Harry Anderson: The Tricks of His Trade 1996 

So many stars packed into this

Man, Harry Anderson and John Ritter in the same video. My heart is both super thrilled and pained.

He was such an incredible talent. You're sorely missed. RIP Mr. Anderson.

Glad to have found this. I still have my old VHS recording, and it isn't in great shape nowadays. This episode changed my life. I couldn't believe the juggling routine Davidson put on when I saw it. I stopped doing close up magic that moment, and began juggling. For years. Greatest time of my life.

R I P Harry you were one of the best and always will be in my book I loved watching you especially as Judge Harry Stone in Night Court

Thank you for this awesome video! I remember watching this back in the day, and his antics are still hilarious 30 years later...timeless comedy...thank you Mr. Anderson...you're one of the greats...long live the Gavel Cozy!

This is my favorite magic special ever. I was fortunate enough to meet Harry about a year before his passing. Such a nice guy

The sad part of this is not so much that Harry is gone, but that his art is fading due to tech. So happy that these moments were captured so he can live on to fascinate and inspire. Smooth Criminal!

Thank you for sharing this! I lost my recording from when it originally aired and I’ve been trying to find it online for about 15 years!

That juggler was amazing - the best I've ever seen! He'd make a great hackey sack partner!

Harry Anderson and John Ritter...may they both RIP

Thank you

I have not seen this in almost 25 years. There were only 3 things that I remembered from this special: *The Nickles-to-Dimes trick with the dollar bill *The trick flying dollar bill *The monkey ventriloquist puppet and its singing (especially with the burp before the final note.)

So great. I miss HARRY & Co. tremendously...

Finally, a decent juggler represents!

I just now found this. Ya know. Him and that carnival would have been a great character in some end of saturday morning show about a group of kids, i dunno. Dealing with outworldly stuff. And Harry just seems to always know stuff. And the evil forces are always able to get conned at that carnival and end up trapped there and become part of its staff. And can end each episode with Harry doing some trick for the viewers. Give some kind of morale quote to be a good person and don't do evil things. And then walk away behind the curtain.

His Cups & Balls was perfect. Not too long and easy to follow.

Did anyone else recognize the young lady from the audience? A very young Marcia Gay Harden. :)

17:34 Ah yes, I take the blur of reds, my good man.

he should’ve went on to do late night like Jay Leno or David Letterman…

@27:02 This guy's Juggling Skills is Over 9000!!!!

It seems like yesterday.id be in my room trying to sleep for school the next morning, my father would be watching night court and he would be laughing so loud. I miss both harry and my pops

Marcia, Wow she was really adorable!!! I cant help but wonder where she is in life now.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

We has real magician swag!!

RIP, Harry Anderson. It really surprised me that he was the first person of the main cast of Night Court to go. Before him, Selma and Florence, the first two female bailiffs passed away after their brief stints on the show. They were covered so well by their replacement that unless you saw those first 3 seasons, you wouldn't have known about that and presumed that Roz was there from the beginning. Truthfully, the Night Court cast wasn't fully in place until Season 4. The court clerk, defense attorney as well as the female bailiff were originally played by different actors. Now, this past year, Harry's been joined by Charles "Mack" Robinson and Markie Post. Those losses were VERY unexpected, too. It's a reminder that age and the grim reaper will catch up with all of us but it's sad to see the people who entertained us pass away so abruptly. The first time I felt this was when Deforest Kelley passed away in 1999. That's when I knew the original era of Star Trek was officially over. When you lose a vital component of the cast, you can't recreate that chemistry even if you recast a part with someone with very good or introduce a new player/character. It's never the same... Night Court was such a quirky show that was well-written for most of its run -- and it's a shame that it's not as well-remembered. I saw it in reruns constantly on A&E after NBC cancelled the show but it seemed to have faded into oblivion by the end of the 1990s.

I've seen Harry pull this same 'random' audience member from another crowd.

Woman kissing Harry reminds me a bit of girl in Ray Parkers Ghostbusters music video. Seeing Patrick Warburton (Joe from American Dad) was a blast.

Who's the babe at 1:25

Harry never seemed as tall as he was, but the cat was tall!

Damn, I miss Harry Anderson.

Sadly watching this just after Markie Post died in 2021

The Tick was in this.

Anderson's specials were good but could've done without the canned laughter.

Scripted and rehearsed, with respect

I love him, but his slight of hand wasnt that great. I personally saw most of his moves
