John Candy as Orson Welles on the Billy Crystal Comedy Hour (1982) 

This is as perfect an impression of anyone that I've ever seen - the look, the mannerisms, the tone of voice - everything is perfect.

"I'm always on my mark. Move your camera." That's the most Welles-like thing anybody who isn't Welles has ever said!

Candy had Orson Welles down. "I'm on my mark. Move your camera."

I've been a John Candy fan my entire life, and this is the first time I've seen his Orson Welles. Fantastic

Welles said this: "My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people." So Candy just nailed it. Love both these guys.

The tragedy of John Candy is that few appreciated how capable an actor he actually was. A superlative comedian no doubt; but few comedians could convey the same weight of emotion, even in overtly comic roles. Part of what made him so memorably funny was the fact that he could make you laugh one minute, and then make you cry the next. Even in the most juvenile roles, his humanity overflowed.

Candy nailed the Orson Welles impression “ I’m on my mark, move your camera!” “ Orson Welles, good time magic show” lol 😂 😂😂😂😂

I love the way he works the resemblance and doesn't overdo the voice; the result is incredibly convincing. Candy was a fine actor.

ahHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! THE FRENCH CHAMPAGNE...

RIP John Candy and Orson Welles. Both giants in their respective fields.

“Don’t push me. Don’t ever push me.”

"I'm ON my mark. Move your camera!" LOL!!! That was good!

For a second I thought that WAS Orson Welles. . .

I seldom care when celebrities or strangers die. But ever since John died I've missed him. He was special.

I didn't think my respect for John Candy could go any higher but it just did!

Candy was funny, but the man could act. He was great in JFK. He was great in everything. Just a great talent overall.

"Yes, always..." A clear reference to the infamous Orson frozen peas outtakes. Candy's impression is quite good.

Orson would probably have loved this impression. It was funny, but didn't mock him. I wonder if he ever commented on it

Yes, Always! You can tell John Candy, or the writers, were listening to the Orson Welles frozen peas outtakes.

R.I.P. John Candy. You are sorely missed 😟❤

Whoa. I can barely tell this is John Candy. Amazing impression

I sure miss John Candy. That guy had perfect comedic timing and really seemed like a genuinely nice person. His role in Planes Trains and Automobiles was absolutely perfect.

John Candy, genius of comedy, gone from us way, way, way too soon.

John Candy was a beautiful soul..*

John Candy was always on his mark. If he wasn't is because you weren't on yours.

what a rare talent...we lost John Candy far too soon.

OMG he's spot on!

I consider myself so lucky to have discovered John Candy as a 6 yr old living in Edmonton, Alberta (where some seasons of the show were filmed). I've realized, there is not a day that passes that I don't think about John. I can only imagine where he would be today, as he wanted to pursue more serious roles. There will never be anyone like him.

The saddest thing about John is that we didn't have enough time to fully appreciate his talent. I can only imagine how many great things he could've done...😔

Nobody did Orson Wells as good as John Candy. Classic!

I love how Candy never even tried to mimic the voice of the people he played. That's part of his charm.

John Candy's method acting as the Method Actor turned director: Orson Welles? WOW! Nailed the whole thing. Mannerisms and quips! XD

Watching this on March 4, 2019--the 25th anniversary since John left us. His Orson Welles impression couldn't be beat here or on SCTV which is interesting because other cast members have said Candy wasn't entirely comfortable doing impressions but preferred to focus on his own original characters. He must have seen something infinitely fascinating and hilarious in Welles' larger than life public persona. RIP, John. We still love you.

He looked like Orson Wells but still clearly sounds like John Candy.

I miss John Candy so much. He was always a class act.

" We will sale no wine..................before it's time " Candy nails this !!! I am now 56 and remember Orson Wells , LEGEND !

John Candy.Truly brilliant, amazing and greatly, missed. That is not to make less of Billy Cristal

Happy birthday John candy you will be missed by me even though I was born in 2000

Candy had a presence and a power and he OWNED it. It takes a BIG man to hold such charisma and Candy had it in folds. As SCTV's John Belushi, he was expected to help carry the show on his big shoulders and was more than capable. Big Man, Big Loss.

Sure miss him he was great and had a good heart

That's a good look for Candy.

It's always great to see these old inside references to the Orson Welles "frozen peas" outtakes before they became public.

Lately I have been watching a lot of Orson Welles's movies and his talks. What a genious. This amazing actor is spot on.

