He's other worldly funn, isn't he? I have said, to my sock puppet Leo (my only friend) that, "Leo, I betcha if they compared Sam Kinison's voice print with Craig's when he's doing Sam...they would almost match completely!
Gotta disagree. Heard him from the old 90s stern, and he sucks, didn't last very long, annoying with his alpachnio's baby, voice. Much better comics. Especially in the span of "Underrated". Dave Atell is much better. Or hell even earthquake. Many names to list. Joey Diaz is another underrated, apart from the podcast, guy is a renegade of comedy. As Craigs show suggests, which i didn't detect sarcasm by the way. "The Worst Comedy Show EVER" Not the worst, but up there as crap.
@@Prof.Pwnalot You're entitled to your opinion but I don't agree with it. Craig impressions are excellent but it's his hilarious story telling that sets him apart. His recount of his time spent living at Eddie Van Halen's place in Hollywood never fails to make me laugh.
I was listening to this on the pandora app last night walking around with the floor buffer in the Emergency Room, I had to bite my lip from laughing. I almost lost ... no I lost my shit people are hurt going through a bad time and I am hurting myself from laughing at this story. It was a shit night and I needed this.
Just found this guy today while searching for Christopher Walken impressions. Yeah, I live in Norway, and he's not exactly known here (but he should be). Point being: I got a new comedy hero.
globalklaus also note, both his parents AND his sister are deaf. he taught himself how to talk by watching tv. he did it by copying the voices he heard. turned out to be a great talent!
I have a mega crush on Craig. He not only does the best impressions, weaves a helluva story, makes the world laugh & smile, but he is so intelligent, sexy, & kind hearted. ❤️
Just watched a copy of that old 2001 E! episode where Craig came out in makeup to harass Gene. Jesus, hearing the back story makes the whole thing even better!
Truth is always stranger than fiction. Gene Simmons embraced the whole thing and even had Craig roast him for charity. I wish Howard Stern would grow a couple and be great again.
These were classic Howard Stern shows with the brilliant Craig Gass doing his Gene Simmons shtick. I still hear the repeats of these old shows and laugh my ass off!!!
How win in a fight against Gene Simmons, drop some change on the ground and when he goes to pick it up "Jersy" him and fill him in with uppercuts. If you're not a fighter then just throw the change into traffic. Problem solved one less greedy fucktard that wrote shitty music while wearing platforms and make up the World has to live without.
This is IT. The real Gene Simmons, enjoying all the upsides, without putting up with the downsides. Thank you Craig, and keep your Al Pacino's impressions for other occasions.👍
I had just watched Bert Kreischer on Joe Rogan's show talking about his run in with Gene and he mentioned this. I didn't know Craig had this video but youtube dropped it into my recommended list and I have not laughed this hard in a while. I've worked in film and television and had my own odd encounters (both good and bad) but nothing this funny.
Do you watch the Anthony cumia show on compound media? Cuz I watched ants interview with Craig and then RUclips put this in my recommendation. Burts run in with gene is a funny ass story
@@timothycormier3494 It's been awhile since watching something with Anthony Cumia. Maybe? I see I wrote that about a year ago, so it's possible. It's funny sometimes what the youtube algorithm drops in the recommended list. There was just this convergence of Gene Simmons stories that were hilarious. For awhile I was working at A&E during the first few seasons of Family Jewels and could really picture these stories vividly.
@@seaninness334 yeah I only mention it because I know that’s how it came into my feed. Craig tells part of the gene story on the Anthony cumia show and i did go searching for more. Either way, funny funny content. Comedy makes my world go round!
The line about KISS Headquarters had me on the floor. I am still laughing. Have you guys heard his Artie Lange show story about the KISS Cruise and the iceberg? If you haven’t prepare to piss your pants laughing. It is the funniest shit ever.
With that voice and impressions why are you not working in voice acting for video games or anime? If no is it something you may want to explore in the near future or are you just staying to just one thing for now?
Craig Gass must be heartbroken since Gene Simmons from KISS publicly announced that he has no friends . I just read Dimebag Darrell was buried with Eddie Van Halen's Bumblebee guitar in a KISS Kasket .
One of funniest things ever was when Craig dressed up like Gene makeup and all while Howard Stern interviewed the real Gene Simmons, the whole time Gene was just sitting there Craig was cracking jokes. Freaking hilarious..
gary sounds like al pacino here ... Gene living up to his heritage ..... imagine how much bigger the grand canyon would be if Gene dropped a quarter in a crack there!
