- Thanks for watching! This is a concert from way back in 2012, so apologies if the material seems dated. I hope you enjoy it BUT PLEASE also check out my more recent work. I put up at least one video a day, Celebrity Fortune Cookie, where I read a fortune in a different celeb voice, and other videos about acting, impressions, Professor Knestor, relationships with my family or just art in general.

No worries, man! I am rather immune to criticism, not because it is untrue, but because, speaking from the viewpoint of an entertainer, the technical perfection is irrelevant to my broader audience. I could find more flaws in my work than anyone else, but the overall effect is more satisfying to me that my earlier efforts, and so I choose to press on. So far, the majority are pleased. I hope you will be too.
JIM! DUDE I'VE NEVER HEARD OF YOU! TODAY IS MY FIRST TIME AND YOU ARE AWESONE EVEN THE JOKES ARE HILLARIOUS!!!!!🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌
In other words, as a true artist and entertainer, you are constantly honing your skills, even if you seem to imply that being perfect is less relevant than making it all work just so to give a stellar performance, which you do! You are an impressionist, like I haven't seen in recent memory. But that's because I forgot. I have short memory! No. just kidding, sort of. Anyway. You are what I would call, a "naturalistic" impressionist. Not taking away from Van Gogh, because you can't, simply because Van Gogh, has Gogn. So that doesn't matter anymore now.
But,,, you seem to have taken your skills to a level, where you have thought everything out, as far as the voice, personality and looks go, as compared to other impressionists over the years, who have just thrown it all out there and hope for the best. You may seem to imply you throw it out there, but to me, it's like you merely did your homework and do it right.
Hey more power to ya man
Vue Uw
Just some constructive criticism your Pacino is to oscar the grouch but pretty good
He looks like Steve Martin crossed with Sting
I'll accept that compliment! Thank you!
Does he ever !! can he do Sting? His Morgan Freeman is amazing. They're all amazing. He looks like De Niro when he does him.
Looks a little like Bryan Cranston also.
He looks like Bryan Cranston but with white hair
Agree. He also looks like Robin Williams.
No problem... I'm not in competition with any impressionists, I just enjoy doing them.
As a woman who does voice impersonation walken, brando, elvis, and Eddie Murphy is my talent to do you are very good at robin Williams
this was amazing man!!
I loved the timeline of Jack Nicholson's voice! That was excellent! Also, your Clooney is ridiculously good.
You know he's not reading these comments, right?
But he _is_ reading them! If you'd just have looked at how many of them he directly replied to already - preferably before you made an arse of yourself, but I guess that boat has sailed - you would've known that.
@@AnonYmous-jz5mx bullshit! Go look where he slightly roasted me lol
True that
Yeah that was brilliant!!!
he sure got Robin Williams down
It's horrible 😂
Its slightly good. But after the intial part it falls apart badly
yeah, that's about it
Williams was spot on... RIP
MrStephenARoberts, yes, it was. I was in shock. Very impressed.
MrStephenARoberts, yes, he was, that was crazy good.
He nailed that..... incredible....
MrStephenARo
You're nuts!
Wow. Mitt. That's a tough one. Nailed it.
When he did Robin William's voice, it sounded like the real Robin Williams. He is an amazing impressionist, I've never ever heard of him.
The dude somewhat looks like Robin as well.
he used to be on Whose Line is it Anyway.
Your Robin Williams is so good and DeNiro? You get that face too!! I'm a fan!!
Thanks very much! Appreciated!
After years of watching impressionists, I've never seen one who understands so well why 99% of them fail to a certain degree. Most simply overdo it; they go over the top, even if just slightly. That always make the audience feel that they are listening to the impersonated persons as they mock themselves. Not you. Your work is fantastic. It is polished, subtle and spot on. Congratulations!!
Very kind words, thanks so much. More to come!
I like how he explains the voice progression of Jack Nicholson :D
Thanks!
Brilliant!!!!
Jim, I had to forward this show to a very dear friend of mine earlier tonight... I hope he gets to see it and crack up as I have. I can't believe how versatile you are. If I were to close my eyes and listen to only your vocal imitations, it would be scary because your impressions are that good. And your facial expressions just kill the audience (in a good way!) Deniro, Walken and Pacino LOL. too many to recall. 😅😅👍👍
I wondered why I never heard of this guy.......2 minutes in, now I know why.👎🏻👎🏻
Well, sorry to hear that. You certainly are a sophisticated viewer.
