Kurt Russell deserves to be recognized with a Life Achievement Award for an excellent movie career that has spanned 60 years.
He should get a joint award with Goldie, neither one of them have got one!
@@MADWORLD1427 Yeah, but at least she has her Oscar. He should have been nominated at least a couple of times.
Yes 👍
Right?! He is the man! I was just ‘Jack Burton’ for Halloween 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I watched an old rerun of the original Lost in Space. Kurt was on it as some space tough kid who challenged Will Robinson to a duel.
You can tell Kurt is super proud of Wyatt
A fantastic family through and through.
You can,, very true
They are both hilarious. Kurt's laugh is so enjoyable
Right!?! He just seems like such a fun, down to earth guy.
And it's a real laugh
I agree he has a great laugh.
It’s the best
@@judyweeks1480le eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I have always admired Kurt. He was a neighbour of my good friends at Kurt’s cottage in northern Ontario. My friends claim Goldie & Kurt are the nicest level people he’d ever met. Their children were so polite and untarnished. Goes to show you goodness is part of their private lives.
Wow, Kurt & Goldies cottage was very close to my aunt & uncles cottage as well in Muskoka! We visited and hoped to see them but never did..😅
I love hearing this because that’s the exactly how I picture them as well, regular people who just happen to be famous. And the fact that they are also known for being kind is just amazing.
They’ve had their Muskoka cottage forever now. I remember years ago Goldie was getting mad at ppl driving their boats constantly trying to get pics of their home. Apparently and no surprise their great neighbours . Muskoka is such a beautiful area
Kurt and Goldie stayed at a hotel I worked at and the staff just ADORED them for being so kind and regular and nice. They went on and on about them.
Southern ontario 10:17
Jimmy killed it with the "Say hello to Goldie" joke! 🤣🤣🤣
you probably laugh when you fart
I get it. This is how you vent! With strangers on the internet... Hmm.
I think you oughta take some big puffs of that kush and just let everyone be...
Kurt laughed hard at that! 😂
@@kushking949 You probably fart when you laugh.
I met Kurt when Wyatt was playing hockey in Richmond. Kurt saw my Great Dane across the arena parking lot and called out. I actually thought it was a guy I know until I got closer. Was so hard to be cool. He hugged and kissed Daina’s head. After he drove away I did the crazy fan dance. 😍
I guess it was only a matter of time before we saw this father-son duo in an interview together lol. It’s fascinating how they both went down nearly identical paths in their lives
It's called money when your daddy has money you get to do anything you want
If only there was a word that could capture when a parent confers their privilege to lift up their kids. Imagine that.
@@oompaloompa14There already is! It's called nepotism. It's literally the definition you just wrote 😂
@@kushking949Oh please! That is so rediculous. Do you say that about every parent on earth that's worked hard to give their children a better future. You know that's what good parents do right.
It's called being a nepo baby
Why I love Kimmel. He lets them TALK. And we have a real conversation in a 10 mins plus clip. Love it. These Russell boys are so cute
Agreed, he also asks interesting questions.
Not like Stephen Colbert who wants all the attention.
@@bobcatbigpaws5597 Even Stephen does that, depending on who's the guest and how the conversation goes. Same with Jimmy Kimmel and others "Late" shows' hosts. In that job it's important to have flexibility to instantly adapt _{my comment is based on my professional point of view, not just an opinion}. Besides their shows have different pace compared to each other, Colbert's show has a faster rhythm while Kimmel's has a different someway slower pace.
Kurt Russel taught Wyatt well. Wyatt is one of those people that can tell great stories and keep you listening
Honestly, his hockey story started off with a bit of a sputter..
@@PapagenoMF That's not called honesty, that's your opinion. Which we are all entitled to. But to say his story started out as a "sputter" isn't some kind of fact, it's just a neggative opinion that you chose to share. For what purpose, I have no clue...
Watching dads face light up when his boy speaks is so fantastic.
Kurt Russel has had an epic career, and he elevates everything he's in. He saved "Escape from New York", for sure.
Now and again, I quote one of his lines from Big Trouble in Little China.
Oscar Worthy?🎉
@@mikewhite4560EFNY was definitely Oscar worthy
Yeah I actually watched that one 😂
@@andrewvelonis5940yes love that movie.
What a delightful family. Love them. A happy and wholesome family.
nepos
@@h7opolosorry about your luck
@@h7opoloYes, shameful that a son would follow in his father's footsteps.
Kurt Russel is an American hero.
"Big Trouble in Little China" best 80's movie ever!
Don't forget"John Carpenter's The Thing."
Facts!
Kurt's always been a legend
I love Kurt Russell. Best charisma of all hollywood
Kurt was fortunately never Hollywood. He was and should remain adjacent. As should Goldie.
Awesome interview! The positive energy from both Kurt and Wyatt is palpable. And their love for each other, Goldie and Wyatt's siblings shines through.
