al pacino, as most people know, was the original actor hired for the job.eated the character based on what he had laid down vocally. so what i was asked to do when they decided mutually to part ways was to come in and relocate the soul of the character and bring my own heart to it -- >> what -- i'm sorry. >> he was talking about creative differences. how do we have creative differences with el macho? i mean, i love al. i adore him. but that's funny. >> listen, from my point of view, what he laid down was brilliant. it was hilarious. and of course they animated to all the extravagance that he gave them. so it was quite a thrill for me to come in and a challenge, too, really, to try to find -- >> it's almost like he opened for you. al pacino opened for benjamin bratt on broadway. >> you know what my big brag is? this performance, we're conjoined. on some level we've achieved it together. >> you'll love the movie. >> do you enjoy doing this kind of thing, the animated film? >> it's a blast. you get to go to work, you don't have to worry about hair, wardrobe, m

>> i have also snotted on al pacino's face. >> jimmy: did you tell him that? and i had a very bad cold and a drop of snot fell out of my nose. and it wasn't like he could ignore it. [ laughter ] he reacted to it. >> jimmy: oh, no. did he get angry? >> no, he didn't. they broke us for lunch right after that happened. so then i had to like sit with myself mortified for an hour. i was so embarrassed. i went back to set and i said, "mr. pacino, i am so sorry. that is the worst thing that could have happened. i promise that will never happen again." and he said, "don't be silly. i loved it." >> jimmy: that's great. >> and i kind of believe him. i actually was like, you know, i think he's kind of into that. now i'm realizing this is like my signature thing. this is what i do. >> jimmy: post-nasal drip. >> that's what i bring to the table. i'm really good at it. i'm going to add it to my resume and, you know -- >> jimmy: you have to go with your strengths. i've always said that. >> some actresses are really good at crying on command. like okay. which eye in how many

you did your al pacino speech once and then went ( bleep ).out thereof, i'll slap you on the arse. it's impossible to overstate the frns and the relevance of football or so, everyday lives here. thinking how in america it's still seen as a minor sport. this is beyond sport elsewhere. in egypt it's hours and hours of television programming about the game every night. >> they love their football. you know. and the two big teams are once again divided. most people choose between these two teams. but the only thing everybody still stands behind is the national team. >> john: right. and at a time when america is viewed in egypt with such suspicion by both sides, really, it's all on you. ( laughter ) the hope of egypt and the opinion of america is all on your head. >> egyptians don't really have a problem with americans. it's more policy and government and all that other stuff. >> john: you can stick around and we'll talk more about this on the web because it's an amazing story. >> i'd love to. >> john: that would be great. bob bradley, ladies and g

dog day afternoon with al pacino. i think this is what this guy weiner is up to now. >> come on, attempted robbery. >> armed robbery. >> all right, armed then. nobody's been hurt. >> get over there, will you? he wants to kill me so bad, he can taste it. [ yelling ] >> this new york guy that doesn't have a prayer in heaven of being elected mayor of new york is out there doing this. he is out there stirring up crazy. he is trying to make himself a victim of himself, but somehow a victim of the media, of us, of the clintons even as of today. he is trying to blame them for feeling uncomfortable about the guy. is this going to work? you're a political expert. this going to work? >> no, i don't think that's going to work. that's compassion on your part to compare that to that amazing achievement by al pacino who does make him a compassionate figure. i don't think anthony weiner is succeeding that that. but i think you're right. i think there is a kind of desperation and appeal to the crowd. you and i talked about this when

as most of the -- in the films like mel gibson "patriot" films like al pacino "revolution." it's pronounced in popular history. the march of -- ?awbl dedicated to what is almost apparently of the british leadership during the revolutionary war. it even permeates the academic scholars who use words like -- [inaudible] inconfident, and immediate o'cur to describe the leadership. this view that the british -- [inaudible] seemed to be intha strange. and rather diminishes the achievement of commander like washington and greene. it's also a caricature of 18th century british leadership. only three decades later defeated that poll began. the leadership admittedly was aristocratic, both it was competitive. britain had, much like continental europe, the older son inherited the title and the majority of the wealth. the younger sons had to fend for themselves and competitive and essentially pursue career in the army and the house of common with some of the attractive of those all of those careers. military and 1/2 value -- that value commanders had much in common with the modern day mi

