Billy Crystal now acting his age
Seems that comedian Billy Crystal has always enjoyed playing old, like in 1987's "The Princess Bride." Actually getting old? Not so much. But it will be less of a stretch for the now-73-year-old to play an aging comic in the upcoming Broadway musical, "Mr. Saturday Night." Correspondent Tracy Smith finds out how Crystal stays so youthful.

Totally agree with him. I’m 57 now and I live my life. I don’t feel as those I have to figure out my life or do things because of what others think should be done. I love this age. I actually feel sorry for the young people.

I asked myself the other day, would I like to be younger? I'm 59. No way I LOVE all the decades I went thru: disco, Barry Manalow, Elton John, Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart...ditto jeans, platform shoes...all so back in style.
Have loved him since my teens. He always bring a smile and joy to my life and countless others. My favorite movie is when Harry met Sally.His attitude is inspirational and encouraging as I’m in my mid fifties now! Keep going Billy😍

WHMS was the last great romcom. From Pretty Woman onwards they are paint by numbers cliches appealing to the silliest (and sometimes highly suspect) Cinderella fantasies of teenage girls.
Muhammad Ali and Robin Williams considered him a great friend. This man is 😎 and doesn't let anything go to his head. Hope you live to 120 Billy. The world is a better place with you in it.

Billy always had such great fond memories, with those guys. Legendary people that are forever missed by us, including him. He even stirred up a great speech at Ali's funeral, too.
He can always bring a smile to my face.
Nothing but love and respect for Billy Crystal .... Everything he has done is enjoyable and if i lived in nyc i would be going to see his Broadway play as well
The best Oscars host ever. So much talent!
He's been one of my favorite comedians ever since I saw him in Soap back in the mid 70s. He has only gotten better.
Love him love him love him. He's made me laugh all my well almost all my life I'm also almost 73. Thank you 💓 Mr Crystal 😙
We are blessed that Billy is Billy and has a zest for life which brings us his talent, heart, and his unbelievable spirit. Truly blessed.

i loved City Slickers my fave of all time, he was so fun to watch as a kid in the 80s and 90s
Billy Crystal is an all time legend and a National Treasure. Whenever I see him interviewed, it's like getting a visit from an old relative. Love to see that he's still performing.
He is a National Treasure in every since of the word!!❤️
Love this man. Could give craps about "celebrities," but I adore Billy
Billy Crystal. The Best Oscar Host Ever. I Hope He Will In 2022.
My favorite entertainer by far.
Crystal has a zest for life, at every stage and everything he does. We should all be so lucky to have that attitude.

He is still so humble 😊 You make us laugh & smile Mr. Crystal 💙 A Class Act
Running scared with Gregory Hines was awesome. Always loved crystal.
Always my favorite comedic actor. Hes hilarious!
LOVE this man! What a gift he is!
I like it that the guy lives in a mansion and he is throwing a ball against the wall like I did when i was an 8 year old kid living in an appartment building in Queens
I'm convinced it's the attitude about aging. If you think you're done, you're done! But if you are still learning, excited about life and taking care of yourself (as he says) the outcome is far better.

