I met Lou Ferrigno and Bill Bixby in late 1979 on a shoot at Universal that was set up like a carnival. My buddy worked security and was helping me try and get a job there. He asked if I wanted to watch them film The Incredible Hulk, and I said hell yeah! Both were super nice. I was already a fan of Bixby from the show The Magician.
I was a production assistant on Spiderman 3. Louis Ferrigno walks into Stage 30. He steps to me, shakes my hand and says, "Hi, I'm working on a show King of Queens here on the lot. Is Toby available?" My jaw dropped. This legend to anyone under the age of 40, 50 years old actually feels like he's got to qualify himself as to why he's there on the Sony Pictures lot was shocking. As if it's possible to not recognize who Lou is! "Sure, Toby's over on stage 15. Here, I'll walk you over there!" I sometimes wonder if Mr. Ferrigno knows just how much of a Hollywood icon he really is!
The difference between now and the 1970s was that superstars back then were truly and genuinely the cream of the crop in their respective fields. They were like real life comic book characters who stood out due to their unique special power. Today it's just a bunch of snarky posers who don't stand out as top tier at anything special. But today's stars think they're greater than everybody. Yesteryear's talent was so much more humble and so much more dedicated to their art.
Yeah its clear that "they" are choosing who becomes mainstream famous and the people aren't. The People just follow in what is promoted obviously. It's important to not lose hope in all the amazing talented artists with heart out there, lots of talented young artists that need support.
Wow-I can't believe I can turn into UA-cam and watch Mike Douglas, Liberace, and Lou Ferrigno on the same stage. I'm sure I saw it as a kid, but don't remember. I love that any thing I could possibly want to see from literally any time is just here. The uploaders are my heroes. Great job-thank you!
Lou knew exactly what was going on here..and he held his own with these two seasoned stage performers....a time when performers were kinder to one another. Great TV!
Ferrigno returned to bodybuilding, competing for the 1992 and 1993 Mr. Olympia titles. Finishing 12th and 10th, respectively, he then turned to the 1994 Masters Olympia, where his attempt to beat Robbie Robinson and Boyer Coe, he officially retired 14 years after this video clip.
@@FM19MONTH What does a deaf police officer have to do with all the wonderful people in the good ole days? Btw, I grew up not too far from Lou. Basically the same era. A little later. It was worse then than it is now.
It's so much healthier to be thinner than have mass. A person who can run 20 miles is in way better shape than a person who can bench 400lbs. A lot of lifters.realise this as they get older. My buddy lifted his whole life.. And now in his 60s he's way more proud of how much distance he can put on the treadmill than how much he can deadlift
@@robertwemberly923 have you EVER seen a old man that's big.. never. Ever seen a very old man that's slim.. all the time. Humans are built to run. We are naturally the best long distance runners in earth.
The producers knew EXACTLY what they were doing. Lou Ferrigno is one of the most perfectly developed men that ever lived. Liberace was....well....Liberace. Let's get them together and have a show. I miss these "innocent" times.
Paul Lavallet they ought to put these old shows on when they run out of soap operas they can’t be working, pretty soon I’m sure they’ll be all caught up!!?? I don’t know how far ahead they’ve recorded w/this virus and all!? They need to put these shows on I just can’t believe they’re just going to go to waste!!?? 😭 recycle these, Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, Laugh-In all those shows that made you laugh and can be watched while children are around!! PLEASE!!! I hope someone who can do something about it is reading this lol
Lou Ferrigno and Liberace playing the piano together! Just when I thought I had seen everything on UA-cam! LOL Id bet Lou got a lot of hazing from his friends at the gym over this! lol
Mr. Billy Joel would most certainly give Liberace a run for his money. Victor Borge as well... Liberace was a great pianist, indeed but he was more flash and bling than anything else. NOT to take away from his greatness AT ALL! Liberace was a true American Treasure and talent... By all means..!
@@Wookie8058 lmao, Liberace was a genuine prodigy that studied under Paderowski and played seriously with symphony orchestras. He would've blown Joel and Borge off the stage (as accomplished as the latter two were).
I met Lou twice in Toronto when I was kid... if you think he looked huge on the MD show, you should of seen him in person... I was 11 first time I saw him, couldn’t sleep for a week wishing one day to look like him👍💪💪
Lou is a "man amongst men"...even today at 62 years old (2016). But remember....God wants us all to be humble.....muscles fade, money is spent, "stuff fades"...but our spirits go on...and if we're lucky.....very lucky....we have God to listen to our pleas. Muscles are great for earth....but, love and spirit trump all bicep power.
steroidsR4losers ... Steroids should be legal, and steroids alone never made anyone big. It requires serious training and exercise. The steroid/health dangers are sensationalised myths.
**Lou Ferrigno** "Big Lou" Is **The** **Man** Of Bodybuilders!!!!!!! His Dedication And Devotion To Bodybuilding, Make Him A Great Impact Among Bodybuilders Today. Don't Get Me Wrong; Therd Are Many, Many Great Bodybuilders Who Are Great!!!!!!! **Lou Ferrigno** Is **Special**
What an ignorant comment. If Lou were being instructed by Sammy Davis Jr, would you comment that Lou is so great because he has no problems taking instructions from a black man? I don't think so.
I met Lou at a Dukes of Hazard get together and car show back in 2012. I was surprised at how mushy his fingers were. I guess he didn't tense up so as not to break my fingers. I ask about working with Bill Bixby and he had nothing but good and fondness to say about him. Gods speed Lou.
I read a comment here about TV being shitty in the 70s. Really? TV after the 70s has went downhill fast. By the way.... all the people commenting on Lou Ferrigno's accent.... he's virtually deaf in case you didn't know.
Robert Bittles Gotta love the ignorant snowflakes that clown on Lou, having no clue he was deaf. 😂 I want traps like his, some of the best I've seen besides Tom Hardy in modern times.
REALLY, tell 'em Robert. Whoever made that comment just don't have a clue what they are talking about & you know what's even sadder is all of the in th 70's & before that they are missing out on & about your comment on Lou.......is he a class act or what? He has always been one of my favorites as an actor & as a REAL person.
@@i.cabrera7971 isee Thanks but for me body with a big stomach does not fit to be for body builders Look at steeve reeves Aronod Lou ferrigno you can hardly see their stomach which is flat
blue Love yea. True. Its the hgh of today. Thats why they have to differentiate now the classic body competition for the lean look of the golden age of body building
In this video it's 1980... The 3rd season of the world wide hit T.V. show the Incredible Hulk. At over 300lbs of pure muscle, Lou is Literally the Biggest T.V. Star in the World. Had he decided to compete in the 1980 Mr. Olympia he would have dwarfed defending 3 time champion Frank Zane and humilated the scrawny 220lbs Arnold Schwarzenegger who in his Worst shape ever, still won the Olympia...
Arnold actually only weighed 212-213 pounds onstage at the 1980 Mr. Olympia. He was closer to 225 pounds onstage at the 1975 Mr. O. In 1980, Lou was closer to 280 pounds at this point of his life. His best ever shape was in 1982/1983 when he was getting in shape for his Hercules role where he weighed between 262 and 271 pounds.
***** yes, but that's normal as they get into their 50s and 60s. They no longer need to consume massive amounts of food/roids to stay at some 'competition weight'. Lou has nowhere near this bulk now, but he's still super toned, big compared to regular people, can wear normal clothes.
"LOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE MAN,NO ONE ELSE COULD HAVE PLAYED THE HULK LIKE HIM"

