You have to give Carson credit. He does what a great talk show host should do, he does not interrupt Walter at all. Sadly today's hosts would be jumping in to give their two cents worth. Great moment from a classic show!
Yes! Jimmy Fallon especially would interupt him at least a dozen times. I stopped watching him few years back because afte a while he started to be quite annoying in my eyes
Because it’s all about them and their agenda. I’m lucky I grew up with Carson. Unfortunately I need you tube to watch them now. Mixed emotions indeed. Like a bus full of liberals going off a cliff with 3 empty seats.
Couldnt agree with u more all of em talk show hosts just want the spotlight , btw the only guest who forced them to just shut up was robin williams because if any of them hosts wanted to crack a joke or say something smart he will always outperform them and make them look ridiculous
Very interesting to compare this Matthau with the man interviewed by Parkinson (first on his own, then with the legendary George Burns) here: ua-cam.com/video/ijClM7c5Jx4/v-deo.html
@@justindenney-hall5875 if you haven't seen it, or not in a long time, out to sea is another classic. Even odd couple 2 had its funny moments. But Out to sea is just as good as the grumpy movies.
@@hw5091 I watched "Out to Sea" for the first time last year, and I haven't seen either of the "Odd Couple" films but they are on my Cinematic to do list Namaste.
Walter Matthau tells a great story. I knew the punchline to this joke after the bit about the orange juice in a urine cup even though I never heard this particular joke before. It's what I call a passive-aggressive joke and there are many versions of it. And you can even make up your own version involving a customer/client/patient and any type of service provider. The one that I first heard goes something like this. . . A man is checking his baggage at the airline counter heading for Orlando, Florida. He has three suitcases with him. He tells the airline agent, "I'd like to send the first suitcase to Chicago, the second suitcase to Las Vegas, and the third suitcase to Philadelphia." The airline agent says, "I'm sorry, sir, we can't do that. We can only send your baggage to your Orlando destination." "Oh yeah? Well, you didn't seem to have any problem doing that last week!" That said, Walter's hospital version has a better buildup.
Matthau was a terrific actor, and a great story teller. I was fortunate one day and got to meet him when he came to visit Jack Lemmon on the set of “Dad” he truly is a guys guy, he and Lemmon both were salt of the earth and left us with great entertainment 👏🏽
That's like the old one about a jazz drummer flying from New York to LA with several cases containing his drum kit. Asks the woman at the check in counter if he can have the big square one sent to Denver and the two round ones sent to Seattle. I'm sorry sir, we cant do that. Cue the punch line. I think a pro like Matthau could read the phone book and make it funny.
I also enjoy that name. I came up with Walter from the movie On Golden Pond. That was the FISH that Norman (Henry Fonda) and Billy Jr. (Doug McKeon) were trying to catch.😊
I had a neighbor who was a real character. One eye and one hand the other being chopped off in a silage chopper. He was in the hospital and took his orange juice and put it in the container that he was supposed to use for a urine sample. When the nurse came in and asked him for his urine sample, he held up the cup and said "it looks a little cloudy, let me run it through again" and drank it. The nurse nearly fainted and Fred laughed his butt off.
Walter Matthau ( /ˈmæθaʊ/; nacido como Walter John Matthow, Lower East Side, Nueva York, 1 de octubre de 1920-Santa Mónica, California, 1 de julio de 2000) fue un actor estadounidense de origen judío ruso-lituano, ganador de los premios Óscar y Globo de Oro. Ganó el Óscar al mejor actor de reparto en 1966 por su papel en The Fortune Cookie (En bandeja de plata). Formó con Jack Lemmon una de las parejas cómicas más memorables de la historia. Colaboraron en diez películas juntos, entre las que destacan The Odd Couple (La extraña pareja, 1968), de Gene Saks, y The Front Page (Primera plana, 1974), de Billy Wilder. Continuando con sus roles cómicos, interpretó otros papeles que cosecharon gran éxito en Cactus Flower (Flor de cactus, 1969), Hello, Dolly!, La pareja chiflada, de Herbert Ross y Piratas, de Roman Polański.
I wonder if there are different cultures of jews.for eg when he was growing up in Noo Yawk were there the serious Jews and the comedy ones or the sense of humor something that is common to all jews?
who let agent k from men in black slash rick dicker from the incredible on tv, he wipe minds everywhere he goes, now that this is online were gonna need a really big memery flash LOL
I heard about Walter Matthau during the time he played Oscar Madison on Broadway. It was said that he was very unpretentious and never played the big time star. He was very friendly with all of the workers in the the theater. The ones who had to change sets or clean up. One of them said he was a mensch.
I thought I heard everything having worked in a dietary kitchen in a nursing home for 20 years. That story was a topper. I have always said if I end up in nursing home I want to go to that one... Just so I could complain about the food I had good teachers from the Resident who he before me.
R.I.P. Walter Matthau 1920-2000 grumpy old men and the odd couple were very great films and Johnny Carson too a very good talk show host Some people didn’t liked him because he was a Jerk

Disgusting ! Why would Carson allow this idiot to tell sich a story?
@@ManagerGuy1 Because it is a late night show and we are all adults. At least some of us are.
His timing is so perfect, has you on edge waiting for the punchline, total genius.
Very interesting to compare this Matthau with the man interviewed by Parkinson (first on his own, then with the legendary George Burns) here: ua-cam.com/video/ijClM7c5Jx4/v-deo.html
I got there a split second before the punchline
walter matthau just knew how to tell the story - a great actor!!
Well I think its an old joke
You know what is good part of Walter Matthau's performance saying a joke , he is not in a hurry. Says the joke slowly taking his time
What a fantastic man Walter was...I miss him and Jack soo much!
I miss them too, Grumpy old men and Grumpier old men are two of my favorite movies Namaste.

