  • Beacom had the cojones to skate to Leonard Cohen years before "Shrek" re-introduced "Hallelujah". For that alone, he would have earned my undying respect. But when I saw him perform this routine this first time on TV, he convinced me, a card-carrying heterosexual male, that it wasn't all ice capades BS. We definitely ain't in Kansas anymore with this bit. Unheralded and absolutely brilliant skater. Ain't seen nothing like him since.

  • One of my fave programs of all time. I loved how he mocked the skating establishment and all those cool contemporary dance moves.

  • @unseelieturtle me too! we have an inside joke, saying "i'm a mannnnn" with the same arm motion that he does LOL =)

  • I remember watching this performance with my mother. Gary is one of my all time favorites!!

  • @cyril1917 I saw it back then too - actually I see now I posted this question to the wrong video. lol Someone uploaded a later version of it that appears pretty recent - Gary has a lot less hair in it, but no less talent & I thought I posted this on that video - sorry. this is still my favorite version though - & just as 15 yrs ago I wish Peggy Fleming & the other guy would shut up during the performance - lol Peggy was my favorite skater when I was a child, but as an announcer - not so much

  • @controlledfolly11 A little over 15 years ago. I remember watching this when it was first televised .

  • description should have read "The incomparable Gary Beacom, skating to the incomparable Leonard Cohen" :) amazing he's still got it - how recent is this performance?

  • I remember this, and my darling dearest in Australia sent this video...heh, I live 15 minutes away from where this was performed!

  • Very original, very entertaining. Thanks, Gary and Thanks for posting.

  • Love Cohen. Love Beacom. What a unique, astounding pairing.

    NOTE: Audio too low

  • That...that's just brilliant. Where the heck did he learn how to skate like that? Standing on his head like that...that was just impressive. I love this guy!

  • I love him, lol
