I must've watched all of his movies. I can't say that about every actor out there. You just know if Tom Hanks is in it..it must be good. He deserves every accolade and appreciation for his craft. And now he is in Elvis. looking forward to seeing that soon.
I remember when Philadelphia came out in the theatres. Tom took a hit from a lot of people, for playing that part. But he was the only one who could have played it.
I met Tom Hanks at a recording of Facts of Life, tv show. He was so Awesome! Gave me and my friend an autograph and came on our school bus with us and we had so much fun with him for a while.
From comedy to drama, Tom Hanks is everything an actor is supposed to be.. I've always said that great acting is when the actor takes a scene and makes the audience feel like it's really happening and not just reading from a script. Tom had the ability to do that. A well deserved honor.
Well said. I was raised on the greats from my dad Grant,Flynn,Tracy,Fonda, Stewart,Peck, and then when I was a teenager in the 70's with George C.Scott, Newman,Redford,Eastwood,Wayne, Connery,Nicholson,Brando...you aren't gonna top those guys, but yeah he has an excellent body of work. When I first saw him I wasn't impressed,. I was dead wrong. His face and eyes are so expressive in a moving scene...doesn't have to say a thing. That's when you have a Hell of an Actor.
Wow, I didn't know where Martin was going with that last number, but what show stopper. Great and fitting tribute to one of the finest American artists of any generation.
I was thinking the same thing. A once-in-a-lifetime event and she agrees to sit in back of him. Extremely understanding of her. They couldn't move one of those other people out of the front row??? I'm surprised how few people have commented on that.
Have you been alive very long? The most beloved actor of all time is probably still James Stewart. (My question is genuinely curious as you said Tom Hanks is the most beloved actor in *your* lifetime.)
I’ve seen Tom in the Toy Story series, Polar Express, the Terminal, Turner & Hooch, the new Pinocchio, Big, Forrest Gump, A League of their Own, Sleepless in Seattle, Splash, Saving Mr Banks and You Got Mail
Tom is one of the ONLY actors out there that can really make you feel what each character is going through. He plays the dramatic actors so well, its amazing!
Lauren Poland From what everyone who has met Tom Hanks or is a personal friend of his say that the best attribute which defines Tom is his big heart, empathy for his fellow man, and his true morality.
absolutely. the roles he takes on are so diverse but he just has a way to make you relate to every character he has ever played. I will forever be a fan.🌹
My father´s favorite actor...who became my brother´s favorite actor...and later on...my own favorite....we tip our hats to you...the one and only...Tom Hanks
Such a class act. He was genuinely in awe of all the performers. He was thankful, and he was the first to stand in applause! He was being celebrated on that occasion, but it felt like he was just a member of the audience, and in humility, gave a standing ovation for all the performances. Truly, not only talent, but also a good heart.
I am so GLAD ..... that I live at a time when I can enjoy EVERYTHING this man does. I wanted my mom to see his new movie "Forrest Gump"... but as she was coming to the end of her life, she said she just didn't have the strength. "Tell me the story." So I did. And she wept and laughed along. It was the last story she heard....and she LOVED it. Thank you for that wonderful memory, Mr. Hanks.
Mc Kenna oh so sweet. My condolences to you on the loss of your mom. I lost my mom 2 years ago. I was with her when she died and I too told her a story too but it was about her. In later years of her life she wanted me to tell her a story but I did not know any and could not create one. Not until the day she died. Thank you for sharing this because it makes me glad to know that I am not odd for what I did.
Thank you so much for sharing your story💕 My mom is from a generation in my country that never really had a chance to go to the cinema all that much... As an elder she got to see Forrest Gump though and rarely have I seen her as happy as she did viewing that magical movie❤️ Now she's fully institutionalized due to dementia and I'm so glad we had that night of movie magic😍.
