I know people don't respect his acting abilities but I have to say this man knows the secret to being successful at anything he does. Multiple Mr. Olympia titles, best selling author, highest paid action hero and governor. He has had multiple successful carriers while many struggle to have one.
Funny how most people love to call him an idiot, automatically do an Arnold impersonation and say something negative about him. The truth is he is a smart, incredibly motivated individual who possessed greatness from an early age and did all the right things throughout his life be the successful man he is. You can see in the interview that he truly cares about people and their health and how to be more fit. I truly feel that bodybuilders/muscular people will always be criticized by others simply because they cannot be like them or they lack their desire and work ethic. Those people will always feel inferior. So all they can do is put people like Arnold down and badmouth him.
You could also say it really boils down to genetics and luck. Hard work, dedication are all genetic traits that Arnold was lucky to be born with. He has said on numerous occasions he wanted to get out of Austria any chance he could and he found an outlet to do that through bodybuilding. He also had luck on his side. He happened to be in his late teens-early twenties when bodybuilding was still in it's infancy and had yet to explode. He met the right people who helped him get to America, he had the name and he never lost the desire to be the best. Being a 7 time Mr. Olympia is a testament to that. I know it's written in our Declaration of Independence, but I don't believe all men are created equal. Some people are born with better abilities than others.
I happen to disagree, Environment and external forces do impact an individual only to a certain extent. Why are there so many stupid, lazy people walking the Earth now. Far too many as far as I'm concerned. Obviously stupidity and laziness has some survival value.
***** I think Arnold was at his best in the mid-seventies when he was a champion bodybuilder. He was like 240 then. In this video he looks as if he's slimmed down a little.
Screaming Dean He looked like a beast in Conan, and even if he did slim down a tiny bit, it's just because the steroids started dwindling lol. Arnold on his worst day was better than 99% of people on their best day.
The Governator offered words of wisdom. So many women are afraid to touch weights because they thought they'd get too big. They don't understand that they don't have as much natural testosterone as men to get jacked diesel. Even some guys who take juice struggle to get huge.
No wonder he became so successful. He makes a good impression. Not arrogant or cocky, but also not passive and shy. Add his exotic "austrian" touch and you have an upcoming superstar.
What's fascinating about this interview is you can see Arnold trying to cultivate a well-spoken manner, which he dropped later on - he wanted to come across as intelligent and articulate here, no doubt to push back against the meathead bodybuilder stereotype. My guess is when he became an action movie star, his priorities shifted, and he wanted to support that role by sounding "tougher" in his speech. I think a lot of people don't even realise this version of Arnold ever existed.
I'm a big Arnold fan, but I think you are right about that. Something I read that I found interesting, I read that as Arnold started to slowly lose his thick Austrian accent, he would go to special speech classes to keep his thick Austrian accent lol. I think he still today takes speech classes to maintain the accent. The thing is, in Hollywood they want to market you a certain way, in Arnold's case it's his thick, intimidating Austrian accent, and strength, so he had to maintain that image in order to continue making all those action films like Terminator, Commando, etc etc. I still think Arnold is a good guy, and my favorite action star of all-time, but he definitely is now a product of Hollywood.
@@justinexplainseverything1554 I don't think so, I think he literally just still has the accent. Once you have an accent it's hard to lose it, just living in a country where it's spoken doesn't magically make it go away.
Stallone went through this phase also. In an attempt to curtail the general public's idea of him, as Rocky Balboa, he started presenting himself as an educated man (which he is). But he was trying too hard at a certain point, and it was obvious. He would wear business attire with spectacles to make him look like an intellectual. If you've ever seen the movie Tango & Cash, the look and persona he was going for was in full display in that movie. Arnold Schwarzenegger has always been very calculated. Despite this version of himself, shown in this interview, he had always tailored his demeanor towards his goals. However, he maintained a fairly consistent persona across the years, as he understood his strength and value was in being himself.
