For anyone doesn't know, Ryan Stiles is a Male improv comedian who impersonated Carol Channing frequently on Who's Line Is It Anyway as hosted by Drew Carey. For many of us born in the 80s and 90s it was our first introduction to her which gave us a name. Of course she did voice the unflappable Ms. Fieldmouse in the Berry Manilow penned children's classic Thumbelina, we didn't necessarily know her name.

I saw this incarnation of "Hello, Dolly". I can't believe that it was that long ago. My friend and I bought tickets to see the Broadway show, simply because we wanted to be able to say that we saw Carol Channing on Broadway and one of her iconic roles. She was definitely inhibited by her age (when they did the high kicks during a musical #, she didn't even reach past her knees). But the audience did not care. They applauded vociferously and wildly whenever she simply walked on stage. This remains one of the greatest theatrical moments in my life. God Bless Carol Channing.

Carol is brilliant in a scripted show and without a script she is fantastic! Conan handles the interview beautifully!

She seems like the sweetest person.

RIP MS CHANNING

I always thought that was so sweet of Conan to console Carol, and not let know her know the audience was chuckling at the "doing me" quote at 6:15. You could see she was a little embarrassed and he changed the subject perfectly.

Carol is everyone’s grandma

So this is who Ryan was talking about the whole time.

A true LEGEND.

Channing and O'Brien know how to set 'em up and knock 'em down brilliantly! What a madcap, fresh, improvisatory conversation!

God, I remember watching her on talk shows in the late 60s, early 70s plugging Hello Dolly. She got a lot of mileage out of that show/song.

I do a decent Carol Channing impression. It started in college to disturb a friend. It's Carol singing Monty Python's "Sit on My Face." The consonant order in that song is perfect for her speech affectations.

He eventually DID meet her....and he posted the photos from the mid-90s....around the time when Conan's interview took place...reposted on his FB page this week. Carol died at age 97 a few days ago.

People would walk out after she treated them so nice ,the door would close and she would look at my father and say THANK GOD she's gone .wonk wonk wonk , she talks my ear off about the.

Anyone else seee the tic Tok of Bryan’s impression so now your here?
