    One of the few comedians that can really crack Johnny up, haven't seen Carson laugh so hard in a long time.

    This is where I learned this trick and trot it out at parties once in a while. This is the ep when the Great Placido Domingo (sitting next to Pollak) did Carson a favor by singing close to him so he could get an idea of how it felt to hear an opera singer standing right next to them. So he puts his hand on Carson's shoulder, sings the first line of Bella figlia de amore from Rigoletto, and Carson crosses his eyes while his mind is being blown.

    He not only does terrific impressions, but has really funny material as well. That “rubber face” description is what I always felt about Jim Carrey, when he did Clint Eastwood.

    Wow, I just happened to watch Kevin’s previous appearance yesterday and now this upload. Kevin is amazing. I’d say he’s underrated, but he’s had his share of amazing roles in very famous and successful movies.

    Pollak is one of my favorite character actor comics. One of my favorite roles of his was as one of the cut-throat alien businessmen in the old Disney World attraction Alien Encounter. Somehow all the mannerisms translate through all the makeup, it's fantastic.

    Peter Falk lost his right eye at the age of three to eye cancer ,rare but normally when very young children have eye cancer the diseased eye has to be removed.

    Johnny’s impression is horrible. He sounds like Bogart. Falk wasn’t nearly so guttural. Pollack gets the mid- and high-ranges right, which is key.
