My dad was the son of Italian immigrants, yet be had similar albums (Jonathan Winters, Bob Newgart for xample( and I, born in '62, loved the impressionist (Frank Gorshin, could not het inn to Rich Little). I loved SCTV and especially Dave Thomas inpressions.
Best Dave Thomas interview.
Grace under fire is a great show. How bret butler is abused is horrific. If she were erring, In reality we help people. Bret was treated like a psycho. I dont believe hierarchy stories.
I've liked Dave since I was a kid
Dave! One last impression, and little makeup needed: Christopher Walken!!!
