Carroll O’Connor vs. Archie Bunker
YouTube ^

Posted on 08/10/2025 9:35:03 PM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

In a very special 1976 episode of “American Bandstand”, Dick Clark asks the late great Carroll O’Connor to answer a question on the environment as himself and as his alter ego, Archie Bunker from “All In The Family”. Simply BRILLIANT how Carroll just seamlessly morphs into Archie and vice-versa.

MeTV plays two hours of All In The Family on Sunday nights. It also runs In The Heat Of The Night every weekday at 11.

O'Connor was definitely a talented and versatile actor. Thanks for posting this!

Look at this short video of Don Rickles Roasting Carroll O’Connor and bantering with Red Foxx.

Man do I miss when we were a male society, listen to the banter.

Carroll O’Connor might have been a liberal, but I doubt he would not be deranged like some Hollywood morons are. Wish I was alive to see him alive. Dad said he was a great actor.

Yea, maybe he could have not matched the leftism of Meathead.

I watched a couple of videos about his feud with Meathead and Sally Struthers. Reiner was a real a-hole.

So is the O’Connor-Bunker dichotomy anything like the Warren Mitchell-Alf Garnett dichotomy?
