  • Introduction to Video Content
  • Welcome to WatchMojo UK, where today we will be exploring 10 iconic moments from Michael Parkinson's chat show. Parkinson, a renowned interviewer, had the talent to bring out the best in his guests, resulting in some unforgettable moments. We invite you to share your favorite memory of Parky in the comments. One such memorable moment occurred in 1976 when Parkinson interviewed Rod Hull and his puppet Emu. Known for its unpredictable behavior, Emu's violent nature was on full display during the interview as it attacked Parkinson. The hilarious clip, although unsettling for Parkinson himself, has become a nostalgic favorite among viewers. The late Robin Williams graced Parkinson's show in 2002, showcasing his ad-libbing and comedic skills. Williams effortlessly captivated the audience, leaving Parkinson with little to add to the conversation. Williams also shared his admiration for comedy legends Peter Sellers and Dudley Moore, making this interview truly legendary. In 1999, Sir Paul McCartney appeared on the show, regaling Parkinson with stories about the formation of the Beatles. This appearance remains a memorable moment, showcasing McCartney's charm and wit. Stay tuned for more iconic moments from Parkinson's chat show!
  • Subtitles section
  • Welcome to WatchMojo UK, and today we'll be looking at 10 Iconic Parkinson Moments.
  • For This list, we're looking at the greatest interviews the late, great Michael Parkinson ever conducted on his eponymous chat show.
  • Let us know in the comments what your favourite memory of Parky is.
  • Rod Hull and Emu.
  • Always notoriously violent, it's little wonder that Parky incurred Emu's wrath during his particularly memorable encounter in 1976.
  • Parkinson was interviewing Emu and his creator Rod Hull, and the pair came to blows as soon as the introductions.
  • During the interview, Emu bit Parkinson all over, and it was clear he wished the chairs had been spaced further apart this time.
  • Parkinson was attacked so relentlessly that he fell to the floor.
  • He later admitted to being unhappy with the interview, and how it could have made him look unserious, but to viewers, this remains a hilarious and nostalgic clip that we look back on fondly.
  • Robin Williams.
  • Beloved comedian Robin Williams appeared on Parkinson in 2002 to talk about his career and show off his ad-libbing and comedy skills once again.
  • He started out by riffing about shoe bombers and airport security, a hot topic that year, and then moved onto other topics.
  • In truth, Parky had very little to add to this interview for most of it, which was probably for the best, it takes a skilled interviewer to know when he should stop talking and let his guest really shine,
  • Which Williams certainly did.
  • At the end though, it was made truly legendary by Williams opening up about his comedy idols and influences, notably praising Peter Sellers and Dudley Moore.
  • Sir Paul McCartney.
  • It's his 1999 appearance we're talking about here, as McCartney met Parkinson and quickly launched into stories about how the Beatles were formed.
  • He talked about the day he met John Lennon, watching the Quarrymen perform and eventually becoming a member, as well as meeting George Harrison in school.
  • It was certainly a special moment to watch McCartney recreate his audition for the Quarrymen on television, showing the musical genius that would eventually create some of the most popular and enduring songs in history.
  • To think it all came about because Lennon and McCartney happened to have a mutual friend.
  • David and Victoria Beckham.
  • Hodge and Becks had only been married for a few years when they appeared on the show in 2001, but already they were the most famous celebrity couple in the country.
  • This is what Parkinson wanted to talk to them about, asking Victoria about her public image.
  • And what comes to is your determination, at all costs, to actually succeed.
  • Is that a sort of a message that you hope comes across to kids?
  • Parky also asked them about their growing family, and whether they felt they had a responsibility to be good role models, particularly to young fans of football and the Spice Girls.
  • Of course, we all remember this interview for something else, Victoria accidentally letting slip that her private nickname for David is Golden Balls.
  • Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy.
  • Not only did Parky interview Emu, he talked to many more puppets over the years, though at least these two talked back and didn't attack him.
  • Kermit went on the show to set the record straight about his relationship with Miss Piggy, and his alleged affair.
  • The revelation that Kermit and Miss Piggy weren't an item led to Parky confessing that Miss Piggy was, truly, the woman of his dreams.
  • It's rare to get a love confession on television, and especially one between two celebrities of this calibre.
  • There was still some clear tension between Kermit and Miss Piggy, however, which certainly made things awkward.
  • Billy Connolly.
  • Many, many times did wildly popular Scottish comedian Billy Connolly appear on Parkinson, and he was so popular that he was one of the guests brought on to Parky's last ever episode In 2007.
  • Connolly remarkably appeared on the show before he shot to stardom, and continued to get booked even as he gained a reputation for very bad language.
  • In their last interview, they talked about growing old, and its pros and cons, as Parkinson got ready to retire.
  • There was never any doubt that Connolly would rise to the occasion, and he was just as funny in his last appearance as he was when he told that notorious wife joke back in 1975.
  • Orson Welles.
  • A man who probably needs no introduction, visionary director, screenwriter, and actor Orson Welles appeared on Parkinson in 1974.
  • He talked about many things, among them Hollywood, and the position of Hollywood in the 70s versus the old studio system that ruled the industry when Welles was making his name.
  • As well as being famous as a filmmaker though, Welles' true love was perhaps the stage, and he talked to Parkinson at length about the difficulties of putting on a play versus a film.
  • He viewed himself as a symbol of the inevitable end of the system, of the abandonment of the studios for the auteur director, which he certainly was.
  • John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
  • McCartney wasn't the only former Beatle that Parkinson ever talked to, as he also interviewed John and Yoko barely two years after the Beatles were done for good, in 1971.
  • Not much actually survives from this interview, but Lennon ended up furious.
  • He took aim at the British press for their relentless attacks on his wife, as they called her ugly, were outraged that he'd gotten divorced, and blamed Yoko for the demise of the Beatles.
  • Even today, lots of people blame her for splitting up the band, though John and Yoko remained happily married and successful creative partners for the rest of Lennon's life.
  • David Bowie.
  • From one legendary musician to another, Bowie arrived to talk about his life and work in 2002.
  • He began by talking about how he, like many other successful artists, was inspired by the one and only Little Richard in his youth.
  • He also reminisced about seeing the Rolling Stones before they were famous, and breaks out his Mick Jagger impression, much to the joy of the audience.
  • Bowie talked about his next record, his Bach catalogue, recited poetry, and even performed two songs.
  • Even better, Hollywood A-lister Tom Hanks was also on that episode, making it an even more legendary television moment.
  • Muhammad Ali.
  • It's no surprise that Parkinson himself said that his interviews with Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest athletes to ever live, were personal favourites, and Ali, one of his most popular guests.
  • One memorable 1981 interview opened with Parkinson asking Ali about his health following a recent fight, and it wasn't long until the humour emerged and the audience started laughing a lot.
  • Parkey later talked about his time with Ali at length, saying that while he didn't like him at first, he grew to like and greatly respect him, for his intelligence, charm and his talent.
