R.I.P. Mel Blanc. The world dearly misses you!

Mel Blanc will forever will be a legend in the cartoon world!

Thank you Mel Blanc, For making my childhood so Great..

Such a legend. His work is undisputed. This is such a gem

What a genius legend Mel Blanc was! He was at least 50% of the reason Looney Tunes was so damn good! I reckon they're the best short cartoon films ever made - to this day!

They didn't want to hire him at first. The only reason why he eventually got the job was because the producer who kept saying "No" died and the next guy finally asked him to do a few voices and was blown away by his incredible talent.

Letterrman was really lame in this interview considering he had the GOAT of voice actors on the show. I would have been excited like a little kid because I grew up with all these voices.

Mel was walking with a cane by this point, but he didn’t like to draw attention to it. That’s why he is already seated when Dave introduces him.

Ah, I'd guessed as much...Mel was tough enough to survive a horrible head-on automobile collision in 1961 at a notoriously bad LA intersection...and doubly fortunate that one of his body parts undamaged was his voice box (larynx). He had a triple skull fracture and both legs & pelvis broken -- he was in a coma for days.

73 years old..Mel Blanc is gone...but Thank God for the memories of great childhood

Mel was in a bad car accident in 1961 that left him in a coma. He was unresponsive when the doctors talked to him, trying to rouse him. One day, a doctor asked, “How are you feeling today, Bugs Bunny?” Mel answered, in Bugs’s voice, “Just fine, doc. How are you?” Mel credited Bugs Bunny with saving his life.

Many a Saturday morning growing up in the early 70's listening to Mel's voice. Excellent quality - thanks Don. [Classic line "Turned left at Albuquerque"; OT: "Rabbit Seasoning" is my favorite episode with Elmer, Bugs and Daffy (Mel did the latter two).]

Best voice over actor ever!

What a talent!

Mel blanc would have a special place in the mount rushmore of nostalgia.

Look at the BAGS under this man's eyes! He must have been in the studio for SO many hours every day!! WOW!

In my book, Mel is the king of voices! Mike Judge is a close second. ;~)

The man was a legend

Porky Pig belching after a big meal: 'Buh-bee, buh-bee, BURRRRRP!"

If I read correctly, Mel was allergic to carrots, but he spit the carrot out into a bucket after he chomped on one.

this interview was implemental to me imitating loony tunes characters well, I started to imitate mel blanc's natural voice first and then highing it lowing it, or roughing it. it ain't easy but it's doable.

Good good ..yuo voice...great talent ....impresionante 🇨🇷🇨🇷

The best ever!

I’m absolutely sure that you can trace the the entire semi-deviant “edgy wing” sense of humor of the boomer generation to Looney Tunes. From National Lampoon through Any Kaufmann, Second City and early SNL. It’s all there. Looney Tunes was “the Greatest Generation’s” gift to the hippies!

Someone on another video mentioned his thick vocal chords, but you can't get the characters that this man had without being exposed to the humans that he was exposed to! Every one of the voices are unique, and believable! He was indeed a national treasure (as someone mentioned on this thread)!

BUGS BUNNY VOICE❤

Those are huge eye bags like he didn't sleep in decades

Dave almost seems disinterested. . .Mel is one of the great members of the "show biz" world, and if I were in Dave's position on this night I know I would be much more excited about meeting and chatting with Mel. Dave asks the questions almost like he's being forced to do an interview he really doesn't want to do. I'm a Letterman fan, but he seems quite unimpressed with Mel, a man who had a very impressive career.

He plays Porkie sometimes but he doesn't want to be as famous as his dad was. Too big of shoes to fill.. imo. Read that up somewhere

if Mel would somehow be a guest in the LS (say in late 90s) Dave would have enjoyed it much more

Letterman could be very stiff with some of his guests. Mel Blanc was one of them, on this program, anyway.

Didn't Mel work with Spike Jones back in the day?
