A Fish Called Wanda Cast on "Donahue" - Part 1 of 4 

I've been looking deperately for years for my old, decrepit VHS of this. It's probably in the rings of Saturn with all the lost socks. THANK YOU SO MUCH for uploading this!

Wow, that was fantastic ad lib between Cleese and Curtis. She stole this show

What a genius of a film this is.. John Cleese has been a hero of mine since I was a kid. They all play fabulously together in the film.. and I can't imagine it being done any better at all. ..

This is what I love about RU-vid - can find *anything*- like a pop culture Library of Congress Thx for the upload 🙏🏻

The 80s-ness of the audience is mind boggling lol

Mr Kline stole the show in this movie. He rightfully deserved the best supporting actor award.

that movie is genius.

jamie lee rocks!

At about 10:10 Jamie Lee Curtis starts throwing Donahue some funny stuff but Donahue just wasn't ready for that. So fun to see him so flustered.

How many times did Donahue cut Michael Palin off when he was still speaking briefly and loudly go back to John Cleese ? I lost count. Then he let Cleese ramble on and on. Donahue also seemed to forget that Kevin Kline was there. He even called Michael ‘ Pallin’ not ‘ Palin’. 🤣

Gotta love the 80's fashion.

It's a strange format for a cast interview, a relic of a bygone era (before the Simpsons!). Still, great interview - Jaime is very cute, the lads are dashing.

Interesting case study, if nothing else. I think the right combination of British and Americans make a great team. I certainly enjoy the company of Americans - I like the enthusiasm. It makes me smile.

Talk about dead studio audiences. Donahue and the audience sucked so bad. This is the funniest movie!

He looks like Ravising Rick Rude... just saying... And Rick Rude looked like Freddy Mercury when he trimmed his hair.

dream team, i love this movie

That is the mullet of a true vulgarian.

Jamie Lee just totally DISSED him at 3:34 and Phil doesn't get it...wow

They had the tv on the stool for link. Haha amazing

lol that audience guy at 0:29 is seriously unimpressed

Who IS this guy, and why is he ruining this interview?!

Donahue said . . . . I watched your film and it was brilliant. I doubt he watched any of it.

Did they ever figure out what Phil Donahue's problem was?

Donahue always sucked!!! He was always so full of himself and the audience, judging by their enthusiasm(?), never knew any better....

They couldn’t find a bigger TV?

This entire cast from "A Fish Called Wanda" -- John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline and Michael Palin -- appear on the American talk show "Donahue." Great fun and hilarity ensues (but no silly walks). Enjoy this home-archived video from Thursday September 1, 1988.

Cathcart towers hotel hear the Heathrow airport.

I haven't seen Donahue since I was a kid. Boy, is he the epitome of a mediocre white man. He has four of the brightest, funniest, most intelligent people you'll ever meet and he drags them down into his banal little world. This is just awful.

Holy crap, how did Phil Donahue ever get (much less keep) a talk show? If this segment is any indication, he was utterly talentless.

Wow. Donahue was SO lame

@12:24 LMAO

I never realized as a young kid, how truly boring Donahue really was!!!!!

jlc is so pretty

I'm from Cleveland and am embarrassed that Phil Donahue is too

🙂

9:18 'Please don't show the whole movie'

Wasted on that audiance

I remember this interview way back when it originally aired in 1988. Jamie Lee Curtis is just embarrassing to watch, trying to be funny. Especially after the 12:20 mark when she's pretending to be bored by Cleese, leaning on him, pretending to be going to sleep. Cringe. Meanwhile, Cleese and Palin are bouncing jokes off of everyone and each other and being really witty and truly funny. Its as if they stepped foot off the Monty Python set only 10 minutes earlier as opposed to 15 years earlier.

Benny Hill considered funnier than Monty Python by two TV stations-- WOR and WLVI.

This was when Cleese was funny