The GW Bush was the funniest impression I’ve seen in years. Hats off to this man, and thanks for posting!
Wow! So glad you enjoyed it!
Agree
Robin Williams RIP
wow I'm in love!!! thank you!!please check out mine if u have a spare 4seconds
I thoroughly enjoyed watching him. Well dressed, great impressions and clean solid comedy. Now I need to see more of his work.
I'm so happy you found something in my old show to enjoy, Mr. Lincoln! So sorry I wasn't on the bill instead of Our American Cousin! But then, you still would have been up in the box without Kevlar...
@@jimmeskimen hahaha
His Al Pacino also sounds like 'Grover' from Sesame Street.
I thought it was cookie monster. Thanks for reminding me about Grover.
lol HE DOES
I was thinking the exact same thing. It was like Grover doing an impression of Pacino, but he was still mostly Grover.
Hey, Jim. I had a bad day today and I stumbled upon your YT channel. A good hearty laugh was all I needed to lift my spirits up and your impressions did it for me. Thank you so much..
You should watch Markipliers Early videos between 2012 and 2016. Like Five Nights at Freddy's, Outlast, Amnesia, The Midnight Man/Game, GTA 5. Those videos are hilarious.
The only newer videos of his that are still that funny are videos where he gets really mad at a game and loses his mind like he did in Getting over it with Bennet Fody. He did that in a lot of older videos too like I am Bread, Surgeon Simulator, Ragdoll Runners, and Soma
I can't believe I'm watching this now😁😁😅😅
I find it hard to believe, myself! However did you find it?
That George Clooney voice is impeccable
You're the best ahhaah! Your De Niro impression is simply awesome! Thanks for sharing your ability with us Jim.
Gosh more than the voices, you basically turn into the people with the faces that's insane! the Deniro, Spacey, Bush, and Robin Williams just perfect. Did you ever notice your Nicholson at 2:05 could just as easily be Bryan Cranston (Walter White!) lol
Ryan Ramirez True, true! Have you seen the episode of The Impression Guys (on the SoulPancake Channel) where Ross Marquand and I do the Breaking Bad stars in a kids animated TV show?
No, i haven't yet but i definitely am about to check it out!
Ryan Ramirez ~ wow,👍yes!
"I'm a unique person, some people wish I was even uniquer, that there wasn't even one of me".George W. Bush.
Why should I be offended? One day I hope to be good. Until then, I'll just continue to struggle as a gifted amateur.
you got this, man, amazing work
I thought that Morgan Freeman and George Clooney were absolutely incredible. Also the way that you transform not only your voice but your facial expressions! Amazing
Thanks! I do the Blue Genie for other Disney projects, but Dan did a great job on the film and the series. For a long time it was frowned on for him to do an impression of Robin's genie, but that got lifted for some of the work I've gotten to do. Dan could have certainly "Robin-ified" his characterization if called for.
Really good Robin Williams and young Nicholson. The Ron Paul and Mitt Romney impressions were pretty good too. Keep it up!
"De Nero's different......I'm not happy."
Hahaha I lost it.
Jim, you've got these impressions on lock, keep it up.
Izakk Welsh Thanks!
He looks like Brian Cranston! :)
He looks like Christopher Lambert when he played Raiden
Denis Santos *Bryan
His jack Nicolson also sounds like Brian Cranston
@@codystein7743 yes, exactly Brian Cranston if he just adds some stuff from BB and screams at Jessy will be spot on.
DeNiro killed me lol. Also Robin Williams was great and Romney was spot on!! "...just surprised he got this far." Ha!
I was looking on his IMDB and he is one very busy actor and voice actor and yet with all the stuff that he has going on he still has time to make yt videos.
George Dubya Bush was spot on! Genius!
Great impressions with solid material woven in. The pros know what they're doing. Well done.
Al Pacino was pretty bad.... everything else was great though!
+Malo Perverso his Pacino was too low in pitch
+Malo Perverso Thought he sounded like the cookie monster from Sesame Street!
+Eddie4518 Bwahahahaha
Eddie4518 lmao me too
Right. It felt a little exaggerated.
wow robin williams and W.. Brilliant!
