Mr. T on David Letterman (Part I)

[dragonfurp]

why does he remind me of muhammad ali ?

[paulybown]

they are both acting its so obvious! mr T is a great guy

[SicilianGunner]

ooooo nuttin lol

[kpreston69]

Holey crap...I never seen this and it's depressing.

After hearing all the crap about the fights on the A-Team I can see why he seems so jacked but he really is being an ass to Letterman.

[HerecomestheCalavera]

What the fuck is he wearing????

[Aznar245]

Did Ray Charles dress him???

[Inediblehulk]

Pfft. Wrasslin' and celebrities on an international? Yeah, like THAT will ever work. I pity the fool who understimates the power of Hulkamania! CBS wishes they landed Saturday Night's Main Event.

[dave00dance]

MR T is Hilarious and what the heck is he wearing

[musigirl1986]

I want to pinch his cheeks. :) He reminds me of one of my bus kids.

[Zeeboe]

@musigirl1986 - I work on a school-bus too. Although he doesn't remind me of any of mine. Thank goodness. lol. I love Mr. T, but I wouldn't want to deal with an angry Mr. T every day.

[ctdtfiveoupNup]

Saw this as a young black man when it originally aired. funny then, funny now. But the wallet joke sets black men back to the stone age. A lot of people didn't get Letterman and his audience's support.

[ctdtfiveoupNup]

Saw this as a young black man when it originally aired. funny then,funny now. but it does set black men back to the stone age as Chris Rock might say.

[CnutRexAnglorum]

I heard there was friction between Mr T and George Peppard. So he's being a little disingenuous talking about respect.

[Zeeboe]

@CnutRexAnglorum - Maybe that was later on.

[TheFunnyCorp]

I was waiting for Dave to get his ass kicked the whole time

[ade2006]

God MR T is a F**king nob,,

[203544]

This made me laugh out loud lots!!!

[Joeri59]

only mr. T can wear that outfit and get away with it !!!! love the man !!!!! :))

[KaizokuShojo]

Letterman isn't much of a host, the Conan and Mr. T interview is more entertaining. (Though of course, Mr. T was himself on there, whereas here he's in wrestling-promotion-persona...­) Letterman and his audience are rather a pain here.

[mjbab73]

@KaizokuShojo Letterman isn't much of a host? Apparently you didn't/don't watch him much.

[wonietang123]

Mr T is the fucking bollocks. Badman for years

[vaspargbuza]

racist joke : take a look at his wallet?

[redblue734]

letterman is scared lol... I would be also though

[fishingboy11]

he does not seem very happy

[szita2000]

I like Mr. T, he is a character, but he is not intelligent. That's why he is just barely making a living today, where he could have been a millionare, if he would have some brain, not just the muscle.

[giannis4]

@szita2000 he doesnt have no money cause hes a decent man and not a sellout

[szita2000]

@giannis4 Mate there is a big difference between being able to sell yourself out, and not being able to say two intelligent word on national television. And he doesn't have money not because he is a decent man, but because he is thick.

[giannis4]

@szita2000 mate I sure hope ppl call you thick many times in your life until you eventually turn into one, if you havent already...

[szita2000]

@giannis4 And you say that who think Mr T is a Decent man, not a sellout... LOL!

[KaizokuShojo]

@szita2000  Dwight Schultz--Murdock on the A-Team--once said that Mr. T said, "Once this is all over I'll be making money from even my enemies--I'll have my face put on a dartboard." So that's quite a sense of business, if you ask me. XD But you don't _have_ to be absurdly rich to prove you have a brain. Look at people like Paris Hilton or Charlie Sheen, they have money, but their grey matter is conspicuously absent.

[szita2000]

@KaizokuShojo Put the money to the side an honestly answer my question. Do you think that Mr T has the brain?

There is no point arguing about it. if your answer yes, then you must be from the same education background as him. And I say it again. he is a character. but thick as an anvil.

[fleeper4]

MR T is my insparation in life

[colwilpro]

@fleeper4 NOT to be the best speller though?

[fleeper4]

@colwilpro SHUT UP FOO

MR.T's watching

[TheMindfreakCog]

I said I might tear this desk up lol

[doublemandala]

When I was a kid when he became famous (I was around 11 or 12) I was scared as fuck of Mr. T...

[roodsbrood]

Has anyone got the first time he came on the letterman show in 1982? Would be grateful...