He's so very intelligent and I can imagine the language barrier only gives the impression at times especially through media that he's one particular way . He's multifaceted and of course he uses as much of his time on earth not squandering his life
I'm a woman and I do one hour of cardio every day, then every 2-3 days I do weight lifting with pretty heavy weights for me. In six months I didn't lose weight, I gained 4kg instead but was looking better than ever. I was wondering why, but then I realized I gained that much muscle. Now I know that muscle surely won't make me look ugly, and I'm honestly glad to hear Arnold approve of females who lift, rather than making a fuss about it like my dad and my older brother do. They're so afraid of me becoming some bodybuilder without even realizing that's not the body type I want, nor will I ever take roids. Being toned is my goal for now, along with good stamina.
Arnold said it all: women have less muscle cells/fibers in than men. We will never become a Conan by going to gym. Even men who have abundant different muscle cells (endurance cells x explosion cells) and no matter how they train they will never be a conan because they wont grow. The becoming ugly thing: well I do a heavy job too, train jiu jitsu, have strong shoulders and back (not masculine but good definition) and everyone admire them, specially women at the gym. This thing they say "oh you will be ugly" is a way society found to keep women away from "masculine only" things that can make them sronger and independent
@@valeriataylor8337 I would say you can go for a perfect looking figure for like say a Scarlet Johanson in Avengers. Looks strong, perfect and attractive. I
I love how he acknowledges women who want to build muscle. I personally don’t want to get huge, but I’m hypotonic (low muscle tone), so building muscle is a little harder for me. He’s a cool guy in my books.

Oh how times have changed.... We have exchanged the fine quality of honesty for the dodgy/fluffy/sugar coated political correctness...
Wulf Well Arnold is actually espousing a healthy lifestyle and given the strength of things these days like veganism and yoga its actually more like he's espousing an ideal thats ahead of its time.
BollocksUtwat It's still ahead of our time. You go be a proponent of being in shape, and watch all the politically correct sheep tell you that fat is beautiful.
Wulf And yet yoga is huge and people eat healthier, fast food is forced to sell salads, organics are everywhere... and you get hung up on a fringe of extremists who bark at anything? Get real. Most people would hear this and be fine with it. There are always people saying daft nonsense in every generation. That its daft and they're so vehement makes them stand out.
+Robby Suter Right.....in the mid 60's when I was born, expectant mothers would smoke........wtf? :) I guess that's why I never started smoking......I had enough before I was born...LOL
the sad part is that the majority of american women are overweight today. Way more are out of shape today than they were back in 1979, that's for damn sure!
+Uncl Dolan if you listened to the entire thing, you'd see that his point of view is pretty progressive even for today. most women (even generation "x" or "millenials") still don't know that it's okay to work out with more than just 5lb dumbells. gaining muscle isn't that simple. if you don't naturally have a lot of testosterone, it's hard to gain muscle. but not impossible.
+vstarblackie He probably plays up the accent now because it's kind of a comedy thing now. Arnold is savvy enough to know to play up anything that gets him attention.
Green Bear regardless if you use steroids or not; it takes hard work and dedication to get that big. Get your lazy ass up and go lift a cheeseburger for atleast 8 sets of 8. You need it, and you've earned it fuckstick.
***** Its easy for black women just look at Serena Williams you couldn't be that hench and ripped even if you took roids, so speak for yourselves you genetically weak girly men.
Dan0101010101010 Serena Williams is a man. Check it out on UA-cam. Also check out Michelle Obama is a man. They do give some very good arguments to prove their case.
Like someone said, most women are lazy. They just don;t want to put in that much effort. I see women walking on treadmill the whole time barely breaking a sweat and I wonder why they bother. Especially when walking is free. Dont need a gym for that. Ive done Body Pump classes where I look like the red hulk pumped dripping sweat and other women in the class lifting light weight which is no effort for them. They seem to think just being there is working out.
