- Karen Carpenter interview on Swap Shop with Noel Edmonds (24th October 1981)
This incredibly rare appearance is missing from the BBC archives and was believed lost. It was made available to me through a VHS recording from fellow Carpenters fan Jay Clements who recorded it at the time it was broadcast.
The last minute or so is missing where Karen asks viewers a question they had to answer to enter the competition. - Розваги
I don’t think Karen ever knew how talented a singer she was.
You get the strong impression that Karen Carpenter was the type of down-to-earth, sweet, warm, very kind person that you would love to have as a close friend!
Karen is so real. Sit down. Tired of sitting down so we stood up. I met Karen in person when I was a child and she was the same, patient, sweet person.
I never met her but I did get to go there concerts twice.. awesome 👍
@ianbattows6207, You are so blessed that you got to meet Karen Carpenter in person🙏🙏🤗🤗! Karen Carpenter died when I was a kid🖤🖤😢😢, but I so wish I could have met her because I not only love her singing💐 and drumming💐🥁, but there is just something about Karen Carpenter 🌹🌹💐💐that's sweet and caring🤗🤗💛💛💛💛💛!!!
I love that line and her humor! Karen still making me laugh!
Miss her so much!
i also met kc before i was the same age as her i met her in japan 1974 love her😍😍😘
I would have love to met her
I love the sound of Karen’s talking voice. She is very sweet.
Awesome to see her talk without being talked over or worrying what she says.
She has a cool voice even when she talks 🥰
shes great,i miss her
Awesome indeed. To see her being her own person here, without somebody jumping in to answer questions clearly directed at her is a rare treat indeed.
@GoTeam And mostly by her manager.
Even if she never sang, she would have had the best female voiceover voice in the broadcasting industry.
And, if she never spoke, she would have been the best female drummer in the world.
I think this talk show host was borderline rude to her.
Hard to believe she would be gone 2 years later. Her voice was smooth as butter!!
Karen's voice when she's talking sounds so perfect. love her deep voice at such a young age
Wow! This is amazing! Her sense of humor really comes through here. I especially love the part towards the end where she's explaining how Astro Wars works and she says "and it shoots and it kills things, it's terrific!" Hahah. Thank you SO much for sharing this, Billy!!
😂 haha, when she said “it shoots and it kills things!” It reminded me of her saying when she was little, she got a toy machine gun for Christmas cause that’s what she wanted, haha
That was Gold... it was worth the wait! It made me Happy, but yet so Sad! We are so fortunate we have UA-cam to see rare moments in time!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video with us.
Happy Sunday... thank you for sharing! 💖
The woman with the most beautiful smile in the world. Her smile shone like the sun... she is sorely missed...
Karen was a gamer. Who knew? Fun interview
Karen was way ahead of her time in all ways!
Karen was a huge nerd. Big Star Wars fan and also, apparently, a gamer lol.
She also loved to watch game shows on TV.
Oh my god! So greateful for the fan who recorded this back then, that's amazing that we are finally able to watch this interview. Thank you so much for posting, Billy. Karen is so much fun here, the Astro Wars part killed me lol, so funny how she told it to shush
Karen tells the machine shhh! Lol! Reminds me of myself! Wow do I miss her and her humor!
Great video!! Shows how down to earth she really was!! 💞💞
Love this! Karen playing Astro Wars! Thanks for sharing.
She looked so thin in this intervew, but her smile still shinning❤❤❤
She was ill with Anorexia Nervosa at the time.
Amazing 2 years after this she was dead even though she looks so frail she’s so beautiful when she smiles
Oh my gosh!! Billy, you are THE best!!! 🤩🤩What a joy to see Karen in such a happy mood😍 Gotta get me one of those Astro Wars games too! 🤠
Love The Carpenters and Karen had a beautiful voice !
Love The Carpenters 💕❤️
I love Karen, so beautiful. Her loveliness as a person shines through.
Love of my life 1970 to 74 she was so beautiful
Oh, wow, I've so wanted to see this for years! Thank you Billy for uploading it, you are a star!
Thanks for uploading this. I love watching Karen Carpenter. She had such a wonderful personality.
Looks like Karen was sort of into video games lol. Too bad she wasn't able to play Nintendo, Playstation, etc. I think she probably would've enjoyed them.
This put a smile on my face! Thank you for posting!! You really can tell Karen was very warm , just beautiful and I always thought she had the cutest sense of humor. Just too bad no one knew the hell she was going thru alone.
Thank goodness these recordings exist of all our favorite people. I love to see and listen to this beautiful soul.
Didn't know she was so into video games. She would have had a heyday with what came a few years later with Atari and Nintendo.