Not only are you an excellent mimic but you’re smart. You don’t do impressions just for the sound, you make it interesting, it’s a lost art that seems to be returning and I’ve missed it.
Thanks, Jo~ I appreciate it very much.
His young Jack Nicholson was more like Christian Slater. His Nurse Ratched Jack Nicholson was more like Bryan Cranston
He should work on a STING impression! yeh?
Gregory
He could be the entire starring cast of a movie.
LOL!!! Thats crazy but true.
So glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate what you wrote. I'm going to continue to try and dazzle, and I hope I hear from you again!
Damn sorry that audience was dead
great Robin Williams and Jack Nicholson, I would love to see Jim do George Carlin.
My opinion is this: Your impressions are real...which means you sound like them without sounding like you´re imitating them. Many impressionists do over exaggerate their impressions for comedic effect. Which usually(and unfortunately) means people tend to believe what they see and hear easier than what is actually an uncanny impression. A really good special effect in a movie is never seen. What I´m saying sir, is that you are incredibly good at what you do:)
That Robin Williams impression... DAMN! Why didn't this guy voice Genie in "Return of Jafar"? It would have been a much less jarring difference than Dan Castellaneta!
Brilliant Nicholson
Great guy great job
Never seen anyone impersonation Clooney. Wow that's amazing.
All I ever knew about Frank Gorshin was that he was the Riddler on “Batman”! He was an impressionist?!
I love how you own the stage when performing. It shows practice and love of your craft, along with a wonderful stage presence and charisma.
You sound more like Hong Kong Phooey then Al Pacino lol
Yeah, the Pacino was a little too..Animal from The Muppets, but the rest were very good especially the 3 degrees of Nicholson.
DeNiro, Pacino and Walker was perfection
Here because of Benny Johnson running a clip on his impression of Joe Bidone #bennyjohnson
Wow, thanks for taking the time to articulate your observations. I really am happy you like what I've been doing. I hope you can see the show live sometime. It's even better. Thanks again!
Jim, Absolutely fantastic! You are very good. Impersonators are my favorite form of entertainment. We are going to Vegas again and while we are there we will see Gordie Brown for the 4th time. In the past we have also gone to see Danny Gans, Rich Little and the Edwards Twins. Keep up the good work! I wish you could get your own Vegas show!!
Thanks for noticing that... I'm a huge fan of Jack's.
That last joke about Obama I laughed so hard I start crying
Awesome. His Pacino sounds more like cookie monster than Pacino.
Guilty as charged. I did a YT video about that, BTW.
loafungusOM i thought the same thing
Jim Meskimen Maybe there oughta be a Cookie Monster/Pacino smashup... as if they're...the same thing. "The Cookie Monster is: Scarface!"
Paul Jackino yes. a desk with ground up chocolate chip cookie dust!
I liked Paul Giamatti in Saving Private Ryan, Big Fat Lyer, and San Andreas.
I'm very happy to hear that I was able to help you lift your spirits. Please come again, with or without a bad day behind you!
excellent voices, but just not very funny. sorry.
I've only just heard of this impressionist ( through RUclips recommendations ), and i think he's brilliant , I'll be watching a lot more of him.
Very happy you enjoyed this. I hope you will enjoy my more recent works. Cheers!
Great great stuff. Pacino could be better. not that I can do 10% of that haha. Robin Williams is the best
...cause he's got Indonesia... Lolz. All day long. Thank you, Jim.
So glad you like it. I did that joke about 150 times in front of audiences and they always laughed hard. I'm not a stand up, but I pay attention to those things when I'm lucky enough to score like that. Thanks for the kind comment!
@@jimmeskimen you are on your way to the top. I feel your talent shines and hope you get the recognition you deserve.
I thank you, again for the laughter. It truly is the BEST medicine.
I'm a female over twelve, and I, too, have done the illustrious Walken.
The Tommy Lee Jones was impressive.
I love TLJ. Thanks for watching.
On a cowboy hat and imitate country singers to get attention on that show. keep up the good work, Jim
how come I'd never heard of this dude until i discovered the impressions myself??? this guy is amazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing
After watching America's Got Talent this season, people must be crazy not to vote Jim through. I guess Jim has to put ona
This guy is Better than most but Frank Caliendo is king!