@@Steves_fish in like all aspects of his life lol The Goat of Bodybuilding, probably one of the most charismatic people in the last 100 years. Amazing action film hero. A great role model, and his ability to lift up other individuals and inspire them
I met Arnold right after this. He was doing a promotional tour for Conan The Barbarian movie. My mom was taking pictures with her Polaroid camera and I was hanging on his arm (I had a big crush on him). He looks at my mom and says, "Iz daht yuh mudder?" I mumbled "Uh-huh" and he said, "She tek peek-chur?" I mumbled "Uh-huh". He said "Okay", smiled and my mom snapped photo. He autographed it and I still have it today!!
I just love how Johnny manages to slip one in at the very end. So classic Carson. It's s fascinating that after all these years the issue of women bulking up from weight training is still an issue for many and the other thing is I almost forgot that people used to smoke on TV.
revolutionary. i love how he is so passionate about women working out. he was on top of the world and he used that platform to promote women fitness. i love it.
Arnold smokes to this day. Cigars but you can still get long cancer from them and a host of nastiness in the throat and mouth. But hey he enjoys it, and I'm less of an expert on cigars than cigarettes, but the vast majority of cigarette smokers will not get cancer. A lot of the ones that did smoked several packs a day and it was a little crazy between WW2 into the 80s or 90s. Prior to that people smoked but much more moderately and lung cancer was very rare. I mean don't take it up if you don't do it already, there are like 100 bad things it can do for you for every 2 good ones, but people do exaggerate on the effects.
It’s a great early Arnold interview, funny that he was introduced as a best selling author at that time. Also, never realized Johnny’s backdrops were Bob Ross paintings! Nice upload here
What nonsense. Nobody would get "woke cancelled" for stating the obvious fact that a lot of women are out of shape. You live in a world of make believe. I bet you also believe that Trump won the last election. Ha ha
what he said so many years ago is relevant now due to the fact that women just want to be fit and look great.... who ever says this is sexist must be out of shape and stupid..... he is discussing dicipline.... he is promoting health and fitness. and he is a LEGEND..
The man is a legend and a true go getter. He was running out of women that met his standards so what did he do?? He wrote a book and spent years teaching women how to get into the shape that he wanted them in! A true man of power and control.
Arnold is remarkably charming, poised, and thoughtful for a big hulking guy. Normally, musclebound flexposers are much more inclined to just grunting and grimacing in the direction of everyone they meet.
This is why he was noticed. If you ever watch Pumping Iron (how he got famous) you'll notice how incredibly quick-witted and funny he is. He was also known to be extremely conscious of whenever a camera was on him, and knew when to turn on the personality.
Im guessing this was around the time they were making Conan and he was getting the best acting and elocution training money could buy. That, and rehearsed, lol.
This is why i love the past, arnold wasn't being disrespectful at all he was just telling the truth. It's science and fact and he was being very nice about it. Women have to work 10 x harder at weight lifting and getting the rip body that men have. You be that honest today and there is a fucking protest lul.
+Eliskoopa lol. That's true. He did too many Arnold Schwarzenegger movies after this interview which made him dumber over the years. He should've done more movies that he didn't appear in.
+Eliskoopa English speakers in general spoke with more intellect than they do now. Just take a look at how much of a class act Carson and Charlie Rose was compared to that child Fallon.
I'm a big fan too. He came to America over 50 years ago and he really made a name for himself and he's living the America dream. I continue to root for him.
***** Elizabeth Ashley. She did a lot of work on stage, a few movies in the late '70s, and then a sh*tload of "guest appearances" on '80s TV shows. A total nobody.
I think it's pretty cool how Carson kept the smoking lady from taking over the segment. She tried twice. Her turn was over but still she needed the spotlight. Carson handled it like a boss.
The good ole' days. Life was easier, made more sense and less drama. Social media can disappear, I wouldn't miss it at all. Like the saying goes you don't know how good you have it to lose it. How did this get so bad.
There would have been no way Johnny Carson could have predicted that this man Arnold will be the governor of California in the future. Truly amazing where people's paths take them in life.
thisiselvis is this your opinion based on nothing or you actually did some research and scientific profe that america was free before and is not free now? in what way, for whom and how?
