Omg when he cried at the end...heart melted...how sweet...RIP Gene
This world needs more people like Gene Wilder.
yes how right you are such a nice man
I am just now discovering Gene Wilder. I think everyone should too.
He is so brilliant in Willy Wonka..should have received an oscar for his performance
+Rod Labbe go away.
+David G please
Well said Chris,did you know he turned down a part in the Blues Brothers and it was something he regrets because he was a mate of John bulshi.
Definitely
What a gentle and kind man :) RIP
gene wilder is one of a kind, i love that man
Such a kind and honest guy ...
+CamsVideos Totally agree
Great interview. What a wonderful, thoughtful and kind man.
This was an excellent interview. Gene Wilder is a national treasure, and this interviewer did an absolutely awesome job. I only wish it were longer! I could have watched this thing all day!
I love gene wilder
I watched young frankenstien yesterday and gene tool my heart... and i am only 11
A class act and complete original. Thank you, Gene.
Such a wonderful man! Always loved him, always will. We sure need another Gene Wilder film at the movie theater. I can see why he's semi-retired from acting. The type of films he does are in very short supply nowadays. Not many actors like Gene Wilder around anymore. Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks are comedy genius!
Thanks for this interviews after reading 'It's Always Something' the comments that Mr. Wilder made about Ms. Radner- Wilder makes so much sense now. He was a good husband to her and obviously a loyal husband to his wife now.how refreshing in today's Hollywood.
Love this guy
oh how I loved him! R.I.P. Gene!
you are going to be missed Gene 😇❤💕💖❤💕❤💕💖❤💕💖❤💕💖❤💕💖❤💕💖❤
Some of my earliest and fondest memories are of Gene Wilder and his films. He will forever be a part of me and my family. There is just something so magnanimous and forgiving about him, and yet there is pain and sorrow behind his eyes. This man is a legend of film.
I really miss him along with Robin Williams. Those two can make you laugh, but also make you feel a warmth not given often by comedic actors! ❤
RIP....a truly amazing kind, gentle and funny man.
Genius never be able to have again. RIP
A gentle soul, a kind man and an icon of movies and stage. You are missed Gene Wilder.
My favorite scene is when he comes out of the subway bathroom with the boombox pretending to be a black guy in "Silver Streak" lmao. Also, the we don't take no shit scene in "Stir Crazy". Epic, just epic. RIP Gene.
Gene is one of my biggest influences to pursue comedy. He fits into a small handful of comedic actors that I would consider the worlds greatest (Pryor, Carlin, Cheech & Chong, Louis CK, Brand, Stanhope etc). It's all in his delivery and especially in his eyes. Watch his eyes in any of his movies when he delivers lines. It's almost as if he presents a look of innocence and sometimes amused ignorance as he delivers his lines. Brilliant!
Ah, to see a man who has truly lived life. Such pain, such experience. Living out his twilight years writing about his life, and the lives of his characters. Very in touch with himself. I feel he can impart a great deal of wisdom to us all.
He seems such a sweet and gentle soul.
Gene is a genius, love his movies!! Great man!!!
Thank You Mr. Wilder for having been a part of my life!
What a dear man Gene Wilder clearly is. That he has survived a lifetime in show business with so much warmth, honesty and sensitivity still intact is really remarkable. I always thought him funny, but from now on I'll think him that and so much more.
Rest in peace😢
Rest in peace
i wish gene could read these comments, nothing but love for this beautiful man. internet make this happen!
genious and true human being thank you gene wilder!
Awesome interview. I love Gene Wilder. I will definitely check out his fiction.
A genuine person.
This has to be one of the most pleasant interviews I've ever seen. Mr. Manouse makes James Lipton look like Maury.
Am I the only one who loves Gene's voice? It's so soft and soothing! I swear he could be reading the phone book and I'd be listenting intently, happy as a clam!
I love the movie silver streak, it's one of my favorites
He seems so down-to-earth. I'd just like to have lunch with him sometime.
Gene Wilder is the best!
Gonna miss you Gene!
A challenging interview done with grace. What a sensitive soul. Thank you Gene
Better with every year. Wonderful treasure of a man.
I dont no why im saying this on a random vid but my mumm just passed and im really really crying my eyes out becsuse we have been together for years and i just realy love her:( :( :( :( ; ( ; ( ; ( ; ( ;
What a class act. And I have to say, the interviewer is excellent: he asks good questions, and gets out of the way to let Gene answer. I can't remember the last time I heard an interviewee able to finish his answer completely without interruption.
I’ve seen so many interviewers do a great job interviewing him, I think it’s not about as much as what a great interviewer they are, but what a great interview they can conduct cause of the amount of real respect they have..which is very easy so easy to give this man. RESPECT
Oh gosh, the ending. I love him so much and the way he talks about Gilda and Karen is so touching.
