Vintage Kevin Pollak! - A Comedy Tribute!

[@JamesCagney-wi4tx]

He's one of the best, hats off to Kevin Pollak!

[@christopherbowen7816]

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.

[@Jojodancer20100]

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

[@fatalerror---]

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😉😂😆😂.

[@martyh5980]

What got my attention was my units F14 in the shot, VF2 the one with the Red, White and Blue Stripe. Then I looked at the date, I was stationed at Miramar until Nov 1990. A trip down memory lane...

[@LJY08]

Brilliant, just brilliant! Woody Allen - "I'm not real good in the desert...my people tend to wander a bit..." - Oh man, did I lose it!

[@tiedyebandanachick]

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!

[@justinoaks]

I was the line producer on that show - glad to have found this clip.

[@tyro244]

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

[@bigcatproductions2789]

Shoulder PADS ! Amazing talent !

[@edithann1284]

I love Kevin pollock! I wish I could find the old routine where he did the original Star Trek cast. Always funny!

[@blazerocker1734]

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

[@1952rq]

Got blessed to work in a film he starred in " A Country Christmas".

[@RussellPaplior]

Reverend Jim was the BEST!

[@keithc9461]

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

[@DMSProduktions]

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

[@jefftokaji6460]

Fantastic.

[@vassa1972]

Great stuff

[@chrischar9428]

I watch that the night at first aired

[@warrena10]

His Peter Falk is spot on

[@SuperWidemouth]

Two minutes to get to the first joke, whew! But...not only does he Shatner great, but he can yell like Shatner...pretty amazing impression.

[@martinleicht5911]

GR8 VID!! ✌ 😎

[@k1productions87]

Holy crap, he almost even looked just like Woody Allen lol

[@paulmorvantjr.8072]

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]

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

[@1godonlyone119]

His Shatner impression is practically miraculous.

[@stevenmorris2293]

That’s gold

[@iagrl]

I love this one.

[@deninevh]

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]

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.

[@Baci302]

Pollack is so talented

[@laylasimic4709]

I can not believe that 10 people gave KP a thumbs down??!! OMG I laughed so damn long and hard!! One of my most beloved male comic characters is Jim from Taxi!! That was a treat! THANK YOU!!

[@jeffclement2979]

My best friend and I used to try to imitate Rev. Jim back in the day...nowhere near as good as this 😂

[@disconnected22]

Thank you for posting this! I remember taping this off of Fox back in '91

[@joe-vz6hx]

figures, the Woody Allen flew right by them but Jim from Taxi gets a roar lol

[@Bellhorn25]

holy crap. I've never seen christopher lloyd impression before lol

[@kamuelalee]

Reverend Jim!

[@johnf1979]

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.

[@artielon]

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]

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

[@BimTalch]

his Columbo is the best impression he does

[@smudger671]

No it isn't.

[@MagnumSkyWolf]

Columbo was spot on lol

[@TheLegalImmigrant05]

Funny of the LMAO variety :) Thanks

[@Billinois78]

I realize you asked your question a year ago, but if you don't yet know, that song is "The Ocean" by Led Zeppelin.

[@steve4980]

It is a cool tie! Lighten up, Francis!

[@H2R504]

Woody Allen went over their heads...obviously. Not many from that generation either had never seen or possibly heard Woody.

[@zekelucente9702]

Coming on stage to Zeppelin now that’s cool.

[@stevejones371]

Go watch Kevin Policks podcast episodes - GOLD!!!

[@jiwbink]

"WHAT DOES A YELLOW LIGHT MEAN"? SLOW DOWN. WHHAAT DOOEES A YELLLLOOW LIIGHHTT MEANN? SLOW DOWN. WHAAAT DOOOEEES AAA YEELLLOOOW LIIGHHHTT MEEAAANNN? GOTTA BE ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST SITCOM MOMENTS, EVER ON AIR! IGGYS DRIVING LISC TEST.

[@thegorn68]

Great Woody Allen and Peter Faulk!

[@uhohyoho]

7 dollars a movie... those were the days

[@BETMARKonTube]

I love this guy, but that was probably the worst professional *Schwarzenegger* impression I've ever heard *XD*

[@larrysmith2638]

To be fair, Arnold does a terrible Schwarzenegger.

[@Hasstmachine]

I saw the Usual Suspects when I was nine. Now I see this.

[@JEFFYjackass]

Real good Tyson Aww Darkman hahaha

[@jiwbink]

WHO IS THERE TODAY,NEARLY 35 YEARS ON,EVEN CLOSE TO THIS GOOD? NOT TO MENTION, NOT ONE MF, OR ITHER BLUE LANGUAGE. MUCH TO BE SAID FOR THAT!!

[@blueskye6372]

Funny. 😉😀

[@redmangoart]

nice woody allen!

[@TeamPhooz]

The dude introducing looks just like uncle jessie

[@larrysmith2638]

Not so much.

[@AndJusTIceForRob]

Was that Christopher Lloyd at the end?

[@danlivni2097]

From 1990

[@phoenixsonrising]

lol at the Christopher Lloyd

[@jiwbink]

BIG JIM IGNATOWSKI !!

[@knownpleasures]

William Shatner even did a couple of episodes of Columbo

[@arthouston7361]

I think the problem there was…….this was not a crowd that ever saw Annie Hall.

[@teslaphysics]

That was "Desert Shield", not Storm. "Desert Storm" wasn't until January 1991.

[@ypsiloneksugarek4157]

Guy looks talented. He should try acting.

[@LRS905]

Is he imitating Doc Brown or Jim Ignatowski?

[@H2R504]

RL R Reverend Jim obviously.

[@delona6485]

Why is his jacket three sizes too big?

[@jairushughes2884]

See previous comment.

[@SpaceCattttt]

90s fashion. I had the exact same suit. It looked like shit, but it was a gift...

[@megastor21]

Francis?

[@bradleybrown8399]

NEVER wear a double-breasted jacket unbuttoned

[@MrBigike76]

Never wear a double breasted jacket!

[@hornetbrown]

Mmmm...love those black shoes, blue slacks and brown db jacket with those huge shoulders. His tailor deserves a thrashing. The '80s sucked balls, then the clothing followed suit (wowsa!).

[@doyouluvit]

it was 1990 genius

[@45billyva]

so funny and yet he ended up filming a movie with Arnold. irony..

[@pogo747]

@tcmaxxx The Ocean, Led.

[@nooyawkfun]

Dude at 3:01 looks a bit like Tom Cruise.

[@kamuelalee]

Christian Bale

[@LPfinatic]

@luchinbass Christopher Lloyd

[@toadmanblues5466]

Really funny! But nothing tops John Belushi's Kurt,on SNL in the 70's.

[@farerse]

that wasn't mike tyson, that was mickey mouse

[@beasst94]

shatner voice was too rushed

[@walkertongdee]

Wow did not know he died.

[@paulmorvantjr.8072]

Who?

[@megastor21]

that is one ugly tie

[@2degucitas]

Hey Uncle Joey......Alanis said to tell you, you're a putz. And, your thingy is very small. She had a hard time finding it in the dark theater.

[@LRS905]

Good comedy, damn cheesy and dated presenter-scenery...

[@MrHalfjack]

the impressions are okay, but he's not very funny.

[@Steve20127]

Some people will laugh at any old crap.

[@paulmorvantjr.8072]

Some will be trolls.

[@hrxy1]

Crap, dork

[@paulmorvantjr.8072]

To you.