You can keep telling yourself that you don't "have time" to exercise, but *nobody* is that busy that they couldn't put 15 or 20 mins a day for a simple workout. The excuses only go so far and at some point you really have to ask yourself how much does your health mean to you.
Louis C Hard labor is a workout. Most people have sedentary jobs though, so being exhausted because you worked all day (construction, ranching, refinery, firefighter - jobs where people truly work hard) is just as lazy excuse.
wow, the people are being so pleasant and respectful in this talk show. It seems like talk shows these days are filled with obnoxious humor and snide remarks(like conspicuously hidden satirical put downs).
That bit at the end, where Elizabeth Ashley starts into what almost certainly was looking like an extended story, shows why Johnny Carson was the absolute KING of late night hosts. He knew he had to go to commercial, and somehow he had to stop her. He could have just said, "Stop!" but that would have been awkward. Somehow, on the spur of the moment, he comes up with a humorous quip that shuts her down in a natural way and allows them to go to commercial. Nobody realized what he was doing. That is sheer talent. Brilliant.
Gotta give it to Arnold, he is quite the AMAZING PERSON. Credit where credit is due. Just read his whole life story. Very compelling! And inspiring! His motivation, tenacity, endurance and determination is superhuman. And his one liners are also the best, utterly memorable, and hilarious!! :) :)
It's interesting to note that right at the beginning of the interview, the first thing Arnold talks about, is not giving people false hope by removing his shirt and showing his Mr. Olympia physique as he was promoting fitness for the average person. Whereas, nowadays, that's all you see. The "health" industry is flooded with these blessed people who through the magic of genetics have a flawless body with minimal effort. Then they try to foist their "miracle"system on you. They are shameless in their efforts to attain the almighty buck. It's really quite disgusting. After the average joe buys the miracle system and uses it as advertised, then ends up not much different than when he started, ends up feeling worse about himself. Which is the opposite of his intentions when he bought the damn thing.
I actually heard somewhere that he works with a speech therapist even today to keep his accent. It's become such a part of his image that he just went with it.
I love Arnold Schwarzenegger he used to the governor of California and he went back to his movies I meet him to be honest I remember he play with kindergarten and terminater 2 judgement day and his movies are good I do respect Arnold Schwarzenegger alot .
Arnold was running every day during this time and he was down to 199 pounds (his lowest body weight ever as an adult) from his former 250 pounds. Less than a year later he won the 1980 Mr. Olympia and weighed a legit 213 pounds (not the weight he was listed at). During the filming of Conan in 1980/1981 he weighed between 212 and 220 pounds and by the time of Conan The Destroyer and The Terminator in 1984 he was back up to 240 pounds. He gradually lost weight throughout the remainder of the 80's and by the 90's he was down to 210-215 pounds again. Interesting to note, he's also had a hair transplant in recent years and he's lost 3.5" in height since his prime due to knee and hip replacements, as well as having had fused discs in his spine and of course age.
Arnold was very ahead of his time regarding women and lifting weights. women have so been lied to about fitness but here he is 30 years ahead of his time. We should have listened to his advice instead of those bad 80s/90s fitness hacks.
Everyone thinks Arnold is just a muscle-head but he's so well-spoken!
+RustyDockLight Nobody thinks he's a muscle head. Arnold is a übermensch.
+PirateTHESteam1 haha most people do not know that word.
+RustyDockLight lol... ummm he got elected governor of the most populous state.. Obviously not everyone thinks he is just a just a muscle-head
James Rockford Getting elected doesn't mean anything. Look at the idiot in the white house. I get your point though.

If Arnold thinks women were not in shape in 1979, what on earth is he saying about them today?
There are no words....it's completely out of control
5micky2 ultimate version of " get to da choppa"
steroid users should have nothing to say since he cheated himself. Not natural at all.
Green Bear regardless if you use steroids or not; it takes hard work and dedication to get that big. Get your lazy ass up and go lift a cheeseburger for atleast 8 sets of 8. You need it, and you've earned it fuckstick.
*****
LMAO.
GET TO THE SLIM FAST!!!
