I think Billy Bob Thornton would play a good huell Howser LMAO

This will go down as one of the greatest moments on television history.

Huell is a master of the interviewing practice. In this video, everyone around him is giving him NOTHING, but he still manages to keep us all watching. What talent!

He shook that dude's hand for a full 30 seconds.

This is an amazing piece of television history. Straight out of a David Lynch film, but in real life.

"We got ostrich, buffalo... uh, everything that's on the menu." Love it!

Huell makes "California Gold" out of any situation. He's a master. "I'm a real general, not a fuck up." - Brilliant. One of the best quotes ever. Not to mention, "Burt Lancaster's never been here." I think I'll start randomly saying that. The big guy in the blue shirt is rad too. Thanks for the upload!

-Your a resident of Newberry Springs? -Im a resident of the world -Oh, wooow

Huell just gets up and walks away lol. You can tell for a sec Huell’s thinking “This guy’s nuts” then moves on. Was pretty slick about it

The long awkward handshake with the cook there was my favorite part.

It's gotta be when he has the one way conversation on the phone with the owner. "So Burt Lancaster has never been here.....you just bought the picture?" Classic.

i just love how long he holds the guy's hand while he's on the phone..

I'd like to hear more from the General!

Yep. Quiet until Huell brought his loud, obnoxious hillbilly ass there.

Just shut down all TV. We've reached the peak. RIP Huell.

! RIP HUELL HOWSER ! He will be truely missed ! I wouldnt be the Hood Historian if it wasnt for Huell . I've watched huell since about 1991 when i was in 4th grade growing up in long beach when he was on KCET . Thanks for making the shows and bringing places we drive right by everyday and couldnt care less about to life and showing us the value they once had or still have... I will miss you huell!

6:33 "The General is here" That's what they said when Huell entered heaven. RIP to my favorite man in television Huell Howser the King of California TV

1:58 "I didn't either, they just showed up..." LOLOLOL

The endless phone handhold/shake.

This is my favorite KZread video of all time.

Oh, only Huell could make a negative into a positive with such ease and grace. He had such a positive vibe!

Are you kidding?? I wish this video had no end.

"and i'm a real general, not a fuck up!" that's gold

this is almost surreal. poor Huell!

Huell was simply enjoyable. He had a habit of asking a question and not sticking around for full answer. One time a park ranger lit into him for doing that. Huell just took it and put it in the segment!!! Too funny!

@Luffy55555 I like how, upon hearing "I'm a resident of the world....." Huell suddenly realizes what he's dealing with with the "General". Then, later on (3:29) he totally ignores the General's instruction to read the guest book. Classic show.

The most awkward 8 minutes on the history of earth.

Thanks so much for posting this. Many nights visiting my Grandpa on Saturday nights we would always tune in KCET. Grandpa's gone and now a part of my relationship with him is gone. Huell now has the perfect view of California's Gold from his perch in heaven. God Bless Huell Howser's soul.

"Burt Lancaster's never been here." "They don't need to bring in the extras, they're already here! A-hah!"

My favorite line: 5:31 - "So you pull over on old route 66 off the 40 freeway and spend the morning in the Bagdad Cafe?" "Well, long enough to eat". I also like how the cook leans back as far away from Huell as possible.

Huell is awesome. He makes any topic seem interesting.

I realize just how special Huell was. I mean, with his build and personality, he could have pursued more lucrative and selfish means of employment, but instead he saw the American Dream in the nooks and crannies of Cali. 7:20-7:40: that laugh represents the joy he found in discovering CA and sharing it with us. Three generations of my family enjoyed his programs and will continue to relate to his enthusiasm for our home state. RIP Huell Howser!

RIP Huell. Thanks for the laughs and some sincerely interesting information.

I can't believe they showed this on TV!!