i swore i wasn't going to run for mayor, but i'm like al pacino in the godfather, i keep getting pullediner. turns out you don't have to beat weiner, he just beats himself. so i'm back in running for mayor. >> gutfeld for mayor. >> there you go. all right. >> how do i follow that? >> with something wonderful. >> okay. i have something wonderful. that's good. for a long time i have been saying civil rights leaders like sharpton and jackson picked the wrong case, consistently picked the wrong case, here is a great case. bob did this a couple weeks ago. man named reginald griffin is being held in prison in missouri, he was just released on bail for a murder he did not commit. he was initially convicted of a robbery charge, he spent time in prison, he served his time. then he ended up getting convicted for a murder in prison that another inmate committed and then admitted to committing, served 10 to 12 years over his sentence, he has been let free on bond. time for the attorney general of the state of missouri to let this man go, dismiss the charges, dismiss this case. this is a case that m

films like mel gibson's the patriots, sounds like al pacino's revolution. it's pronounced in popular history. the first third of barbara tat and's is dedicated to what is almost a period of the british leadership during the british reform and even permeates the academic scholars who use words like incompetent and mediocre to describe leadership. this view that the british lost the war through incompetence has always seemed to me somewhat strange and it rather diminishes the achievements of commanders like washington and nathaniel green. it's also a caricature of 18th century british leadership which only three decades later defeated napoleon. the leadership admittedly was aristocratic but it was competitive. britain had unlike much of continental europe what was known as -- in which only the oldest son inherited the title and majority of the wealth. the youngest sons had to fend for themselves and to be competitive and essentially to pursue careers. in the army in the house of commons were some of the most attractive of all of those careers. military and na

. >> it was almost like an al pacino movie i guess you could say. very brutal, bloody. >> christine taylor is serving 12 years for aggravated robbery and kidnapping. >> the crime anniversary is february 14 the of 2006. happened on valentine's day. >> the victim was a close female friend. one that taylor alleges stole items from her. >> i took measures into my own hands what we call a citizen's arrest. we tied her up. i had two accomplices. they only caught one. >> you tied her up. what do you mean? >> with 50-foot extension cord. she wasn't really being cooperative in telling me where my things were and i felt it was the best way to get her to tell me to kind of scare her if i bound her. this probably proceeded for the next eight hours of the day. >> during those eight hours taylor committed a series of atrocities. >> i burned her on her face. i burned her on her sides with a 12-gauge shotgun. i had pistol-whipped her in her hip which took a chunk about a quarter-size out of her hip. she was disfigured i guess you could say. her face couldn't really

. >> no, that's compassion on your part to compare him to that will an amazing accomplishment by al pacino who does make him a compassionate figure. i think you're right. there's a kind of desperation and appeal to the crowd and you and i talked about in this week when he it broke at the beginning. the first time around there was a sense in new yorkers he deserved a second chance and some people, some liberals didn't like folks in washington telling them who their representative should have been. they thought he was a good standard bearer. now that is not the sense i'm getting. he is sinking like a stone in the polls. i expect that to continue. the appeal to the crowd is desperate, but i don't think it's going to work. >> i think we're a day or two away from hearing from clinton people. we're already hearing from dee dee myers very trusted by them. i think they're beginning to signal this guy is embarrassing as they begin the slow takeoff for the presidency. thank you, joan walsh, for coming on again tonight. coming up -- you're in new york. one reason to care about anthony weiner's behavi

(cheers) but i won't be able to do it alone, so i'm going to be calling... on all of us to take up this cause. good jobs; a better bargain for the middle c
