@@mavis8933 Comes from the expression, "tall, dark and handsome" describes Christopher Reeve EXACTLY! Really, looks and health are not indicative of a person's personality! How others are treated by the person are far more important! Evidently Christopher Reeve was not only tall, dark and handsome but also a good person! In contrast with many celebrities who while very good looking are absolutely awful people! Hope that explains it!
His first movie after "Superman" was "Deathtrap", with Michael Caine, where he turned out to be the married Caine's secret gay lover. There was a very audible groan in the theater when Chris and Michael passionately kissed. The audience just wasn't ready for it at all (not Superman!)...
Christopher Reeves, such a classy and humble and good looking guy. So sad what happened to him after his accident. Still was very classy and humble after that too. I agree he was the best Superman!!
What happened? Look how classy, intelligent, and respectful they all are too each other compared to what people are today? Life without social media and iPhones.

@JosephMetts Unitarians believe in Jesus. They don't believe that Jesus is God but they do believe that Jesus is the son of God and that salvation comes from Jesus. Their beliefs are Similar to Jehovah witnesses. But also during the past 10 years I've had dreams continously about Christopher Reeve being saved. So I have to believe in these dreams. Are you catholic or evangelical?
@Libanesa-km7ir I'm evangelical. But I believe that it doesn't matter what domination you identify with. We can all be saved and have eternal life. But we must born again by the spirit of God by believing that God sent his only son to be our sacrifice for our sins and by faith a gift from God and we do not enter eternal life thru keeping the law or any good works we perform. Now in saying that I do believe the scriptures state that Jesus is God in the flesh but I don't think that belief is a requirement to be saved. I'm a big fan of reeve and he was a really nice guy but being nice has nothing to do with eternal life. But I hope he was a believer in Christ and we will find out one day. God bless
@JosephMetts Do you believe that God sends us messages through dreams and visions? Do you believe that if someone dreams about the same issue for 10 years it's because it's true? The bible does say in John 16:13 That God will send the spirit of truth and will reveal what is to come. Something that's not true can't last 10 years. Maybe you might be familiar with this issue since you're evangelical
@Libanesa-km7ir sorry but I disagree with you about this issue. I don't believe God tells us thru dreams whether certain people are in heaven ur not. I believe our focus should be telling the gospel to people who are alive so they don't end up in hell. If Christopher isn't in heaven today, it's his own fault. He had plenty of time on earth to trust in God's sin for his salvation
I get misty eyed when watching this, not only because in my opinion Mr Reeves was the best Superman but because he was a decent, gentle human being with so much integrity and dedication. And of course Johnny was the very best host, oh, how I miss those days. 🇺🇸
Christopher reeve was such a gemtleman and refused to see the bad in anyone no matter who you were and where came from, he was literally the embodiment and born to play superman. Yes there are and will be actors who will wear that iconic hope shield on their chest though will never ever come close to surpassing what he brought to the screen. A super genius

Is it possible to post the whole show? Love Steve Lawrence. Wish more would of Steve and Eydie would be possible. Johnny loved Steve and Eydie. We lost Steve and one was posted. Just love it. Christopher Reeves' son Will Reeve is a reporter on ABC looks just like him.
Just like Johnny was THE late night host of the day, Reeve was THE Superman of the day. Each had only a couple noteworthy predecessors in their roles. Now, how many people have hosted late night shows, how many people have played Superman? There's addition but there's no succession.
I don't know why but I had to look up christopher reeve tonight. Has there ever been a more convincing portrayal of an actual superhero onscreen? I loved superman as a kid and it was because of a great movie,but it was also due to christopher reeves superman. In most superhero movies, its the villain who stands out,in every superman movie, reeves was the standout.
Can you please post the whole show? I know Steve Lawrence and Rodney Dangerfield were on the show. Would appreciate it or any others. Steve and Eydie were frequent guests.
He faced tragedy with courage and dignity. He was a super man.
The best Superman hands down.
AMEN
Yes! No doubt about it. I grew up with his Superman movies.
yessir
Certainly.
As much as I love Reeves he was the superman i grew up with but ... Cavil is the best superman hands down