It's so funny when women say they won't lift because they don't want to get muscular. Like it's easy to do, even for men. :P
***** Its easy for black women just look at Serena Williams you couldn't be that hench and ripped even if you took roids, so speak for yourselves you genetically weak girly men.
Dan0101010101010
Serena Williams is a man. Check it out on UA-cam. Also check out Michelle Obama is a man. They do give some very good arguments to prove their case.
Like someone said, most women are lazy. They just don;t want to put in that much effort. I see women walking on treadmill the whole time barely breaking a sweat and I wonder why they bother. Especially when walking is free. Dont need a gym for that. Ive done Body Pump classes where I look like the red hulk pumped dripping sweat and other women in the class lifting light weight which is no effort for them. They seem to think just being there is working out.
What you mean is, you can't get fit women, so why should anyone else. ;)
Not that hard, just don't use women's weights.
"To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!"
That is Good.
That is the best
70s. When you could smoke openly on national TV.
rofl
And interrupt women while they're trying to make a post and go to commercial break. Lol.
hmm why do you say that like it was a good thing?
And 80's, and 90's..........
this the 80's fucking idiot wow
I love arnold hes such a sophisticated person, and a very talented human being. Watching any of his interviews is always a treat
@@Steves_fish in like all aspects of his life lol The Goat of Bodybuilding, probably one of the most charismatic people in the last 100 years. Amazing action film hero. A great role model, and his ability to lift up other individuals and inspire them
I met Arnold right after this. He was doing a promotional tour for Conan The Barbarian movie. My mom was taking pictures with her Polaroid camera and I was hanging on his arm (I had a big crush on him). He looks at my mom and says, "Iz daht yuh mudder?" I mumbled "Uh-huh" and he said, "She tek peek-chur?" I mumbled "Uh-huh". He said "Okay", smiled and my mom snapped photo. He autographed it and I still have it today!!
...That must be worth a fortune.
Andy Lavandero I hope so. I certainly spent a fortune watching Conan 20+ times!
Uh-huh.
@High Plains Drifter She said after this and 1983 is after 1979.
😂
I just love how Johnny manages to slip one in at the very end. So classic Carson. It's s fascinating that after all these years the issue of women bulking up from weight training is still an issue for many and the other thing is I almost forgot that people used to smoke on TV.
Damn, look at the respect people had way back when. No cutting each other off, no talking over one another. RIP respect.
revolutionary. i love how he is so passionate about women working out. he was on top of the world and he used that platform to promote women fitness. i love it.
that 70s photoshop at 1:03 still gold then our era.haha
What makes Arnold truly special isn't his incredible physique, its his larger than life personality.
Two legends. Like them or not, these two had more impact on show business than most. Combined 100 years in the public eye.
I love how Johnny cut her off before she began to drone. It's like he knew it was coming.
that's why he is the host :)
haha Damn I didn't catch that...that Johnny was a clever one
MickyAvStickyHands drone???
mrStraker888 drone. he must be George bushes hilly billy nerdy scientist. sry..
MickyAvStickyHands i actually thought it was quite rude
“You look wonderful by the way” A real gentleman
Im actually impressed by Carsons general knowledge especially considering the time period
Arnold should have slapped the cigarette down and said, "STOP ZAT YOU STUPID BEEECH, BAAAAAAAAD!!!!"
SMOKESCAST
hahahahah))))))
Arnold smoked in the 70's too, it is in his weight training videos. Look it up on google.
70's not 80's*
Alex P. Put that cigarette down.... Now!!!
Arnold smokes to this day. Cigars but you can still get long cancer from them and a host of nastiness in the throat and mouth. But hey he enjoys it, and I'm less of an expert on cigars than cigarettes, but the vast majority of cigarette smokers will not get cancer. A lot of the ones that did smoked several packs a day and it was a little crazy between WW2 into the 80s or 90s. Prior to that people smoked but much more moderately and lung cancer was very rare. I mean don't take it up if you don't do it already, there are like 100 bad things it can do for you for every 2 good ones, but people do exaggerate on the effects.