Craig Gass has got to be one of the most underrated stand up comedians in the United States. He's brilliant!
He's other worldly funn, isn't he? I have said, to my sock puppet Leo (my only friend) that, "Leo, I betcha if they compared Sam Kinison's voice print with Craig's when he's doing Sam...they would almost match completely!

@@Prof.Pwnalot why did you write your comment as if it were a free form poem
he is one of the funniest human beings ever.
This is essentially the greatest Gene Simmons story in history.
I thought the best description I have heard of Gene is that he is the Krusty the Clown of real life
Absolutely OMG - It Never gets old. Todd Gass is a comedic genius
You mean . KISSTORY!😆
I love this type of comedy. Small room, tight crowd, and someone with actual personality telling some well crafted jokes
Gene Simmons has never been in a fight in his life.
I could listen to a 2 hour Craig Gass special of just the Gene Simmons and Lars Ulrich impressions.
I was listening to this on the pandora app last night walking around with the floor buffer in the Emergency Room, I had to bite my lip from laughing.
I almost lost ... no I lost my shit people are hurt going through a bad time and I am hurting myself from laughing at this story.
It was a shit night and I needed this.
This was outstanding.
Amazing story. But his impression of Gary sounds an awful lot like his impression of Al Pacino. Which is spot on.
Just found this guy today while searching for Christopher Walken impressions. Yeah, I live in Norway, and he's not exactly known here (but he should be). Point being: I got a new comedy hero.
globalklaus i saw him live last week. if you ever find yourself in the states, try to go see his show. hilarious.
globalklaus also note, both his parents AND his sister are deaf. he taught himself how to talk by watching tv. he did it by copying the voices he heard. turned out to be a great talent!
One of the funniest stand up bits to date!
He does Paul stanley pretty damn good too.
I like his Paul imitation better than his Gene!
I have a mega crush on Craig. He not only does the best impressions, weaves a helluva story, makes the world laugh & smile, but he is so intelligent, sexy, & kind hearted. ❤️
"I got a new kids on the block lunchbox and wrote KISSSSSSS across the front" hahahahaahahahaha
Craig Gass is just so effing hilarious. He cracks me up every time he opens his mouth. He seems like a very likable guy too.
Where's some of his other good content?
Where Was This Filmed? In A Double Wide Trailer?!
Lol! Exactly what I was thinking!
It's supposed to look that way... I filmed it in a dive bar, that's why it's called "The Worst Comedy Show EVER".
Or a wood paneled basement...
Single wide.
Just watched a copy of that old 2001 E! episode where Craig came out in makeup to harass Gene. Jesus, hearing the back story makes the whole thing even better!

The Baba Booey impression sounds like young Al Pacino, who Gass also does
DaveShmadeCalabria thought the same. Love his Pacino impression.
Baba sounds like this though.
I knew this comment would exist. I thought so too
Craig Gass is killer...his Eddie Van Halen story had me gasping for air
Truth is always stranger than fiction.
Gene Simmons embraced the whole thing and even had Craig roast him for charity.
I wish Howard Stern would grow a couple and be great again.
YOU DESERVE A 10MILLION DOLLAR HBO SPECIAL
3:05 Craig sounded identical to Will Ferrell. I'd love to see him try it out.
I heard it and I thought I had heard that voice. You nailed it.
one of the best stand up bits i've listened to in a while
Gene Simmons pushed me in the back at LAX after agreeing to let me take a selfie. I have a blurry pic to prove it.
These were classic Howard Stern shows with the brilliant Craig Gass doing his Gene Simmons shtick. I still hear the repeats of these old shows and laugh my ass off!!!
Love the decor in this place... very classy joint
I can't believe I've never heard him before. Best standup I've heard in ages. This guy is hilarious!
The BOOEY impression is what makes this video.
Ha! A Gsry Dell' Abate impression! I love it. Btw, both of these incidents were on the E! show, and both are available on RUclips.
I remember this moment on the HS show, I've heard gene is an absolutely terrible man to everyone so oh well
Classic Craig Gass. Pure gold brother.
Gene is from the tribe. He doesn’t throw fists, he threatens litigation. Period !
Straight from the tRump playbook.

@effinghamhick Snowflake tRumpanzee.
man this is really good
This is one of the greatest bits ever! I heard this dozens of times n its still funny🤣😂🤣
Some hysterical stuff....Thanks.
"Oh, I know your mom..."