This admittedly isn't directly related, but I still think speaks very well of Tom Hanks, and your comment reminded me of it... as much as I enjoyed Robert Zemeckis' film "Flight", it came out I believe Christmas of 2015, starring Denzel Washington as a commercial airline pilot who pulls off an unprecedented emergency landing with a faulty plane saving the lives of most of the passengers and crew, but the subsequent attention quickly shows he's got some major skeletons in his closet, and was high and drunk while working, meaning he can go to jail for manslaughter for the handful of casualties. Denzel did a very fine job in the role, just as I'd expect him to. But especially considering it was Zemeckis who directed it, who's already worked with Hanks a number of times, I couldn't help but wonder if he was cast, it could've been a truly legendary performance. He finally played a sort of 'bad guy' character in "Road To Perdition" in that he was a mob hit man, but he was still basically the protagonist of the story. I'd really love to see him go to even a more extreme of a gray area place in a role, and it seemed like "Flight" could've been perfect for that.
Tom Hanks can never hurt a movie since he is "outstanding in all he does no matter what. That's why with his genuine humor and down to earth attitude, we can't help wanting to see more of him.
I love how in awe he is of the service members who performed on his behalf. he is a stand up guy. It would of been really cool to not only perform for him, but also the President.
I would say he's not the GREATEST actor, but has been in more movies that i've loved than any other actor. Anyway you put it though, he's a national treasure
There is no more an actor so more deserving than him. Tom Hanks is the essence of acting. He is the best actor by far. The amazing characters he gets to play.The way he portrays them is amazing.
It's not the SAME exact thing, but it's funny I see this comment because I came to this video as it was over in the 'related' section from the one I'd previously watched, Martin Short getting a Canadian lifetime achievement award, in fact I think that might been in 2014 as well.
@@pdoylemi I want to add that Jimmy Stewart became the first major American movie star to enlist in the United States Army to fight in World War II. Stewart fought his celebrity status to avoid being relegated to duties beyond the lines. From 1943 to 1945, he flew 20 bombing missions as the lead pilot of a B-24 liberator. He didn't fly the milk runs, and his missions included bombing raids to Berlin, Brunswick, Bremen, Frankfurt, and Schweinfurt. His most memorable mission, Stewart served as the flight leader of a 1000 plane raid to Berlin. By the end of the war he had risen to the rank of Colonel. My comment is not about glorifying war, nor about diminishing Tom Hanks' achievements on and off the screen, many of which I am sure we are not aware off due to his modesty. Just like Stewart. I just thought it was worth mentioning.
He is one of my short list of “anything by...” actors. (For those who don’t get it...Q “what movies do you like watching “? A “anything by Tom Hanks...”!
@@johnsimon933 You couldn't even take care of two little thoughts in one comment. Why you felt the need to capitalize 'opinion' I don't know. Perhaps you're emulating a perverse idol?
I thought that Peter Scolari was going to be the big star! That's the essence of Tom Hanks. He macks everyone around him better than they are! Thanks, Om.
Is it possible to have a heart attack from sheer joy and embarrassment? I swear that was about what Tom was going to have. I had tears in my eyes... I can't even _imagine_ Tom's reaction!
I still remember Bosom buddies from my youth. (well I was in my twenties after the Army) and I could not believe how funny this man was. God Bless, Tom, Mr. Hanks, on being one of the most incredible men I've ever seen on the screen.
Love this man! If I met this man, I would not need anything more in this world. His work is so good it affects us all. Does he know how much he affects others with his talent and awesomeness!!! Thanks so much for helping me go on!\
Mrs H 🇬🇧 ... Tom Hanks .... What a Fanbloodytastic actor .... He brought to life so many stories.. I Salute him for his kindness, Morals & Ethics.... He's awesome....Thank you Tom for being YOU ...❤🇬🇧
Tom Hanks is this era’s Jimmy Stewart, which is about the highest accolade that can be given to an actor.
Wow. Your opinion sucks
@@mikerichmond9086 yours does.
This is accurate !
I think he's greater.
I must've watched all of his movies. I can't say that about every actor out there. You just know if Tom Hanks is in it..it must be good. He deserves every accolade and appreciation for his craft. And now he is in Elvis. looking forward to seeing that soon.

