  • i love this guys voice

  • thank you for listening to npr this is "a perverted homo companion" and i am vulgarison keilor

  • Why should owls have all the fun?

  • A fellow Leo..

  • Oh, so he endorsed Obama? Then i will never listen to this bastard again.

  • @concreteoutlaws McCain/Palin would have been better? lawl

  • @concreteoutlaws Way to let politics run your life, fool.

  • I may not agree with some of Gerrison Keillor's views but everyone is entitled to their opinion including him. In any case, I happen to think that the show is so much fun to listen to and when they start singing, it is like ear candy!

  • Well he is definitely not all things to all people.

  • Comment removed

  • I used to listen to this show every week. It was great. Then I finally got tired of the lame remarks about George W. Bush and the sheeple moonbats finding it just so funny. Garrison Keillor ought to try running the country some time. He is a jerk and a half.

  • This is not at all how I pictured him. I love it! He reminds me of an older version of Rainn Wilson from the Office.

  • I listen to it at work. Wonderful show.

  • This guy has one of the best singing voices for a male I've ever heard. Every goddamn time I listen to that show one of his songs ALWAYS gets me to tear up. I have heard on the show that he is going to retire and a young girl will replace him who can't sing! Say it isn't so!

  • can garrison keillor just talk forever?

  • Listening to the audiobook of Lake Wobegon was probably the fastest 6 hours of my life, flying from London to New York flew by...quite literally.

  • which state is he from??? he has a weird accent..... it's like he exagerates the "o"...

  • @Oktober4110

    Minnesota.

  • @Oktober4110

    he's from Anoka, Minnesota, but lived in NYC for awhile

  • @Oktober4110

    Garrison Keillor is from Minnnesota, and he's of Norwegian background.

  • Ive grown up with his voice in my house. Im always comforted by PHC cuz its nice to just listen to an old style radio show sometimes.

  • Will always love this man and his work. He has kept radio alive. What a true talent.

  • Michael moore said that he sometimes signs autographs as this guy

  • @sbevereid He is my great grandmothers cousin. She's not with us anymore, but her name was Flo Freeby, and her maiden name was Flo Arnold.

  • " W i f f "

  • Articulation...inflection...th­e voice, the best!

  • Comment removed

  • I guess I'm related to this guy, but I don't know how. My last name is Freeby, if anyone knows how to look up his family tree, please let me know. I'd be interested to find out.

  • a true and noble art.

  • 'Well, it's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon,' and the crowd goes bananas, as well they should. Garrison Keillor is the storyteller of our time. Toni Morrison is a very close 2nd, but this man is the definitive storyteller. Thanks to him for all the stories and memories. :)

  • Where all the women are stong, all the men are good looking and all the children are above avreage.

    What a star and a Legend.

  • I love Prairie Home Companion.I get to hear the shows on Sundays.

  • Home Prairie League is the best...and Garry is the best...

  • television is nothing but brainwashing

  • What a great man.

  • a really weird spooky looking guy probably an alien

  • i have fond memories of growing up listening to this as i watched my father cook. i knew that the sign off meant it was time to eat

  • I don't necessarily agree with Mr. Keillor's politics, but I can sit for hours and just listen to his commentaries and stories. His voice just puts you in a comfort zone and you can let your imagination go.

  • Great program. I listen to it here in Japan weekly and love the humor and music.

    Ron McFarland

    Tokyo, Japan

  • nice shoes ))))

    І want the same !

  • A legendary voice, and a legendary personality.

  • HA! The same archaic computer featured behind him is the same that i use...got a giggle out of that considering i'm a poor college freshman who can't afford a fancy one.

  • cool

  • The mans voice is awesome. God made up for his looks that way. However I know some women in there early 30's who think he is hot.

  • Yeah when you have Garrison Keillor's mind, you get laid point blank lol

  • ROFL

  • 2007 and the dudes still talking about e-mails... sounds like he's a little behind the curve... cleveland show ftw

  • @atfaTURK

    So why do you choose to keep living in Minnesota then?

  • @atfatw Dewd, that man is a legend. And he his so humble. I whis I could be like him.

  • I met him at their San Fransisco show, I thought my heart exploded.