Arnold's hair is fucking excellent.
I agree with Arnold, she was looking wonderful in 40..
Who was the woman?
Elizabeth Ashley. Big sex symbol in her day.
Elizabeth Ashley
Must have had very good genes with the smoking.
It’s a great early Arnold interview, funny that he was introduced as a best selling author at that time. Also, never realized Johnny’s backdrops were Bob Ross paintings! Nice upload here
"There are so many woman out there that's out of shape". Say that today and get woke cancelled. Love you Arnie!
And it's more true today than ever before in history
I think he’s part of the mob now, not sure though
@_jeff _ I’m talking about the liberal mob, he even said Trump was the worst president in history.
@_jeff _ not that I care though because most celebrities are nowadays. I just look back to the old days lol, really tired of this modern world.
What nonsense. Nobody would get "woke cancelled" for stating the obvious fact that a lot of women are out of shape. You live in a world of make believe. I bet you also believe that Trump won the last election. Ha ha
what he said so many years ago is relevant now due to the fact that women just want to be fit and look great.... who ever says this is sexist must be out of shape and stupid..... he is discussing dicipline.... he is promoting health and fitness.
and he is a LEGEND..
The man is a legend and a true go getter. He was running out of women that met his standards so what did he do?? He wrote a book and spent years teaching women how to get into the shape that he wanted them in! A true man of power and control.
Arnold is remarkably charming, poised, and thoughtful for a big hulking guy. Normally, musclebound flexposers are much more inclined to just grunting and grimacing in the direction of everyone they meet.
I think that's just an image thing.
This is why he was noticed. If you ever watch Pumping Iron (how he got famous) you'll notice how incredibly quick-witted and funny he is. He was also known to be extremely conscious of whenever a camera was on him, and knew when to turn on the personality.
Arnold talks so much better in this interview. almost like he is faking it nowadays.
he is
weight training changes the voice
Richard Kelch bullshit
Im guessing this was around the time they were making Conan and he was getting the best acting and elocution training money could buy. That, and rehearsed, lol.
@@richardkelch2469 no joke thats true
This is why i love the past, arnold wasn't being disrespectful at all he was just telling the truth. It's science and fact and he was being very nice about it. Women have to work 10 x harder at weight lifting and getting the rip body that men have. You be that honest today and there is a fucking protest lul.
His english was better back then than it is now
+Eliskoopa I was thinking the exact same thing!
+Eliskoopa lol. That's true. He did too many Arnold Schwarzenegger movies after this interview which made him dumber over the years. He should've done more movies that he didn't appear in.
+Eliskoopa English speakers in general spoke with more intellect than they do now. Just take a look at how much of a class act Carson and Charlie Rose was compared to that child Fallon.
+Lcarpetron ?
+ThatBro Kevin he probably shouldn't have made movies at all. Thats kinda what he said. :-D excellent
Elizabeth Ashley. The answer to nobody's question here, but a very good actress.
very good actress
LOL
Martin Macdonald I came all the way down to read your answer buddy Thank you for this 😂
Hot piece of tail. I was looking for her name in my memory- no luck. Thanks!
Is she still alive?
@@jackscott8199 yes, 80 years!!!
She does look fucking amazing for 40. I'd say she looks a lot better than most 40 year old women around my neck of the woods in 2015.
Lol she looks at least 55
@@LykeArgy youre wrong bozo
@@slaykay47 I'm right violator
@@LykeArgy ok kid, you're probably single, overweight and broke, your opinion means nothing lmao
For that time she might look 40 but for this time I would say 50s .and a 40 year old actress today looks 30
Big fan of Arnold, serious and polite around people trying to upset him constantly.
I'm a big fan too. He came to America over 50 years ago and he really made a name for himself and he's living the America dream. I continue to root for him.
I loved this and I have a new found respect for Arnold for making something specific for women. I never knew.
I like how he cut her off at the end
She was talking too much about random stuff. You cant ramble like that during a talk show frfr
Who is she?
