  • Pat Sajak still sucks

  • Werner was so talented. He could act in both dramas and comedies and he was an accomplished musician. RIP Werner.

  • He's ENGLISH?!

  • @hornymaneee No, he's German, but he emigrated to the US when he was young, so what you are hearing is a mixture of his accents.

  • @thebrentsharp *immigrated*

  • I KNOW NUTHINK

  • RIP Werner and especially BOB CRANE. I LOVE YOU!

  • I'm so glad this interview is on YouTube. Hogan's Heroes is one of my all-time favorite comedies. I've watched each episode countless times and will continue to watch it countless more times! RIP Colonel Klink.

  • I must admit I never watched Sajak's talk show, but after seeing this he would have been a much better replacement for Johnny Carson than the classless Leno!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Whoever dislikes this vid gets 30 days in the coooooler

  • who the fuck would dislike a vid like this, thumbs down does not mean download u idiots

  • The new monocle was a class gesture.

  • H was such a fine actor and apparently a really good guy.

  • I had not seen this interview before... what a terrific guy... I also remember him from Judgment at Nuremberg. He gave me many moments of laugh with his role as Col. Klink... thank you Mr. Klemperer

    

  • He played the part of Klink so well.

  • Classic

  • Werner Klemperer was such as great actor as I remember him from Hogan's Heroes, he was great in the way that he acted and he was very funny and charming. RIP Werner, he will be missed by many.

  • Klemperer was a real gentleman and a mentsch. I only wish he had been interviewed by someone other than Sajak.

  • It's weird not seeing him with a monocol

  • Three of the actors who portrayed Germans in Hogans Heros, fled Germany during the rise of the Nazi regime.

  • Mr. Klemperer is 100 percent class and I love Hogans' Heroes.

  • OMG! Poor Mr.Klemperer..he would have to go onto Mr.Sajeck's forgetable late night tv talk/variety show.

  • Mr. Klemplerer was a very inteligent and talanted man. Tho I never new him by all accounts was a very gracious and kind person. A true gentelman and the world is richer for his time on earth. RIP Her Klemperer.

  • A very classy gentleman...

  • GAG! Who would keep an episode of one of the worst fucking things ever made?

  • @CaptainSpalding72 I'm 100% sure this clip is actually a special feature on a Hogan's Heroes DVD.

  • "We're not Indian givers here"?!! Pat Sajak's remark at 6:07 wouldn't pass the censors today.

  • A VERY TALENTED MAN , NEVER BE ANOTHER COL. KLINK

  • Someone told me that they actually got the "monocle" from Germany!

    Werner always remembered this, because he was really honored by all the trouble they went to, to get it for him!

    Rumor - He was buried with the monocle along with other small belongings that meant a lot to him.

  • its john lock!

  • he went though alot of bad stuff in his early years fled Germany before all hell broke loose and he joined the US Army Special Services unit during ww2 great actor and a great man

  • IT no longer shows in arkansas

  • ...this was great! thanks for posting it! :-)

  • What a cool dude. 

  • I wonder if they modelled Mr Burns off Colonel Klink, i wish Hogans Heroes could have gone from 6 seasons to 60 seasons, through and after the war if necessary. It would have been great that at the end of the war Klink finaly got his promotion to General.

  • I wonder if they modelled Mr Burns off Colonel Klink, i wish Hogans Heroes could have gone from 6 seasons to 60 seasons, through and after the war if necessary.

  • I have always admired Werner Klemperer. I enjoyed watching him on TV and in movies and as an opera singer/conductor myself, getting to know his father Otto Klemperer's work as a conductor has been a very important part of my development. I was lucky to have had the opportunity of seeing my first opera, Strauss' "Ariadne auf Naxos," in a concert performance by the Philadelphia Orchestra, with none other than Werner Klemperer in the spoken role of the Majordomo. Needless to say, he stole the show.

  • Werner Klemperer was also a great symphony conductor besides playing Colonel Klink.

  • @Lalo3001 I thought it was his father who was the conductor

  • @CambotSOL You are correct - His father was Otto Klemperer, one of the greatest conductors of all time and a personal friend and assistant to the great composer Gustav Mahler

  • Colonel Klink on the Pat Sajak Show back in the day.

  • Pat Sajak did not smoke pot.

  • I miss them all.

  • I enjoyed him in Hogan Heroes very much. He's a great actor. May his soul rest in peace.  Thanks for sharing this video.

  • Thanks so much for posting this!! Hogan's Heroes is still in reruns in New Zealand but I had never seen him in anything else!

