What a treat to be able to hear that line delivery from the man himself. It's crazy that he loves the fans and material that much, really a treat for us all.
Man wasn't that a treat , really cool.
@turksandcaicos
What a treat indeed😊
He just needed the sideburns!
Absolutely. He's truly the GOAT and such an legend/ national treasure. I'm so jealous of anyone who's had a fan interaction with him! I hope to be so blessed with one in my life and his. Love him SO MUCH!❤
He is the coolest 75year old on the freaking planet!!🤘👍
black and asian people are lookin so good in old age (majority) :D
Samuel Jackson talking like Denzel do Bryce Dallas Howard in that movie clip
I was SHOCKED to learn that he'd just turned 75. He doesn't look, sound, or act like 75 at all! Way to go, Mr. Jackson!
that make up is crazy
Thought exactly the same thing...
@@BarisTitanX No that black skin!
@@PA-zt6xuExactly! I’m 62 and natural! No one believes my age!!!
@@BarisTitanXNah, just the gift of dark skin. All that extra melanin gives extra protection from the sun. So, all you need is just some basic skin care and your skin will look fine even at that age.
Wow, i dont know if im going to be alive at 75. This man is legendary
I don’t know if I’m going to be alive at 35
And another seventymofuckinyearstogoDoyouhearme!!!
@@MrLazlnessLook after your body just incase. 👍😁 (can attest myself. Blaze of glory’s don’t always happen. My spine hates me ;)
And he looks great too.
black don’t crack lol
If someone said he's 59, nobody would even flinch. 😳
I'm 66 and I wish my man looked one iota as good as him😂
You could literally say 45 -50 easy
I'd call BS. This man is in his late 40s 😄
Cuz Black don't crack!
Maaaaannnn I’m black and even I’m impressed!!! I thought 70, not 75!!!
holy cow! Sam is a great actor .. he still remembers how to talk a 30-year-old dialogue fluently
Nah that’s timeless dialogue right there!
75? I'm his age, I feel OLD.
Sorry mate. It was a monolog, part of a dialogue. Just joking. But anyway, you're right. The man is just great. A living legend. Could be playing Shakespeare's Hamlet or a drug dealer in the Bronx. He blows me away. Love the man. GEE S. from Germany
@@gees6716 He has done Shakespeare.
After 30 years ( and 200 movies ) he remembers his great monologue and gives another stellar performance. I almost thought he must be reading cue cards, but I doubt it very much.
75 happy birthday mother lover! you look great!😊
😂 Mother FATHER!
😂😂
Who could have imagined that he is 75 years old except for the people that grew up watching him. And what a performance he remembered that whole line from the the movie. He is one of my favorite motherfukers in the movie industry
He was reading off a teleprompter but yes he is an awesome actor!
I agree always one of my favorites
Like that other person said,he's probably reading a teleprompter
@@thedon9670I doubt that he needed a teleprompter to recite that particular “line”, because it is actually a bible verse. If you know anything about learning bible verses you know that they are there ingrained in your brain and soul permanently once you learn them. God’s word is God’s word.
@@breakthewheelnow8223 you mean people's words are people's words. The damn bible wasn't written by an imaginary dude in the sky 😂
😂😂😂😂 Mr. Jackson is the man. What he have brought to the movies, theater hell even commercials he's top notch. Much respect 🙏🏾
What's in your wallet, mthrfka!!! 😁
Lol exactly 💯
Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies. 😊
Absolutely
Same!
WHAT?
Yes !!!
@@ng-r8765 You have NO taste.
The clocked stopped at a certain age for this legend..He seems 25 years younger than he is
He's got the money for the best doctors to pay for his every aches and pains..
@@user-be7tc2bd6eyou guys act like money can solve every health issue. He’s in great shape for his age. For example,let’s say he had billions doctors wouldn’t be able to stop him aging or his brain function declining
He and Keanu are one of the few that has unlocked the secret of aging
This was one of the best talk show interviews ever
look at Jimmys face at 11:03 he looks like the happiest kid ever :DDDD
Yes! I love how he laughs when he’s doing a really fun interview!!!
That was epic! Cannot believe 75yo!
i couldn’t do nothing but smile from ear to ear and recite in unison at the end when he did his monologue from Pulp Fiction 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🐐🫡
How did he remember that monologue from 30 years ago
Me too lol
He was just missing the sideburns!
Class. Act. LOVE Sam Jackson!
