    “Surely You Can’t Be Serious!” Robert Hays Celebrates The Legacy Of Airplane!

    Comedy icon Robert Hays is taking flight once again as he and co-star Julie Hagerty hit the road celebrating one of the funniest films ever made — the legendary Airplane! The groundbreaking 1980 comedy changed movie history forever with its rapid-fire jokes, absurd humor, and unforgettable one-liners. Hays starred as Ted Striker, the troubled ex-fighter pilot forced to land a plane in chaos, delivering some of the most quoted moments in comedy history including the iconic, “Surely you can’t be serious.” Of course… “I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.” The film became a box office smash and remains one of the most beloved comedies of all time. Now Robert Hays joins us on The Roundtable to look back at the making of the classic film, memories with Julie Hagerty and the cast, behind-the-scenes stories, and why Airplane! still connects with generations of fans today. From the deadpan delivery to the nonstop gags, Airplane! helped redefine parody films and launched countless comedy careers. We talk laughs, legacy, Hollywood memories, and why audiences still quote the movie over four decades later. Fasten your seatbelts… this conversation is cleared for takeoff!
