He's reputed to have been quite the ladies' man, and I can see why. Look at him... the interviewer is eating out of his hand! Look at the last few seconds!

Trash still sells. I love how he called out Sidney Sheldon, etc.

I wish more people in this world were like Harlan Ellison. Once he's gone, the world will be a much grimmer place.

I almost died laughing when he did his womans voice. I never would've guessed he could do such a high pitched voiced. Thank you for uploading this

@Moredread25 because he's petty....oh poor guy has to get called a science fiction writer......like he only wrote for outer limits among a million opther sci fio related things.........i think i really like him circa 1967, but find him to be a nudge here.

[posthumanhero]

how did such a hip dude become such a jerk?.......the interview u can find on here from around 1967 has him so full of wonder and hope for science fiction writing -- giving, down to earth, cool.......and by the 70s he started being this whiny complainer............just totally uncool.......did something happen to him?