Omg she is so cute with her asteroids game😂..and the guy: "no thanks, I don't like killing things" 😂😂😂😂
Thank you, Billy, this is a real gift. I knew about getting out of gym class to go to marching bands but this is the first time I heard about getting out of geometry class to go to choir. I wish I had thought of that. Hated geometry!
Karen your music and you still live on today beautiful lady
By all accounts, she was a beautiful soul
Thanks for posting this. I've seen a shorter version of this appearance but this is the longer version. First thing I notice karen is wearing same outfit she wore for GMA interview sarlier in October 1981. Loved the phone call questions.
karen Carpenter is so so sweet and even her voice is so sweet. I can tell that she is a very down to earth person with a fantastic sense of humour. I never like this hairdo she has but in this video, the hairdo fits her fine n she does look beautiful here.
I don't like this hairdo because I associate it with the end
anorexia makes you lose hair , so don't comment on ha hair 🤦🏾♀️.
Wow! This is fascinating! How lucky were those people who got to talk to her on the phone?????
Ring ring banana phone. Ha. Thanks Billy. Astro Wars is too retro-cool. I'm glad to have seen this gem but I don't think I will watch it again. These later videos of KC are so sad. She was 31 here; looks like she's pushing 50. RIP Karen Carpenter
True on Karen's looks, but she was very energetic and happy here. I'm glad to see that she was in a good mood here.
Karen would've loved Wii Bowling. I had Space Invaders the hand held version and I got hooked on it.
What a true beautiful woman! Thank you, Karen!❤ Thank you for sharing, Billy! By the way, I love Astro Wars. I could only imagine the pilot's voice over the intercom: "Karen, are you playing Asto Wars, again? We wanted to make sure that it wasn't any equipment dysfunstions." Karen: "I beat you again, Rich! Oops! I'm sorry guys! Didn't mean for any false alarms. Keep on flying. We are okay!" One more thing, Karen had nothing to apologize about. So what if she loved playing this game. I would to...it looks like fun. This host is a prude😊
Wow! Talking to Karen on the phone! She was so funny and nice.Thanks so much for posting this awesome rare clip!
Wow, what an INCREDIBLE incredible find! Thank you so much for sharing--I especially loved the Astro Wars bit at the end!
the artists back in the days were gracious, modest and down-to-earth. Huge respect to Karen and Richard
Sooo good !! I want to hear the rest of the interview
Thanks for sharing this. I never saw that interview before. Karen was always charming and down to earth!
Thanks for sharing this video with all of us!
Soon after this, she went into therapy to try to help herself. But never mind, what I’m jealous of is these fans got to call and talk directly to KC. I only wish I could do that still!
I wish she had survived so we all could tell her how neat she is
This is amazing, Billy! Thank you for sharing.
Karen Carpenter, was für eine tolle Frau! Leider starb sie viel zu früh.. 😢...
Thanks for sharing Billy. Definitely a great find there.
👍 Excellent! Karen was so talented.
Karen’s idol was her brother 😊
You are So Lucky, If You have Chance to talk to The Great One - Karen Carpenter!
A Karen era muito protagonista! O desembaraço dela ao responder as perguntas faz a gente praticamente esquecer que o apresentador do programa existe. 😊
Hey she's playing Astro Wars! I was given that as a kid lol. I just remember the annoying start-up sound it makes :D
That was a time when the rainbow meant peace
She talks like a normal healthy woman. All I can see here is that she wanted to live. And she wanted to be independant.
Karen would've been a gamer.
She was already with what was available at the time 😊
Would have loved an hour interview with Karen only. I’d ask her who her favorite singers were.
Thanks for uploading, but the interview seems cutoff at the end. Do you have access to the rest? Bittersweet to see this knowing what was going on behind the scenes at the time, but it’s great to see Karen just talking to people on the phone in a casual conversation with ordinary people… easy to get along with. Miss her so much…
I'm afraid this is all I have of this interview.
The interview is much longer than the interview on UA-cam for years. Like the other fans mentioned she looks so relaxed and happy. Her description of Astro wars a real joy. Thank you Noel and all the other young callers for being sensible and kind, you all.made each other feel comfortable 🥰💖🌟
Thank you Billy! I like this video, I have never seen this before. But her outfit in this video reminds me of another interview that I’ve seen where Karen and Richard are together in a different interview, where the interviewer is questioning Karen’s anorexia.
That was on Nationwide. They recorded that interview two days before this one on Thurs 22nd October. She also wore this outfit for an interview on Good Morning America.
@@carpentersism Oh, that’s fascinating. Thank you for the information Billy!
A voz dela é linda até falando!!!! Caramba!!!!