***** Elizabeth Ashley. She did a lot of work on stage, a few movies in the late '70s, and then a sh*tload of "guest appearances" on '80s TV shows.
A total nobody.
She did?
I'm thinking she shouldn't be smoking if she gonna start down the healthy route.
..I'm glad he cut her lame ass off.
Anyone else came here just for the hair?
Arnie totally a class act and living legend :)
Telling women to lift!!!! Ahead of his time.
I think it's pretty cool how Carson kept the smoking lady from taking over the segment. She tried twice. Her turn was over but still she needed the spotlight. Carson handled it like a boss.
That was a very thoughtful and personable way to approach teaching people how to get in shape.
He has the hair as in Conan ?
Alexandros Makes sense... I'd imagine that filming for Conan was about to start.
+Alexandros He has the hair out of his penis and balls.
+yo mama wtf????????????
yo mama He's yo mama.
yo mama He made dinner. Come eat before it gets cold my brother.
The good ole' days. Life was easier, made more sense and less drama. Social media can disappear, I wouldn't miss it at all. Like the saying goes you don't know how good you have it to lose it. How did this get so bad.
I really agree the good old days were the best..
He’s great, always was wise beyond his years, and a fierce competitor
There would have been no way Johnny Carson could have predicted that this man Arnold will be the governor of California in the future. Truly amazing where people's paths take them in life.
Arnie looks so relaxed.. it’s like he’s at home just chillin 👍🏼👏🏼
0:52 Johnny Carson's laugh is so evil lol
Look at Arnold's posture and how confident he looked,,
Arnold is a freaking legend. it's my dream to meet him one day.
I used to watch Johnny Carson as a kid. No night show host can beat Johnny
Sad there are no more talk shows like this.
smoking on the show! nice!
i just noticed that... wow
Yeah, that's when America used to be a free country.
Yeah, this was before the health fascists and p.c. nannies took over.
Robert Forester-Lake I don't understand, do you mind explaining what you actually mean?
thisiselvis is this your opinion based on nothing or you actually did some research and scientific profe that america was free before and is not free now? in what way, for whom and how?
You can keep telling yourself that you don't "have time" to exercise, but *nobody* is that busy that they couldn't put 15 or 20 mins a day for a simple workout. The excuses only go so far and at some point you really have to ask yourself how much does your health mean to you.
Louis C Hard labor is a workout. Most people have sedentary jobs though, so being exhausted because you worked all day (construction, ranching, refinery, firefighter - jobs where people truly work hard) is just as lazy excuse.
wow, the people are being so pleasant and respectful in this talk show. It seems like talk shows these days are filled with obnoxious humor and snide remarks(like conspicuously hidden satirical put downs).
That bit at the end, where Elizabeth Ashley starts into what almost certainly was looking like an extended story, shows why Johnny Carson was the absolute KING of late night hosts. He knew he had to go to commercial, and somehow he had to stop her. He could have just said, "Stop!" but that would have been awkward. Somehow, on the spur of the moment, he comes up with a humorous quip that shuts her down in a natural way and allows them to go to commercial. Nobody realized what he was doing. That is sheer talent. Brilliant.
I like that he is equating out of shape with mental happiness. I think that's very smart. This whole interview was great!
Gotta give it to Arnold, he is quite the AMAZING PERSON. Credit where credit is due. Just read his whole life story. Very compelling! And inspiring! His motivation, tenacity, endurance and determination is superhuman. And his one liners are also the best, utterly memorable, and hilarious!! :) :)
As a multitasker i find it very difficult to be like Arnold, but very admirable and inspiring. A one-track mind can definitely meet the call of duty.
30 years later, and Arnold's English has not improved one bit. He's the real winner.
It's interesting to note that right at the beginning of the interview, the first thing Arnold talks about, is not giving people false hope by removing his shirt and showing his Mr. Olympia physique as he was promoting fitness for the average person. Whereas, nowadays, that's all you see. The "health" industry is flooded with these blessed people who through the magic of genetics have a flawless body with minimal effort. Then they try to foist their "miracle"system on you. They are shameless in their efforts to attain the almighty buck. It's really quite disgusting. After the average joe buys the miracle system and uses it as advertised, then ends up not much different than when he started, ends up feeling worse about himself. Which is the opposite of his intentions when he bought the damn thing.