  • This guy is awesome over radio. I'm not so sure he's going to go over as well on TV.

  • You've got Garrison Keillor, one of America's most thoughtful social commentators, in front of you and these are the two questions you ask: "Are you going to be on TV?" and "What do you do on the internet?"

    Stunning.

  • @afivenson Well, at least his answers were thoughtful.

  • what's going on at 2:00???

  • Thanks Garrison! I love radio and you're the only one who's doing it the way it was done long ago.

  • An amazing man :)

  • I too listen to A Prairie Home Companion and I to can invision the people the accent and i luv the music and the comedy as well

  • I love Garrison too....his show has brought me countless hours of happiness. =)

  • There IS something very special about radio format. TV just doesn't have it. On radio, you have to come up with your OWN pictures, that end up in your head, by your own creative imaging, that ALL people have, by nature. TV tells you what to think. Radio doesn't do that as much. I think radio shows are better than television, in that way. By the way, I am only 43, and I am not 102 yrs. old. Just my own observation, folks.

  • There are lots of Scaninavian-americans in the Mid west. Compared to Germany..

    Sweden is even more developed than Germany. I had my Civilian engineer examina at The Chalmer University in Gothenburgh considered being among top three within Computing- cellphone communication. Ericsson and NOKIA are linked to it.

  • G.K. is a true legend. If you appreciate excellent prose and witty comedy then hunt down previous broadcasts where he starts off with "It's been a quite week in Lake Wobegon my home town...out on the edge of the prairie" Sublime.

    Long may Google and You Tube bring this kind of genius to a wider audience.

  • turtle

  • I was born and raised in North Dakota. I wrote for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, in Minnesota, after I graduated from UND. I am a grateful hook up, every single Saturday night to the radio show, Prairie Home Companion. Check me out on youtube. MerryKenMusic. I am a singer/songwriter.

  • I love garrison. :D

  • google:Erős Cecilia emlékére

  • you are a queer flaming arab princess....you can't be a queer ass in your homeland, so you come to the land of queers, faggots, homo's and trannies.........minnesota....­...look at your new senator,hahahahahahahahaha....­......PISS OFF.

  • Judging from your way of express ypurself you dont seem to come from any of those SOPHISTICATED cities you bitch about. You rather seem to come from a racist mud hole in Alabama.

  • One man's mud hole is another man's ignorance.

  • i love listening to this show! have listenened for years. i could listen to Garrison talk about anything!

  • He didnt make in television, not because his socks don't come up high enough, but because he mumbles toward the ground instead of keeping eye contact with the interviewer.

  • never made it? He started the radio show 35 years ago which has since become an icon. Maybe he just wanted to be on a popular radio show all this time that he enjoys doing.

  • he has an awesome voice.

  • Love the show. Hate the movie.

  • Yeah, on my stationary bicycle.

  • I've also been listening for him for a while. This guy is extremely entertaining. All of you who said quote" Keillor is a bowl of soggy corn flakes and warm milk" and put downs like him you haven't been listening to him weekly.

  • ALGORE is the new HITLER...........GREEN is the new brown shirt of the GORESTAPO!

  • And you are an idiot!

    Amen brother

    KEEP BROWN!

  • really funny reply !!:)))) ... and true too

  • minnesota women look like ALGORE......but algore is alot slimmer and has no mustache or heavy facial hair.

  • I have travelled a year all over US and my opinion is that Minnesotan girls are among the most beautiful you have there. I saw mostly blue eyed blonds with lovely complexion. Your description fits women from my country Libya. I never found any Arabic women in Minnesota. You must tell me where this hidden Arabic population live.

  • yes, and they have plenty of room for tatoos all over their 250 pounds of fat.

  • Hi Gay lover4 ever Fat ass Americans I have seen in US but that was in Texas not in Minnesota. It was three years ago I travelled US and You see Im Arabian and most Arabians are Moslems but I have converted to Christianity, in my case Protestanic Christianity. This thanks to people from Iowa and Minnesota.

    I think there are enough Ass holes writing garbage stuff already here at Youtube. you dont have to increase those figures .

