Mario Cantone does impressions of celebrity Christmas albums on The View

[stevers62]

I want to like this guy. The Bob Dylan was good, but the Judy and Liza are pretty weak.....not that I could do any better myself. There is a great Liza imitation on YouTube doing a Lady Gaga medley if you search "Liza Minnelli Does Lady Gaga". Now THAT is great impression. Thanks for posting this. It was interesting and funny.

[miltsar]

@stevers62 have to agree with you. he is a bit frantic and over the top. Like a gay Jerry Lewis on speed.

[billyboylb]

Love his Cher.

[annamarierichards67]

genius ...just genius 

[wemacla]

I watched this for 2 years already, and I still laugh and laugh. Too funny!

[Jesterswords]

Is that Tom Kitt on the piano?!

[Andre00x]

He's repeating the same jokes over and over...he's funny but still.

[keithcarlislesmith]

His impressions are dead on!!! So funny. I've been laughing my ass off.

[ashcarl116]

I guess it's neat

[eveville1]

LORD, THAT MAN IS FUNNY!

[realmuscle19]

he does an amazing bette davis impression!

[mikesterSTLMO]

He definitely does the best Liza, but his Katharine Hephurn and Bette Davis will have you wetting yourself.

[34201618]

Gay.Not funny. Just the type of guy the libs like.

[gabsylv]

@34201618 Straight. Everyone here disagrees with you.

[JOHNYOCHO]

He was funny in Chappelle's show

[vexxtra]

he should do a show with Kathy Griffin

[jeffeastwood15]

His Liza gets me every time =^)

[uberdude1988]

The view fucking sucks. Escpecially Goldberg but Mario Cantone is pretty funny

[jacquelina619]

OMG!!!! I can't stand it!!!! He is soooo funny and talented.....he def needs his own show!!!

[SharonDuke1]

lol

[reeniebell]

That's a good idea!

[veraknoid]

Amazing how different people react to listening to the same thing. I listen to this every day because it makes me laugh so much my eyes start tearing. Way to go, Mario!

[ritter89]

Wow, how original. A gay comic doing hack impressions of famous gay icons. Snooze. This is the type of stuff you'd expect to hear during a Mike Douglas interview circa '73. It's like listening to an annoying alarm clock. The entire "interview" is a routine/bit without any spontaneity whatsoever. Of course, the view audience eats up this type of crap . Mario's been around for the better part of 20 yrs doing the same lame routine. I'm shocked he didn't do Ethel Merman

[kocean1]

@ritter89 so don't watch simple.

[smileatme000]

wow i don't know who this guy is but i haven't stopped laughing since watching the clip. lol. well i definitely know who he is NOW lol !! awesome guy

[meemeeuuu]

I have watched this several times and still stop and laugh!!

He is fantastic!!!!

[fkd1963]

is mario trying a little too hard to please?

[chevychase]

I think Mario Cantone just entered the pantheon of The World's Greatest Comics Ever with this routine! Now THIS man is a genius!!

[d4seasons]

@chevychase i've met & shook hands w/ him on jan. 14, 2011 on WEST 14th street in NY. nice guy.

[robitcha]

LOVE IT!!!

[Johnny90M]

"If i can read Dostoyevsky at 3 and soil myself, i can do anything!" xD lmao

[wemacla]

Brilliant ! I watched so many times and I'm still laughing.

[nothingtofear85]

worst. dylan impression. ever!!!!

[AdamMichaelMercer]

FUNNY AS HELL!!!!!!!!

[phlashba]

I am in awe -- such a gift!

[lukechapter5]

Liza loves Chrishmas everybody!

[amsmith2000]

that was hilarious!!!

[BroadwayBill]

His Liza sounds like Jimmy Durante

[wemacla]

I can't stop laughing! Excellent! Liza/Judy duet is A-MA-ZING. I'll watch it over and over.

[jackvamp1]

listen to elisabeth at 2:01 ....

[ldbeme]

@jackvamp1 LMAO Yea what the hell was that? hahaha

[zonerboi22]

what an annoying bitch.

[vim92]

OMG I love him!!!

[marcusmalone]

Never occured to me until now but Cher and Eddie Veder have the same singing voice, more or less.

[americangalbasseyfan]

Hilarious.

[hlywdplayer]

OMG !!! This man is fantastic !!!

Mario Cantone should have his own show , i was laughing so hard i had to replay some segments that i missed due to tears filling up , Mario is such a talent , He never misses ,always spot on .

Get your own show Mario and have Richard Simmons on as a guest , WOW !! that would be a HOOT !!!

[msscott73]

I'm crying with laughter. I falling off my chair. Oh my goodness. I loved his take on Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.

[Desponded1]

HAHAH!!!<3 Funny!!!<3

[earthalien77]

Have they ever had Cher on The View?

[reeniebell]

It's not letting post a link, but just search for "The View" Cher

[tmelani1]

SOO FUNNY!

