He's just as delightful in person. I once had the pleasure of serving him at a diner in North Carolina.

Billy Connolly is like a wizard and a kid at the same time--he's one of those people who can see the magic in the world around him wherever he is, which makes him a perfect host for this sort of show. Thank you for the uplifting upload. :)

I love how Billy enters each place and greets each person with the enthusiasm of a child. He exhibits love and affection for every instance.

Love this man❤. I'm glad the video shows Billy travelling ALONG Route 66 as it would take about 20 seconds to CROSS it.

7:37 Well that didn't age well...LOL

Great film, great music! Thanks Billie

Its hard seeing Billy with the beginnings of Parkinsons, his left arms the giveaway. I hate the bloody disease.

Tutti Frutti bit cracked me up.

Yo billy as an English man you have born my number 1 since I was a wee lad I’ve been trying to find the album with Celtic and Glasgow as long as they are shiting in our shoes an we are pissing know their bothrel football violence will never end! Fantastic billy at ya best if you don’t see this can anyone else please tell me what it’s called much love billy ps honestly hope Parkinson’s is a creaper not a runner as it’s not going to hit the road jack love ai billy since 14 I’m 51 now. You done more in a day than I have in lifetime I’m just glad you were there lolove paddy uk 🇬🇧

Classics never die

Agree with Billy -the architecture in Chicago is amazing - recommend the architecture tour

Mufflerman was made by my Dad Bill Swan at international fiberglass in the early 60’s he made the original mold along with many other iconic fiberglass statues

I wanted to drive that trip but decided NOT to do it alone. Must be nice to have the film crew alongside as 'security'. Greetings from Thailand.

Damn Billy you just had to go there.

The G.OA.T. my hero 🤩

I remember watching the Australian tour in 2009... stayed in my hearth

And now i cant get the image of Lincoln sitting on the bog with his top hat on whilst working on things of international importance out of my head

Fantastic a learning video as well.

Sorry Billy, I think you forgot the road that leads to Rome! 😁😁😁

He is on target with featuring the buildings of Chicago. Chicago had an 'opportunity' to rebuild everything after 1871, and some brilliant people did a whale of a job. O, and they have good music there, too.

I would think that Mr. Brown would be able to drive a buggy!

Just excellent

While enjoying and experiencing just about a cup full of "Americana" he, ironically, laments the loss of Americana. Dude. It is all there. Just like anywhere else in the world, if you visit airports and take high speed routes, you don't see too much culture. If you strap on a motorcycle and take your time..... it is all there.

Just goes to show ya how wrong someone can be. Lol

Re that school bus, there is a business selling burgers and other things in my hometown, Oldham, uk. That works from an old American school bus like that. Its called the old school bbq bus. Ive not been to it yet but hoping to soon.

That school bus, so reminds me of the film flashback with keither Sutherland & Dennis hopper, who's character Huey walker were on a similar bus, maybe it was based on the guy who drove this bus?

WTF I thought Billy was Dead Lmmfao 😂😅😆🤣

There is another connection over history- Scottish and Glasgwegians (sp) found fame and riches in America. I honestly don't know the connection, but Scotts found early America a place to blossom. Is it all legend?

what year was this filmed please let me know because he said the states would turn into a toilet bowl lol he saw the future lmao

Why is Gemini the Giant wearing scrubs?

Mr Connoly got more nerve than most people walking the streets of chicago (murder cap of the us)!!...i dont need to visit Chicago now as Billy did a fantastic job showing the city! Thumbs up sir!

A great and funny man

Didn't like billy Connolly very much until I saw this, but I must say, he's one of few ppl ive ever heard to say Abraham Lincoln was actually born in Kentucky. I think a lot of people forget that fact. His wife's childhood home is also in downtown Lexington

I really like Billy in America

I wonder how he is doing with his dementia. Billy is the absolute best.

Of course, It's not many people who will rip off Hitler in their campaign slogan (although his was "make Germany great again" obviously). That should have been a giant red flag. Connolly is really good at scarily accurate assessments. Might give Nostradamus a run for his money...
