first episodes he has groucho marx on. he is very funny except when he talks about humor.does not do any of groucho's jokes. it is a terrible show, but appealing in its awfulness. like the worst availability -- movie you have ever seen. but i am not sure how he did it. i think humor was a key part of it. also being in a mass media era. i was saying before about this stratification of the culture. it is hard to imagine one figure emerging as a key voice on television, everyone else looks up your we have hundreds of channels. splash iner to make a the media in certain ways unless you are extreme and loud and paranoid, whatever. those kind of things that are leading grabbers. yeah. >> [indiscernible] >> party play that part with buckley? [indiscernible] heather: with someone like the president-elect you mean? thank you for referencing that specific moment where buckley responded to current events but he always liked to look at the bigger picture. unlike the news media cycle where you have to respond to what happened that day, on the could talk about the future of the conserva

their traditions everyday lives and language i can just come out of my lungs on a song so i'm ok i'm groucho. like a fish because i am going to d.w. dot com the germans. the perception that germans are white fish head and blue eyed has never been true and will never be two it's and. people always ask me where i'm from. it's not possible to be german and black. from the moment i get up and leave the house in the morning i'm confronted with racist views images and styria types of people. as a child our us wanted to have white skin because i've heard bed being black and not being able to blend in and i was kind of sticking a hold of the group and being you know different than the rest i didn't want to be different. i am traveling around germany to talk with other black people about or experiences with racism my first stop this ham that's where i was born into. i had absolutely wonderful parents and that helped me a lot in difficult situations. i mean i always had a lot of friends about what i do remember. that we played these funny games like who's afraid of the black man and tender little worl

and i walked in, and you were on the stage doing the groucho mark. >> the critics came in thinking i-- "golee. i have never been in the city before." and instead was a sleazy gordon miller. they were shocked. plut of plus it didn't look like me. i had pants up to here, a half jar of pomaid and the brilliantine mistash, and people said that's not mark. that's gordon miller. that's why whati like about character actors. if in voiceovers they cast with the ears and not the eyes and you get a lot of parts you wouldn't get on camera. >> stephen: many have said of all the jockers, yourself is the greatest of all time. ( applause ). >> stephen: there was a recent ranking. there was a recent ranking. you come in number one. >> i have fun. i love the joker! because, i mean, to get behind the wheel of that crazy car. i mean, you're not in every episode, but when you show up, you just create chaos, and it's a fantastic cast. kevin conroy's been my batman since '92. we're celebrating our 25th year. and you know, i have my batman family, i have my "star wars" family. i just can't believe how much

. >> it was very anti-war, but with this character like groucho. >> he tried to kill us and now you'reng to save him? >> yeah, the whole thing's ridiculous, isn't it? >> on some level i knew, this is someone who's speaking out against hypocrisy and that it's wrong to hurt people, and i assume it just wired my brain for almost a compassionate way of looking at the world, that seems kind of full of crap, but it is true. when you're watching "m.a.s.h." two times a day from the time you're like 5 years old for 10 or 12 years, you know, what you're soaking in is the humanity ofgillbart and his way of looking at the world. >> some people think he was very liberal, but he was also a traditional conservative. he wanted nothing more than to have people leave him alone so he could enjoy his martini, you know? government should get out of his liquor cabinet. >> oh, this is sensational. >> you're my kind of girl, nancy. drunk. >> there's no better doctor than hawkeye. i remember thinking, even him drunk, i would rather him be my doctor than somebody sober. >> when authority got ridiculous, he -- h

and as groucho marx said, who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes? >> but i think that gets back to the rose point. the idea that he identifies himself as sebastian only put her on notice that this person that she loves also went by the name sebastian. it's kind of a potato potato thing. >> i prefer tomato tomato. >> my mistake i will correct the record. the issue here is not that she was marrying someone with a different name. this is not the marilyn monroe situation. this is the bart simpson situation. that is the very different situation. >> isn't our standard much higher than that. you can't go around giving annulments like oprah's favorite things. you get an annulment and you get an annulment.
