Frank really made the show, he was such a nice guy and genuinely tried to give all of these people shot at stardom. Actually this guy does some decent impressions! ...some.
"HA ha ha ho ho ohhh, Johnny, that shit is great! You oughta be on television with those impressions, man! Kenny, I'm buying his next drink!" - drunk in a bar at 12:45 pm on a Thursday in 1985, planting the seed for this clown to be on TH-cam in 2020.
"...Son, fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life." "But...I do impressions!" (Flash forward to two weeks later when Mr. Fat, Drunk and Stupid is on public access cable) "Lookit me ma, I'm on top of the world!" (30 years later, a bunch of people are making snarky remarks about him on TH-cam...)
Waknoodle At the beginning he said, “Can you imagine if politicians were in the fight game?” And then he added the go-to line of all hack comedians/impressionists, “I think it would go a little something like this.....”
Nowhere even close 🤣 this guy is semi competent compared to other impressionists yet have been on and that's the depth of talent In sts roster it goes right to the bottom
This individual seems to have the technical ability to do the voices, but has absolutely no sense of performance or coherent delivery. Impressionists who begin every voice with “Hello, this is (insert name)” just are not professionals.
I watched this with my blind brother and he asked me how a public access show was able to get such big stars to appear
I couldn't tell one voice from another. A great talent...
He blew that basement audiences’ minds. 🤯
2:25 They're clapping because it's finally over.
Fun fact: Calls to the suicide hotline spiked during the run of this show.
Impressions that are "kinda" funny to a bunch of drunks in a bar don't always translate as a stage act.
He's killing it!!
I was really hoping for a Looney Tunes cane pulling him off the stage.
Or a trap door in the floor like on the old "Laugh In" show? (I'm showing my age - BOOMER! 😁)
The first and only time anyone has ever done a Pacino impression.
Now this is what public access tv is supposed to look like ! Well done , sir !
"He does these impersonations-you'd think it was the real people!"
Howard Cosell is the one impression that all bad comedians do.

Holy shit it’s like Nicholson is in the room with you!
This is better than Fernwood 2Nite.
Rich Little, eat your heart out! LOL!!!
Always a good sign when you can hear a pin drop during a "comedy" act.
Tss, it's like he's all those guys or sumpthin. Tss.
That Gerry Cooney and Larrys Holme fight was really something.

This makes me want to open a vein
Man, Larrys Holme was an epic boxer.
Along with Rocky Balbola
Who is Rocky Balbola???? I know Rocky Balboa, but Rocky Balbola???
TSSS FAWKIN GUYS GUD!

Jimmy Carter jokes in 1986?
The smattering applause, his flop sweat and comb over are amazing. Worst dialogue ever, why the fuck are they all fighting??

1986 dressed like 1976
Hey now, he probably borrowed that suit from his uncle.
Can you imagine? An evening with Johnny Gallagher and Cheryl Klein. Suicides all around.
They actually have a Vegas-style residency in the 9th level of Hell. Joe Piscopo is on the 10th.
Instead of sending terrorists to Gitmo, make them watch Johnny and Cheryl. Add in some Dante for good measure!
@@kevinkeough3434 And if that doesn't make them confess, have them listen to HAIRDRESSER HAIRDRESSER OHHH! 🎵🎶
I'll take old time radio routines of Bob and Ray over those two, thank you very little!
Good for him its nice to see someone happy and smiling...
I like that Hal Green couldn’t be bothered to move out of the shot.
Frightened somebody would steal the mighty bass drum!
You'd look that way Hal did if you wanted a Keith Moon drum set and all Frank could give you was his goddaughter's Toys R Us set! 🤣
Someone should translate this from stupid to english
"I imagine it goes something like this."
quall
Sssspaghetti and meatballllls
James quall....in, back to squall
Quall now to order some quallity impressions ya dingus!
Quall is far superior to this idiot.
the best impressionists always start by saying "this is...", to tell you who they're doing.
That was before Pacino's voice changed!
Ten minutes later a giant human net with a pole was put over him and he was returned to the loony bin.
He's great!
1986 and his most modern impressions are old.
I know Gen-Z wouldn't know most of those people but I think a lot of Millennials might not know them either.
There's something very sweet about this show
Ruff, tuff, cream puff. Wow, the creative liberty with this one. A rose amongst thorns, really🥀
Jack Nicholson? More like Nick Jackalson.
Best dang Nick Jackalson impression I ever seend.
He should of closed doing Budd Dwyer
Dayuuuummmm. That was Savage. I understand the Bud R Dwyer. Reference. I watched that live
1986 but his wardrobe is from 1974.
Looked like he was taxiing for take off
Deaf people worldwide applaud this performance
the sad thing is, hes not even the worst "comedian" to grace that basement
Nowhere even close 🤣 this guy is semi competent compared to other impressionists yet have been on and that's the depth of talent In sts roster it goes right to the bottom
Cheryl Klein and the guy who did a stand up routine about a telethon for dandruff. 👎👎 🚽🧻
It was filmed in a studio in manhattan...not a basement!
Well done.
I'm just a rough tough cream Puff
His Hitchcock face made me laugh, not gonna lie lol
spaghetti and meatballs
waitinforasuperman james quall
now that's the best jimmy carter impersonation i've ever heard...i think.
Rocky Ebola
I miss community cable tv
When he does Rich Little we reach the Singularity and the world ends.
Date is wrong. This is 1979.
The poison control holiness just lit up
Well...leisure suits...
Is this terrible or bad, I can’t tell.
WHY THE FUCK IS JACK NICHOLSON DOING SPORTS INTERVIEWS?
Sorry I don't think this was 1986. The shirt and huge collar are definitely 70's
indeed - more like 76
I want to fight this guy
DOUBLE IMPRESSIONS. TSS.
This is cringe gold.
that was painful
What in the ungodly hell
If the Uncanny Valley was a Las Vegas lounge showroom...
The heck is this??
rocky balbola
Nobody’s laughing.
My gammy died from Balbola.
Tim and Eric vibes.
Helluva lot more entertaining than a Chris Rock.
Tsss...Johnny Gallagher...shouldn't he be smashin' a watermelon or sumpthin? tss
The corners of his eyebrows go all the way up his forehead...

Riveting
Couch potato impressions
What the utter fuck
This video is very khaki tsstss
This man is absolutely on the spectrum, like wayyyyyyyy on it.
Glad I'm not Irish.
I hope he didn't quit his day job, and
I bet he gets beat up a lot in his neighborhood...
There's bad, there's awful, there's horrendous, and then there's this guy.
Great impression of Donald Trump..
that was the worst President Obama impression i ever heard