  • He was a gentleman. He agreed to play Col. Klink only if Klink would be a bumbling klutz who lost to Hogan all the time. He also had a very good supporting role as a Nazi in "Judgment at Nuremberg." There, he again showed Nazism as wicked but in a serious dramatic way.

  • RESPECT COLONEL KLINK!

  • he is just a god... tibute to him and the other actors.. is just love it =)

    R.I.P to all of them. Greetz =)

  • The one and only. Rest in peace.

  • so talented RIP absolute legend.

  • Rest in peace, Werner. Nobody can play Col. Klink the way he did. I hope they never make a modern movie of Hogan's Heroes like they did for Get Smart, because you just can't replace people like Werner Klemperer and John Banner. Rest in peace you awesome guys!

  • He looks so different without his monocle! He is truly talented. I miss him.

  • Homer Simpsons Guardian Angel may Rest in Reace.

    Ruhe in Frieden, Werner

  • I loved Hogan's Heroes when I was little, they showed reruns of it here in Norway in the 1990s and it was probably my favorite show as a kid! RIP Werner Klemperer

  • A concentration camp ? Come on Pat what a stupid statement do your research before u look like an idiot

  • A true gentleman, a great talent. It's hard to find such class acts in today's crop of actors.

  • Good Man  miss him

  • j'adore cette série ,merci werner Klemperer.

  • Most of the cast from Hogan's Heroes are dead now. But I was able to write to both Leon Askin (Gen. Burkhalter) and Larry Hovis (Carter) before their deaths. I received autographed pictures and nice letters from both of them. Both were class acts as I'm sure Werner Klemperer was too.

  • Such a great show and he played it so well

  • Anyone know the name of the black chick he married? She called him "Werner Perner"

  • Klink was sooooooooooo good in that role

    the great Werner Klemperer-----what a talent

  • Wow that looks nothing like Cornel. Klink which who Werner Kempler acts . Rest In Peace Mr. Kempler.

  • i remember the day my dad showed me this show in 2007 and im glad he did, it sucks now a days there no good shows like hogan's heros

  • Pat Sajak had a show? Besides Wheel of Fortune.

    We used to call Sajak & Vanna White

    "Fat Paycheck & Ultra Brite".

  • had sex with a Yak and isnt ashamed to admit it. The yak on the other hand was enbarassed and commited suicide after admitting doing the nasty with such a lower life form as babist. Babist kept the videotape... the nasty bastard.... still watches it....

    V

  • What's ironic is that Klemperer, a Jew, had to flee Germany. I understand that he was a U.S. Marine during WW II.

  • @mbabist01 Not a Marine, was in a US Army Entertainment Unit.

  • @rocketdude1979 Okay. Unfortunately, my source was Wiki, source of a lot of inaccuracies.

  • Terrific ...

  • It always bugged me how people get concentration camps and POW camps confused with eachother. I love that Klemperer set him straight on that.

  • 1:59 is the best part

  • If you want to see how great an actor this man was, find a copy of the movie "Get Eichmann!". Herr Klemperer played Eichmann. He was brilliant in that role.

  • Two classy guys there: Werner Klemperer and Pat Sajak. Thanks for posting!

  • he seems very cool, thanks col. klink

  • justin.tv/hogans_heroes

  • Pat Sajak's...."Indian Givers" quote.....lol wow .....it probably didn't even cause a stir back then, unlike today were he'd be on Larry King explaining why he used the term and that he is in fact not a racist lol......still any way you look at it ...its a lame quote...especially considering that Klemperer seems like such a classy type guy.

  • what an actor...he was so funny on Hogan's Heroes..lol..

  • I'm from germany and i love hogan'S hereos( in german ein käfig voller helden)

    one of the best tv shows

  • Thank you julenissn

  • Interesting interview. Mr. Klemperer was a classy gentleman, something one doesn't see a lot of nowadays.

  • Indian givers!! wow..

  • take note note fly by night reality show hacks, this is a REAL entertainer.

  • well, a lot of athletes have superstitions also.

  • that monocle is PIMP!

  • This interview was better then I expected. Down to earth guy.

  • What a great interview! He looks fantastic for around 70 years (1989 or 1990 here).

    "I'm slightly manic." he says. His father, the famous conductor, had bipolar disorder. I always wondered if Werner had it too, since it is hereditary.

  • All the guy's on this show Hogans Hero's were legends in their own time... amazing group.. Just Like the crew Of star trek.. Just incredable group....

  • @Dorisequador Werner Klemperer must have had fun satirizing Nazis for all those years.

