Fred Savage on Being a Hall Pass, The Wonder Years & Ignoring Carl Reiner
Fred talks about shooting a sketch for the Emmys and finding out that he’s a “hall pass” for some people online, getting his start in acting, being nominated for an Emmy as a kid, his experience presenting an award with Carl Reiner haunting him for years, taking up pickleball during the pandemic, the new reimagining of “The Wonder Years,” and he passes the baton to the new star of the show EJ Williams.

It's always a great thing when child-actors manage to grow up and transform into well-grounded and successful adults like he has. He's a talented man and still as handsome as ever. 📺🧡
The girl who played Winnie Cooper, Danica McKellar, is also an amazing person, got a degree in math and has become an advocate for math education, especially for girls. That show must have really watched out for the wellbeing of the child actors.
I never thought he was cute really when we were kids, but dang he's gotten really handsome.
the remake of the 90s show the wonder years tomorrow on abc
It was too good to be true...
O Palmeiras não tem mundial e o Corinthians é small
Same energy as when he was young. Love this guy, Fred.
he's probably ADD.
I have that same energy, it’s called cocaine
Looks the same too. Some child actors are now unrecognizable, but he didn't change much.
he is still a boy
Does anyone remember the Robin Williams movie "Hook", and when the Lost Boy was like, "Peter Pans gots kids!?" That was me just now.... "Kevin Arnold gots kids!?"😳
He looks like he's never had a drink or smoke. He looks so good!!
He definitely seems to be gulping down happy pills like MnMs! 😂
@@paulmc3457 lmaooo I sensed that too.
But he speaks like he's just done a kilo of coke.
I wonder if he snorts amphetamines though, bc he seemed turnt up
He's bursting with stories to tell. Go write a book Fred, ya savage 🥴
Fred Savage has always been a cool guy, particularly in interviews. He’s always so happy and positive. You could say a lifetime in showbiz teaches you how to conduct yourself that way, but I honestly just believe that’s who he is. The show is wonderful and will be important. Excited to see where it goes.
Fred Savage is a genuinely good actor.
Yes. As a kid Fred Savage was good. Child actors can either be good or come across as precocious and irritating.
Oswald 🐙
Fred is high energy and a great storyteller. I was hoping he'd get the co-host job on Live with Kelly. Of course, you can't beat the charisma of Ryan Seacrest (heavy sarcasm).
LOVING THE NEW WONDER YEARS!! As a devoted fan of the old I'm so very glad they decided to do it and that dear sweet Fred is involved :)
Thank you Fred for your work and for the wonderful childhood memories!
I just enjoy Fred's energy and loved growing up with him on The Wonder Years; just wish we could rewatch it; wonder if it's on any of the streaming apps?🤷♀️
Pluto is free, btw. You can watch from your phone or smart tv.
@@aarfan44 I know that you can watch from phones or smart tvs...I was trying to find out where to watch the older version. I've never heard of Pluto
@@haleyanne86 well theres your answer
@@Orangeflava yeah
HULU
Much love Fred! You’ll always be a heart throb to me.
I love Fred Savage, so clever, witty and smart! I remember watching his show when he was young.
Wonder years 💪one of my all time favorites when I was a kid
Great reason for me to binge the original Wonder Years. I was like 6 when it aired on ABC ...loved the all the young actors chemistry 🥰🥰🥰
I didn't think I could adore Fred Savage more than I already do and then he told the pickle ball stories🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He should definitely make a movie about it😁🤣 And EJ is awesome
Lol right, I was rolling on that pickle ball story 🤣
"What would you do if I sang out of tune...Would you stand up and walk out on me?"- CLASSIC :) Jimmy should have asked him what Winnie Cooper is doing these days
If I'm not mistaken, she's a widely-regarded author of books that encourage teen/girls to get into mathematics and has published a scientific paper.
Possibly the best Beatles cover ever made.
Savage is a great storyteller. Too funny!
LOL, the Princess Bride kid is on the men's most wanted list.
That is funny. 🤣
I’ve Never Looked At The Wonder Years But Have “Always” Been Fond of Fred Savage However it’s Great To See A Hollywood Child Star, Grow Up To Be Someone That You Can Admire and Point Your Kids & Grandkids In That Direction.
Yes. A child actor who grew up to be well adjusted. It seems that all the kids on The Wonder Years turned out all right.
How is it that you type your comments by capitalizing the first letter of every word? I have never ever seen anyone do that before, just very odd and unusual
@@oneirishpoet I Write For a Living and it’s just Something I Picked Up Working for a Company Taking Notes 🗒 for my Boss at Meetings……. Sorry, Hope It’s not to Off Putting.
Why did you capitalize everything
Delightful, Fred is delightful!🥰
so much energy!! this literally made me smile and get out of bed with much enthusiasm!!
It was such a great show back in the day and he hasn’t aged!
I've enjoyed him on Little Monsters and The Wizard as well as the iconic show.
My two fav movies of his!
Little monsters is great
Wizard wasnt a movie. It was just a 90 minute Nintendo commercial
And Princess Bride!
@@hijinks21 Who cares it was awesome
I llllooooovvvvveeeeeeddd The Wonder Years. What a quality production.
