'Dead Ringers' impressionist Jon Culshaw making (I believe to be) his first appearance on the BBC Parkinson talk show in the early 2000's. Featured impressions include: Frank Bruno, Patrick Moore, Russel Crowe and Steve Irwin
He's too much! I can't believe that I learned of his existence less than four months ago. He's absolutely brilliant and his talents transcend just doing impressions. I feel privileged to live in the time of Jon Culshaw.
@@adamglasgow9268 I always thought Frank Gorshin was a great impressionist. His facial expressions of Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas were very good without him uttering a word. He played the part of the 'Riddler' in the 1960s Batman TV series.
@@martinplatt5928 ... I just found the live footage of Frank Gorshin you mentioned from 1977, and he builds such a totally accurate imitation of Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas that the resemblance is so far beyond mimicry, it's bordering on creepy in its absolute genius. He isn't just caricaturing in the way that Jim Carrey would, but channelling them - being them. Enjoy ... 🤗 ... : - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q-l02-HRv1s.html
@ 5:08 - Patrick Moore was lovely man - I still miss him on The Sky At Night. Jon's impression of Patrick was spot on. It always makes me smile when Jon guests occasionally on The Sky At Night and does it on there.
The interview with Sir Patrick had me in fits of laughter. Thought provoking about the story where Culshaw phoned no. 10 pretending to be William Hague, not expecting to get through, but then surprisingly got through. Kind of mirrors the prank call the Australian radio presenters made to the hospital, pretending to be the royal family, also not expecting to get through, but got through. Both prank calls were meant as harmless jokes. One resulted in hilarity, the other tragedy.
Excellent, and I love it that Jon Culshaw recognises the great Mike Yarwood as his inspiration. Of cause Mike could sing in character as well, not sure I've ever seen Jon do that.
Man...Culshaw is on a whole different level to other impressionists. His Steve Urwin and John Peel are spooky accurate. His range is totally unbelievable. Easily easily the best impressionist. Lennox Lewis...who else does Lennox Lewis!!
this guy is a legend ive never laughed so much his impressions are spot on when i heared frank bruno and lennox lewis and chris eubank i was week with laughter allways a real pleasure to watch this incredible talent of jon culshaw.
I used to prank call investment firms on 0800 numbers back in the early 90s doing my impression of Billy Connelly,, 😂😂😂 I'm glad I wasn't the only one ❤️👍
I'm really surprised Jon Culshaw didn't do his famous Eamonn Holmes impression during the interview, since he was actually sitting next to the man himself. Culshaw does a brilliant take-off of him.
Eamon Holmes sued jon Culshaw after Holmes saw a sketch tgst Culshaw did about eating, the Holmes line in the sketch is am hungry so i am. And Holmes consulted his lawyers
I'm surprised this video hasn't been removed by RU-vid because it contains a Rolf reference. Loads of Savile related videos have been removed, particularly the Louis Theroux interview documentary. Ridiculous really because people need to see how he duped an entire nation and learn from that rather than it being swept under the carpet out of fear.
John Culshaw , He's brilliant, His parents must be so proud of his achievements, I loved Mike Yarwood , But this guy is the new kid on the universal block.
@ifyouwantbochin Mmm, I think I may have made a mistake in the description tbh. I can't be sure, but this may indeed be his first Parkinson interview so I'll update the info :-]
Mark Perryman not at all, the description said this interview was from the early 2000s, and his crimes didn’t come out until the early 2010s.... he even did a portrait for the Queen in 2005/2006ish... so at the time this was recorded none of the public were any the wiser. If I remember right, it was also well before any of the Savile allegations, which is what largely kicked off the investigations into Harris and others.
I seemed to remember something like that happening and I thought it was just me , but when John first came on at the beginning of this clip Eamon made some barbed comment and now that makes sense !