Whatchoo talking,, Sam wasn't in The Matrix...
I have loved this guy ever since he tried to hold up McDowell’s in Coming to America. What a great actor !!
Man oh man I love Samuel Jackson. Fantastic actor.
Congratulations! I love that man, he is the coolest person in the world! :)
The fro made me really chuckle! Man, 30 years! And then he does the monologue!! Legend!
That must have been a real treat seeing him perform the lines live! He has amazing recall. I can’t even remember off the top of my head things from a few days ago.
Wow! Loved loved loved the closing quote and scene. Bravo! And Amen!
That was some quote from one of his movies, PULP FICTION
I was there in the audience and man seeing him in person doing the most iconic line was beautiful.
What a legend. And the pulp fiction bit at the end was 🤌🏻🤌🏻
The briefcase moment was fuckin' cool.
Wonderful monologue. 30 years & he remembers his line’s & hits his marks. Well done Sir & Happy Birthday 🎁 ❤
6:32 Oof that got too real for me. "What do you want for your birthday? Wake up." It's late at night and I am having an existential crisis. Like you really realise that waking up the next day is indeed the biggest gift you can get.
Sam Jackson just gave me goosebumps
Awesome. Classic. One of a kind. To think he really didn't start his career until age 40 and now looking incredible for 75 still doing his thing. Good for him!!!
Fun fact: Mr. Jackson became famous at the age of 45 (when he did Pulp Fiction). Amazing!! 200 movies later... 🙌👏👏👏don't stop trying if you really believe
Damn I love this guy's movies so much
PULP FICTION - One of my favorite films!
Sam is a gem ! I've watched hundreds of hours of his films while hung over, at movie theaters, at a friends house, even in the car on an IPad. I know his voice better than many friends.
Only actor that can stop me cold and make me giggle in the same breath.
I met SLJ in NYC once what a nice guy, I was working a black car job and was supposed to take him to a flight he changed his mind and tipped me a note
That Julius bit at the end was priceless. My all time favourite movie. Mr Jackson, YOU ARE A LEGEND!!!!
Good God. 75? He looks 45.❤ And, he remains a smart, funny, and engaging fella. Wish this clip was 20mins longer!
As soon as he put that wig on I was playing for him to say that line. Sam Jackson you are an absolute legend ❤❤
Wow, just wow! When he did the quote from the movie at the end...!!!!!!
Black don't Crack. He still looks as young as he did in coming to America!!
Was looking for this comment 👏🏽🙌🏽
Omg!!! Samuel looks AMAZING for 75!!!! WOW!!!❤❤❤
75? The very first time I saw him was in 1994 as a child in the 90's when the first Jurassic Park came out. That was THIRTY years ago. Watch that movie. If you shaved his head in that movie, you'd have the man sitting on stage. He must found the fountain of youth or the sorcerers stone or the precious or drink the blood of the innocent. For real, I wish everyone looked like that at 75. He's at life expectancy already. go SLJ!
What a great way to end the segment!
You know I found a very early in his career movies, he looks better older than younger, his so cool 😎. Yay 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A Man: What do you want for your birthday? Mr. Jackson: to wake up? 😂😂😂😂
Love the interviews with Samuel & his wife; their love/humor keeps them young.
I'm getting tearful with Sam Jackson. Legend.
I love that he did that scene from Pulp Fiction! One of my favorites!
Legendary! I got goosebumps when he did his monologue from PF!
He's just pure awesomeness
Truly a living legend Sam is one bad motha.............
Mr Jackson's ID must be checked. He is nowhere close to 65 let alone 75. A lot of factors for this amazing ageing I guess, DNA, living fully and being grounded outside of being this spectacular. You are a treasure Sir
We come from greatness and legends lucky we are blessed but in a country that doesn't acknowledge us
I'm sure eating a lot of tasty burgers helped.
And money.
You forgot being black. Melanin in darker skin slows the aging process.
Ezekiel 25:17 - the last rack on that album. I heard it so many times. Thank you man!
"I don't remember asking you a G0D DAMN thing!" - love Samuel
Having him guess his character by the obscure titles was a hoot!
Those were the names of his characters in the films
Wow!!! I Love Samuel Jackson!!! I Really want to look that good at 75!!!
Homie got a standing ovation for putting on a wig! LEGEND ❤️✊🏽❤️
I always loved Samuel. He is old enough to be my dad, but seems to get younger every year.