I had the privilege to meet Huell once when he was doing a story on some to-do in Redlands, California. Very warm and genuine. He was just as enthusiastic about everything as he was when he was on camera. I asked him about a story he did about the "Bridge to Nowhere" in San Gabriel Canyon. I had hiked the 4 1/2 miles to get there a few years before. I asked him if he had helicoptered in. He said "Oh, GOODness NO! We'all WALKED!" The way he said it was 100% Huell. You will never be forgotten.

Adam Carolla brings me here about once a year.

Absolutely Priceless!

a friend and I stopped in at the Bag Dad several years ago, on Our way out to visit his cousin in Needles Ca. I had the ostrich Burger and my friend had the buffalo burger. I met General Bob too. say,wheres "Terry" in this video? he was working the counter at the time. my friend asked him where they kept the ostriches, and Terry kidded with him and told him "Oh their out back" LOL. he was cool and a real character. Terry seemed to have psychic ability's also. after talking to the General for a few seconds, I was thinking to my self, that the general was [ umm how can I say this nicely?] "a little more Odd then Even"? and terry piped up that he "didn't like the things I was thinking about the General, that he was his friend and a regular" I was tripped out! Terry agreed to participate in a kind of impromptu psychic test. I drew figures on napkins and had terry concentrate on the back of each napkin as to which figures were on the front. He got 8 out of ten correct! I told him he has a true Gift, with these abilities. and that he was a very strong sender, and that I also had a gift of being a receiver, [the ability to pick up on people's emotions and sometimes but rarely thoughts ] I was shocked when I heard Mr Howser Had passed. he is sorely missed:(

“We got ostreech, buffalo..um…everything that’s on the menuuu..”

haha i like how huell shakes the one dudes hand for at least 25 seconds straight

This is truly the mother of all Huell clips!

I just can't believe this actually aired.

"The General" has to get his own show! LMAO!

This absolute gold. He totally dissed "Bob" @ 5:10...haha...I think "Bob" was the cajun guy in The Waterboy movie....hahaha

That was uncomfortable, but I loved it!

This is one of the greatest episodes Huell ever did, it makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. The whole Burt Lancaster thing is hililirous. The General is so great too. You can see Huell is a little afraid of him. And the truck driver "I like to eat here too" Too funny. I have loved watching California's Gold since I came across it back around 1998. Thank you Huell Howser for all the great memories, and for giving all of us so much information about our own backyard. RIP my good man!

This is straight GOLD

I've been looking for this on e forever. THanks so much for posting it!

Much Love For Andre And The Cafe, If You Don't Know Her ' Don't Judge Her, Spent much time there and LOVED every second of it. she would give you the shirt off her back for anyone in need and DID

You know when a video opens with a giant, growling man who looks like he is about to attack, it is going to be legendary!

Remember folks, this isn't Mississippi, this is California :) "Am I on TV ?" Classic !

Gotta love huell! lol He can spend an hour talking about a pebble and tell you how fascinating it is lol

"Ostrich, Buffalo.... everything that's on the menu."

"I'm a resident of the world....." Then Huell splits! HAHAHA!!!

Thanks Jon, yes all classic HH moments!

Carolla wasn't lying at all. that was tough to watch.

the guys says "read this (pointing to the guestbook) this man's 85 and this man's 82. Read what they're leaving to the world" and then Huell goes straight to reading the menu.

This is awesome, thanks Carolla!

'...The unexpected intrusion, the interesting locals, and the over-the-phone interview which finally provides an answer to his speculation about the significance of the painting on the wall !' So perfectly said! This is an absolutely hilarious video (one of the funniest I have ever seen) of a real favorite of mine Huell Howser. Thanx for sharing.

Loves me some Huell!

"WELL THAT'S OK WE LIKE IT QUIET! HUH HUH HUH!" 🤣😂 read the roooooom, guy.

That is classic! Thanks for posting.

Adam Carolla got a kick out of this guy. He joked about how Huell just showed up, with no notice, and he expected everyone to be glad to chat with him.

Forever missed. PBS, California, all of us won't be the same without you!

