What Jack Nicholson Told Jeff Daniels the First Time They Met | The Rich Eisen Show

Jeff can deliver a monologue every bit as good as Jack. The respect makes sense.

Jeff was great as "Flap" in Terms of Endearment. Brings back memories.

I love Jack stories

Love that Jeff's story about meeting Jack makes Debra sound just as ballsy as I always thought she was. Love her. Love this story. Love Jeff in everything I've seen him do.

Made me choke up. What a great story. I'm flashing back to when "Terms Of Endearment" came out, it was the movie of the year, and this new guy Jeff Daniels playing this creep, and this incredible performance from Jack Nicholson (not to mention Shirley Maclaine, Debra Winger, et al). And no matter how much time goes by....to me, he's always the guy from "Terms Of Endearment" and also "Fifth Of July", the Broadway play he was in that was shown on TV around the same time. I don't know which I saw first, but he's always those two characters in my mind, more than anything else. That story brings it full circle.

Got to play on a softball team with Jeff Daniels in the Performing Arts League, Central Park, NYC. He always had his Tigers cap on and he was an excellent first baseman (and good hitter). We won the championship that year. Good guy, sly sense of humor.

Love Jeff Daniels

Jeff great story about Jack! What a legend

Glad to hear that Jack was nice to Jeff Daniels. Not all big stars are nice.

Jack is a wonderful guy, I knew him and he was a guest in my home, my husband's home up Benedict Canyon. He always felt like someone I had known forever. But, last time I saw him at the funeral, of a Hollywood figure he did not know me. All the guys were there, he kept his distance; they told me had dementia. It is sad, he has such a big talent and a bigger heart. He contributed so much to the film business. His films are classics.

How many actors can play a convincing Flap & Harry, and then Washington and Chamberlin. He's brilliant

JEFF DANIELS ONE OF THE BEST OF ALL TIME

I am proud of you too Jeff 😉

Nobody cooler than Jack. Great story.

Jack stories are awesome! Hits different Almost like Steven Seagal stories. If you know you know

Love him, hate him, Jack is a incredible actor, and unique personality that so interesting.

Was in a movie theater in Queens NY with my girlfriend at the time watching Terms Of Endearment and the supermarket scene happened. When John Lithgow said to the young lady who was the cashier giving Debra Winger a hard time “We’ll you must be from NY!” The entire theater gave Lithgow’s line a great big “Raspberry”! It was however despite that a very good film.

Most well known film actors don’t have the guts to do Broadway. Jack gets it.

You often wonder how these actors truly are around other actors... I've herd a few stories like this about Jack. Jeff shares a great story, about what matters.

Rich Eisen is a class act