  • in this country iowa and minnesota and their people are considered stupid ignorant hicks and white trashbillies, backward and ugly, the food is not fit for a swine herd and the people look like livestock, sophisticated people live in the big cities , go fuck a camel ali blah blah, at least you wont be reproducing any more little carpets.

  • I dont understand why I am arguing with a fat as fucking American Gay lover loser like you.

    Apart from that you are a fucking little racist as well.

    Im not a carpet maker Im a Civilian-Engineer. Got my education in Germany. I have lived in France Italy, Germany and The netherlands and I can tell you Germany was the best most well educated most Sophisticated among those nations. Most Minnesotans have German Heritage.

  • In every country you have a rural area and you have cities. A city cant survive without a rural area but a rural area easily survive without a city

    Should every inhabitant in a country live in a city???You are more than really stupid

    Besides a quick search Minnesota hits No 5 in Finace in US among your 50 states. No 7 in Education.

    Lots of great Americans within Science, Movie, Politics, Music come from Minnesota.

  • minnesota women have a huge carbon footprint since they are built like COWS.....and BUFFALO, and they give off 3 tons of methane annually.

  • Garrison Keillor is a National Treasure, a genius, that keeps so many of us hopeful about the future and life in general. I have been a listener for so long that I can't remember when it all started. For fantasy, fun, or profit, I don't care, keep it going, And, God Bless!

  • Like the show.

  • Garrison Keillor has a face made for radio.

  • From a movie review of A Prairie Home Companion: "Catastrophically, [director Robert] Altman gives centre-stage prominence to Garrison Keillor... an amateur performance if ever there was one. Keillor has a face for radio, a body for radio, an existence for radio. On screen, he radiates anti-charisma. Keillor is always shambling and distracted: qualities which are never in the smallest degree interesting or endearing ... He delivers the lines as if he is talking in his sleep." Hah!

  • i've been listening to his show for years... this is the first time i've seen his face

  • I have been following his art for about a decade now, but I've never seen him live, much less on any pictures... I know it's odd, but this is the first time I saw him ... here on youtube. And he has the kind expression that matches his personality and his wits.

  • Keillor is a bowl of soggy corn flakes and warm milk.

  • Yet another thought... no matter what I think of Garry, if it weren't for his show the music I love wouldn't be on the radio.

  • Another thought, the music and some of the skits on his show I really love... it's just something... a gut feeling... about Keillor that makes me think he could really care less about it... it's all just show business and cash to him. Maybe I am wrong but he szeems to market and sell something I hold dear and true - and I do believe this rich, sated city showman is absolutely clueless as to the blue collar soul and spirit that made the music he sells. Why this bothers me - I don't know.

  • Garry Keillor waters down Appalachian and Celt music to sell to the city masses. He's a liberal who sells the music of traditionally very conservative, rural, blue collar Christian Americans - and city boy Gary does it all for the love of money. I love and play the music - but this guy is just a showman that has no link to it other than cash. I was a paratrooper and I am now a miner - in Appalachian country. I also drink and play trad folk and bluegrass. I guess that makes me a hillbilly.

  • I had the good fortune to see Keillor's show this weekend in Cincinnati. Just fantastic! The skits were funny and transitions seamless, the music touching and skillfully played.

    The most amazing aspect of this show though is longevity. Two hours of fresh material nearly EVERY WEEK FOR DECADES is unparalleled.

  • I swear that is dwight Shrute's uncle

  • OMG my dad and i listen to this every saturday and i have never noticed that hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFL

  • in this season of renewal, may the LITTLE BABY JESUS, the infant of prague grant garrison keillor, heaven on earth and in the hereafter, and a golden throat to match is golden heart, mind and spirit! amen.

  • minnesota women LOOK LIKE SASQUATCH, but not as sexy.

  • beep beep beep. chk out my prfile!! msg me!

    WOW her tits are reALLY nice! just like mine! Wz

  • on the radio you can't tell that he is the ugliest person in the world

  • In case you read this,Mr Keillor, I'd like you to know that a 40-year- old Londoner thinks your storytelling is something magnificent: life- affirming,funny and profound. And I was delighted by your support for the similarly gifted skinny black guy. You are two of my favourite Americans!

