’s uncanny isn’t it? Lol
@@karsaorlong666 C'mon, man...
He secretly practices at night on how to be Dr evil
He stole that character from Dana Carvey…kinda sad story of why they stopped being great friends.

Even though everyone would know it was Dwight lol
Just realised I've never seen any interviews of Mike. He seems like very down to earth and cool guy. Weird how I've never seen any clips of him being interviewed.
Probably exactly because he isn’t doing any dumb shit like the rest of them
It’s weird to watch old clips of people watching old clips.

yea for a few seconds i thought mike myers was still 35, nawww sonn
Its funny how Conans hair has slowly morphed into exactly handsome mans hair lol
He looks almost identical to the character he played. Lol! So funny.
Every time he reads the word “ destroy” I picture Dr Evil lol
anal destroy
You're a homosexual
It's funny because Conan tells this exact same story on their podcast that was released today, and Myers has the exact same reaction mentioning he thought he was going to be fired. I guess they forgot they already had this conversation lol.
Watch enough clips and you'll hear "It's a volume business." And it's been almost 2 decades since.
They actually tend to upload clips of their podcasts guests when they were on his late shows
Well, it was NINETEEN YEARS AGO that they recorded this clip. Cut 'em some slack.
@@toevlugsoord what?
Yup
Funny how Conan looks the same now as he did in 2001
Somewhere there is a 15 year old watching this clip and findind a troubling resemblance between the Austin Prowler nurse and his own mother.
They probably still won't catch on for a few more years. I recently was working with an 18 year old who told me it had recently 'blown their mind' that Austin Powers and Dr Evil are the same person. And they said it like they were expecting I wasn't going to know.

That's so sweet that he kept the note all those years
I woulda thought they'd have gone with "Wang's World" 🎵 😂👍🏻
Conan somehow looked far older in the SNL clip in 1990 than he does today in 2021.
leaner less bodyfat... less fat in face. bodybuilding and trainers and style... crazy facial expressions back then ya.

watching this after his podcast episode is very nice haha
Upload a new video already!
@@TheIronMexican which podcast???
Mike Myers' episode of "Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend" is available now @ apple.com/TeamCoco.
Yo
Cone bone.
Yes.
With that haitdoo, Conan could almost have been mistaken for Andy's twin...tall twin...tall, pale...pale... sweet summer child twin...o>O
@Team Coco hey, change the “.com” in your link to “.co” and the link will work.
Wow. This is honestly the first time I seen Mike in an interview. Never realized how down time earth he is.
What a cute kid. Looks like Mike was always a natural.
Apparently, he grew into a top-notch asshole
Sue Jefferson I didn’t think anyone doubted that.
He looks like Cary Mulligan lol
A natural Cobb polisher if you know what I’m getting at
He's a homosexual
"I think I can help I know CPR!"
LMFAO!
The syntax of that note is so distinctively Conan O’Brien.
"Push eject on their VCR", part of me thought he was being sarcastic but then I realized what year this is from...
Even recording stuff on digital, I say "I'm taping it"
I thought he said "he jacked on their VCR"
Conan's hair in the SNL clip is way more 'conan' than in the interview.
More red and surfs up
Can we talk about Conan’s incredible handwriting?
That he writes like an 8 year old?
Not trying to hate, I write just as bad

@@vincevvn I don't think so. If you've ever seen the letter that Conan wrote to E.B. White, it's the same writing. He writes "a" very distinctly.
I love how Dr Evil he sounded when he read the letter out loud
I adore Mike Myers so much
omg the face he made to accompany the slapping motion 🤣🤣
Some of you might be too young to remember just how big those Austin Powers movies were. Mike went from being one of the funniest SNL cast members to being one of the biggest stars in the world at that time. The guy was huge. I still hope to see a part 4.
I don't know if your old enough to realize Austin powers was the 2nd time Mike did that.
"Mike, I'm going to destroy you!"
I assume that he then said: "Mike, this script for The Love Guru is terrific! You must make it!"
its funny because its true.
3:10 "You graduated to the big stick"...ROFL.
😆a great example of a fun ingenious actor and a genius comedic writer. Ok I forgot Myers writes too.
Honey lets watch Mike Myers on Conan, but first! slap slap slap.

Uuuh, who wants to tell him
It’s ok. Kevin Spacey can’t get any work anywhere at this stage.
Of course Jordan Schlansky had a copy of the film :P
Jordan or Pierre? lol.