Hell yeah! I don't know about anyone else, but I'll take all the love and positive energy that I can get, these days! 😊
@@versatiliansAbsolutely! I think we all need that. I saw Kurt play baseball when I was young for the farm team here in Bend, Oregon one summer. He then went to the minor team Portland Beavers. Kurt's just one of those guys anybody would love to hang out with. 😎
This was one of the most enjoyable interviews I've seen in a long time
Kurt Russell is a happy guy!
He's laughing at everything, he seems like such a good time
I would be happy if I was super rich as well
Somebody stopping you from trying, bud? Why so negative?
Also, why watch this on KZhead, after the TV airing had taken place? It's such a deliberate act for something you obviously dislike! Why buddy?
That was such a cool interview,always admired kurt and goldie for their down to earth attitude thats never changed.and Wyatt is just the neatest guy,nice work the jimmy kimmel team for putting this together.
I remember seeing Wyatt for the first time, and being impressed by his acting, and it wasn't even anything that most people saw. There were Webisodes/short films that were tie-ins to Walking Dead, that were only available to watch on the Walking Dead Website. Back in the early seasons of the show.
It’s hard for me to see Kurt and hear his laugh and not immediately think “Santa Clause”. His epic portrayal will forever be my favorite Santa.
Are we getting another one this season?
@@coyoboyowe better
I love Kurt, so much. Best laugh in Hollywood.
I'm so impressed with Kurt's hair!
Grey hair is the best. I had a dream about j.k. couple days ago. I never seen this television show
I love the way Kurt Russell laughs. Awesome!!
I grew up on Kurt Russell movies.... AND got to see him play baseball on the Bend, OR team... AND his dad, Bing Russell, one of the sheriffs on Bonanza, was in the stands!!! Good people create good people! Enjoyable interview!
I saw him play there at the stadium off third street. I can't remember if they were called the Elks at that time or not. I still live in the Bend area.
Backdraft and his contsant use of the line throughout nearly every film he has ever been in, "What changes, stays the same."
Kurt’s laugh 😂 love it
Love Kurt and his hearty laugh...
My favorite Kurt Russell film is Big Trouble in Little China! Such an amazing and surprising film at the time it was released!
It's also my favorite, I've seen that movie at least 50 times on vhs. I think Dwayne Johnson is remaking it, I hope it's going to be good.
John Carpenter's The Thing. I watch it every time I can, currently playing it nonstop on Hulu. I live for his last words to the Thing, "Yea, eff you too!,"
I hope they do it justice! Big Trouble in Little China is right up there with Halloween as one of my favorite John Carpenter movies! @@Huestein2000
The Thing was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo AWESOME! I haven't seen it in about 10 years and I saw it popped up on Hulu. Such a great and gnarly film! LOVE IT!@@JadenKaye
Kurt Russell is the most genuinely happy person out there. He's a joy to listen to.
Wyatt would make a good Captain America.
He Killed It In “The Hateful Eight” 🔥🔥
Kurt is king
they're just gorgeous...chuckled through that whole interview
I've been a big fan of Kurt Russell since he was a teenager at Disney. And now his son is starting too. 💪😎
I love Kurt Russell's laugh lol...he is so awesome!!
Grew up on those old Disney films .. he is one of the few celebrities I’ve actually met in person long ago in San Diego .. it’s nice to see their kids have followed them into show business .
Their “kids” are middle aged 😉
Wow! Kurt and Goldie must be proud. Their son is handsome and funny!
Shave the beard, Wyatt.
Wyatt looks like he’s ready to star in The Thing remake! He looks so much like his dad!
Wyatt is a star like his father. He just shines in this series. He's got that charisma of the badass leading man.
Monarch is so good. Just finished watching it. They were both excellent!
love their hearty laughs!
Such a blessing to grow old to see your children have their own children.🙏🏾
Kurt and Goldie must have the best family Xmas.
The UFO stories are HYSTERICAL!!!!!! 😂
I hadn’t noticed how similar to Kurt in The Thing Wyatt looks like in this interview!
He will always be the "Computer that wears tennis shoes."
Kirt and Wyatt are two groovy dudes, lol. I have to watch this series. Blessings to you both and your families.
I love Kurt Russell… he’s such a great guy with a marvelous family!
I was in the 6th grade when the Thing/Escape from New York came out Been hooked on Kurt since then
Those epic beard genes sure made their way to Wyatt.
Wyatt has been on my radar since "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," and he has been growing on me ever since. Such a well-spoken, fun person and an amazing actor as well. And ofcourse, Kurt is a Legend.
For me it was the episode of black mirror he was on. So good
Kurt Russell 👍
So much fun, can’t wait for the show!😂
As a parent of a son, Kurt's joy is so clear. What a time for them.
Jimmy set the "Say Hi to your mom" joke up beautifully!
We love Kurt and Wyatt Russell
What a handsome pair. ❤
I have always liked and admired Kurt Russell he is just a dynamic actor. And his son, wyatt, mannerisms the way that he talks his speech is just like his father.😊
What a FUN interview! Those two are a blast!
