Ed O'Neill Thought 'Married With Children' Would Be Cancelled Every Season 

Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.

This guy is responsible for one of the most beautiful sounds in the world.... the laughter of my parents

Peg: Hi honey, did you miss me? Al: With every bullet so far. 😂

she needs to let him speak, she interrupts too much

Man Kelly should let her guest finish their sentences before interrupting them!

His appearance in Miami Vice is extremely underrated, he's such a great actor

Living legend, Mr. Ed O'Neil!

That was a great interview. As a casual fan I didn't know ANY of those stories!

Married with children was ahead of its time.. this man is a legend..

Ed O'Neil is such an underrated actor, any chance I get to quote Al Bundy is something I jump at! Ed O'Neil truly is a legend!!

Looks like Kelly doesn’t know what to say lmao. She is such a fan of his. It’s so cute I love her.

If anyone has not seen Ed in the movie "Dutch" you are missing out.

Dan Lauria (The Wonder Years) told a great story about Ed's early years on Broadway. In the late 1970s, Ed was serving as an understudy in a boxing drama called Knockout. His role was as the villain. Early in the show's run, the lead actor dropped out, and Ed stepped in for what would be his Broadway debut. He thought he delivered a great performance, but when it came time for the curtain call, Ed came out to a chorus of boos from the audience. He was stunned until he realized what the booing was about. Ed took off one of his gloves, kissed his fist, and threw the kiss out at the audience. At that moment, he got the loudest ovation of the night. The booing was a sign of how great he had played the villain in the show. Dan later said that Knockout got mixed to negative reviews, but if you looked at even the negative reviews, all of them would say that the one standout of Knockout was Ed O'Neill.

I miss when back in the day people weren’t so dam sensitive. Married With Children CLASSIC

That’s amazing that he went to school with Jim Cummings! He is incredible ❤

Skinny Kelly is really annoying she won't stop interrupting her guests they can't finsh a sentence.

Let Ed finish his sentence!

You'll never see another show like this ever again! A straight classic!

One of THE most underrated actors. I love his comedy, but I also wish his dramatic roles had received more recognition.

He’s amazing!

Boy, can she screw up an interview. She asks a question and won’t let him get a word in edgewise…holy cringe

Love Ed❤

Every question is a statement followed by a "yeah?", and then she interrupts Ed when he replies. Such a bad interviewer... >:(

MWC is my favorite tv series

Kelly looking amazing

O - H - I - O !!! Go Buckeyes!!!

Love Ed! Talking about distractions damn Kelly is looking amazing lately, those legs!!! Great interview!

Al Bundy: Let's Cook (cue George Thorogood and the Destroyers)

He is just so nice

The host should shut up and let the guest talk. Watch some old Johnny Carson episodes. You must be insecure.

They should’ve fired the guy who said to fire ed as Al.

Damn Kelly,you’re worst than Vlad with all the talk back .

One of my all time favorite shows growing up even though i knew it was inappropriate for my age. Lol

Kelly Clarkson's been hitting that Ozempic pretty hard. She looks good though.

Married With Children is one of my all-time favorites!

That guy scored four frickin touchdowns!

no ma'am 🚫🚺🚫

I love Ed O'Neill for his acting but more so for who he is. A great man who has and still to this day gives me great laughs from watching Married with Children re-runs! I can't wait to see 'Clipped' so I can see this story of Donald Sterling's ownership of the Clippers.

The shoe store with all the big ladies needing a size 7 😂😂😂😂😂 so funny they know they’re a size 11

Kelley, let the man finish his sentence.

Kelly is so damn fake and she needs to just shut up and let him speak

Clarkson is just like the SNL parody of the over energy Sherry O'terry. Fake, overdone, agree with everything character.

'Peg. You make every organ in my body shrivel up' - Al Bundy

Married with Children is the best comedy series in my opinion and Al Bundy has become a legend. Ed O'Neill should get a special place for portraying the character he played in that series. It certainly has a special place with a lot of people who watched Married with Children, as it does with me.

I played high school football 🏈 Scored 4 touchdowns in one game 😅

I loved this interview! Amazing interview!

Geez, let the guest speak and finish a sentence before switching subjects 🤦🏽‍♂️

This woman whoever she is, is a terrible interviewer and annoying. She should let the star actually speak without interrupting and interjecting herself with “yeah, yeah, yeah” every 2 seconds

Kelly's got some nice stems goin on.

Clarkson interrupts him before he can answer. Kelly Shut Up !