Pierre and Bley were the most plausible culprits.
Mike looks really good, glad for him.

This is the most Canadian conversation I've ever heard.
Said with deep love 🇨🇦
"...and now I can reveal, Conan, that ever since you wrote that note, I spit in your coffee cup every single day."
Someone check on Mike Myers. I haven't heard from him in awhile.
He's always just tucked away inside his wife/daughter. She's probably too old by now.
his hand writing is pretty damn good. mine looks like chicken scratch.
Well, to be fair...it IS in pencil...
Well, Conan _did_ attend Harvard. I believe he took a class in _How to Write Legible Satirical Notes for Friends & Colleagues._ 😉

his hand writing isn't that neat tbh ... i dont know why moat people cant write properly ... nobodies fault of course...
That "Handsome Man" SNL skit pretty much went to define Conan's TV career
Would have 1M views if you had led with "Mike Myers Shows Clip of Porn Version of Austin Powers."

@@Mowmauf It's worth learning French just to experience this.

It's official, Conan wrote the Love Guru
Mike Myers is one of the very few celebs that I'd love to party with.
yeah baby
Oh shut up
I didn't know Conan financed the Love Guru....
After the Austin prowler clip I was really hoping Mike would follow up with, “looks like she graduated to the big stick baby”

i think "Austin Plow Her" would've been better.
Dennis Ellsworth What if Murder Hornets made a porn version of Austin Powers? "Oh beehive!"
Or better, "hey let’s fuck" because it implies in the title there will be fornication, as well as friendly greetings.
There's a position at Brazzers waiting for you, my friend.
How about Goldmemb... oh, wait ...
Yeah Austin Prowler sounds like the newspaper moniker for some sort of Texas Serial Murderer.
The funniest part was when he said VCR. Haven't heard that in forever haha
Reading the comments and realising how recently this was uploaded 😂
Mike Myers looks like his clothes were donated to him and he stole Chris Kattan's wig from wardrobe.
I don't _believe_ in coincidences...
I believe in coincidences, I just done trust them..
I’m so glad I watched this
I love these old clips!
omg Conan is adorable
So Conan set up Kanye West to take down Mike Myers, and nobody realized it. Damn, Conan is devious.
2:10 "this is me a long time ago" but im already watching you from a long time ago.
His little middle-schooler-guffaw at 3:50 kills me
YEAH BABY. very groovy of you to finally post this episode on UA-cam. Very shagidelic
It's funny, this was kind of an awkward interview, I think Myers was a little nervous or something. You'd imagine him to be more of a natural.
Mike Myers went through a weird phrase where he began as an endearing quirky dork and ended up like a giant douchebag.
I think it's sweet that he's not a huge egoist. He's got that lively artistic personality type that is both creative and sensitive.
@@omgvague I have heard that the only reason he got that reputation was because he was moody on film sets while his father was dying, and he had a tough time dealing with that afterwards
Mike Myers's dressed exactly like Tom Cruise when he was talking about Scientology
Conan: I’m going to destroy you. I don’t know when or how.
Cat in the Hat comes out.
Conan: *evil laugh* I did it!
Love guru
Honestly shrek and austin powers is all mike Meyers will ever need
"I think I can help! I know CPR!"
Oh my god is that the cat in the hat
No it's Fred Dinkan.
I totally forgot that Conan's hair used to lay flat on his head.
Only when it was frightened.
i keep forgetting that conan is a writer for a lot of things i used to watch
before he graduated to the big stick
he's so chill
I lost my Mojo lolll 😹😹
He sounds like Dr. Evil when reading the note.
7:27 WHOAAA, HE LOOKS LIKE A YOUNG MARTIN SHORTTT
Years later.. Conan gave Mike the idea for The Love Guru and his plan was complete.
Mike Myers rocks!! Yeahhhh, Baaaaby!! 😎👍
I love how Mike Myers rocked the Karen haircut long before Karen wanted to see the manager.
That note was groovy baby.
Seeing this and seeing Conan now... man, that hair grew!
Austin Power did such good job spoof on spy movies and mainly James Bond. With super hero films being big thing now someone needs a FUNNY note fun spoof of those. *Side note most spoof movies miss the mark*
YES! Haven't seen this since it aired back in 2001 bahaha.. "I KNOW CPR!" Priceless - BOOM CHICKA BOW WOW!
Conan predicted the Love Guru, and it also sounds like a Simpsons joke