  • Ditto from a 21-year-old American. I didn't quite get it when my parents would listen to you on Sunday car trips, but I found your unique voice immensely comforting, then as now. And also, just like my neighbor across the puddle...OBAMA 08 :)

  • It's Mr Honda !!!

  • when garrison keillor sings, RNC protestors, hooligans and vandals rush to a Brooks Brothers Store for Men and get fitted for 3 piece suits, button down white shirts, black wingtips and pin dot navy blue ties. then repare to a the union league club for scotch highballs and prime rib, as they discuss the dow jones and S&P outlook. Later they join the mormon tabernacle choir in singing the star spangled banner in advance of john mccain's acceptance speech.

  • I listen to this at work... because I have no TV.

    It's entertaining, not so much amusing.

  • I like the radio show the best. You can see the live recordings on TV sometimes, but the radio lets you use your imagination while listening.

  • I agree. I saw his show live a few years ago, which was cool just for the experience, but I actually prefer the radio broadcast.

  • when garrison sings, DYKES ON BYKES are beguiled and seduced BY KIKES ON BIKES and convert to an all KOSHER lifestyle of bingeing on MOGEN DAVID AND MANISCHEVITZ with nova lox bagles and bialys, latkes n'sour cream and borscht i'm sure. then they weekend scramble to BERGDORF GOODMAN'S, SAKS 5TH AVE AND BLOOMIES, for jimmy choo and manolo's and coach all on final markdown. then pull an all niter listening to michael feinstein and linda eder singing the gerschwinn showtoonz songbook, SHALOM!

  • I actually love Garrison Keillor. But he definitely has a face for radio. lol

  • Its funny that the commentator asks that question because in a way its a show very similar to Prarie Home Companion known as the Red Green Show also Garrison Keillor said that comercial television had gone in a different directiona and it might of been possible a twenty years ago but not anymore well there was a show in the 90's also remotly similar to Prarie Home Home Improvement.

  • WHEN GARRISON SINGS, rachel maddow wants to climb onto rush limbaugh's lap and nuzzle his shoulder and nibble his ear.

  • i love this podcast!

  • For a writer, your comment is incomprehensible.

  • What are you talking about? It's real simple. After achieving success as a writer, and gathering an audience, don't go telling people to stop buying books. There are OTHER writers out there, you know. It's like Glenn Beck telling viewers to turn off their TVs for a year. Now that he's got the fat paycheck and made his money off TV, that's ridiculous...

  • I don't know which book you're referring to, but saying there is more to life than books means just that. It's a kind of funny, self-deprecating nudge at the reader of the author's own book. If you listen to Keillor's show, he is a big proponent of reading, and he still writes and teaches writing. Also, since you clearly aren't that familiar with him and didn't watch the video, he's famous for radio, not television.

  • Oh I get it, everything the "celebrity" does is good and positive, right? If the famous "celebrity" said it then it must be funny and just self-deprecating. Everything the "celebrity" says and does can be easily explained, as long as you allow yourself to turn into a celebrity whore. There's no point talking with celebrity ass-kissers like you who have been drinking the koolaid too long...

  • You talk about Garrison Keillor as if he were indistinguishable from Paris Hilton. He's well-known quite simply because he's a good writer and does a radio show that no one else does anymore. He's not a cult leader; I imagine it would be very hard to start a cult through public radio.

    His comment is funny because it's funny.

    I don't know any famous people and can therefore never kiss their ass.

  • Everything I have said about Keillor is true.

    And to illuminate you further, no one is well-known just because they are a good writer. People get "promoted" and "marketed." Even those with do-goody NPR personas like Keillor and Fulghum.

    Check out Keillor on youtube endorsing Obama and influencing your vote. What's that all about?

    It's only when you admit that you've been drinking the koolaid that you will see the light.... Keillor is just another "media star" abusing that big soap box.

  • There are several different reasons people get famous, talent is one of them.  Maybe that makes you feel inadequate but deal with it.

    I was a supporter of Obama before I saw Keillor's endorsement. Celebrity endorsements have different causes & varying degrees of efficacy.

    Based on your last comment, I'm going to assume you're being ridiculous on purpose to incite some kind of linguistic violence, so I'm just going to end this ridiculous debate with I'm right & you're wrong, so :-p

  • Are you suggesting that famous people are naturally "talented?"

