Give this man an honorary Oscar. He's earned it for bringing joy and happiness to all.
yes he is special
Agreed!
Amen to that!
@@cosmicstargazer10 I concur bringing so much joy and grace to so many people.
@@frederikdemoor2018 You're so right, joy & grace is spot-on :0) if he was one of ours he would have been Knighted decades ago, for services to entertainment & charity. I have always loved him & I always will! I hope he knows just how revered & loved he is.
This guy's is such an icon, 97 years now old and still moving like he's 50
I know right !!! At 97 he can dance like he is 50 years old
@@fionatsangarides6201he’s aged like a fine wine for sure
This man is an American Icon. He's seen the highs and lows of life and the man at 95 is the most positive person ever. I met him once in the 70s and I can tell you the man is genuinely a very nice man. So much respect.
Yeah... I felt that too..... A nice bloke...a genuine guy...
Positive energy.
I'm British and I still see him as a idol
He's a world icon
That’s lovely that you met him :) you can tell how nice he is!
He and Betty White are absolute treasures.
👍
Agreed
they should get married
@@catherinesvbialosh7260 he’s married to a 40 year old!
Throw in Carol Burnett and Julie Andrews too.
It's nice when your heroes turn out to be heroes. Hi to you, sir!!
Class, humility, and humor.....sigh
He's aged very well
Funny how people say that about an actor... they never met. Lots of people seem good on the surface but we really don't know.
@@brightmacsworld8353 qqqquou