I was on a RuPaul tangent and watched the interview between Ernie ManouseI and RuPaul and was blown away by Ernie. Documentaries and interviews are my main source of entertainment and have watched too many to count. Ernie Manouse hasn't just raised the bar, he's sent it to space. I have been saving this video due to Mr Wilder being such a legend in my eyes, this was such a touching interview and I'm so happy it was shared for all to see. Thanks
What a vastly sagacious & sincere man Gene is. There is quite literally no one else like him.
Very underrated comedian and a terrific actor.
I agree..would love to see Gene again in a full length motion picture. That "character" you described he did in a reoccurring role on "Will & Grace".
he brings back so many good memories as a kid, he had so many comedies
Mr.Wilder has his place in the pantheon of great entertainers. Every movie, from the little turn in "Bonnie and Clyde" through "The Producers" and "Young Frankenstein", "Blazing Saddles". He guarantees a fine and funny performance. As a man, he seems so kind and gentle.
Great Interview. We all miss you down here Gene.
Maestro of Maestros! !!!
GREAT MAN
I am mesmerized with his honesty and humility.
A wonderful human bean I always have loved his acting especially with Richard Pryor i loved Willy Wonka and the women in red with Kelly le Broc. God bless him and RIP the great Gene Wilder very humble man. I miss him heaps.
Kiss Me Like a Stranger turned me into a Library. I loaned it to a friend who loaned it to a friend, who loaned it to a friend, etc etc. I think my copy was read about 50 times, and only 3 by me. That book changed my life.
What a brilliant interview! Everything I've seen Gene Wilder in I liked and that's not to say I have seen all his work. To me he comes across as a kind and gentle soul, a man who if you were able to call him friend, you were lucky to do so. I've often said that American comedy is mostly rubbish & sometimes that's so but never, when it comes to Gene Wilder. I think we all owe him a huge debt, for all the happiness and laughter he has given us.
such a sweet sweet man, and i love him!
I want to see an interview with him and eric idle before its too late.
You are simply the best, Gene :) The last 10 seconds of the interview made me cry too! God bless you, Man!
I think I've seen Stir Crazy about a 100 times.
Me too !
The day this man passes on, it will be an extremely sad day, especially for anyone that truly enjoyed his work in theater, movies, or his books. truly a magical genuine special man. i have ALWAYS been a fan of Gene, and Mel Brooks of course, they were a great duo.
I was born in the 60's and Gene was a BIG part of my life for I love movies and he is in 3 of my top 10 of all time (YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN-WILLY WONKA-SILVER STREAK) a part of me will die when he dies :(
He made me cry at the end!
Story of how Gene Wilder inspired me:
Besides Robin Williams...
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is one of me favourite Movies from me #4 favourite Actor of ALL-TIME... Gene Wilder :D :D :D I really lovey love love love this Movie SOOO much because I feel like I'm in a different World (In the Movie) and I am literally with Willy Wonka traveling with him in his wonderful Chocolate-Factory and I am the last Child to take over his Chocolate-Factory. Furthermore, there is ALOT of parts in the Movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" that always makes me cry (teary-eyed) because it just brings back memories whenever I watch the Movie several times and the parts itself are simply so super duper wuper beautiful, amazing, fun, fantastic, and other positive words! :') :') :') :') :') :') So today I am going to remember Gene Wilder... So am going to watch watched the "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" for the MILLIONTH time on VUDU because today, August 29th, 2016- Monday, marks the day he died today :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Then after watching the Movie today, I am going to play the Song "Scrumdiddlyumptious" (Which is me #1 favourite Song from
Nick) by the most awesomest and coolest Bloke ever... Nick (Pogo) because this Song will FOREVER and EVER remind me of me #4 favourite Actor, Gene Wilder :D :D :D :D :D :D Gene Wilder was the one who made me laugh in "The Frisco Kid" Movie. Gene Wilder was the one who made me not give up. Gene Wilder was the one who made me confident and be meself. Gene Wilder was the one who inspired me to become a famous Actress and Movie-Director one day, besides Robin Williams. I just wish he was still alive so I can thank him (In Real-Life, personally) for EVERYTHING that he has done to me and to cast him in me 2028 Movie. Plus on August 27th, 2016- Saturday, what a coincidence, I watched the "Scrumdiddlyumptious" Song-Video and on August 29th, 2016- Monday, he died... Then on May 13th, 2016- Friday, I watched the "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" Movie and after watching the Movie... I REALLY WANTED TO CAST HIM IN ONE OF ME FUTURE Movies!!! Now I cannot. I have Autism/Aspergers, which makes it hard for me, and me expressing who I am, how I feel, doing things, and etc... I just watch anything with Gene Wilder to help me, besides Robin Williams. I have been struggling with this Mental Illness since I was 3 Year's Old. The Peep's who has been supporting/fighting for me and giving advice to me all of me 13 Year's, was me Mum, Da, other Family-Members, and Non-Physical Gene Wilder and Robin Williams. Throughout me Life, I gotten bullied, excluded, ignored, made fun of, etc. because of me Mental Illness which Peep's told me that I was stupid, weird, ugly, and other Negative Words (Plus I wasn't Creative or Intelligent that I will be unsuccessful and I was never going to be a Actress/Movie-Director). But when I first watched the Movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" for the very 1st time at age 13 Year's Old (Currently 16 Year's Old)... With Gene Wilder it made me better. It made me feel special. It literally changed me Life. The Movie itself and Gene Wilder, it influenced me to be meself by not being shy anymore but being more confident by Communicating alot, standing up for meself to Bullies, make new Mates, making more Short-Films, confident in Acting, being helpful, showing who I am (Of how I am Creative and Intelligent), expressing feelings, and other positive things. So I want to thank you, Gene Wilder for inspiring me with yourself and Movies, and what you used to do. I cannot describe the words that I am feeling right now because of Gene Wilder helping me in the non-physical World. He truly inspired me. This Quote "Time is a precious thing. Never waste it." by Gene Wilder that was the part that triggered me and it changed me Life. I am still crying over Gene Wilder's Death. I was reading the Book "If I Stay" by Gayle Forman when he died today August 29th, 2016- Monday. Gene Wilder died today on a Monday like Robin Williams did 2-Year's Ago on August 11th, 2014- Monday while I was watching an Episode of Doctor Who :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Alzheimer's Disease is a killer to the Old-Peep's which I really wish the Doctor's can find a cure! But the only thing I can do to remember him by watching Videos, Movies, etc. and every August 29th... I am going to watch the Movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate" until I die and show me future Children aswell of how Gene Wilder was the Man who inspired me, besides Robin Williams. Gene Wilder is still the Candy and Chocolate Maker even if he is in Heaven.