Long live King Caliendo!
All of your impressions were spot on! But I think you need to work a bit more on your Pacino voice. By the way, are there any impressions that are harder for you? Or do they all require the same amount of work?
Great stuff Jim! I don't think I've ever heard another impressionist cover as many people as you do!
Paul Catania check out Frank Caliendo
His Robin Williams didn't get the reaction it deserved.
Well, he was still alive at this time, so that has something to do with it. Thanks for watching my video, Josh!
that walken was good.
Apart from the amazing impressions, this guy has a very cute face as well. An attractive personality
Very nice of you to say. Thanks for watching. I hope you will enjoy some of my more recent work. My face is still cute, after all these years, if a big more crinkled.
His Robin Williams is great but the Pacino is way off
I think his Robin Williams one was pretty good, but the Pacino one is.....just bad.
You're right - Pacino sucks.
you are wrong. you dont know a lot about Pacino. He is doing the Middle age Pacino. young Pacino was DIFFRRENT from the OLD pacino, so You were probably EXpeCTING a different age of Pacino. If you NOTICE, PAcino changed his voice over the years.
Omg this guy is really good!
Pretty weird, huh? That's what I was doing when I made my Tommy Lee Jones Recites Hamlet's Advice to the Player King video..
Hey, why can't ObAmA find his birth certificate? He has Indonesia...
Glad you enjoyed that!
Love child of Aaron Eckhart ...Bryan Cranston!!
i keep hearing robin williams.
Caliendo and I are now friends, and I admire him a lot. Thanks for the kind words!
Jim is the best impressionist .
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words very much. I hope you will enjoy some of my more recent work, too. All the best!
Dr. Phil needs some work, himself. Thanks!
Superb. please do Bob Dylan.
Try this... a bit out of date, but it's 100% pure fake Dylan: ruclips.net/video/Jzk2Sj41Hww/видео.html
Awesome! Thanks for commenting!
Pretty awesome man...you are funny and very talented...awesome impressions
I appreciate it, Robert! Thanks for watching this, and I hope you'll check out my more recent stuff!
Thanks, man. Sorry it took so long to reply to your kind message.
Robin Williams was the best!
This is amazing quality from 2012 🤩
Thanks for saying that!
Well, you are welcome! I'm not sure why either, but I'm glad you found my channel! If you are in LA, I hope you will make it out to see my show on June 2 at The Acting Center. If you Google the theater, you can find all the info on their site. Thanks for saying hello!
Hey Jim,. yr awesome. I wonder if you can do Billy Joel's version of "It's Just a Fantasy" sung by Elmer Fudd? I always wanted to make that request of an impressionist.
That last joke was too smart for George W. Bush to come up with. 😂
Jim, you're awesome, thank you for making me laugh when I'm in the middle of a stomach virus, I needed the laugh.
Stomach virus? Yeah right try a coronavirus!!
So many reasons to be grateful to you! It’s like a magician only better! I’m so happy more people are doing it again! Ed Sullivan had them on all the time rhen it disappeared!!! Makes so happy!!
I was watching it and thinking, wow he's good but then when he said "De Niro" I was "WHAT?!" he is truly AMAZING.
+Jhully Amilly Marangoni Thanks, Jhully! I'm Jhappy you enjhoyed it! Best wishes, Jhim!
+Jim Meskimen hahaha you legend, taking the piss out of my name.. I'll be jhonest, I'd make fun of it too, if it wasn't mine.
Thanks, Jouni! Where do you come from?
Your Jack Nicholson is awesome!! Love your videos!!
Hey! Thank you! Appreciated!
Great Morgan Freeman! That's one that's been a personal challenge for me and I've never come close.
Your Tommy Lee Jones is freaking phenomenal... I think your Patrick Stewart will be equally good if you tried...
Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it!
His Christopher Walken is kind of flat but his Robin Williams, OMG.
Flat Walken is a good name for a band, no? Thanks for the kind word about Robin, anyway.
Excellent Morgan Freeman, likely the best of them all, in my view!! I was very surprised there wasn't a much louder response from the audience.
Thank you! The audience was not properly mic'd by this crew, but they were pretty responsive from where I stood.
@@jimmeskimen - Oh, good to know!
