Half the fun of it is the thought that it is an order wrapped in an opportunity to impress the big man, sprinkled with his confidence in you to fulfill the task that was given to you - Employee Motivation 101. 😅
And John Malkovich is such a fan of his, and he’s a good sport in real life, despite people trying to paint him as pretentious when really he’s actually a lot more in tune with the people who watch his movies than other big stars. Like, a LOT more. The things about ordinary people that he mentions in interviews, he seems almost obsessed with not being rich and famous, in a way. Of course, nobody would trade all of that to be a pauper, but he’s not oblivious, he’s actually very self-aware. He empathizes with normal people, also with less well-known stars, and appreciates thoughtful humor which can take effort to supplement the edge of naturally funny guys like Bill.
@@jamesedwards4590 any presumption of Malkovich's pretentiousness went out the window when I saw 'Burn After Reading' His character is so absurd and it's so fun to watch him.
I didn’t realize just how good Conan was until I watched a number of his clips on YT. Kimmel and Fallon were just pretenders while Conan was the Real Deal.
He actually morphs into Arnie and Pacino , when he impersonates them . His Alan Alda , Eastwood and Malkovich are impressive too . Great talent , so funny , can't get enough of him
No because the Malkovich is SO good. And often impressions don't sound quite accurate when they're done in front of the impersonatee but this was just dead on
The best Alan Alda and honestly the most spot on voice impression I've ever heard is Peter Serafinowicz on Running Wilde. He does a perfect Alan Alda impersonation. I was convinced thay had Alan Alda dub his lines it was so perfect. The episode was episode 5 at 18:44
The John Malkovich impression will forever be my favorite impression, especially my favorite impression ever done in front of the person they are impersonating, though Jamie Foxx doing Denzel in front of Denzel is a close second
It's interesting watching him shift back and forth from being the person he's imitating back to himself. His impersonations are very focused on the way the person holds and expresses themselves.
Dennis Murphy is my favorite, and if the gut laughs he couldn't control before breaking into the impersonation are any indicator, I think it's his favorite, too .
I'll never forget when I found out he was a writer/voice actor for South Park. It was when they did the special 6 days to South Park. I was blown away. He is so talented and hilarious! His Stefan bits on SNL are comedy royalty....Dan Cortez 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Jesus christ, I laughed at all of them, but hearing him spit out "2 twos is 4. Four 4's is eight" at conans face, and hearing his reaction was the best one! I was in tears 🤣😂
I could listen to Bill tell stories for hours. Honestly if they made a show that was just Bill telling Hollywood stories and stories about his life I would watch it non stop
I love how with majority of the impressions the audience just laughs, but with Seth Rogen people are more shocked like "wow", since Seth is such a weird person for someone to be able to impersonate