Haha great vid thanks for the upload fella
I honestly haven’t laughed this hard in a while
Great stuff. Best impressionist around!
Hi This is gene Simmons from KISS😂😂
Who books the shed at the trailer park?
Is his producer Al Pacino
After years, this is still gold
BEST 15 MINUTES OF MY LIFE
Hahahahaah😂😂😂😂😂😂holy shit! How have I never heard this whole story!! I got part of the story on TACS. But this is priceless!! Thank you Craig!!
This guy is FU#KING HILARIOUS !
I've heard these stories and seen the Stern clips but this version made me crack up a lot lol.
My sister was at this show!
Yes I know :-P
how has Craig NOT gotten a Netflix or HBO special
This is IT. The real Gene Simmons, enjoying all the upsides, without putting up with the downsides.
Thank you Craig, and keep your Al Pacino's impressions for other occasions.👍
I loved when this guy did a few episodes on King of Queens Great Character
That is where I discovered him. Ever since then, I have been a huge fan!!!
So great
I love this guy
That was HILARIOUS!!!

Gene isn't going to kick anyones ass. Probably hasnt been in a fight in 50 years.
@Abe Garfield well he did have a godawful sextape.
This is golden. Definitely a hall of Famer. I can't breathe!!!😆😆😆😵
Craig is the real gene simmons
Now that was too funny … glad I watched made my morning Thank You
now that was hilarious!!!
Spot ON!!!
Made my day. Thanks from London 🇬🇧😂😂
This is greatness.
With that voice and impressions why are you not working in voice acting for video games or anime? If no is it something you may want to explore in the near future or are you just staying to just one thing for now?
9:15 Smooth bro. Smooth.
Juggy Gales ladies and gentlemen
I remember this back when it aired FUCKING CLASSIC DUDE that shit had to Spike the listeners cause I know everyone watched that
Fuck, this got more and more hilarious by the minute. Haha! Too good Craig.
Brilliant!
My all time favorite was Evil Dave Letterman
That was fuckin awesome!!!
🤘😆🤟
First time I heard this, I was on a burn run and couldn't stop laughing.
Best. Story. Ever. This comedic genius is so underrated!
I caught this talking about impersonating Gene Simmons in costume..the interview is equally funny
master story teller, I was actually gasping for air...funny
What a great storyteller!
This is fucking epic, Graig Gass is awesome.
No one can tell a story like this dude
I ended up loving Artie, but I was really hoping for you to get the job back in the day.
Craig Gass must be heartbroken since Gene Simmons from KISS publicly announced that he has no friends . I just read Dimebag Darrell was buried with Eddie Van Halen's Bumblebee guitar in a KISS Kasket .
This is Gene Simmons from............... KISSSSS
Did anybody else sing the title of this in the style of "Blood and Thunder" by Mastodon.
I love this bit lol but he sounds more like Gene's character, Joe Adler, from Extract
Domanic B love that movie!
9:14 that's some glorious clevage, man, just take a quick peek
That's some old lady boobs fam
I named my first pet Gene Simmons
balls out funny!
I know Howard's trying to scrub his past, so does anyone know where I can find these videos?
What’s the deal with Stern these days? I heard he’s gone all weird
This guy is good. Very highly rated according to the comedian ratings services.
All the comedian rating services, or just some?
@@SPAMDAGGER22 Funny you should ask, All of them, based on extensive research from the Comedians International Guild Of Comedic Ratings...
I wish Gene would do it soon.
That producer is like Doc Brown from back to the future mixed with Al Pacino.
Mr. Craig Gass, love your Christopher Walken impression.
So, what's your favorite movie he's made..? Deer Hunter?, Biloxi Blues?, or..?
One of funniest things ever was when Craig dressed up like Gene makeup and all while Howard Stern interviewed the real Gene Simmons, the whole time Gene was just sitting there Craig was cracking jokes. Freaking hilarious..
I really think Craig is the best impressionist. Love Pollack and them but this guy is awesome. Very funny story tell as well.
This is funny, I wish there was more stories about trolling musicians like this, or just Kiss members.
Craig Gass deserves much bigger venues than whatever this is.
I love this story
I watched that episode of stern. How is CG not super famous. He has to be in the top 10 funniest people .
Dats some funny sheet right dere...
gary sounds like al pacino here ... Gene living up to his heritage ..... imagine how much bigger the grand canyon would be if Gene dropped a quarter in a crack there!
This fuckn room looks like a house from the movie THE VILLAGE
5:53 YES