I agree. When I finally did everything on my bucket list, I became a bit scared. Almost 70 and nothing left to do. So, late one night I sat right up and started writing a new bucket list. I’m going to have to close my office so I can finish it. I’m thinking it’ll take 25-30 years. When my grandchildren get summer breaks, they’ll go too. Hmm, #1, trade my tent in fir a used motor home? #2, teach my grandson how to . . . drive? So I can take pics while we go through the country. Hmm.
Always was and still is a very cute person. Wishing you 100+ Billy!
There is nothing I do not love about Billy Crystal ❤️
He still looks marvelous!
I was 10 years old when i watched you in the Princess Bride and I have been one of your biggest fans ever since - I LOVE YOU BILLY!!!
Omg he is amazing in me Saturday night !! Love this man !!❤
Inspiring attitude! My favorite!
Treasure… contribution to humanity’s wellbeing is immeasurable… thank you Mr. Crystal… best wishes, health, joy and wellbeing 🥂
One of my favorite comics!
What a classy guy. Still full of life and smiles. I hope he pulls another George Burns and lives to 100.
One of the best talents and old-school comics.
Mahhhvelous comedic actor.
I love you Billy Crystal.
I love love love Billy Crystal!
No matter how Billy Crystal speaks and such in his movies and on television, I always envision "Mike Wasowski" speaking.
He is so likable!
Happy 75th Birthday, Billy. And somebody's gotta say it, so I will: You look mahvelous.
ROCK ON BILLY! Love ya man!
He is wonderful ! I miss good comedy !
Great actor right there.
I wish he was young again. What an effect on life he has had.
He looks GREAT!
Billy has that Moon Ball Love!
You look Marvelous Dolling🌹🌹🌹
thanks for everything, dude; cant' wait for season two
Love him!
Billy is a genius
Love this show
A a extremely intelligent and clever comedian, a legend already, a great dinner quest to invite
This man is still sharp
you look MAHHVELOUS!
I have many favorite from Billy Crystal, but 700 Sundays really stood out. Check it out! When Harry Met Sally, too!
I don’t have the exact quote, but Andy Rooney said, I didn’t plan on getting old, but it happened, and it’ll happen to you too, if you’re lucky. I’ve always remembered this, thank you Mr Rooney.
One of the few Hollywood stars that is a regular guy. No 4 marriages. No rehab. No sex scandal. Refreshing.
Sharp as a tack! Envious and I'm 50's. 💜💜
Good Show, Bill. LLAP.
Glad to see him doing well...... Much Respect
Love him! I’m 48, so I grew up on his movies. But when I see him, I always think of the music video “Sweet Freedom”.
class individual - makes me happy always
Never leave us♥️
Billy Crystal from the moment I saw you on Soap 🧼 I knew were a Very Loving Man and Always Treated Everyone as Equal! And Jerry Lewis was Great but Not Always Nice !
One of my favorite comedians/actor - looks well for 73. For some age is just a number,Crystal right it does depend on how you lived ( health,excercise,nutrition, mental health)so far.
Love that man!
Ill always remember him as mike wazowski lol memories fav disney movie
Back when I liked the Oscars. Thanks Billy for making me laugh 😃
Legendary
Catching up on these...they're great, and the perfect length for KZread. Consider doing one with Da Crafsman, but he won't go on camera.
My favorite thing about Billy Crystal has nothing to do with comedy. When he produced (he might have directed and wrote it) "61" you could tell from the beginning to the end of that movie it was made by someone that truly loves a professional baseball team and the players that represented it.
Wow He's 73 going to be 74 in March 2022!!
He looks marvelous. 60M helps.
The one and only
Billy, I'm right there with you and the eggplant parm sub!😂 Congrats on the Kennedy Center Honor, it's about time. You're the Best Baby!😢 Keep'm laugh'n...
I loved the "Mr. Saturday Night" movie even though it's arguably not a that great a movie. It had the potential to be great, but didn't quite make it. I hope the stage version will give it another chance. It deserves it.

Hey Billy ..."Youuuu look MAUV-AH-LOUS"!!
Why are there no Closed Captions on these CBS videos?????????????
Billy looks younger than Jane Pauley...and she's 71.
His hairline magically creeped back up to middle of his head.
0:58 Great comeback from Jerry. Billy loses it ---lucky for him the camera is behind his back.
I heard he made sure Bruno Kirby never got a good role in his life after City Slickers. Now, Bruno Kirby's dead. No need to worry about that anymore, Billy Crystal!
He's therapy.
73 is old? Somebody should have warned me! Jeeesh…
Paul Maholm.
Tracy Smith at :22 in those stretch pants makes my pockets tight. Cleaning the pipes keeps me young. That fossil Jane Pauley can get it also.
Growing old is what happens if you are lucky. After all, consider the alternative.
Damn lakers shoulda picked him up, too bad he's a clips fan
Wish she asked him about Williams.
2:50 Saw him on Kimmel. Dude either got a late in life hair transplant or he's sporting a wig
Who doesn’t like this guy?
Too bad too many parts of this country, this first world country, lack sidewalks and public spaces to encourage exercise without having to pay for it, without having to pay for gym.
Tracy Smith is smoking hot
the movie was a bomb he will be doing 7 shows a night for 2 weeks...then it closes and then stuttering john will be asking him if there will be a mr saturday night two