I am so happy seeing Kurt and Wyatt together. They are so much alike in looks and personality. Forwarding this to a best friend who will love this too. We have been Kurt Russell fans since forever. Thank you for this!
There is no one else better suited to play young Kurt Russell than his own son. They have the same laid back charming energy.
That was a good one jimmy! Hilarious
Good to see kurt russell back at it after all the covid mess!! Looks like he never ages, im jealous!! Hope his next movies and endeavours do well and anxious to see them!!
That's the Apple Valley for ya.
If they reboot Big Trouble in Little China, Wyatt better play Jack Burton!
Goldie was probably high as a kite. 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
The whole family is pure fun and joy, it’s so wonderful ❤
I've always loved Kurt Russell and Goldie to no end. It was really nice to see their son and hear about the family I wish I could have seen him without the beard though😊
He looks like he could go toe to toe with an extraterrestrial being whilst in an Arctic research facility
@@pastormolez8235 bummer they didn't show a picture of the grandson :/ out of all the badasses they came out of the '80s he's the one I'll always have an attachment to.
You can see Wyatt without his beard in the clip Jimmy showed of the show they're both starring in as the same character.
@@pastormolez8235 Thank you! That's all I could see! He looks just like his dad in The Thing!
One of my favorite Hollywood families.
I love Godzilla & Kurt so I am ready for this
Love Kurt
Love their matching senses of humour. Great interview.
Kurt & Goldie are my favourite Hollywood couple! I watched Goldie for the 1st. time in "Foul Play" and Kurt in "Escape From New York"! Wyatt mentioning their cottage in Muskoka reminded me that on a fishing trip with 3 pals, I dove naked off our boat to retrieve my most expensive lure that got entangled right in front of their cottage! my friends and the people on their deck were laughing their heads off, but I wasn't going to loose that lure, lol!
I just Love That Family!!
Kurt was my teenage crush. I still love him and watch his movies! And I loved Goldie on Laugh-In!
Such a fun interview. Enjoyed it very much, thank you.
I just finished watching the Santa Claus movie that Kurt and Goldie made. My 7 yr old grandson and I loved it. Kurt was so handsome as Santa Claus. We loved the movie ❣️
Saskatchewan is an incredible place to live and be a hockey fan.🇨🇦 also Wyatt could be Tormound.
I’ve loved these actors both completely separately. I’m never knew that they were father and son which I think is a testament to how great they both are in their own rights
kurt has been one of my fav action movie heroes...Snake plisskien, Jack Burton, Gabe Cash, and Col. Jack O Niel,.. the man is a living legend.
The Thing is one of my all time favorite films (Especially the new 4K Version) & it’s the first time I’ve ever seen Kurt Russell before in 1982 & been watching him as an actor ever since, his son looks just like him and has the same nice demeanor as his famous dad aswell….so happy for the Russell family👍🏾
The commentary on the thing is so good too
@@ericg1100 thank you 😲👍
I love Kurt so much. This interview is so nice. ❤
You can tell they love to laugh. It’s must be fun at their family get togethers.
One of my favorite Kurt movie quotes: [as Wyatt Earp] _Go ahead, skin it! Skin that smokewagon & see what happens!_
Yes!!! That line is from "Tombstone" -- one of the best Western movies ever made. It is one of my faves and I know it verbatim!! 😳🤣💯
Kurt has a great laugh.
Kurt Russell is the best. Loved him in Big Trouble in Little China.
2 of my absolute favorite people. J’adore them
Say hi to your mom was fantastic ! Me and my friends and pilots saw UFOS in Brazil so many times. There is one beach they are always there , it is secluded . They have different colours of lights and they are pretty much as the pictures or drawings about flying discs
great interview, Kurt is a legend and it's so refreshing to laugh at yourself
I would luv to be a fly on the wall (or really, a guest) at their family get togethers! Must be filled with so much fun and laughter! 😂🤣😂
The hair though! 🤜🤛
OMG! The haters on here. What’s that saying about if you have nothing good to say don’t say anything at all?
Such a fun interview to watch!
I love Kurt Russell! Adorable, loving family!
These guys just seem SO great! :) The two of them and their family: such an amazing amount of talent. Fantastic interview, Jimmy.
I love Kurt,he’s such a good actor and seems like the salt of the earth guy. His son is a slitting image of him
Kurt Russell looks great!
Wyatt Russell is a fine actor, really love him in Overlord!
Wyatt played his junior hockey in Vancouver and Kurt and Goldie moved to Vancouver to be with him. Such a great family and great to see them successful. Wyatt was a excellent goaltender by the way.
Still waiting on that Escape from New York remake with Wyatt as Snake
New Escape from new york when? Old snake and young snake 👀👌
No. Just no. It won't happen. It would be inferior. We'd be better off with an "Old Snake" movie rounding out Kurt's performance.
In what way is wyatt anything like snake pliskin
@@justingoldstein5302that's the point of being an actor
@@TihetrisWeathersby So by that logic, Edward Norton could play any Dwayne The Rock Johnson roll? right. Is that what you're saying?
I still remember the series The Quest 💜