    I'll keep that in mind next time I'm watching the Anna Nicole-Smith biography on E!

    I don't want to debate you either. You are a drone.

  • Could you present here the words he had written which tells people the things you accuse him of?

  • In the introduction to The Book of Guys, he lectures about how reading is a solitary and sedentary pastime, and how people should do other things blah blah blah.

  • I agree, he also sounds like a child molester!!! (Keillor's voice - It was a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, little Joey Johansonn came over to my house and I said to him, uh hi little boy, do you like some candy, yes candy its in my pocket, dont ya know its good for ya, go ahead take some from my pocket, ohhhhhhhh yeeees thats it, grab lots of it, deeper, a little to the left, OHHHHHHHHHH!"

    This guy is a FREAK!!!!!

  • Garrison Keillor, you are very original! Love your show!

  • Keillor was partially right about Wikipedia. What sucks about Wikipedia is that now in virtually any t.v. show, characters will suddenly start making references to obcure topics/subjects, where it's all too bloody evident that it was the writer pillaging Wikipedia.

    Wiki/google is turning out to be a bit of a writer's crutch.

  • He is hilarious I got his autograph last night after the performance at the cast party and sat next to fim he is really nice and funny. BTW I am so glad my cuz' alyson got 4th!

  • Most folq laugh at Dr. Garrie, not with the gentleman.

  • I started listening to his show 3 wks ago. I love it! I love his stories.

  • for the record, keillor's humor gave me smiles in times of great loss and pain. i love the show in all its forms, even tho his singing produces unnatural acts and enigmatic metaphysical paradoxical phenomenae. life would be sadder without him. the world of humor has lost rush and imus, we still have lewis black and garrison keillor, and we are grateful!

  • from good morning viet nam,,,,,,ITS JUST RADIO!

  • Baby-Huey Keillor is lethal from air, land, sea, I-pod, Blackberry, TV, and esp. Raaaadio.

    'Keillornomics is killing you and me'; mine will be "The Death Of An Angel" (Donald Woods and The Velaires)

  • when garrison keillor sings, RUSH LIMBAUGH and DON IMUS dream of broadway careers singing showtoonz from GYPSY and HELLO DOLLY,,,GEORGE BUSH dreams of speaking ENGLISH and ALAN GREENSPAN dreams of living in POLAND, working as a french maid.

  • I have found Dwight Schrute's father!

  • LOL... I was just thinking that same thing!

    I think he'd be perfect for the role not only for his looks but in his personality as well.

  • Garrison Keillor sounds like Bill Bixby but deeper.

  • Garrison stepped on my brother in laws foot in an elevator once. Small world.  Great story huh?

  • It's so weird to put a face to the voice after listening all these years. I pictured him so differently.

  • he looks like a frog... Cocaine is one hell of a drug...

  • What about HBO Garrison?!

  • garrison keillor is thee AMERICAN SASQUATCH,,,,,

  • Garrison Keillor is a great storyteller. I love Prairie Home Companion, especially the Guy Noir segments and the great music he has on the show.

  • i first listened to this show around Halloween and wished i got to it sooner. I have yet to miss an episode.

  • If you have to take time to explain a joke, the joke is already unfunny.

  • i don't get it.

  • ThanX!  I didn't know Prarie Home Comp. was on podcast! I just got it ---- Thanks Rocetboom!

  • Nice video!! but I wished the interview was longer.

  • this guy was a laugh riot during the 80's and 90's,,,,what fool told Lurch he should sing,,,,not that he can sing,,,,,now we got Melancholly Lurch, Boring El MUSHBO and a kinder gentler polite and thoughtful IMUS, its over,,,,replay those freiberg and newhart vinyls from the 60;s,,,,,,,,

  • the greatest show, in this world

  • Prairie Home Companion rocks!

  • Always a pleasure to see that the next generation appreciates this show and Garrison Keillor.

  • UKU

  • You need your appreciation for the radio arts spoonfed to you. If this guy is so boring then you tell me why his show are sold out practically everywhere they perform. This man has been on the radio long before you were ever thought of so give the man credit where credit is due.