One of the best jokes I've ever heard! I really wasn't expecting any thing great though, which really made it even better...genius
I remember watching this interview with Walter back in the day, and this bit still cracks me up.
No one can touch Walter, his voice, his face, his walk, didn't have to say much, just thought he was the best
We don’t have people like this anymore
One of my favorite movies is ‘Hopscotch’. Matthau is hilarious.
Panache homes we don’t have comedians like Matthau and Jack Lemmon any more they were legends as was Johnny Carson
)m
He really deserved an Oscar for "The Sunshine Boys"!
Been trying to buy Buddy Buddy on Amazon with no luck. Any suggestions?
Coffee just squirted out my nose! Brilliant! LoL
one of my all time favorite actors. Priceless story!!
Matthau...an absolute CLASSIC!
Omigod, Tooooo funny!!! Nobody delivers as drolly as Matthau!!! LMAO!!!
One of the best there was or will be. R. I. P. Walter and thank you for all the years.
Norm MacDonald would have LOVED this one!
An old one.......but Walter sure can tell it!
,,,,,,, LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You didn't even have to wait for the punchline, every line was funny.
Cap
how beautiful that humor is
We miss you Walter Matthau.
That delivery was the best in the business.
Everyone should love a great storyteller, made my day. Thank you.
That man had his own special magic. R.I.P.
That joke setup is older than Walter...but is always funny when told this well!
Alan King told the same hospital joke on television before 1982. Both men had great comic timing!

Walter never age at all his whole life! *Legend*

Johnny NOT interrupting. Today's Talk Show "Hosts" should learn from this ...
This was on TV Tonight Thursday 26,2020
From March 23,1982
Love Johnny Carson he is So Funny
Walter was the best!! I named my cat after him and Walter Cronkite! I just thought that Walter was a great name for two classy people!! 😍
This Walter agrees. I wish I were a quarter as classy as Matthau and Cronkite.
I also enjoy that name. I came up with Walter from the movie On Golden Pond. That was the FISH that Norman (Henry Fonda) and Billy Jr. (Doug McKeon) were trying to catch.😊
That meal would come with a bill for $800 in 2020.

Script sucks kid, I owe my bookie 2 million....
I don’t get it. Why did the nurse serve that yesterday?
Why'd he change the spelling of his surname?
Even as an older man Walter just seemed so youthful and full of life.

I wonder if there are different cultures of jews.for eg when he was growing up in Noo Yawk were there the serious Jews and the comedy ones or the sense of humor something that is common to all jews?
hmm yes, just like other people....
;)
Well it's always preferable that the one cutting your shmackle within the first week of your life isn't attempting too much physical humour.
He always has a joke regarding a toilet.... It's kinda odd. I seek for every interview and always a bathroom joke
The original odd couple, Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, Helluva good movie.💜😈
Terrific actor, but what possible reason did he give for changing the spelling of his surname?
I really didn't see that punch coming.... :)
who let agent k from men in black slash rick dicker from the incredible on tv, he wipe minds everywhere he goes, now that this is online were gonna need a really big memery flash LOL
absolutely hilarious...
He is something else
Walter Matthau was my favorite actor!
He was great in The Odd Couple (movie 1968).
I heard about Walter Matthau during the time he played Oscar Madison on Broadway.
It was said that he was very unpretentious and never played the big time star.
He was very friendly with all of the workers in the the theater. The ones who had to change sets or clean up.
One of them said he was a mensch.
Such an old joke it is often on my old mind. But welcome to it youngsters it’s a good one.
Beats the so-called Aristocrats joke by several state lines.
LOL Damn! Walter reminds me of multiple relatives of mine. He's a funny guy.
Funny how?
chris gast aren't you lucky lol.
Crazy uncle jim
One of a kind...
I thought I heard everything having worked in a dietary kitchen in a nursing home for 20 years. That story was a topper.
I have always said if I end up in nursing home I want to go to that one... Just so I could complain about the food I had good teachers from the Resident who he before me.
I miss Walter.
Clasdic matthau
that's so good! such a classic delivery
I loved WM’s movies so much. RIP
I ate at this hospital!
This is funny shit, Walter was a genius.
Can someone explain the joke?
The simplicity of humor.
I swear he could have been a standup comedian .. easy.
Matthau was old school awesome 😎
Very good!👏👏👏😄🤣🤣
Love this Guy!
Doesn't matter that the punchline is obvious ten seconds in, delivery and tone of voice is exemplary.
In Germany a Legend !!! Poker !!!
Compare this with these days SNL humor and acting.
He was hilarious in t'he odd. Couple
The stale breakfast promisingly steer because gallon naturally fetch around a aloof riddle. delightful, bent authorisation
R.I.P. Walter Matthau 1920-2000 grumpy old men and the odd couple were very great films and Johnny Carson too a very good talk show host Some people didn’t liked him because he was a Jerk
Nice one.