  • Werner Kemperer was great! May he rest in peace. I can't believe that Pat Sajak used the term "Indian giver" at the end of the interview...sorry, but not appropriate.

  • is he still aive? not or?

  • no he died in 2000

  • @DamnStraightM35A2 oh that sad. i like him....

  • @StinkiwinkiPoo - he is from my neberhood in germany -köln- colongne - bad dath in new york !

  • cologne

  • wat du you meen ! my englich is not so good !!!

  • "we're not Indian givers"

    fucking LOL

  • I forgot that Pat Sajak had this show. I've always liked him!

    He's quick witted, very intelligent, has everything to do the job.

    What's he doing now?

  • @grandmagrumpy

    Uh...he's hosting "Wheel of Fortune."

  • Good. I'm glad he's still doing Wheel. I was afraid they may have changed MCs like they have done for so many game shows.

    Can't keep track, but then I don't watch them any more.

  • Thakns for uploading and showing this great actor and even greater character, my he rest in peace!

  • rip werner.. u bought joy in my childhood,, i couldnt wait to get home from school to watch hogans heroes.. those where the days i will always remember....

  • I love "Hogan´s Heroes" !!!!!!!

    (Or "Ein Käfig voller Helden", the german title of that show.)

    One the best, if not THE best, Comedy Shows i´ve ever seen!!!!!!!

    Greetings from Germany

  • he just turned 89...wow

  • He died on Dec. 6,2000!

  • rest in peace Mr Werner Klemplerer

  • @imperatorcaesar100

    Yes, he is dead, but the series "Hogan's Heroes" was and is cool :-)

    He died at year 2000. He was German ;-)

  • @alex180380 yes i am a fan of hogan's heroes I have every episode on dvd. it is a shame that they could not finish the show.

  • @imperatorcaesar100 So there was no final episode then - it just stopped as "Gilligan's Island" did? Pity they didn't make a movie for final closure as Gilligan did.

  • @imperatorcaesar100 Amen. You gave us much joy and good moments, Colonel.

  • Hogan's Heroes was the best. Now at our time here, in the year 2009 - only BULLSHIT is aired on/in (?) television.

    I miss him :[

  • @RipCurlRR me too =( , REST IN PEACE all ACTORS of HOGANS HEROES !!!

  • @RipCurlRR lol too right mate! the show was so insanely clever and funny, all of the characters were hilarious instead of these new shows where maybe 1 or 2 characters are funny or at least try to be.

    id love to see an interview with Banner/Schultz :)

  • @RipCurlRR lol

  • @RipCurlRR

    I hope since you made this comment you have seen the Universal airs FIVE shows in HD every friday, twice a day. My wife and I have been enjoying these episodes for months now with no repeates... Gorgeous widescreen HD.

  • @nicnacnic The Pat Sajak Show still airs? Where?!

  • @NESherv

    I will trust that wasn't sarcasm... Universal airs FIVE episodes of Hogan's Heroes in HD every friday, in the morning, then repeats the five in the afternoon. To this point, we have seen perhaps 100 different episodes, most in glorious HD...

  • @nicnacnic It wasn't, and thanks for answering honestly. I was wondering if The Pat Sajak Show still aired. Ah, well. Hogan's Heroes will suffice just fine! :-)

  • @RipCurlRR Get real. 

  • When was the episode aired?

  • Klink du bist neben Schulz der Beste in der Serie mehr davon diese neuen Serien kann man ja nimmer mit ansehen...I Like this Movie...

  • He is the son of Otto Klemperer, German musician, one of the greatest conductors.

  • Klink !!!! Oborscht Klink nichar....

    wilkomm´in meiner kleenen Kaschemme offn Schälchen Heeßen nichar...

  • great show to me leon askew gen burkhauter was so funny it hurts

  • Sadly, the era of great TV is over. Man, that stinks!! Hogan's Heroes, Bonanza, Little House, etc. most of today's TV shows are dark and evil. I however, do like Walker Texas Ranger and the Law&Order series. There's still good stuff, ya just gotta look for it.

  • Spoken like a true old man set in his ways.

  • Actually, I'm only 34, but as for being set in my ways T.V.-wise, you got that right!!! I thank God they still play some of the old stuff.

  • Good old Colonel Klink!  The world's silliest Nazi!

  • Dumb ass Sajak, doesn't know the difference between concentration camp and POW camp.

  • Herr Colonel passed away in 2000- this was a great post to "meet the man"; so thanks alot.

