Transcript
00:00I can't tell you what was right about John Candy or what was wrong, but he was my friend, and I don't want to cry, but when I see him, when you see his face, I mean.
00:16Who are you?
00:18I'm a mog. Half man, half dog.
00:20Gus Walensky, polka king of the Midwest.
00:22L. Griffith, director of sales, shower curtain ring division.
00:24This is a lovable guy. This is a guy who the minute you see his face, you're going to smile.
00:30He was amazingly funny.
00:33Thank you!
00:34He was one of the top performers out of all of them.
00:38Guess my secret to acting would be, I pretend real hard.
00:42Even though John did distinctly different characters, John was always there.
00:48He was so gentlemanly and so Canadian.
00:51Nobody had bigger expectations for himself than John.
00:55And then all of a sudden, it kind of jumped to a different level.
01:00I've made winning my whole life, and when you make winning your whole life, you have to keep on winning.
01:05You've been in more turkeys than a stuffing mix.
01:08I think the weight of everything he was doing was just too much.
01:11The hazard of this business is that it's very unhealthy for people pleasers.
01:15You can't really do favors for people.
01:18It's a bottomless cup of coffee.
01:19If you go a whole lifetime eating your feelings, drinking your feelings, smoking your nerves, it shows up.
01:29You know, there's some things that are just painful.
01:33That's it.
01:34And you can't make them not painful.
01:36Hollywood still reacting to the shocking news.
01:38John Candy is dead at the age of 43.
01:41But it's the face you put on the world that defines who you are.
01:46He lived his life very much like the movies.
01:52He was the child that made everyone happy.
01:55And he was the adult that did that.
01:58You know, I remember John Caring when not a lot of people did.
02:03Every time you go away.
02:07This is no meager life we reflect on today.
02:09You take a piece of...
02:12This is as full a life as any human can live.
02:15Hi, Daddy.
02:16Hi, Jennifer.
02:16How you doing?
02:18Magnificent of visage, eyes and frame.
02:21The titan of a gentle, golden man.
02:25Well, you think what you want about me.
02:26I'm not changing.
02:28I like... I like me.
02:29I like me.
