I asked if he was still doing the yo-yo thing. He said yes and actually pulled a yo-yo out of his sock and starting doing tricks. This actually happened. Totally funny and super nice guy.

They were hilarious and Tommy did that impression of Carson on stage that night and it really felt like Johnny Carson had walked out on stage. He looked so much like him and every single body movement, facial expressions and posture was so perfect it was uncanny. Beyond that, he was hilarious and clever to a degree few can match in comedy. He will be missed and remembered.

My conservative parents loved those two talented guys and the rest of the cast as much as I did. I’ll remember Tommy and Dick fondly, forever. This appearance of theirs on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show was a real classic and still is.

    I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the pleasure of meeting Tommy approximately 12 years ago. It happened at a restaurant in Westlake Village, CA, where I was playing at the time. During a break, we found ourselves outside engaging in conversation with him. Curious, I inquired about his yo-yo skills, wondering if he was still involved in that passion. To my delight, he not only confirmed his continued interest but also spontaneously produced a yo-yo from his sock and proceeded to dazzle us with his impressive tricks. It was a moment that genuinely left me in awe of his talents. Tommy's warm and approachable demeanor, coupled with his ability to seamlessly integrate humor into the conversation, made the encounter truly unforgettable. He exemplified not only skill but also a down-to-earth and friendly nature, leaving a lasting impression as a remarkably funny and genuinely kind individual.

Tommy, Mother might have liked Dick best, but I've liked you both equally for over 60 years.