Dear Canada, Thank you for producing this man

Mahaaaaa the American comedians have always been held high for their impersonation excellence

Ahh, Candy was just an amazing comedian and human being. I enjoy ever time he was in front of the camera!!! Thank you. His Orson Wells was so darn funny!

This is absolutely hilarious! ! He's got Orson's demeanor and voice down pat!! This is comedy gold... Thanks for uploading 👍😉

"Your least favourite animal - lice" lmfao that floored me

Sometimes I forget the amazing talent of that man. Jesus... 25 years gone already

i Miss John Candy Made Me Laugh Always

Yes, ALWAYS! Holy shit, he nailed Orson! It’s like a continuation of Frozen Peas. Just stunning.

"What ever comes to your head... lice"

Candy was perfect in this.

WOW!!!! I've never seen this! Oh John Candy, we miss you. What a joy, for me to stumble on this bit of genius I've never seen before, didn't even know it existed... I got a little misty eyed

Spot on Orson Wells!

Candy was a genius!!!!

“Ahhhh the French champagne “

There is a Canadian actor named John Candy, inspiiiiired by that same French excellence.

John Candy was a genius, we miss you.

The only way to know for real is that John is actually taller. Best impression of Wells I have EVER seen.

I just can’t like this enough. John Candy is a legend!!

I love the idea that most people of my generation first heard the _”Yes, always...”_ line in that _Pinky & the Brain_ episode. And for me, it was another ten years before I found out it’s true meaning!

1:12 you can see “The Billy Crystal Comedy Hour” title card appear when Orson says he hopes to have his own show: “The Orson Welles Good Time Sunshine Hour and Magic Show.” That show would have been fantastic.

This was amazing. For a few minutes, I thought that was the real Orson Wells. In fact, I came to the comment section to see if others were saying the same thing……only to find out that’s really John Candy. What an actor….

John Candy had the facial expression of Welles down perfectly, as well as his mannerisms.

I've never seen this before and it's awesome! John Candy is a legend of comedy and his Orson Welles impression is spot on!

John Candy was amazing. There will never be anyone like him.

Only the good die young.. and he was one of the best.

Billy Crystals lives & John Candy taken before his time.

His Canadian accent comes out when he says "pocket" lol. John Candy did this pretty damn good!

Yes! Always!

I’m grinning the whole time. This is hilarious and how did I not know Billy Crystal had a show?

RIP JOHN CANDY & ORSON WELLES

Rosebud. Yes, Rosebud Frozen Peas full of country goodness and green pea-ness.

Good lord that is almost...haunting. John did a pitch perfect impression. Even the voice was damn close.

Green room... Food there. John Candy there. God bless Uncle Buck!

lmao holy shit he does look like orson welles

RIP John Candy and Orson Welles

He never played a role badly, regardless of what he was handed as a script he pulled it off and then some, RIP big John

The first time that I saw The Babe Ruth Story with John Candy as Babe Ruth on SCTV I was 19 and laughing so damn hard rolling around on the floor 😅 I thought I was going to DIE laughing!! True Story....

Orson and I have a big project in the works now. Who's Citizen Kanedy. Buddy film with Harry Crumb as hired private eye for Charles Kane. There is no concept of money or cost in heaven yet it still makes sense to film in Toronto. Go figure.

John Candy nailed Mr. Wells!

I loved John Candy! Miss him a lot!

Candy was nothing short of brilliant as Orsen Welles; captures Welles perfectly.

The great John Candy. I couldn't stop laughing.

That was a SPOT-ON impersonation of Orson Welles!

Laughing out tears, what a character, love 'ya John!!!!!!!!

OMG, he had him down pat. Look just like him. I miss John Candy, great talent.

We were blessed by greatness.

I loved John Candy. He was the first celebrity death that I cried over..actually mourned. The other was Robin Williams.

Absolutely brilliant! I love them both.

John Candy was the best sadly God always seems to take the best from us, always enjoyed every thing he did as performer and he truly is a great Canadian Icon.

I hope John can read the comments here. Pure reverence.

A legend impersonating a legend

Its amazing how much he looks and sounds like him

John candy! THE BEST COMIDAN EVER!

I had no idea Billy Crystal had a comedy hour.

Mahaaaaa John Candy hasalwaysbeenknownforhisexellence

Wow-he nailed it. This makes me love John even more. We lost an immense talent.

RIP John and Orson 😢