Huell is the man! No one powers through this kinda of journalistic chaos like this man. My eternal respects!

''Before you sign, READ!'' - Gen. Bob (still active)

omigosh this is absoloutly spectacular

i grew up there. It use to be called the sidewinder cafe. my mom actually use to work there. Pam and Tommy stopped by on their way to havisu, when they made the famous video. my brother was a dishwasher there when they stopped by. he got their autograph. He also said that tommy was a pretty cool guy and pam was acting like a beotch

I wonder if they serve Mangria there?

my friend and I stopped into the Bagdad Cafe on our way to Needles Ca, many years ago, met General Bob, he was a trip. wondering where their cook [ forget his name ] was in the vid? he was a cook at that time, very nice guy. I had the ostrich Burger ,he cooked it to order with his "secret ingredient" it smelt and tasted delicious. 😋he even sat in my seat at the counter and held it for me while I went to the restroom my friend had the Buffalo burger. loved this place 😀👍 Thanks Loved your ostrich burger" smelt and tasted Great!

gold. Thanks ace.

“We’re havin’ a ball out here!” 7:20 😂

For anyone who's seen "Cars", this town is probably what it was based on.

This one is so epic!

Well the guy didn't even know who Burt Lancaster was, so.

I am a huge fan of the movie " Cafe Bagdad" and always wanted to visit the actual cafe someday. Hopefully, it is still open until getting to visit!

this is awesome... and a small break of my heart. i love huell. thank god we can watch the failed interviews too. any more out there??? he still handles it with the simpleton charm that disarms. where the fuck does he come from?

Awesome. Thanks!

Rest In Peace Huell. We'll miss you buddy.

They serve ostrich omelette at the cafe?! Good enough reason for me to visit there from New York City! Huell still performed beautifully even in that weird situation. He seemed a bit uncomfortable and that added to his authenticity.

They really made you work Huell. I always wondered how many of your vids went like this. Very funny.

It's official, this place is now on my bucket list.

I have a Huell Howser map of california that shows every place he visited. Normal state map size with Huell Points. Little by little getting to them. Great Map and keepsake!

I love me some HUELL

25-second handshake starts at 1:49. LOL

Thumbs-up if you only know who this guy is because of Adam Carolla and Dana Gould. That's Amazing!

Huell is truly the Michael Scott of PBS... bring on the awkwardness!!

love it... now I'm going to have to include this cafe in my trek across the US trip! ... I want to meet the "General", think he has some interesting stories to tell...

holy shiiiit this is terribly good

Gotta watch this simulcast with the 12/5/18 episode of the Adam Carolla Podcast. Huell Howser, sub-par community access level programming with PBS funding.

I never thought I'd say this, but this clip is actually nuttier than Carolla made it out to be. Perhaps the first thing Adam has ever undersold.

Adam Corolla brought me here.

lol the ACE MAN always talks about this ep lol i saw this on ch 28 (KECT) back when it was first aired lol i was a kid watching this shit ..I LOVE IT !!!

They should do an independent film about huell Howser and the show and other things surrounding it and have Billy Bob Thornton play the part of huell and recreate this scene at some point in the movie that would be so awesome! LOL there would be scenes where he would just be showing up at places without calling ahead of time and just start interviewing people RFLMAO I'd watch that :-) rest in peace Mr Houser :-)

LOVE THIS - So FUNNY!!!

5:07 !! (clapping) I COME IN HERE ALL THE TIME I HAVE MY COFFEE BLAH BLAH........... -- Huell just ignores him! hahaaa!!

Caught him off guard on the phone... "Yea, I got the guns and duct tape... yea... yea... I borrowed my grandma's shovel, I told her it was for a garden... no... Huell isn't taping this..."

Keep em[ coming!

I lived in L.A. for 5 years and I ALWAYS enjoy Huell Howser - this video is simply WONDERFUL, Funny and it made me LAUGH more than once!!!