He actually did visit children’s hospitals dressed as Superman

Christopher Reeve made Superman my lifelong hero. May he rest in peace he was an incredible human being.
Me too
Mr. Reeves is tall as heck here. Miss him dearly and his close pal Robin Williams as well. Seems a nice and gentle soul.
Reeve not Reeves!
6’4”
Sometimes forget he was such a big guy
@@kjek1 yup, i met him in perdon around mid 80s, you are so right he was a big & tall fella. RIP Chris Reeves.
You're talking about George Reeves. This is Christopher Reeve, not George Reeves. Two completely different people.
@@Dsai-l8w Dude, it's "Reeve". Good lord.
The world is less without him.
Truly
A very humble man
And we didn't know times like this would become the good Ole Days.
I didn't know the '90s would become the good ole days
@rosesingh339
Right? Imagine how things will be when 2020's will be the good Ole Days. Hmm
I miss him. I miss them Both. Hell I missed the show
So do I.
I miss the late nights with him and Doc Severensen playing his heart out.
Christopher Reeve's greatest role in my opinion has to be when he played Richard Collier in "Somewhere in Time".
110% Agreed.... It was the greatest performance I've ever seen from Reeves! Fully Believable despite the fantasy element.
Jane Seymour & Chris Reeve should’ve been together in real life
@eloisapetermann6810 totally agreeing with you.
The chemistry between them is unmatched in movies between 2 people.
My opinion, of course.
His first movie after "Superman" was "Deathtrap", with Michael Caine, where he turned out to be the married Caine's secret gay lover. There was a very audible groan in the theater when Chris and Michael passionately kissed. The audience just wasn't ready for it at all (not Superman!)...
@igorschmidlapp6987 I didn't need to know that..
Appreciate that..
What an epic chad. Christopher Reeve will always be my favourite Superman.

I'm confused. This is Christopher Reeve. Not "Reeves". I mean...it says in the title.
Johnny Carson 💯 Class Act.

Dave Letterman and Howard Stern changed that just a few years later. 🤣

Christopher Reeve is the one true Superman. Despite his paralysis he still found a way to keep living and inspiring others.

What a super man.

Superman meets Rodney Dangerfield
@@MartySlabeyReeve
I'm sorry you left us so soon....A great Superman....
He was such a nice guy. I never heard one thing negative about him. His accident was tragic. The world lost him too early.
0:49 First thing he does is pay respect to Rodney for his performance! Now that's CLASS boys.
He was beautiful.
Inside and out. ❤
He not woman
I miss him. Somewhere in time is one of my favorite movies 😊
I took him for granted while he was alive. Now, looking back, I see how awesome he was in every way. ❤🎉
We've got Superman on the best talk show ever. Can't beat that.
My baby!!!! ❤ 😢 How I miss him.
Thank you for posting this interview!
Oh Christopher. How we miss you. You were so handsome. Sexy. Gorgeous. The one and only Superman.
I Listen to this and I See Class.
🤝👏👏👏
"He's got brown underwear too." 🤣🤣 I think everyone missed that!
I have brown skid marks
Christopher Reeves was an exceptional human being. Inside and out and all around. It's nice to see him on Johnny Carson.
*Reeve. No S.
He was a good man and you know what he will always is be my Superman.
He was a good soul. God bless him. 😎

Such a hero ❤ I loved him so much..A real superman..films were outstanding 😊 never forgotten 🙏🙏 RIP
He was the perfect choice.
He set the standard!
Bummer that his discussion about getting his bike stolen wasn't here.((
Kinda weird watching this and knowing all three died 25yrs later in less than 3 months apart, with Dangerfield and reeves it was a mere 5 days apart.
he was incredible. George Reeves also incredible

back when Hollywood was classy
And Steve Lawrence in that clip as well!. He passed away this week. 5 greats...all gone now: Johnny, Christopher, Rodney, Steve, and Ed McM.
This is how much time has passed since 1978: Every single person in this entire segment is dead now! My God, am I REALLY this old?!
Yes, get ready!!!
GOD BLESS HIS SOUL 😊⭐️👍⚡️😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Chris is a great actor Forever SUPERMAN ❤❤❤
He is so handsome! Christopher looked really nervous to be on The Tonight Show.
He was (IS) The Only Superman for my childhood, both on screen and off.
Legendary stick man.

En Pandemia he tomado contacto con su fundación,me acompañaron mucho
"Superman is a friend when you need one."
Christopher Reeve.
Look at that the guest list that night. But that was typical of his nightly show
Carson was the best host of the tonight show, sad to see where the show is now with the current host.
The show was dead the day they gave it to Leno instead of Letterman.
He will always be the best superman
That jawline could cut ice!

Met him and Eydie once and both were very nice.
Anyone else wonders what was the music at the start ? Loved Doc’s band.
love him

How ironic about Christopher Reeve. He plays superman, and then has a terrible equestrian accident that breaks his neck. 😔
But then he performed wonderfully in the "Rear Window" remake.

He was born to play Superman.

Christopher Reeve, Rodney Dangerfield, Steve Lawrence, and Susan Sarandon in the same show. Man, they don't make them like this anymore!
I wish Sarandon was gone and the other 3 were still here.
Funny, but Adam West said the same thing about 'no pockets' while playing Batman.
..he and Robin Williams were at Julliard at the same time.
Rodney was the first guest!
I think Steve Lawrence was.