There are a lot of kids like that. They would rather just go out and play. And I think honestly there is nothing wrong with that. More kids should be out playing rather than sitting in school for a third of their young lives.

Legend….Ive literally been a fan my entire life!

Kelly looking amazing ❤❤❤

Just want to give him flowers 💐 thanks for all he laughs and movies. 🤴🏻

Ed O'Neil absolute legend 🙌

Forever a starving Shoes Saleman still clinging to the glory days

Al: tell them about the legend of Al Bundy, tell them about O.C.D. ONE COOL DUDE. --Crowds roar.

kelly needs to do her research before ppl come on her show

Ed O'Neal was and absolutely genius in married with children

Ed is awesome, but she's so ANNOYING

I will weep for days when he is gone from this world.

Ed as he has gotten older, has become more open. In the days of Married... With Children he was very private. As a result he has dozens of untold celebrity stories ranging from Chris Farley to Al Pacino. This is truly an iconic time for Ed.

Kelly’s nervous. I don’t blame her! Legend 🙌🏼

This man is an Icon. An American Treasure! In my opinion, Al Bundy is the greatest sitcom dad ever!

3;50 the teacher had a nervous breakdown,....in 1970. Can you imagine being an inner city teacher TODAY???! She thought she needed a gurney THEN. .....

Fun fact: Sam Kinison was the first choice to play Al Bundy and Roseanne Barr was the first choice to play Peggy.

The greatest show of all time

To this day, I'm still shocked that Al Bundy didn't two-piece his guardian angel (Sam Kinison) for pinching Peg's butt. The way that he wagged his finger at Sam after that pinch, you'd have guessed he was about to at least tell him off. Then, low and behold, he says, "Wait a minute" after soaking in what had transpired during this "What if" alternate reality. The way that Ed O'Neill paused with that finger while waiting for the studio audience to calm down after the butt pinch, really built up the suspense of what Al was going to say.

I'm writing that Ed O' Neill says that there are 265 episodes of Married With Children when in fact there are 259 episodes of Married With Children.

His movie Dutch is a good movie

Proud member of No Ma'am club

Wow.. they were told not to hire Al. I couldn't think of anyone who could play AL better!!

A shout out to THE Jim Cummings? Cool tidbit! 2:40

TV Legend 😎🙌

Ed O'Neil for Prez 🎉🎉🎉🎉

As a child, I didn't really understand why I found married with children so compelling, but looking back it was obviously just O'Neill.

She is soooo fake

I didn't get to enjoy him in the 80s for married with children but I got to enjoy him for modern family 😊

Love how he just easy slip into Al Bundy just for a sec when talking about his uncle 😅

9:17 No, that was not the episode, Kelly. It's obvious she never saw Married with children!

I always loved his Michael Jackson story, and his Brittany Spears story! Ed tells great stories!!

Ohio in the building ! So much talent here.

Same hate travel takes weeks to get back to myself

It's wild to see these actors in real life; btw Bud (David Faustino) is friggin 50 now!

So amazing how Kelly has grown in her craft, remember she was a waitress who could really sing.

Ed looks great for 78!

Yet, Married With Children became the Fox Network's benchmark for programming for the next 20 years.

Legend ❤

You couldn't make Married With Children today. That's the problem with today's society. So many are so overly sensitive about so much now.

I came here to listen to Ed, not Kelly!

He’ll always be Al bundy to me.

Al: I love that Dodge more than anything in this room Bud: Dad what about us Al : You need a Q-Tip😂😂😂

Kelly Clarkson is back to her weight from her Idol days...wow...she looks 21

My favorite quote from Married with Children: "Does this dress make me look fat?" Al: "it's not the dress that make you look fat, it's the Fat that make you look fat." Lol. Classic.

if they would be the same age now as back then and started the show in the recent years.... then it would have most definitely gotten cancelled along with other great shows from back then....I'm nearly 30 and back then was peak comedy and good TV.... up to 2010 MAX it starts a good decline.....

My wife bully me because I have a huge crush on Kelly, it stopped when she got a little heavy...so now is back harassing me 😅 , wonder why....

I imagine Ed as a boy like the episode where it shows him as a boy sassing the librarian, called "I thought I could". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0TMoUAQQlL8.htmlsi=lofiajjPySZUckvK&t=116

Kelly Clarkson doesn’t seem like a very good interviewer. Her flow just seems off, the responses seems fake, just doesn’t come off very well.

I'm loving all the flowers in the background with what looks like an old speaker awesome 😊😊😊

What about Designing Women?