  • Who didn't love Colonel Klink?

    I don't know if Klemperer is still alive today, but he brought so many smiles into everyone's household when we were younger.

    What a great actor, and from this youtube post, you can see he was a gentleman too.

  • He's not. He's dead. He passed away about 9 years ago.

  • his greatness lives on in our hearts....thanks for the laughter...Tschüß

  • Thanks for posting this. Hogan's Heroes was one of my favorite shows. I still remember sitting on the living room floor watching it with my dad.

    I totally forgot about Pat Sajak having his own show for a brief time.

  • Hogan's Heroes ran from 1965-71, not 72.

    He looks exactly the same.

  • Klempener was the one who really made Hogan's Heroes successful. He was the most intelligent and talented of any of the cast members, but insisted that his character, Col. Wilhelm  Klink, be a buffoon who would always end up looking like an idiot in order to make the show a smash hit!

    One little known fact. After Bob Crane met with his tragic death, fellow Hogan's Heroes actor Robert Clary (Louie LeBeau) was a prime suspect. Klempener was the lawyer, and who served as Clary's defense.

  • they said clary was a suspect?!?!?! he would never have done it

  • HA HA, you are full of shit

  • I had always suspected Major Hochstetter and the gestapo being involved in Bob Crane's murder. They certainly had the motive being that he made them look like fools consistently when he was a prisoiner at LuftStalag 13.

  • Why sir, I do believe you are, in fact, retarded.

  • And you sir are an insolent phallus

  • LOL

  • Someone stole the monocle?!

  • You looking for this? [holds up monocle]

  • thanx for posting!! i am a big klemperer fan!!!

  • What year is this from (add in info section) ,

    and

    if anybody has the Conan O brien thing with Werner from 1994, post please.

  • Thanks for posting, I've been a fan of Werners since Judgment at Nuremburg. He played a small part but he was great.

  • Wow...who knew that Col Klink suffered from obsessive compulsive behavoir? I hope he found his original monocle before he died. The late great Mr Klemperer was such a gifted talent. Thanks a bunch for posting this very entertaining & informative clip! :)

  • klinker

  • Col. (Oberst) Klink Rulez! What a great Comedy Serie this is. Even in our times, today! Love it so much :-)

  • Werner got out of Germany because he was Jewish. John Banner and Robert Cleary lost family in concentration camps.

  • I love Colin Mochrie's impressions of Klink. And he's a man worth impersonating. He did a very good job in his role.

    This is actually an extra on the Season 2 DVD set--the only season with bonus features, sadly enough. Robert Clary and Sigrid Valdis even did audio commentaries for two of the episodes.

  • What a first class gentleman Warner Klemperer was. Made so many of us laugh. God rest his warm hearted soul.

  • Can anyone give me the video where he appears on Late Night with Conan o'Brien? All help appreciated :D

  • What a great guy!

  • Aw man. Someone stole Col. Klink's monocle.

    Did anyone ever to bother to pat down Richard Dawson?

  • LOL! I doubt Dawson's a pickpocket in real life. But then, you never know.

  • In which year this interview was filmed?

  • The Pat Sajak show was only on from January 1989 to April of 1990.

  • Werner comes across in this clip as an incredibly NICE GUY !! He has real charisma .. he's the kind of guy you'd love to be introduced to at a party .. to engage in discussion for some time .. and to attempt to develop an endearing friendship with. In this increasingly negative, declining, deteriorating modern-day world in which we are forced to survive these days, including the people in it - many, many people can take their lead in terms of their demeanor & their 'pleasantness', from him.

  • I can believe that someone stole his monacle. Maybe someone has it for sale on Ebay. Whoever stole that should be so ashamed of themselves.

  • "Seller is a scumbag. Would kick his ass again. F+++"

  • Sad truth is if he told a doctor that same story about how everything in his dressing room has to be the same and never changed, etc, the doctor would tell him "Oh, well you have autism then."

  • A style of television...WITH STYLE. Hogan's Heroes was indeed great TV. It was "escape-ism"! Fun, imaginative. Nothing on these days but depressing junk. Thank God that era was saved to be viewed over & over again.

  • very good

    best show of all time

  • I did not know that Pat Sajak had a talk show...

    Katalyzt

  • no one else did either

  • i agree that was VERY cool

  • that was so sweet. i love klink!

  • the show was what run from 1989 to 1990 the man would have been 69 years old or 70. Ten or so years before his death- it was a good show. .. .I think Banner was a refugee/ if I remember from the Nazis in WWII . .. .

  • What year was this?