@@catsincredulous9998Read up on celebs who knew DVD and try your best to find someone who says a bad word about him. I get what you're saying, but if everybody you read about has the same nice things to say about him... it counts for something.
He clearly enjoys life more than 95% of people. Can't help but smile listening to him.
My wife and I had dinner one evening at a restaurant in Westlake Village, California, and he and his friends were at the next table. He was having a wonderful time, and was happy to have us have a wonderful time as well. Delightful guy!
95%? Yikes I'm in a very small percentage of happy folks. So are most of my friends...and co-workers. I may actually know all 95%!
He's aged very well
@@Jonaontheradio Can I work where you do, sir
There’s only one him just like there’s only one everybody else. We’d be happy too if we were a white male almost 100 who’s job was in television and cinema. That wasn’t hard for him.
The man is 96 now and still has more charm, energy and passion for life than most people you'll ever meet. He is a model of the attitude one should have in their daily life and proof that doing what you love is what's most important.
❤❤
I have never heard a bad word about this man. Everyone I know who has met him says he just the loveliest person.
Truly a Beautiful Man!
A man of integrity and morals.
Let me settle this once and for all: As someone born and raised in England - he is one of our national treasures as well. We ADORE him! 💖
@Cheyenne Brennan Thank you 🥹! We love him too! He is such a treasure 💕💝
And Julie Andrews🤩💖
You're no' wrong lass, you speak nowt but truth!
Can't believe you folks forgive him for his bad East-ender accent in Poppins! :^D lol
@@pbasswil To my mind, there's nothing to forgive. 😂😂
Lucid and mind sharp as a tack. This is what 95 is suppose to look like!
Agreed. Even Stan Lee had all of that at his age
Amen:) yes:)
"Reality Check"
95% of all people 95 are not like that!
Duh.
He's Top 2-5% easy.
@@saint6563
"Reality Check"
No sh!t Sherlock!
Obviously this post went way over your head.🙄💯
Exactly! Probably good genes, eating right, and daily exercise (as he said) and keeping himself active in the things he loves like singing and acting are what's keeping him so spry. A good example for us all to keep in mind.
Ive watched him my whole life. He is like that uncle everyone loves. He is an american gem.
True and we need him and the others of his generation. Every time one passes I feel grieved. They are the Great Generation.
Hi Lori, You're beautiful 🤗💖
Well said
@Richard Walters not really honey. I think im ugly
@@lorikennedy1127 Lori you're absolutely beautiful sweetheart 💖💋
I have never seen this guy not laughing and smiling, been watching him for 40 years and thats just half of his career....this guy is genuinely one of the most uplifting actors... nay human beings... i have ever seen.
You can still see the fire in his eyes and his spirit. God bless this man, may we all be as lucky as him to age so gracefully 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I absolutely love this man. I’ve watched him all my life. If I can’t sleep, I tune him in and feel instantly comfortable and anxiety free. Diagnosis Murder, to back in the day. He is pure pleasure for me and I thank him❤️
Oscars should definitely give them man his own statuette. He deserves it.
Yes, he absolutely does deserve one 👏🏾
Julie Andrews won the Oscar for Mary Poppins in 1964. I always thought he should have won it that year and she should have won the Oscar the following year for The Sound of Music!
He definitely deserves an Academy Honorary Award. The last time they gave one was in 2019. Hope they do it soon before he leaves us.
He doesn´t need awards. I hate awards. They very seldom are fair.
@@marisadam12 he doesn’t need them but a Lifetime Achievement Award would be a wonderful acknowledgment of how much he has entertained us and how much we appreciate him.
I really wanna know how he stays this sharp at this age!!! Unbelievable man. Just unbelievable. Never seen someone at this age with such energy
Read his book, "Keep Moving". . . . . which he does. . .
He got his exercise staying aloft on the ceiling in Mary Poppins.
I think passion for life is such an outstandingly underrated factor of longevity
Also he stays sober…
He looks great for his age healthy and still dancing
i agree with you him looks good for 95
phenomenal
Amazing!!!!! 🥰👍
I’m
especially since he was a smoker for decades!
95 and still sharp as a tack. I've seen people half his age that look older than him. He's such a great man and I'm so glad he's taken care of himself
I don’t know why this interview makes me so happy... to see someone from an era that we miss so much still going strong... lately it feels like the past is dead but thanks to him and Betty white I have faith
I hope the past never ever dies in todays social media Era.
I honor this generation of entertainment artists. I checked up on Angela Lansbury who is also in her 90's. These are the "pros" who made it by genuine ability, talent, and personality.
I totally get that. I feel the same.
Mel Brooks is still alive. He was a writer for the DVD show.
Hard to tell thru tv what's really happening. Truth is there was bad crime too its just there's more people now and EVERYTHING is right in our faces which is not good actually. A guy gets murdered by a cop and now all white cops are stereotyped to the point where people want officers to take the first hit ,shot ect. But there were a lot more back then ,you just didn't see it in your face .
Even at 95, this man can probably dance circles around most people without breaking a sweat. He’s seriously cool!
I think his secret to longevity is a positive outlook on life and fun.
And dancing!
He gives and receives laughter in the right dosage and at the right time-
Genetics.
And no smoking or drinking for 60 years
And he is a clean actor. No filth or trash in his career.
This man is proof that a sense of humor is a huge part of longevity. Every mentally-sharp elderly person I've ever met had a good sense of humor.
Never condescending to others and never looks down on anyone. I truly believe the secret to aging is remaining happy and having a good sense of humor about yourself.
I’d better make sure my affairs are in order …
He did speck negatively working with Faye Dunaway.
@@jess4metoo Interesting. I'm guessing she must have been a real horror indeed if she pushed his cheerful self into bad mouthing her.
@@yowzephyr I saw it on here (UA-cam). Can’t locate it now, possibly removed. “She was difficult to others, but not to me”, something to that effect.
Absolutely!
This guy is just awesome man!
I cannot keep from smiling when he smiles. What a human!
One of the most talented triple threat actors in the history of Hollywood - and it's so great to see this man, still at the age of 95, lively, smiling, laughing, making jokes at his own expense and just chilling kicking butt at interviews still. He is such an example of a positive figure in Hollywood to both kids and adults.
If he’s this sharp at 95, God willing, he has another 20 years to go. I’ve never seen a 95 year old sound and look this sharp. Funny thing is that he has the beard, and he STILL looks good/young. Imagine without it.
This man will live past 100, he ain't done yet! 😉
My mom-in-las is 2 years younger and plays tennis a few times a week and runs rings around the family!!
Another 10 years for sure. But if miracles exist...he'll get another 20.
William shatner is 90 and is just as sharp and energetic
I hope they’re both still around in 10 years
@@bigtommy9715 indeed. The guy barely has a line on his face! And he's as busy as ever.
A smile on my face all the way through this interview. Such an amazing man!
Legendary and iconic man! He's one of my favorite actors, singers, and dancers.
What a delightful man. If anyone deserves this honor, and just the honor of living such a long, incredible life, it’s him. 🥰
95?! Wow he's sharp as a tack....i swear he's looked the same since I first started watching him during the 90's..😮😮😮
I urge anyone who hasn't seen him on Columbo to give that episode a look. He was great on that one. If you only thought of him as a goofy, pleasant fellow, it's a shock. The incomparable Vito Scotti was there in a short role, but it's Vito, who always accomplished so much in so little time.
My thoughts exactly!! And, Al did a great job interviewing this legend! So fun to see him at 95 doing so well and being do happy and sharp!