I met Mr.ferrigno, in 1986 in my city of nashua, new Hampshire.he was such a nice lovely guy.i hope to meet him a again very soon.

I know!!! Very very enjoyable.
Lou Ferrigno always comes off as a classy guy.
Met Lou Ferrigno and was able to shake his hand. Big guy!
Lou knew exactly what was going on here..and he held his own with these two seasoned stage performers....a time when performers were kinder to one another. Great TV!
rickw1100 Bill Bixby & Jack Colvin mentored him on the show...so I’m sure he knew all the moves
he was a seasoned stage performer as well, just not so many speaking parts.
Cool upload. Liberace was a wonderful entertainer. Thanks.
Wow, Lou was really year's ahead of his time.
He should have never retired so early.
The real Hulk !!
Ferrigno returned to bodybuilding, competing for the 1992 and 1993 Mr. Olympia titles. Finishing 12th and 10th, respectively, he then turned to the 1994 Masters Olympia, where his attempt to beat Robbie Robinson and Boyer Coe, he officially retired 14 years after this video clip.
dude. the man needs a break from lifting 55 gallon drums. he cant lift for ever. bones and joints cant handle heavy lifting anymore.
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT LOUFERRIGNO IS SO MUSCULAR!
My Gosh ! This thickness of muscles !
He worked hard.
Lou was really a big champ !
Even by today's bodybuilding standards, Lou is still huge!
He definitely was and still even today, he is quite large. When he made that comeback in '97, he was making Dorian Yates look small...!!!
That’s why he was the obvious choice for the HULK 😂
@rob foster fuck you litl bitch
"Steroids", "stupids" asholles.
@@Broundwlix lmao don't call a person asshole when you cant even spell right 😂
This was a great piece of television history it was awesome watching Big Lou playing the piano with liberace
At 68 years old Lou just became a police officer. Not as bulked but still in incredible shape.
Are you sure?
Tito ortiz hits just became a politician
A thought one needed to be able to hear in order to become a police officer?
@@j-bro894 with technology, maybe he can! These old shows are good. People were civil and appreciative of each other. Nothing like today!

Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 TO That One!✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨!Russ!
Very nice skit between Lou and Liberace.
Once in a lifetime chance to see the brilliant piano playing up close.
Lou seemed entranced for a sec or two.
Don't make me angry, you won't like me when I'm angry." Lou was and still is, an awesome person and just as nice as can be!
Lou seems like a genuinly great person.
Seems but from what I see and heard I'm not so sure..do some research...u may find out something things.
The producers knew EXACTLY what they were doing. Lou Ferrigno is one of the most perfectly developed men that ever lived. Liberace was....well....Liberace. Let's get them together and have a show. I miss these "innocent" times.
Agreed
Merv was also on the same team as Liberace, old queens creeping on lou
@@andrewtheipadauthority5565 would they still be creeps if they were two old women?
1980 was certainly a better time than 2022. Miss the 70s and 80s a lot.
LF was hilarious on The King of Queens tv series. Talented guy.
This is,when tv was clean and fun for the whole family
Paul Lavallet totally right 👍👍
So much so that he really couldn't play...
@steroidsR4losers Look who's talking calling other people imbeciles when in fact you're the imbecile.

Now that's what we call a body builder. Lou is so big and so incredible.
Oh my God Lou Ferrigno such a wonderful man God bless you always
Lou looks amazing here
Lou Ferrigno and Liberace playing the piano together!
Just when I thought I had seen everything on UA-cam! LOL
Id bet Lou got a lot of hazing from his friends at the gym over this! lol
Big Louie - the reason I started lifting weights in 1978
Lou... what a good sport!
I loved these shows as a kid in the 70s...Yes I watched too much TV but I loved it...
Liberace was just amazing pianist and superb entertainer. No one comes close to him today.
James Bond A Bond fan here - how did you get away with this UA-cam name?!
Mr. Billy Joel would most certainly give Liberace a run for his money.
Victor Borge as well...
Liberace was a great pianist, indeed but he was more flash and bling than anything else.
NOT to take away from his greatness AT ALL!
Liberace was a true American Treasure and talent... By all means..!

The greatest bodybuilder n a true hulk ever produced in body building history.
What a gifted and very talented person. R.I.P.
He is still alive dude. :)
@@jadrankosidran5193 he talking about the musician
@@jadrankosidran5193 Lol
What about the rest of them ?
No pregnancy look no nasty veins everywhere no thick skin. Looks of huge muscle and natural looking which makes it even more pleasant to the eye
Liberace probably loved seeing Lou without his shirt!😂
You mean without pants.
@@milesmayhem5440 Well that too!😂😂
He liked slim blonde guys. So maybe not so much.
Mike D. was gay as well.
As he was a power bottom, probably not so much.

No pregnant looking stomachs back then.

I saw Luo at LAX many many years ago riding a golf cart. He was bigger than the golf cart.
I think Liberace wanted to play "hide the salami" with big Lou
Big Lou
Damn. He was huge
still really muscular for an older guy, but obviously a good 40-50 lbs lighter.
***** yes, but that's normal as they get into their 50s and 60s. They no longer need to consume massive amounts of food/roids to stay at some 'competition weight'. Lou has nowhere near this bulk now, but he's still super toned, big compared to regular people, can wear normal clothes.
Lou was ripped back in the day😂
So was his clothes
he still is🤷♂️
Lou & Arnold are my idol.
Liberace is like "oh my'
There's a switch, Liberace putting clothes ON a muscled-up man. :)
Nice memories! ❤️
Lou is huge !!!!
Im am SO glad this video is a thing.
Look awesome Lou 👍👍...