[TheDesolatedShadow]

LMAO!!!!

[mikesterSTLMO]

They ran a clip of this on The View this morning, so I had to look it up. He did Liza doing Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" this morning .... freaking hilarious!

[bbbbmer]

i just peed my pants!

[mongoose100989]

does neone have that clip where he screams?

[daveandcliff]

Bob Dylan may be able to write but he should not sing, his voice is like a hacked up loogie!

[americangalbasseyfan]

@daveandcliff I'd like to shake your hand for saying the truth about Dylan.  I applaud you.

[daveandcliff]

Bob Dylan SUCKS!

[coolrob2157]

Why did they bleep out the Homo!? He said this same joke in the interview in 2004 on the view and they didn't bleep it out! wtf!?

[The3rdHiltonSister]

his real voice is annyoing.....he sounds like hes gettinf fucked by a dildo.

[faggyboy2]

"LIIIZZAAA"

"MAAA MUHHHHHH!"

lmao!

[batman4oz]

Anyone who thinks people like Dylan and that Other hideous Troll, Willy Nelson, can actually sing, are delusional, or on the same drugs that those two old wrecks are on!

At least Mario can hit Real notes, and speak Real words that we can understand. And he's funny. Deal with it, bitches.

^^X^^

[MJLatora]

Sorry, I know it's comedy and levity, but Bob Dylan has more talent in the fingernail of his pinky than Mario Cantone has in his entire boy. I wonder if Cantone will still be around, or even remembered for fifty years......

[feylong19]

Talent at its best! Merci Mario !

[Hakkun9872]

"Merry Morphine Christmas, oooohh!!!"

and a happy new year.:D

[lsloan77706]

I am so glad to find this on-line. The Bob Dylan thing was hilarious!

[beaner2192]

Omg this was hilarious I tried not to pee my pants

[TheVanessamarquez]

I just LUV this. I couldn't stop laughing!

[scarypowers]

I laughed my ass off....when he did the duet it made me laugh so hard i was crying...excellent job mario

[diah4]

LOL

[wemacla]

Excellent! The Liza-Judy duo is amazing, I recorded it and watched it over and over. And now I gonna keep this in my favorites.

Thanks Mario!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[robertjtrindel]

Funniest thing ever! Loving Mario!

[ricoco1]

I must say, I was cringing during the first half, then got my interest with the Liza bit and had me laughing outloud by the end...

I wonder how he builds himself up to speed to give those10 min of high.

I've just heard in a TV program here in the UK that Rudolph was a lady... and indeed all the reindeer. Only females keep their horns in December.

[Kotor1Rulezz]

Mario, you ROCK!!!! When are you going to be on Joy's HLN show for the entire hour? I laughed till I cried!!!

[lizziesecondstreet]

I want a Liza Christmas album! I want a Liza Christmas album!! I want a Liza Christmas album!!!! Have I made myself clear????

[sxcchuck]

People are always gona think what they want to think about Gays, no mater how they act in public but you must admit that this segment of the view on Christmas was FUNNY AS F@#%!!! Keep doing your thing Mario, and you hatters stop hating! its Christmas for god sake! Good will towrds ALL men

[vrus85]

I'd like a Cher Christmas album too! Well, any album actually ....

[aminmontrose]

Jesus. After Jack in Wlll & Grace this is all we needed... Another unflattering gay stereotype. Ellen DeGeneres doesn't have to play up to being 'butch' - Why can't Mario be funny without clucking like a fucking hen.

[kennethwthomas]

@aminmontrose

What a miserable comment. I am sure you will be alone for the holidays!

[aminmontrose]

What does me being alone have anything to do with gay and lesbian steretyping? Thanks for replying with a thought out and intelligent response. A large percentage of gay and lesbians want to be taken seriously by society, you obviously fall into another group. Thr truth is, if Maria Cantone acting as an adult, society would be threatened, so like the blacks had to do in hollywood, before civil rights, he plays up to it to get on TV to tell his jokes.

[kennethwthomas]

@aminmontrose

Perhaps I should have been more direct. I think your comment shows that you are a miserable person and as result probably have few, if any friends, leaving you alone for the holidays. I personally find Mario Cantone very entertaining. I am sorry that you have no joy in your life.

[kellar]

I see what you are saying, and as a straight person I will defere to your personal experience. But I do have to say that I think the gay community should emprace all parts of itself, and not just the parts that "fit in" with main st society.  When I see Mario Cantone I dont neccesarily see a gay man, I see talent.

[Eval999]

indeed, but the view is still the view...bleh

[kellar]

Too right.

[TheNokia4867]

dude lighten up its comedy! no need 2  be serious here

[TheNokia4867]

dude its called comedy! lighten up!

[jjdonebar]

SO GLAD to see this here ... Saw it earlier today and LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

[trojanman0660]
