Great new guest–*fun and wonderful energy.

Plus he's gay and I wouldn't even have known.

If he comes to town, Teej and I will make sure to show him a good time. ;-o

I'm going to stray from the path here and say I wasn't enjoying this episode too much...

Until the Gary Busey acronyms started. Some people have jobs in shared offices, y'know.

Gummi bears was on before I went to bed when I was like 4

Anyway is it just me but didn't the guest's regular voice remind anyone of Keith McNally? Maybe there aren't too many pitches of voice men have but when I tunned in live I almost thought McNally came down from Canada again.

Great show.

Oh my goodness, LOVE this guy.

All of the impressions, even if I didn't get the reference, were fantastic.

And Keith was just having the time of his life. Adorable.

This guy does a better Vincent Price than Vincent Price!

Best new guest?

At first I thought Keith was just being sarcastic about loving impressions but then kicked in that laugh Keith gets when he cant control himself.

i think jesse joyce git it right in an old show when he said how impressions are usually hacky, unless people who do them are really brilliant. he mentioned james as an example, cant agree more.

I think maybe one of the main reasons James is an A-Grade impressionist rather than a hack is he's not just doing quotes and catch-phrases that the characters are already famous for*, he's constructing and playing imaginatively satirical versions of them with a shit-ton** of wit and as any fan of Comedy Bang Bang knows he can improv like a champ and run it on the fly.

It's the same reason Keith is a Gold Dragon level impressionist. When he does Samantha he doesn't just nail her voice perfectly, he really taps into Samantha's soul.

* E.g. Schwarzenegger impressions hollering "Get to the choppah!!!".
** The standard unit of wit.
