This was an excellent interview. Gene Wilder is a national treasure, and this interviewer did an absolutely awesome job. I only wish it were longer! I could have watched this thing all day!

Such a wonderful man! Always loved him, always will. We sure need another Gene Wilder film at the movie theater. I can see why he's semi-retired from acting. The type of films he does are in very short supply nowadays. Not many actors like Gene Wilder around anymore. Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks are comedy genius!

My favorite scene is when he comes out of the subway bathroom with the boombox pretending to be a black guy in "Silver Streak" lmao. Also, the we don't take no shit scene in "Stir Crazy". Epic, just epic. RIP Gene.

I really miss him along with Robin Williams. Those two can make you laugh, but also make you feel a warmth not given often by comedic actors! ❤

Thanks for this interviews after reading 'It's Always Something' the comments that Mr. Wilder made about Ms. Radner- Wilder makes so much sense now. He was a good husband to her and obviously a loyal husband to his wife now.how refreshing in today's Hollywood.