Love this man. He was there for my childhood and now in my 50's I am even more than happy he is still alive and sharp and inspiring.
The man makes you feel good, just listening to him. Still has the infectious smile. Amazing for 95!
What an utter legend. So wonderful to see this.
Love him still...pray he reaches 100❤

@@JohnSulu14 Don't forget Betty White.
@@retro9263 Only 7 more months until Betty White turns 100.
He is remarkable. 95 years and still going strong.
He looks like a 45 year old man with a a beard and make up to look like an old man, but you can see the younger man underneath.
The interview he does with Julie Andrews and they talk about Mary Poppins is just priceless anyone who reads this and watches it it is a very good thing to go and watch and listen to the two of them talk Mary Poppins is very special to them.
I was thinking that too.
I don't know what 45 year olds you're seeing lol. He looks about 85 ish.
I was actually thinking how rough he looked, but man is his mind sharp. On the money!! Love him!!
You must not see to many 45 yearolds
Oh to be 95 and so wise, happy, intelligent, articulate and talented. What a legend.
I've loved him since I was a kid. So glad he's still kicking and so vibrant!
This man is an absolute inspiration. He refuses to think old!
one of my favorite people ever. I hope I’m like him at 95
Adore this man so much!
Wow, can't believe he's 95! His mind and body are still intact! An American Treasure!
Gotta say. AL ROKER rocked that interview. Very impressive.
You could say he 'roked' the interview.
My idol, what a wonderful human being.
A man who can put a smile on anyone's face..and that says a lot about the man he is. An icon to say the least.
He is amazing actor, human being and looks great!
This guy is great; you can still see his unique style springing forth at his command
Charming man who's still sharp. Some people just naturally shine, and their glow is infectious.
Such a positive, energetic, and entertaining personality he has. And Mary Tyler Moore was one of the most attractive women ever. What great people!
Unbelievable, how good he looks!
95 years, folks!
He looks max 70 years old... what happened to the last 25 years?!
We can learn so much from people like him!
Happy inside out! That makes my day ✌🏼
Yesss 2:43 he said that he had so much fun & "what a happy life"
He does not look 70. He looks his age.
@@AnnaMaria-oy1fp I don't think he looks his age, but he certainly doesn't look as young as 70... He definitely looks older than 70 but no way does hd look 95