Uma deusa, deixou saudades. 😢
Pura verdade ,voz encantadora.
🌟K 🌹 C🌟
Karen até falando tem a voz feminina mais linda que ja ouvi
She was so sweet. Nice to fans. So beautiful.
Karen to Richard was the same as Elvis to Tom Parker
I don’t see it that way as both were abused by promoters and worked to death. Both suffered the consequences of being overworked. Richard survived, Karen didn’t because her issues were more complex and more difficult to treat.
I think the entire world is grateful that she did not choose to become Karen Carpenter, geometry teacher. 🙂
She looks thin!!! Boney face,,and Richard was going thru his down time from rehabbing
So real, but she lied her ass off about her illness
That man on the documentary said that she was the most honest person he knew, except when it came to the anorexia
@@monilaninetynine3811 Yup. their lawyer Werner Wolfen said that.
I'm in love
Как сильно ее вымотала болезнь. Выглядит в интервью лет на 60.
How i wish i was born that time she interviewed,for me to talk to Karen only for just second...i have no question to her,i just want to say to her that in my age now,22...she still my lady and my crush,since when i was 10..i love her so much and not shy to admit that i'm gay just for her..
A great find. She was funny but i can also hear her anxiety here, the way she speaks so quickly.
And 4 mths before she died. What an insidious disease.
She died in February of 1983. She might have been hopped up on meds
What a gorgeous beautiful human being. I know they say only the good die young but this is ridiculous this beautiful woman died at 32, there is no God.
God gave her beauty. charm, talent, and luck, and made her rich and famous. She took all those gifts and destroyed herself.
@@TheLarryBrown no such thing as God,she done all those things herself, stop giving your imaginary sky daddy credit
@@Djr67 She really did , but you know , God gave her an amazing talent and he can use it for his benefit, I believe she is our Spirital Angel giving us such joy... Hang in there guys
@@gregwaldrip7910 is that the same god that gives kids cancer??? There is no God.
Was that Barney in the background?
She looks ill 😢
She was ill
She was sick. She has less than two leaves left.
If only Karen could have known how sick she looked and how she was killing herself. We've come so far in treatments, but Karen didn't actually participate in any real treatment. She wasn't honest in her therapy and continued using chemicals to lose weight. None of us knew then that ipecac could kill you.
My opinion is that because the only tangible control she had over her life (and perhaps others acceptance) was enmeshed with her ability to control her weight. I believe she knew it was extreme but knowledge isn't enough to simply flip the switch in one's body, mind and spirit to change. It must have been exhausting for her.
I enjoyed her exuberance over the game! I picked up on Karen's defending her enjoyment after the host appeared to reject instead of support her opinion. It would have been a joy to see her success in a solo career and to be free from the need and control of others expectations. I love her voice but at times I feel guilty for listening to it knowing she may have felt trapped and unhappy.

It was funny when she told the machine to hush. Karen was quite funny at times. Just so sad she couldn't get over the anorexia. Itbisca very complex, multifaceted.illness..
Before Rainbows were stolen.
Remember when the rainbow was really a symbol of happiness for everyone, and not a flag of minority based socio/political entitlement and elitism?
Another contrived United States right wing pretend problem that doesn't exist. The rest of the world doesn't care about trumpisism criminal enterprise and United States Reich wing hypocrisy
Perhaps you shouldn't watch if you find the rainbow flag colors so triggering.
@@bobfinholm2671It isn't the rainbow that triggers people, it is the plagiarization and malignment of God's rainbow by lgbtq+ who use it to represent their shameful lifestyles of sexual perversions, which are rebellious deviations from God's natural mandated order. God's rainbow should never have been allowed to be used in the "pride" flag, as it is tantamount to to the American Flag being used to represent communism, or using a swastika on a flag to represent freedom, and is no more acceptable to Christians than it would be by Muslims, if the "pride" flag were flown in downtown Saudi Arabia! The symbols are being used in polar opposition to their true meanings. The rainbow flag, as the "pride" flag, represents a movement of oppression, that threatens the rights of anyone who refuses to agree and comply with lgbtq+ ideologies, which are based upon subjective feelings, rather than objective truths. This also highlights the hypocrisy of its followers that claim to be inclusive of everyone, while they reject anyone who refuses to agree with, and pander to them! The rainbow needs to be rescinded as the representative symbol of human sexual depravity, and should be used as an unadulterated symbol of God's promise, for everyone, as it has always been. There are many options that can be used for a flag to symbolize sexual depravity, just as well, without misappropriating and maligning a holy symbol!
There is nothing wrong with the LGBTQ+ community. Let us exist!!

If Courteney Cox wasn't too old and didn't mess with her face, she could have played her in a movie.
