Billy's impression of Ali has the audience laughing, not at Billy himself, but at Billy's perfect ability to emulate Ali's poetic humor, making Billy so invisible that you actually think you're laughing at Ali. That is extraordinary talent!

I was really surprised I have to say. Knew nothing of his relationship with Ali or of his ability from early days to do stand up and impressions. Back in the 70s there were some really good people doing impressions (Mike Yarwood is one name here in the UK that springs to mind), it was popular and you even had whole TV shows based around impressionists. Crystal put in a really good performance. As always it is a lot tougher to do when whoever you are impersonating is sitting right in front of you!

I was at this event. I was 14 years old. A lot of tears that night. What a memory.

While many people know about Billy Crystal's friendship with Ali, it is worth mentioning that when Crystal was in high school, he played pick up basketball games with a high school mate called Lew Alcindor, later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They remain friends to this day. Crystal's family ran a jazz store that produced and sold records of great artistes, including Louis Armstrong. Crystal's mother once told Armstrong, "Louis, it's okay. you can spit it out." You know where he gets his humor from! I encourage everyone to read Crystal's autobiography, 'Still Fooling' em'

Ali held anti-all-white beliefs which make me consider him a racist. Don't get me wrong, he's a hero. Not because he was a racist lmao, but because, yes, he did stand up for he believed in. He caused chaos, conflict. Even if he wasn't right, he prompted discussion using his ol' American freedom of speech. Through that conflict came growth and a societal paradigm shift to the point where we can now assume that a random person on the street is not racist. But don't glamorize the past. Problems exist in all eras, the 70s were not a period where everyone was somehow morally superior. Change is being made, and more problems keep coming up, but it's not a horrible world, it's a beautiful one we are lucky to be part of. And you're right, this is a great video, personally, I think it's the greatest on KZread. But still don't lose hope. If you want to find good in the world, you can. And in fact, thanks to 2019 (2020) and KZread, it's not that "Ali was" an inspiration, he still is one. If you want to say, well people are greedier now, or they care only about money and politics and drugs, I would say we as a species have always been the same - we want the same things, we have the same desires. Just the backdrop we've all been born into is different. I will say that I do think that technology has changed us, but that's more psychology than it is the devil. I know you specifically didn't crucify the present day that much, but your comments felt like they were part of the larger common attitude that is taken by people high on nostalgia.

When I was a young teen I did meet Mohammed Ali and it was memorable because it was like being struck by a lighting bolt he had so much charisma and charm -- everyone in the room was in awe because it was like the sun had just walked into the room and everyone felt overwhelm by the human warmth he had and how he just shined!!! I never will forget it -- I have never in my 40-years since that day encountered a human with more charisma or shine than him -- a beautiful soul! God bless him and his very special and loverly family, as well. May he RIP. The Greatest -- indeed!

Billy’s impressions of Ali were the Greatest of All Time!!!

Over the years I've watched this at least 10 times. Ali and Billy were good friends. I've never seen a better tribute. Billy Crystal's impressions of both Ali and Howard Cosell were immaculate. Btw there was a closeness between Ali and Howard that was very noticeable. A friendship which grew stronger as each year passed. Watching Ali in the background; I seriously doubt he ever laughed as hard or as much in such a short amount of time. The "Rocky" sound track playing at it concluded was sublime. Billy's words and emotions did justice to the great Muhammad Ali and on a level so high I doubt it will ever be matched. One has to wonder just how much effort Billy put into this. I'm sure it was monumental. Everything had to be perfect. I can only imagine how Ali felt. Billy showed so much admiration and respect for his improbable and extraordinary friend, especially so as he ended this impeccable and inspirational homage.

Great job Billy, great Ali impressions, great tribute. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 27th December 2023.

Billy is off the charts talented, what a tribute to Ali. Legend honoring another Legend.