R.I.P. Gene Wilder

What a wonderful speaking voice.
I really miss Gene Wilder movies, what a funny, charming man. I love how he still has the big blue eyes and crazy blonde hair.
Beautiful man in every sense of the word! He has brilliant comedic timing, & Young Frankenstein is one of the best movies ever!
He's 78 and will be turning 79 on June 11th.
"Time is a precious thing, never waste it"
I miss you Gene
I was a huge fan
PS: (RIP) TO THE FORMER WILLY WONKA, THE LATE GENE WILDER, A TRULY WONDERFUL COMEDIC ACTOR WHO WILL BE SORELY MISSED, BUT HIS PAST ACTING WORK IS PRESERVED FOREVER ON DVD/BLU-RAY. PLEASE (RIP) DEAR SIR, YOUR COMEDY WILL ALWAYS BE TIMELESS.
I like Gene's voice, it's soothing.
Gene wilder is one of the best actors of all time
Love watching ALL his films...and a great Autobiography..
One of the most beatiful men in the world, inside and out. Such a kind heart. God I would do anything to marry a man like him. I'm way too young of course, and he's married. But if I were older, well, that's a different story. I love him so much! I listen to Pure Imagination nonstop. He is a genius, too. No one can beat his ideas. Love always
He will always be Willy Wonka to me. Nobody could play Wonka like Gene Wilder did. He will be terribly missed my the acting and movie business. He was one heck of a talented movie actor and Willy Wonka will always be what I will always remember him by.
He needs to keep making movies, he has so much talent left. We need to learn more about ourselves, he teaches us how to be human/tolerant
It's amazing how his voice sounds exactly the same.
I was going to comment on this but you summed it up so perfectly I didn't have to. What a beautiful man and an inspiration he is.
What a lovely man....
It is so fascinating- usually when people get older, both their looks and the sound of their voice drastically change, to the point where they are completely unrecognizable. Gene, however? Such a fate has alluded him. He hardly looks any different from his Willy Wonka days. Same charm. Same wit. Same undeniable wisdom and intelligence. It all has carried over effortlessly-along with his good heart. I can only hope that I will come to age as well as he has.
This was great. Thank you for uploading this interview.
Gene is a great talent. Watching him on screen brings joy.
The only time he didn't bring happiness was when he stopped acting.
Oooh what a wonderful man i can spend hour just listening to him wish he was still around X:
I listen to this cuz his voice is soothing
this man is truly a generous and amazing human being...
Fantastic interview and interviewer... Sublime interviewee.
This guy is amazing!
a wonderful legend , a pleasure to watch him interviewed.
Gene is very special to me. Love this man!
Good stuff . This is the kind of thing I like to watch . Genuine.
Yeah, he is getting up there. He turns 79 next month (his birthday is June 11th)! :)
Wow Ernie - you're a hidden gem man! I just stumbled on a video of Valerie Harper a couple of hours ago and have been watching a few other interviews of yours, and I can't believe I hadn't heard of you before! Glad I found you and this show! Hopefully we can look forward to many more! Thanks, and Peace!
One of the most pleasant 15 mins i have spent in a long long while, you come away feeling better about life for some reason, at least i did anyway.........
Thank you Willy WOnka!!!! We Love you!!!!!
Ernie, you are an amazing interviewer!
he says hes the happiest man now, but he seems so melancholy.
God bless him for being such a great entertainer but more so for beinga greater person
Gene and Mel made a hell of a combination in movie lore. For some reason I can see them passing on to the great movie screen in the sky on the same day.
