This was when I first saw her. I was a kid of 10. Then she was everywhere , THE "JACK BENNY SHOW," "I LOVE LUCY," then THE "BEVERLY HILLBILLIES" I knew her ex-husband Charles in the 70s. He was a nice guy. He had worked with business dealings in show business and restaurants. She was a rare talent. In the 80s, she lived not far from me when I lived in Studio City. If I remember correctly, she lived just off Laurel Canyon.

Fatiot

😝👌👍

Uncle Beano! I didn't know he was a comic. I'd only ever seen him on Out of This World.

Two seconds in I knew he was inevitably going to do Gleason.

I was hoping he would do Ralph Kramden!! He looks just like him!

❤❤❤❤

He looks like Joe DeRosa if he ate too many of his Joey Roses sandwiches.

Great honeymooner's impersonation. This guy was awesome. Rip Buddy.

Alex Bennett has a face for radio, that's for sure.

Damn he looks like John Candy and even has his mannerisms.

Yeah, I forgot about him too.

I remember Joe from the Loren and Wally show in Boston. Very funny.

jackie gleason son?

Funny guy. RIP. Thanks to youtube for this (and your channel). Is there comedy like this anymore on TV? Maybe I'd watch it now, instead of 30 years later.

So fun to see this again, after so many years. Glad he was able to continue a solid career as a voice actor. 💜

Born in Troy, NY 10 years before me.

Wow I’m sorry only finding him now. Fantastic performance. R.I.P

i heard an atta boy lucious

He's good... I can't believe I've never seen him and don't think I've heard the name before. Once in a while the social misfits at youtube let a good video slip through. Took 15 years for this one to come around, but it was worth it.

He not only was superbly talented, he connected so well with the audience. That's the hardest part. I did stand up comedy/impressions a few times in the '80s, and connection was the real challenge. Joe Alaskey was a natural.

I guess you had to be there. He was good but I think alcohol contributed for half the laughter.

He is unwatchable.

I recorded this very show off the TV. I've watched this many times.

I kept waiting for him to do Ralph Kramden as he resembled him. Finally got it in at the end of the show.

Gleason is spot on!

He's about as good as Fred Travalena, and that's not good.

I would hear him on WVBF FM in Boston back in the day . Enormous talent.

Not funny at all in fact embarrassing

When??

When I started watching the video I thought that he looks a little like Jackie Gleason and was wondering if he would do it. He did.

He’s absolutely hilarious and best impressions I’ve heard. I can see others coping him.❤ I love this talent! ❤ I’m sorry he’s passed but we will see him again in the new world, resurrected along with many other legends and our lost loved ones.

He actually becomes Gleason. Phenomenal.

Great video, but please put the original recording date if possible for historical context.

His Shatner cracks me up.

He had me at Don Knotts. This is gold

The impressions are genuinely awful. An absolute hack.

I have to wonder if Kevin Pollack borrowed this guys act?

Actors today are so generic. Can't imagine an impressionist having anyone to even do.

He was fantastic. Pity he died so soon.

Wow great performance 🎭 never heard of him double tums 👍 👍ups. That’s thumbs up I’m a very sarcastic person he’s perfect 🤩 RIP 🪦.

As a Brit I have never heard of this guy, but he's cracking me up!

Beer, Wine, Cigarettes and a Movie. What more could you possibly want out of life...

Delightful!

Wow, I never heard of him sadly but how did he slip by? He was great, fantastic!

wow, that was a nice lil' concert in Eugene in '86. its like you can her the genesis of all his later songs ..

Here he is in 1986 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn3UhJ2ho92pgq8
