Jon Culshaw - Parkinson interview
Ойын-сауық
'Dead Ringers' impressionist Jon Culshaw making (I believe to be) his first appearance on the BBC Parkinson talk show in the early 2000's. Featured impressions include: Frank Bruno, Patrick Moore, Russel Crowe and Steve Irwin

Just heard of this guy now. Too often I am disappointed by impressionists but this guy is extremely talented and has all the nuances down.
Sir Patrick Moore was such a good sport!
Patrick Moore was genius
Amazing talent
No other impressionist can touch him for utter brilliance.
Eamonn laughing it up until Culshaw did him and he found it so funny he got the lawyers in
When Jon Culshaw talks it feels like he's doing an impression of Jon Culshaw
Parkinson really was the king of chat shows. Such a classy man and amazing with his guests.

None better!
'claims direct' send-up sketch at the beginning was FCUKING HILARIOUS!
as often as I've watched this the two Patrick Moore's bickering make me cry laughing EVERY time 🤣🤣🤣🤣💕✌
He's too much! I can't believe that I learned of his existence less than four months ago. He's absolutely brilliant and his talents transcend just doing impressions. I feel privileged to live in the time of Jon Culshaw.
The Ian Hislop impression at 2:50 was freaking terrifying. It came out of nowhere and was spot on!
He s so talented and so modest with it.The best at what he does
The word genius is overused sometimes, but Culshaw is a 100% genuine genius. His speed of thought is frightening

@@adamglasgow9268 I always thought Frank Gorshin was a great impressionist. His facial expressions of Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas were very good without him uttering a word. He played the part of the 'Riddler' in the 1960s Batman TV series.

Absolutely brilliant.
I can't be the only one who was hoping he would do an impression of Parkinson, like he did on dead ringers
Oh man i love John Culshaw!
The Chris Eubank impression was brilliant.
This is pure genius comedy. Love Frank Bruno. Frank Bruno is great in real life. Keep strong Frank every body loves you.

@ 5:08 - Patrick Moore was lovely man - I still miss him on The Sky At Night. Jon's impression of Patrick was spot on. It always makes me smile when Jon guests occasionally on The Sky At Night and does it on there.
No idea how he does this. What a talented guy...
Brilliant interview (well it's Parki' so of course) and brilliant Culshaw - what a truly fabulous and spontaneous entertainer !
culshaw is brilliant, a great inspiration for me
Great fun and Jon Culshaw seems to be enjoying himself as much as everyone else!
He is the master of impersonation.
I used to prank call investment firms on 0800 numbers back in the early 90s doing my impression of Billy Connelly,, 😂😂😂 I'm glad I wasn't the only one ❤️👍
The interview with Sir Patrick had me in fits of laughter. Thought provoking about the story where Culshaw phoned no. 10 pretending to be William Hague, not expecting to get through, but then surprisingly got through. Kind of mirrors the prank call the Australian radio presenters made to the hospital, pretending to be the royal family, also not expecting to get through, but got through. Both prank calls were meant as harmless jokes. One resulted in hilarity, the other tragedy.
8:10 that emphatic hand gesture was on point !🤛🏼
Mr. Culshaw always puts a smile on my face.
Simply the best
Man...Culshaw is on a whole different level to other impressionists. His Steve Urwin and John Peel are spooky accurate. His range is totally unbelievable. Easily easily the best impressionist. Lennox Lewis...who else does Lennox Lewis!!
brilliant impressionist does a great tom baker and ossy osborne,
Excellent, and I love it that Jon Culshaw recognises the great Mike Yarwood as his inspiration. Of cause Mike could sing in character as well, not sure I've ever seen Jon do that.

Sadly Mike wasn't very good, but he was the only one doing impressions in the 70s.
What a nice bloke, very talented empresionist,
He is the best,bar none!
Jon is a genius
There are not enough superlatives to describe how talented Jon Culshaw is.
Wow these are spot on. The Ian Hislop is brilliant
Jon Culshaw it's should be Sir Jon Culshaw he is fantastic I can not stop laughing when he is on television,
That was wonderful.....whats happened to our Saturday night tv entertainment....we need more stuff like this back.....
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!
...the well inserted (fnarr, fnarr!) Frank Bruno impression was a gem!
Noice when he did the great Steve Irwin, his whole face suddenly became that very person. Amazing. 😀
Parky really loves his interviews love to read his biography
this guy is a legend ive never laughed so much his impressions are spot on when i heared frank bruno and lennox lewis and chris eubank i was week with laughter allways a real pleasure to watch this incredible talent of jon culshaw.

I'm really surprised Jon Culshaw didn't do his famous Eamonn Holmes impression during the interview, since he was actually sitting next to the man himself. Culshaw does a brilliant take-off of him.

Shear brilliance ! by the great John Culshaw.
I loved the Tom Baker bits he did with the real Tom Baker!
Imagine having him at your fucking dinner party..
Love Jon Cuslhaw!
so so talented
Brilliant.
RIP Patrick moore
John Culshaw , He's brilliant, His parents must be so proud of his achievements, I loved Mike Yarwood , But this guy is the new kid on the universal block.
Brilliant!!

I'm surprised this video hasn't been removed by KZread because it contains a Rolf reference. Loads of Savile related videos have been removed, particularly the Louis Theroux interview documentary. Ridiculous really because people need to see how he duped an entire nation and learn from that rather than it being swept under the carpet out of fear.

That must have been one of Patrick Moore's final appearances in a proper TV studio, as his later Sky At Nights were made at his home.
That Russell Crowe impersonation sounds just like Alan Johnson from Peep Show.

great made me laugh
Not since Mike Yarwood, have we seen such an almost perfect skit of the current crop of celebrities. (hate that word),
To be fair Aammon had arthritis in both hips that's probably why he kept moving his legs . Had two hip replacements now . I like the bloke .
I get the feeling that he's doing a character when he's supposed to be speaking as himself
@ifyouwantbochin Mmm, I think I may have made a mistake in the description tbh. I can't be sure, but this may indeed be his first Parkinson interview so I'll update the info :-]
"I told you he was good" says Parky being classic Parky
insane!
His Tom Baker is SPOT ON! 😀👏👏👏
Brilliant Steve Irwin haha

Jon Culshaw did his own Fonejacker
Genius.

Mark Perryman not at all, the description said this interview was from the early 2000s, and his crimes didn’t come out until the early 2010s.... he even did a portrait for the Queen in 2005/2006ish... so at the time this was recorded none of the public were any the wiser. If I remember right, it was also well before any of the Savile allegations, which is what largely kicked off the investigations into Harris and others.

Jon said he wasn't going to sue him, but just got his lawyers to get the impression stopped. But Jon could just be being kind.