[4kcss]

damn.. he's got a stick up his ass

[DrBrzzi]

I PITY THE 17 FOOLS WHO DISLIKED THIS VIDEO!!!

[vega1x]

@DrBrzzi make that 18 Foools

[xavierpaquin]

Mr.T takes himself seriously!

[ripralph09]

mr tv is the best

[Nanaman12345]

[jayocular]

[jayocular]

whoa! this is a more serious and mean side of mr t.!never seem him so serious outsde of acting.

[cpsims1972]

Mr.T dont clown around...mmm hmm...

[Supertron5000]

Wait a sec! He said he had no entourage but most stuff about Wrestlemania claims Mr. T had an entourage but security wouldn't let em in!

[Timurito1]

I pitty the 189800 fools who watched this video:)

[pippigladstone]

daves audience sucks

[robvollman]

"when he dozes off, take a look at his wallet."

[shakercoola]

He the man

[laosuwan]

this was back when letterman was still funny. he really puts t in his place with that you should be back home resting line.

[Chadzxx1]

Borrrrrrrrrrringgg

[pippigladstone]

@Chadzxx1 your life is boring and pathetic.

[xYouthAttackx]

damn mr T is the shit! MR T woulda kicked daves ass and everyone else in the audience

[bpmbrent]

i can't believe he was able to stay in character that well the entire interview. maybe he's just that hard haha

[DuckBrown]

somebody please find his first appearance on letterman, i used to have it on my dvr and it was hilarious

[Frankestein01nl]

Down to earh man, well done Mr T!

[macaroonlee]

why is he wearing a Wrestlemania tshirt inside out?

[mooglaman]

Summary of the interview:

-"my agent makes the deal, my accountant counts my money"

-"they used to really laugh, they don't laugh no more" Mr. T = Insta-Win!

[Adrianrulz]

Mr. T looks like he's about to knock out Dave

[Thad244]

hahahahahaha.wowowowowosw. luv it!!!!

[OfficialDeejayW]

Hahaha classic!! I love Dave and T!

[cxtreme69]

"funny hair" its not funny its the Night Elf Mohawk :D

[mrceebees14]

He is an American icon.

[g0rsk13g4n9st4]

I pity the 17 fools who watched this video.

[treyyorel]

Would Mr. T have made it in the movie the Expendables?

[giantman72]

I miss this guy. He helped children, taught responsibility (hard work) and love. He looked hard, but he loved even harder. Good man then and now. Mr. T was cool because he was original and unprovoked.

[MrQmason]

@giantman72 yeah, deep down inside Mr. T had a soft heart :)

[pinkgothcat]

@Iceman0685, I really dunno what that thing is but Mr. T said, "it used to be a parking meter" on SNL Hulk Hogan and Mr. T XD

[InvincibleCommando]

Total pwnage! Damn I wanna be like him...

[AfrikanGod1]

why is he so mad???

[dbreiden83080]

@AfrikanGod1

He's in character..

[AfrikanGod1]

@dbreiden83080 ooooohhh..ok

[EventuallyWeMerge]

@AfrikanGod1 He's not mad. He's real. There's a difference.

[pinkgothcat]

LOL@ 5:22-5:40 XD

[Mikak100]

does anyone know's of more rought interviews of mr.t like this one pls? :)

[RealDefentertainment]

@Mikak100 the one on the right>>> ON CONAN he seemed too hype like he was on Drugs

[veeseee128]

the way hes dressed, he looks gay.

[MikeJ0nes2000]

Mr. T...Real Nigga

[Iceman0685]

Is that a bat in Mr. T's hand or what that he is holding lol?

[Iceman0685]

Is that a bat in Mr. T's hand or what that he is holding lol?

[NisseEricsson]

David Letterman is such a prick. Mr T should kick his ass. And kick the audience´s ass too.

[jordan2921]

"Mr. T, I would like to ask you a question"

"Shut up Foo"

[McBain520]

Interesting how different Mr. T's persona was when he was a young man 25 years ago compared to today where he's an old man.  Yeah he could be loud in Rocky III and sometimes on A-Team, but his real presentation tended to be more muted, quiet, and VERY INTIMIDATING. Basically 80's GANGSTA. Today as an old guy Mr. T seems to play more of the public perecption of who he is, so he says "pity the fool" all the time and gets loud and jumps around. But back in the day, the man was ruthless.