Jimmy introduces Fred Savage, and the theme song "With a Little Help from My Friends" comes to mind. That was a great show, and song - from the Beatles, and redone by - Joe Cocker.
Omg he’s so cute!!! I was smiling through the entire interview 🥰🥰🥰 so cute!! Love his energy!
He had a terrific show that lasted maybe 5 episodes called working that I absolutely loved. The actress who played Winnie cooper was a on it once, And Fred savage had the very funny line of saying I didn't really like her sure reminded me of this girl I knew growing up
Remember how cute he was on Princess Bride? The wonder years was super great. He doesn’t look like a Fred to me.
Oswald the octopus has grown up LOL
I loved Oswald
Fred is still a fine boy... Jimmy.. You da man .
He did an awesome job on “No One Would Tell”.
We always knew Fred Savage is amazing 👏🏾
Love Fred! He's so funny!!!💖
Wonderfully savage energy. 🤫 Those thirst-tweets, though 🤣
KZhead put a pickleball ad during this video. Seemed strange, but now it makes sense
Cant wait til The Wonder Years! Amazing!
Wow, Fred Savage is 45yrs old, time what are you doing to me? He looks great, so proud of him.
It's weird that Fred Savage started on the Wonder Years at 11 years old, the same age that his brother Ben Savage did boy meets world
He still got that baby face!
So glad to hear about the new "Wonder Years". Should be fantastic!
This dude on reddit during the Finals was so distraught over the show being remade,. It makes perfect sense, it was an amazing show and it's time to see the another perspective on the American family during that time, super happy Fred's involved, really enjoyed that offshoot office sitcom he did as well.
Can't watch Fred Savage without smiling, even now that he's all grown up. Series sounds great, will definitely tune in.... I just checked. Lee Daniels is a producer on the show. This gives me hope.
Fred... it's always a blast playing pickleball with you. You're a riot on and off the court.
He’s awesome. I had a huge crush on Winnie Cooper. It’s nice to see he’s still around.
I miss watching him on “Friends from College”
Loved him in "the wonder years"
Omg Oswald the octopus's voice artist!! I never knew this 🤩
He was great in Friends From College!!
he used to have crush on my daughter in middle high school, actually mentioned her name on Johnie Carsons show, that fact and five dollars will get me a coffee at Starbucks!
He’s so awesome please make more movies
Fred is so upbeat!
Can't wait to watch the Wonder Years!
Wonder years was a staple in my house back in the day.
I love Fred 💜😍
Some much energy!! Dude's a riot..
He NEVER AGES!!!!!
I love the sound of the new Wonder years. Also LOVE Don Cheadle!
Little Monsters & The Wizard are still two of my favorites I proudly still own on VHS and DVD.
I remember Fred. He hasn't aged a bit!
Let’s go come on 2023 blessed 2024 best yet to come
Still I love this guy!
Guillermo giggling at the start :D
I Love this Man !! And Fred Savage too !!
Fred Savage should have his own talk show. Perfect personality and voice for it. He still sounds the same!!
Ralph Macchio vibes lol
Can't wait to see the New Wonder Years! Cheers Fred! Cheers EJ!
My god, does he not age?!? He still looks 15! 😅
I didn't know he was involved with the reboot. That's awesome!! I wonder if his brother inspired him with Girl Meets World 🤣
Every so often I see 13yo Fred in his expressions. My DIL plays pickleball & her & her friends are in their early 30s. The new show has a delightful young man as the new “Kevin”
loved him in the princess bride!
I know him and Ben are brothers but it’s so crazy how much they are alike I was just rewatching boys meets world and they remind me so much of one another .About to rewatch wonder years now
You can never live up to the original show. No matter how you try.
I grew up in LA and am the same age as Fred and people thought I was him a few times lol
Great PSA.
Omg I enjoy hearing him cuz he sounds like he’s still voicing Oswald
You look good boy... ✌🏿Great to see you again.
He’s sure exuberant.
Fred Savage barely aged 😂 🤣
Best known as the Voice of Oswald the Octopus on Nick Jr
Little monsters!! Who remembers?
I always knew something was off...
LoL
Awww hey💜
I know Fred is 45 now but he still looks and feels like the little kid I grew up watching on TV
I love Fred Savage
Nearly the same baby face as when he was Kevin! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I still have a crush on him.
How awesome wonder year reboot
Fred can play that Papa John’s founder that got canceled in a skit or something.
I love him
He is really handsome love to hear him talk
@@Hyoscyamus369 why not what happened
@@Hyoscyamus369 oh wow I didn’t hear about that
🤣🤣🤣 He is hilarious
cool talkin about pickleball awesome
It’s Oswald 🥺
I crushed so hard on him back in the wonder years days. Still do. 😍
He is quite crushable.. 👀in the nicest way:)
Jimmy Kimmel live 🎉❤🎉❤ Fred Savage is my hall pass i so would love meet the one and only someday dream come true
❤ Fred Savage
They should do a sequel to the WIZARD. AWESOME!
I guess Fred just got MeToo-ed. I’m not surprised even though I liked his work.
Bring back the Grinder!
