Joe Alaskey- the Greatest Vocal Impressionist

Long forgotten, the great comic actor Joe Alaskey was one of the greatest impressionists of the last 25 years. Mostly doing voice over work for animated cartoons these days, Joe was pursuing a Stand Up Comedy career in the 1980's and made it onto some noteworthy talk shows. Like Frank Caliendo, his Girth made his superb imitations absurd, because he looked nothing like, Don Knotts, Walter Brennen, Art Carney, William Shatner, etc... With the exception of-- The Great One himself, the inimitable, Jackie Gleason! I defy anyone to find a better impersonation of Ralph Kramden. He looks exactly like him and has all the mannerisms down to a T. Nothing against Big Brad Garrett, But Joe should have done the role of Gleason in that TV movie a few years ago. Interestingly, Jackie Gleason was still alive when this was taped in early 1987... One likes to imagine this classic homage was actually SEEN by the Great One himself! Maybe we'll get to see Alaskey in some more Character roles as he gets older. At almost 60 he could do the Buford T. Justice character Jackie played in "Smokey and the Bandit". Like his hero, Mel Blanc, he has been persuing that career, doing modern versions of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and Sylvester the cat, in Warner Bros "Tiny Toons", showing the iconic charaters as babies.If anyone has anymore clips of Joe's stand up act I encourage you to share.

yeah, the Flinstones wasn't based on the Honeymooners. but you could've fooled ME.

Little known fact. The Flintstones was not based on the Honeymooners. I saw Mike Hanna on t.v. saying that in an interview. It was filmed some years back. He said he was glad to be associated with such a great show. but, you could've fooled me and everyone else. They DID tell Mel Blanc do try and make his character sound like a prehistoric Art Carney though. But I'm sort of glad I caught him saying that. Now I know the truth.

In the early 90s Joe was a co-star on a gameshow called "Couch Potatoes". The show was about tv trivia, and they'd cut to him doing some jokes and imitations related to the shows that were talked about, as they went to commercial.

Yup. Fred and Barney mimick Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton. In fact, a WB cartoon of the Honey Mooners called the "Honey Mousers" use the voice of Daws Butler who also voiced Fred and Barney in the Flintstones pilot episode, "The Flagstones."
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
