    His impressions were all good, but his impression of Jim Ignatowski from Taxi was the best one by far!

    Every time I stumble upon Kevin it's terrific.
    I personally love him telling the story on the Bob & Tom show; of him calling in on late night show doing impersonation of Allen arkin while Allen arkin was actually on the show at the time. Beyond funny. Better than the answering machine😉😂😆😂.

    Kevin has done some amazing impressions, William shatner, Jack Nicholson to name but a few. You will never hear a better impression of Peter falk from anyone else He has this down to perfection,,,,, total entertainment.

      Ed Begley Jr does a great Peter Falk. Look him up on CZcams, I think you’ll b impressed.

  • @tiedyebandanachick
    @tiedyebandanachick Před 15 lety +11

    That impression and his Arthur (Dudley Moore) impressions were right on the nose, he didn't even look like he was trying, and that's a mark of a great impressionist!

  • @tyro244
    @tyro244 Před 14 lety +17

    Kevin does so many more impressions than these, but he will forever be remembered as the man who could do Bill Shatner so well he taught a class in Shatner. :-D

    I noticed that, for whatever reason, he walked out to the band playing "The Ocean". No complaints from me, as it's one of my favorite tracks from Led Zeppelin, my favorite band ever.

    • @robinrobyn1714
      @robinrobyn1714 Před rokem +1

      The Beatles. My favorite band,ever.... but I love Led Zeppelin, as well!! And yes...' The Ocean' was a nice intro.

    Jim from 'Taxi' was a nice surprise. Kevin's Christopher Lloyd is pretty darn good and I rarely see it.

    Kevin does the best columbo and Chris walken impressions, love this guy should actually play columbo in a remake ✌

    • @DMSProduktions
      @DMSProduktions Před 3 lety +2

      Yeah, but if he just staggered around, impersonating Peter Falk, it would be just a PARODY, not a remake!

    @deninevh Před 5 lety +15

    It occurs to me that if he were to impersonate these people today, to recruits of today, they wouldn't have any idea who he was doing.

    • @misteral1083
      @misteral1083 Před 2 lety +5

      I'm reasonably sure they didn't know who Woody Allen was here. And it was a good enough impression. Meanwhile, just the crazy look was all they needed to recognise Jim from Taxi.

    The last one, to me, was the best one. Kevin is very convincing in cop/crime movies, too - just like another funny man: Norman Fell.

    • @AmericasChoice
      @AmericasChoice Před 4 lety

      And Rickles, too. He played a convincing sociopath in The Rat Race. Same with Peter Sellers in Never Let Go.

    Hey how are ya? Just commenting here in 2020 looks it's been a while so here I go. Kevin Pollak is a genius, one of the best impressionists of all time. HOWEVER good lord that host Gary Kroeger just chills me to the bone with his nightmare inducing "everything about me SCREAMS 1990 in the worst way humanly possible" thing he had going on there. Unacceptable Gary.
