Johnny was always great for having classical musicians on fairly regularly. in recent years, it's much rarer to see a great fiddler or pianist on a late night chat show.

Itzak also has a voice that could read children’s audio books for a living 😊

He plays all from memory, makes faces all the time... The pianist always looks at him... He just doesn't seem to bother.... "my pianist's name is Samuel Sanders"... Great artist! Spock helped me...!

Thanks for your comment, Barbara. I recently saw, for the first time, his excellent 2018 biography from "PBS American Masters". It was most informative and entertaining.

[@Glitch-nr9ct]

😂 @ pianist on the last note like “f#%k me I’m glad that’s over”.

[@whocares_bear]

7:08 Itzhak is a Trekkie?! He's one of us! 🖖

[@dannyboy2267]

0:38 is when it starts

There is too Val Doonican in his left side. He made too shows

[@pianopappy]

Please elaborate, Pavel.

[@Glitch-nr9ct]

I bet Itzak can play a mean guitar! (Edit: Banjo, Bass,.... Literally anything with strings and a fretboard.)