Martin Short is incredible at giving homage to others. Such a humble, generous and good person.
Tom is without question one of the greatest and most loved actors of all time ❤ love from Canada 🇨🇦❤
There is no actor past or present that comes close to Tom Hanks. He epitomizes perfection...Congratulations!!
True legend. 5 movies with Spielberg is a proof that Tom is one of the finest actors of our time. God bless.
I came here from the Terminal. I’ve seen better from Tom and I expected more considering Steven is the director
I met Tom Hanks at a recording of Facts of Life, tv show. He was so Awesome! Gave me and my friend an autograph and came on our school bus with us and we had so much fun with him for a while.
A man with morals, ethics, and kindness. Salute to you, Mr. Hanks!
So nice to see an actual president and First Lady supporting the arts
Now that pleasure belongs to Biden

Tom Hanks is this generation’s Jimmy Stewart
All Tom needs is a movie close to Its A Wonderful Life
Thank you, Tom Hanks for being not only a good actor but good honest human being and role model.
Speechless, just speechless. Tom Hanks deserved every moment of that.
Tom Hanks is a living legend.
No longer.....dead as a doornail.
Wow, I didn't know where Martin was going with that last number, but what show stopper. Great and fitting tribute to one of the finest American artists of any generation.
@Ross Leo yes. We love him. I am a huge Tom Hanks fan!
6:31 Rita standing behind Tom with tears in her eyes looking so proud. Touching...
Questioning why Rita was positioned behind him and not beside. Bump the Obamas over a seat… good grief.
I was thinking the same thing. A once-in-a-lifetime event and she agrees to sit in back of him. Extremely understanding of her. They couldn't move one of those other people out of the front row??? I'm surprised how few people have commented on that.
my favorite tom hanks line "there is no crying in baseball"
Mine is when his character was in a crash and when asked if he was pain,he answered softly,with a grimace,told the medic "a little".Ya think!
Martin Short is a National Treasure for U.S and Canada LOVE HIM FOREVER
Tom Hanks is an icon. In the words of Captain Miller from Saving Private Ryan, he earned it.
Dan Garcia ~ I loved it when Steven Spielberg said that! Who could have says it better?!?
He is the most beloved and true actor of my lifetime.

Whos hurting you and how?
Tom Hanks has done a lot of movies my favorite movie

Tom Hanks beat the shit out me at a restaurant in 1996.

We must protect Tom Hanks at all costs. I don't know how he didn't cry all through this.
Love watching Tom and Rita's genuine reaction to everything
Martin Short is the most entertaining man in the room...any room. And what a show at the end!
I can't imagine being so deeply loved by so many people.
I've been a total fan of his since Bosom Buddies days, and he never disappoints, on stage or off.
Who knew when Bosom Buddies was airing, he’d be lauded like this.
I absolutely adore Tom Hanks. My favorite of his is Road To Perdition.
Mines Toy Story
Had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back one of the most humblest people I've ever met. Incredibly down to earth and so nice
Tom’s reaction to the kid tap dancing is priceless! A true living legend!
If only Mumble can see him now
Can't think of a more deserving actor
He's one of the best.
Yes plenty. Robert Redford, Tom Cruise, and many more.
I call Bull Shit!!!

Calm down kids it's just a figure of speech I'm sure no need to get your panies in a bunch.

Esas canciones antiguas son canciones muy significativas y hermosas, me encanta, me recuerda mis viejos recuerdos del pasado 😘😘❤
Tom is one of the few modern day actors, who would have been a legend in the 40's 50's and 60's
his reactions to everything are probably one the best things about this :) So much joy

This is, by far, THE BEST TRIBUTE ever given to a LEGEND!!!

Tom hanks is a treasure of the world

Yes and he gets better with every film.

Wonderful evening honoring Tom Hanks! 👍🇺🇸🎶
There is no more an actor so more deserving than him. Tom Hanks is the essence of acting. He is the best actor by far. The amazing characters he gets to play.The way he portrays them is amazing.
Rita having to whisper to him who Pentatonix is made me crack up
He actually said “look at this,” not “who is this.”
Tom Hanks is truly the last of the great actors. Unbelievable talent and what he has done in the movies will not be sadly seen again.

So heartwarming to watch this tribute to my all time favorite Tom Hanks. A brilliant and a great actor of this generation.
The way we get to see & hear our stories are the movies....what a privilege to know this fine actor!!!!!
First movie I saw with him was Splash! And I love every movie with him! He is a living legend! All blessing to him!

Thank you Mr. Hanks. You always told life stories as you want everyone to see and feel it in the heart.
How are you doing today my name is Eric
That speech in Cast Away "I have ice in my glass" is awesome. And most recently the Captain Phillips scene where he is crying is just incredible.
Yes! I love Tom Hanks, and I adore Martin Short. Both great actors, and wonderful, the best men ever! Ever!
This is by far the best finale ever and for the most wonderful person ever.
Nice job Martin Short! Great tribute to Om Thanks!!

@@gazorbo.
I agree - I was aware of hi record - I've often compared it to Reagan who did his service making training and propaganda films.
And I love the fact that Jimmy paid his agent 10% of his military pay while he was in service. Witty AND fair!!
@@lonelyglen
He really DID that? That's MORE than fair - it's not as if his agent got him the gig!
This was a tremendous honor to the actor we all love, one who gave us joy in every movie he performed in. Thanks Mr. Hanks!
Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers alone makes him Hall of Fame
Throw in the fact that he can make you laugh your ass off in the Money Pit and it's game over, so talented.
@@krisfrederick5001 The Money Pit 👍😁🍻
"Home, crap home."

From Happy Days to now...he's always been fun to watch.