@@565ChAr He definitely looks over 80.
I can hear Mary Tyler Moore say, "OH ROB" right now LOL!!!
😍🙂
This MAN is a true treasure grew up loving him in every movie and show he did 😁😁
It is amazing this man is here for a reason. He has even admitted that he was an alcoholic and his life has not been easy for him. Being he was an alcoholic. And for him to be still living at 95 it is incredible. Mind still great! A sense of humor and laughter in your life is I believe what really keeps you alive and love just love of life. This interview make me smile 😁
Fortunately he was able to get his life back on track and give us some wonderful memories and an example of how to live one's life fully.
God Bless him
Say his name and I smile. So sorry your friends won’t this see award, However your fans are delighted you are being honored! Thank you for all the laughs you have provided. You & Betty White need to do a sitcom.
So So talented. His dance numbers were amazing and his performances always top notch. A true treasure for young and old! Definitely in Walt's class.
I was thinking about him recently! Seems like he's doing well!
We love this-- he's such a trooper.
OMG, I'm in AWE!!! Thank you.....Now I feel young and hopeful at 75!!
75 is the new 55!
I truly love these two gentlemen… You bring everyone joy and kindness, and that is what it is all about.❤❤❤
What an amazing man, what an amazing life.
I shook his hand right after he christened his new sailboat in the yard at Kettenburg Marine in San Diego. He used 7up instead of champagne. What a fantastic guy.
A recovering alcoholic. Glad he stopped and got to live a long healthy sober life.
@@gammondog when did he get sober just curious?
@@Rick-the-Swift Many years ago. He did his excessive drinking in private. Nobody knew he had the problem. Look for his interviews and you may find some in which he discusses that part of his life.
This man entertained me through a good share of my life. I have the most respect for him.
He is so versatile. He sings, dances, acts...everything. He is a treasure.

It's crazy how unstoppable that guy is.
Wow , like a teenager stuck in an aging body, love this guy.
All old people have a teenager inside...
God bless this wonderful man... A living legend and an all time entertainer... An inspirational gentleman in all facets of life.
Is there a better way to end a conversation with a laughter?
What a wonderful interview!
Wow! There's not much else you can say about him. His spirit, his attitude...every word he says shines with his comedic personality through and through! I hope he and Betty White are still around at least to 100! Great interview!
Didn't recognize him but he looks good at 95 years young.
Blessings.
95? Wow, he looks like he's in his 60s. He must have taken well good care of himself
Lol
why didn't you recognize him, he looks the same?????????
Maybe its the beard. The voice is the same.
Seriously? He hasn't changed to speak of.
Wow...such a beautiful, decent man. I could listen to a conversation like this all day. It was just soothing. I'm 53 y/o, and I'm about to go break out the Mary Poppins dvd.
This interview was so good, I stayed for the entire video. It flowed. It was like sitting around and listening to two older heads shoot the breeze, share stories and just be themselves. Al Roker did a great job. His questions were on point. They flowed and came from a place of genuine knowledge and admiration. Well done Al.
man... this man has been on screen my entire life. from marry poppins when i was a little kid, to early teens watching reruns of his early shows and mystery diagnosis... he is still sharp mentally, still roughly the same body size, still physically active... to live this long and still have quality of life is amazing. many people run into such serious problems as early as 65 that debilitate their lives and yet a rare few are blessed to be able to 'live' as they age.
They don't make actors like him anymore. A true classic!
Deserves a noble peace prize for his performance in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang alone. Brought me so happiness as a kid.
He is still with it. Stay young at heart ❤️
I still watch he’s tv show
We love you
An ICON. A Genius. A good man. He deserves an Oscar.
You are an awesome person 💚🙏 You make me laugh,you make me laugh ..you make me cry.... The times Mr. VanDyke, you make me laugh heals my heart and soul💚💚💚 God Bless you😇
Thank you for beautiful memories as a child 💕 🙏
A very good natured man with a cheery disposition and a positive attitude. It's good to see a man at his age still so happy and alive, full of energy and so clear in thought. Great interview :))
I have loved him since childhood! I recall all the joy and laughter he's brought to my life. He put an eternal smile on my heart many years ago! ❤
The thing I love about DvD is his resting face is smiling, about to smile or just finished smiling. A real inspiration.
He’s the man!!!! The ending. All his friends are dead. Everyone he knew won’t see this accomplishment. But he is still happy and humbled and honored.