[novembrine1]

@McBain520

Well I'd just say he's in way better mood today. It happens to a lot of ppl in their 50's..

[getodachoppa1]

Mr. T was doing a TON of publicity stuff for Vince McMahon leading up to Wrestlemania, and it's a fact he was very cranky and hard to deal at times because of this. Also he had to stay in character as a no nonsense tough guy who doesn't take any crap. Mr. T is normally cool as hell.

[aaronraglin605]

Wow that was mean that money made him alot nicer

[Enzigurator]

Letterman was being a bit of a douche too tbh...

[Odawg96]

It just dawned on me the guy from "last night" is Richard Belzer.

[lovelydiva06]

mr t is a cool guy but what the hell is he wearing, lol

[F22B1acKHe4r7]

he look like he bout ready to jab him in his shit

[dorodevil]

for a second i really thought the guy was actually pissed....til he started talking about training to face " profesional wrestlers" who knew all "the dirty tricks in the book"..!!! LOL

[blazeandcyrus]

god bless you T

[Vamphaery]

Lmao I miss these days. Back when even someone like T could work Letterman and make everyone believe they were truly pissed off and about to rip someone's arms off.

Why oh why did the fourth wall ever have to break? :(

[Robis2349]

What a fuckin loser Mr.T is. Likely the biggest poser of an actor that ever existed. Just about as phony a person as they come.

It's all a gimmick folks, this guy is a pure pansy, the tough guy shit is all an act. His career is obviously long over, and he's trying to exploit late night commercials to make chump change. Pathetic.

[numerical25]

@Robis2349 I agree with you except for the tough guy shit. lol. The man was the body guard for Joe Frazier. Joe Frazier felt safe with this man lol. He was making good money as a bodyguard which is how he got founded.

[PanayotiProductions]

@DLPBurke i pity u fool.

[DLPBurke]

@PanayotiProductions :P

[flybriur]

Wow, it's so funny to see how many of you don't realize that HE'S ACTING.

[natasscha1982]

Luv mr T

[NOSFERATUalu]

He didnt smile once. Not ONCE.

[Selenagomezbigfanguy]

Mr T is a tough guy with a heart of Gold.

[archi99ful]

@Selenagomezbigfanguy if u talk to Mr T. he would admit he has a sinful heart, that's why he gave his life to Christ.. he is threatening David Letterman in this video? that's not cool.. that's why Letterman made fun of him.. 

[RealDefentertainment]

I love his tough guy persona, You can tell that he didn`t wanna be there

[CoreyTylerPaige]

Mr.t was Mr. Pissed, I love it

[tchen10]

letterman is a sucka

[WatchMyAwesomeVideos]

Mr.T is cool & all but he sure acts like a bitch here

[sn40k]

What a legend! A truely awesome individual.

[Seldanas]

Imagine Mr.T vs Chuck Norris O_o

[lemmyliquor]

@Seldanas chuck norris bitch slapped both sidesof his head... and the hair never grew back.....! BWAAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

[gryphonofmight]

Mr T is awesome

[henry7515]

haha...mr t dont fuk around bwooy

[erikj1991]

Mr. T's middle name is actually "period."

[999manman]

I remember T's first Letterman appearance....he had Dave cowed!!! Back then he had that rubber ball, squeezing it and telling Dave that he wasn't in the mood of his stupid jokes.

[djfunkychicken]

Letterman has to get some nuts

[tamrinwilson1]

Mr t Ready to go to work look at what he got on.

[LaxPro93]

Mr. T is such a dowqn to earth guy

[89fenderplayer]

man , MR.T cant take it, hes very angry and tired.

[dontleademsomuch]

hes talking about richard belzer who broke his head

[IcemanCDF]

Wrasslin'

[schlibbe]

When Mr T goes black. He can come back!

[Bandaids4ever]

Now I happen to know for a fact that Mr T has a sense of humour. And a wonderful one at that. Something fishy is going on here. I think the man is in character. :D

[SamuraiFoochs]

Mr. T fucking owns.

[awyea]

Mr. T keeps it real

[xcolonel]

haha. he's so angry

[xcolonel]

wow he's so quiet compared to nowadays.

[HerpHusband]

Only Mr T could get away with that outfit.