👏 spot on.
I adore to lift weights. Doing it gives me a high that I don't get anywhere else. I 💜 it!
Arnold .... ''The Power horse '' & great inspiration for bodybuilders around the globe ...
Damn, he had style!
Stick around.
Lol :) #Predator
+Alex Funes THERE ISSS NO BATTTRRRROOOOOMMMM

I'm da pahty poopah
Who is your dahddy, and what does he do
Why is Arnold harder to understand now? He has less accent in this interview...
So true! That is so weird.
Same goes for Stallone he is getting harder to understand him sounds like a brontosaurus that's why they are working together more and more.
He does it on purpose. The thicker the accent, the more interesting he will be to the media.
H
It seems like Arnold's accent got thicker as time went on. He sounds almost like an average American white guy in this interview.
I actually heard somewhere that he works with a speech therapist even today to keep his accent. It's become such a part of his image that he just went with it.
Kevin M he did say almost lol
Kevin M No, not even close.
Power x douchebag
Average american white guy? If you class Tommy Wiseau as that, then yeah, Arnold sounds exactly like an average american white guy in this interview
I love Arnold Schwarzenegger he used to the governor of California and he went back to his movies I meet him to be honest I remember he play with kindergarten and terminater 2 judgement day and his movies are good I do respect Arnold Schwarzenegger alot .
Am I crazy, or is Arnold's English is better in this interview than it is now?
Clint Page ....it's better than yours....
even the vocabulary of plain tv shows back in those days was so much more elevated
He just cut her off lol.....smoking in the studio funny
Brilliant guy. Great personality and well spoken.
Watching this interview makes feel like I'm high, even though I'm not. Amazing!
Dude, his accent in this is pretty awesome.
That was the beta version of photoshop.
that made me laugh so hard
Yeah, it’s called scissors and glue stick.
😂😂😂
Hörður Heimisson r/woooosh
Arnold was running every day during this time and he was down to 199 pounds (his lowest body weight ever as an adult) from his former 250 pounds. Less than a year later he won the 1980 Mr. Olympia and weighed a legit 213 pounds (not the weight he was listed at). During the filming of Conan in 1980/1981 he weighed between 212 and 220 pounds and by the time of Conan The Destroyer and The Terminator in 1984 he was back up to 240 pounds. He gradually lost weight throughout the remainder of the 80's and by the 90's he was down to 210-215 pounds again. Interesting to note, he's also had a hair transplant in recent years and he's lost 3.5" in height since his prime due to knee and hip replacements, as well as having had fused discs in his spine and of course age.
Would you happened to know what year he may have had the hair transplant?
Arnold was very ahead of his time regarding women and lifting weights. women have so been lied to about fitness but here he is 30 years ahead of his time. We should have listened to his advice instead of those bad 80s/90s fitness hacks.
Promoting a book by not using his physique as an example...how refreshingly honest!
"by my book, Johnny Cazan, itz zo fantastic"
Arnold uses L'Oreal.
So funny!
So much Conan in this Video!
Because he's worth it.
@@linkbiff1054 lol
this was around 1980-82 when arnold did conan and he has long hair then
He was the One. Don't Even think of being like him. It Takes too much. But he really is a Hero to me because of his Personality!
His hair is amazing!
Arnold = awesome.
Carson = awesome. The way he cut that boring lady off was brilliant.
I love Arnold
i love you to !
Good stuff. Arnold is a champ!
Arnold loves you too.
She's Elizabeth Ashley, for all those who are wondering.
darthzach thankkkkkk you! I was looking through the comments just for that lol thanks man
Yep. Used to married to George Pepard.
While preparing for filming Conan the barbarian. 1977-1982. And born a masterpiece!!!
Arnold is literally the inventor of fitness
