One of my friends has a George Foreman grill and she loves it! I think it's interesting that George Foreman named all of his sons "George." Lol.

You never know what you are going to see and hear when you click on a youtube entry. Boy, was I ever glad I clicked on this one. I never laughed and enjoyed myself so much especially at 3:00 in the morning. George is funny, entertaining and his smile lights up a room.

He really reinvented his personality. I remember when he was fighting Ali, he said very little in public, and had a sort of reserved, dangerous demeanor. I don't know if that was his management advising him to appear like that, or if he just got more comfortable in the public eye later on, but you would have never expected him to be warm and funny like this early on...

@pkoven

i think the opposite is true, based upon what he said in other interviews. this was his real personality all along. his younger public persona was something he thought he had to do, and copied it from Sonny Liston. he basically returned to himself, showing his real self.

Right about that. He was also the greatest set-up man ever, especially with comedians who could take it and run with it like Rodney Dangerfield and Robin Williams.

Class act George, lovable decent human being with so much integrity. I have been a great admirer of Mr Foreman since he won gold in the 1968 summer Olympics, and have had 4 of his grills through the years. (different sizes) delicious turkey burgers indeed.

Carson: "The fellow you're fighting. Is he a good fighter"? Foreman: "I hope not"!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

George Foreman. Not just a boxer but a fellow human being that you would be honored to have over to your house for supper. George is a true American son.

Met Mr Foreman about 10 years ago. Nicest most genuine man or human that I have had the pleasure meeting. Spent maybe 30 minutes just talking about everything.

you gotta love Big George! period.

Johnny could interview anybody and make it entertaining.

One of the great humans.

Miss those days. Carson was one of a kind. George is the gentle humble giant. Always has been always will.

My first introduction to George Forman was in the 90’s when his grill hit the shelves. I had no idea he was a boxer. Then I saw an old clip of him just before a boxing match was about to begin, and he had the meanest and scariest face I had ever seen. That guy was a monster in the ring, but a complete gentleman outside.

I loved Johnny and George too! I always knew Foreman was tough, but always thought he was just a big, dumb boxer, Boy was I wrong!! George is a very intelligent man, who has a very sharp wit. If he ever decided to become a comedian he would get lots of laughs. I mean, who's going to tell him he's not funny?

This is not the George Forman of old. He was young and full of vinegar then. Now he is a gracious,intelligent and classy gentleman.

When he was talking about eye contact and that he hoped Joe Frazier wouldn't look down or he would see his knees shaking, that was something he didn't have to worry about. Frazier was a man's man. He would stare a hole in you.

"Now, is he a good fighter?" "I hope not" 🤣🤣🤣

When We Were Kings was one of the best documentaries ever made, and it was hands down the best boxing movie ever made. George came off as the bad guy in that film, but there was a huge opportunity for a sequel...and since it was a documentary, the sequel was life. George Foreman went on to lead a life that earned the respect of millions of people around the world. Muhammed Ali was close to God, as was George. They will be a match made in heaven, and Johnny can interview both of them.

Muhammad Ali was not close to God! He was a Muslim and Muslims are told in the book of Koran to kill all Christians ✝️!!! Muhammad Ali was born Cassius Clay. Then he very foolishly turned into a Muslim and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. Remember that MUSLIMS ARE NOT CHRISTIANS! THEY ARE TOLD IN THE BOOK OF KORAN TO KILL ALL CHRISTIANS ✝️! The only way that Muhammad Ali could have gone to Heaven after he died would have been for him to get saved before he died. There's no such thing as Purgatory.

George Edward Foreman (Texas, 10 de enero de 1949) es un exboxeador estadounidense, dos veces campeón del mundo en la categoría peso pesado. Apodado Big George se convirtió en un exitoso hombre de negocios y un reputado reverendo de su propia iglesia. La International Boxing Research Organization (IBRO) lo ha clasificado entre los 10 mejores pesos pesados de la historia.

Foreman and Carson. 2 great humans. Celebrities aren't like that anymore.

George and Joe Frazier have more class than 90%, or more, of anyone I've ever met, in or out of the ring. God bless them both, and if using "God" offends someone, bite off, then go tell George....