[afroguy78]

hes always himself , thats sick

[IRONSEAN7]

T- is the man

[eamonnbowsie]

This is hillarious,old and just weird:-))

[DShadow911]

1985! this is so oldddddd!

[b1ackic3]

Mr T is cool as hell

[WordWizard1]

i love how he is sitting side on to dave, only looking at him every so often when it suits him, dave trying to lean over the desk to get more "T" face time :D

[Lordgeek4]

To even contemplate how many times Letterman was pitteid just now by Mr. t is beyond infinity.

[Sparkalos]

whoa

letterman looks so young

[JesusMFingChrist]

He used to bodyguard Muhammad Ali, and we can see he picked up a little something. He's like a bad-ass Muhammad Ali for the 80s.

[TavisCarr]

WAT THE HECK DOES Mr. T HAVE ON!? awkward

[Coughdrop1111]

I was going to say "Mr. T dresses how he likes." . . . then he walked out.

[regenjo]

weird clothing. even for the 80s

[thissitesuxxx]

@leongarza

sorry, but you have no clue about acting. Letterman isn't playing into that stuff! You can clearly see that he's not sure, if Mr. T is acting or not. At the end he really wants to know and even asks Mr. T if he has a problem with Dave!

[Pho2pac]

mr T says 3 words in 1

[leongarza]

pissed off is his Schtick, thats what he does and he is good at it, he creates the controversy and Letterman plays into that stuff, classic comedy

[thissitesuxxx]

staying in character is ok, but he could have been nicer to dave. i mean, dave didn't start the fight

[Pho2pac]

his MR T FOO !!! X(

[Sieberliebangbang]

omfg are you stupid? You must be white i am pretty sure about that.

[wannaknowit]

he does not seem to be angry at D.L at all.

He only has a good sense of humour I guess and this "mask" that he looks angry is just an act::-))))

I guess he is relaxed and calm here only he acts to be pissed off:-)))

[undisputed745]

legend

[bruno123331]

mr.t is cool.

[Warpedtank]

Mr. T is such a great dude :D

[Derby14]

Hogan and Piper have been critical of Mr. T's participation in Wrestlemania. I must say it really did seem like he took it very seriously. He knows exactly who his opponents are and puts them and the event over well. Props to Mr. T. He promoted the event well and he wrestled very well for a non-pro wreslter celebrity.

[SoulSpy123]

Actually an actor is as close as a "wrestler" as you can get.

After all its all acting.

[cvhf650]

mr t the shit

[cvhf650]

rassil mania

[mientememami]

That's a serious South Side Chicago accent he has. Also, his ability to stay in character is really impressive.

[flexillaable]

i love him

[lowmazda626]

Mr T. was 33 when this broadcast.

[rigelspikes]

Typical liberal, that phucking guy David Liberalman. He has no respect for ANYONE.

[biporio]

Does he ever leave the character? Maybe just smile? Or... blink?

[TheGreisomator]

And he's boxing too.

[TheGreisomator]

@ASCown

Mr. T isn't Wrestler he's the poor Guy who got to control them!!

[rammstein2001]

Mr T says a lot of right things, people. he`s the real deal

[fatmanontherun]

but who cares he is badass and rich.

[mithupskirt]

Hes just a fucking drop kick

[ASCowns]

LOL MR.T wrestling is fake!

[rosario508]

No entrance music for Mr. T? Did the band have the night off?

[hariseldon59]

Back in those days Paul and the band didn't play entrance music for each guest.

[Jude107c]

@rosario508 Are you kiddin'! Mr. T ate the fuckin' band as a late night snack!

[CssHDmonster]

mr.t: im a costar...

me:no,u a super mega pro ownage all costar whit goldz

[wonietang123]

Mr. T is a total badass. Shit, he's the original BADASS

[MrWorldbefree]

Don't fuck with MR.T

[mkeras]

theres no way he is serious because the wwe/wwf is complete BS

[Zatzzo]

is he acting?

[fisherlibermannutsc]

yes

[onlyjoetee]

Don't be fuckin with Mr T when he's not in the mood!!!

[jehophus]

MR. T is a better actor than I thought, he never breaks out of character. It is a lot like the shows with Brother Thedore.

[docbeepsjb]

When unfit, out-of-shape, lazy, overeating Americans mock those who really place their health, fitness and training as a priority, the [understated] sentiment can only be described as IRRITATING!

[0ff5PR1NG]

wtf is up with his clothes?