@@bonzimmer oh yes. This is true.
I'm sure there are few left. Shirley McLaine has the same problem going through her phone book.
@@AnnaMaria-oy1fp Yes, and it's so very sad...we, of a certain age, have lost so much of our past in the last decade. From entertainment, to politics, to sports, and even our own friends, former classmates and family members; our past, our youth, seems to be disappearing faster than we had hoped. Makes us more keenly aware of our own mortality.

THIS is the reality of life. Which makes it just as important to make friends every step of the way in one's life. Keeps all joyous and young at heart. Keys to aiding longer, healthier life.
I have met him twice and he was just the nicest guy. I am also an animatorr. And he and I talked about Lightwave 3D. He is actually a very talented animator.
NO WAY!
Are there any animations from him publicly avaliable?
lightwave? geesh maybe 20yrs ago they were saying it had the best renderer, and it had a seperate app for modelling right?
@@jso19801980 dude did I say when I met him. No I didn't the first time I met him was in 1999 and the second time was in 2002. And lightwave is not the best 3D software in today's market personally I use Houdini, Blender, Lightwave, Zbrush, 3DCoat, Unreal Engine as well as many other ensilary tools like Meshroom and Substance paint and Designer. But I do still use Lightwave for many things. It has a good work flow. And I have had this in My tool box sense 1993. But Softimage was my main tool undel Autodesk killed it.then I moved over to Houdini fully. I have been using Houdini sense version 8 and wow has that tool improved. But you don't need to hate me Lightwave it still has some strengths. For example when you are in perspective viewing mode you can generate a light at that point. I wish Blender or Houdini had that. And there are many other things that are Cool like in the numeric input you can put in whatever number you want and it will try to make it work.

why would i hate cause someone is using a certain app? i think im trying to say alot of time has passed quickly since those good old times
@@jso19801980 you can say that again. But it has been a tremendous joy watching the progress of the tools in our industry

Amazingly talented...much respect to this gentleman and his generation. I still watch his work to this day :)
Loved him in Diagnoses Murder with his son. Still sharp as a tack for 95.
Just hearing his voice brings back memories. Classy people not the trash we have today.
Amen
Couldn't of said any better
Exactly!
He's part of today and proud to have inspired the younger generation of comedians, you know.

You've been my father in the 80's, that was in Damascus, Syria, and today, you turned out to be my best companion when I want to get some easy time, much love to you Sir
What a legend! Still going strong at 95 years old! My favorite moment is from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Music Box Dance Scene. Just amazing!
I'm so happy to see he's still alive and especially in this good shape. He looks about 20 years younger than he actually is! Amazing! Ad multos annos!

He's not reading this.
@@neccowafer1299 How do you know?
This is my favorite actor ever. I have been blessed to see everything he's done. For anyone who didn't know he had a brother who was just as talented. Thank you for entertaining me for decades.
I really like DVD and Al Roker. What a pleasant conversation... 2 beautiful, kind, fun people. A joy to watch. Thank you
Oh how I love him. At 95 , he's still as sweet as ever. God bless him 🙏
I'm 60 and have grown up watching you and share a birthdate with you! An amazing actor/comedian/dancer and human being.
He knew Stan Laurel and Buster Keaton!
So amazing, isn’t it..
On a lark, he looked up Stan Laurel in the phone book and called him. Stan invited him to stop by that day.
@UA-cam PREMIUM That’s your opinion.
@THE OPINIONATED AUSTRALIAN the only thing worse than floating a biased opinion as an accepted fact is condescending sarcasm towards those who disagree.
I believe there is a film of him attending Laurel's burial. He drove a nice car.
One of my favorite holiday movie growing up were
" Chitty Chitty Bang Bang "
Mine too! I still watch it with my daughter.
Never cared for Mary Poppins but Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was awesome!
Then there was that X-rated version.....
The Child Catcher, in that movie,was terrifying!
Me too!
95 and looks healthy and happy. I only hope to be so blessed in this life. He is one of the greatest actors of all time.
he looks so young to be in his nineties... wow im like praying he lives till his 100's