We love you Samuel Jackson 😘 and happy birthday 🎈
Freaging hard-core applause to this legendary speech re-creation! Fabulous actor!!!
Honest to God, I actually saw Pulp Fiction in a movie theater earlier in the evening. Got home and then saw this! It never gets old! SLJ is a legend!
Whenever i see Samuel on screen i just motherfreaking love it❤....
75 keep going strong. HBD!
Samuel Jackson,Handsome Brilliant,Smart,Strong, Intelligent ❤Iconic,Legendary Actor,and Entertainer, He's definitely the Goat🎉, I'm a Lifetime Fan of his,and he have a beautiful Wife and daughter, Samuel is very Blessed
Together for Days (1972). Was Samuel Jackson first movie he acted in.. and he don't even remember.. done so many movies lol 52 years of acting..
Samuel looks great, hard to believe he's 75! What a legend.
Jimmy, thanks SO MUCH for having same as a guest and (OF COURSE) for having him recite our most favorite Pulp Fiction verse! I was smiling the entire time!!
Fun fact: Many years ago when Jimmy Kimmel Live was still a new show, Quentin Tarantino took over directing duties of the show which had references to his movies throughout, including Jimmy dressed in a Reservoir Dogs suit and the band as the Crazy 88s, and at one point there as a Mexican standoff between Jimmy and I can't remember who were the other two haha. I have no idea why the JKL channel doesn't upload clips from old episodes.
UNCLE SAM!!!! We love you foreveeeerr!!!!!
Nice job Mr. Kimmel interviewing this acting legend and superGOAT who's lookin' superfine! Loved the Pulp Fiction thing, and to hear SLJ do some lines??? Be still my heart! Would see this man in anything (always worth checking out though admit have never seen Snakes on a Plane...but I would). Much love to Mr. Jackson, and wishing him another journey (one of many more) 'round the sun in good health and with much happiness. ❤☮🌎
Oh my lord!!! thirty years later he remembers that line from pulp...my all time fave role of his...next to ..say what again!! Baby the academy needs to recognize you more...your the best -next morgan freedom..75...damn~
Samuel Jackson really is a class act and a national treasure.
he still remember his lines of a very old movie. What a memory!
Say what again 45 say what again 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You mean-. SAY WHAT AGAIN, SAY WHAT AGAIN!!! 😂 (I wish I had larger font!) 😂
Everybody in the movie theatre was yelling "don't say it, you fool".
@@GS-uy4xo "Do they speak English in What?"
This man is the closest legend to a forever young star❤
I love him THANKS SAMUEL JACKSON
Daaaaamn... when he recited the lines ... I got goosebumps I got goosebumps!!!😅
I am pleased that I get to share time with this man. He is admirable.
I don’t think they asked him to do those lines. Fan service pure and simple. Absolutely amazing!
Wow! I enjoyed that exchange so much! Thank you.
Best actor alive
Wow! The best line in a movie ever! 🎉🎉🎉Love SLJ!❤
The force is strong in this mother****er !!! ❤
Lucky enough to have lived in a time of this great actor and enjoy his many rolls and talents
Sam is so fun. I loved this.
75…omg he looks and behaves like a 40 year old.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Amazing!! 75! I love him in all his movies!!
What a beautiful soul. What a treat. Wish to meet him. He is fantastic!!
Brilliant - he remembers every part he played 30 years ago, even tiny bit parts, and dialogue from a film from 30 years ago, but Trump is proud he can recall 5 (not six he can't count) words for 30 minutes, in order to prove he doesn't have dementia.
One of the better interviews! Great vibes❤ new found respect for Jackson
Mind Blown! I have met both of the in the 90's at different times. Both are the most down to earth people and are both funny. It makes sense that they are close.
I love love love Samuel!!!
I bow down to this living legend.
I did not know Samuel Jackson and Magic Johnson were such good friends but it makes total sense. You can see the same joy Samuel has acting that Ervin used to have playing basketball It is palpable how much they love what they do
My fav actor of all time! The GOAT 🐐 Sam Jackson is a legend
256 acre vineyard in my home town of Dorking, Surrey producing 1 million bottles of award winning wine.
Wow! Awesome segment!! Love Sammy!!🎉❤
Compared to other people over 70 I know he is just incredible in shape mentally and physically. I wish I will be as fit as him at that age!
Amazing man. Pulp Fiction is still my all time favorite movie.
He is such a good mood, so nice that he remembered the speech.
