why did Tiger smell so bad why did Tigger smell so bad my friend cuz he's always playing with poo who very good that was uh alpacino or our next guest we're about to find out it is a comedian and impressionist and you can see him this weekend at Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club we're talking about Craig gas so that was one of many Impressions you do Craig how are you I'm doing good yeah I'm I'm a voice guy I've always been able to do any voice that I hear because of how I grew up yeah I want to hear t
his story tell everybody why you're so good at Impressions I and this is not a joke no everyone in my family is deaf my mom my dad and my sister are all completely deaf so growing up in a deaf family I couldn't learn how to talk from my family I learn how to talk by watching TV and copying all the voices I heard on TV and I never got an accent from the Bronx which is where I'm from and everybody in the Bronx sounds like Tracy Morgan everybody in the Bronx talk like this whether you black or whit
e Right male or female that's crazy hey this is the voice of your next door neighbor and I'm a Vietnamese girl that's crazy like everybody sounded like that so the weirder The Voice the easier it is for me to do it like Christopher Walkin yeah has a real stop go kind of voice where he'll talk every once in a while he'll stop and then he'll keep going or Adam Sandler who very silly sh so um so I always had this ability to do voices and then uh when I started working uh here on this network on Fam
ily Guy and American Dad and now with Howard Stern again they just give me homework assignments and they go hey can you can you do this voice and you give me a few days I'll knock it out okay and some of them like let's say family guy they're not are they famous voices or are they just you know characters that he needs they're they're famous voice I'm sensitive to that because um I love Seth so much and uh if Seth is watching I'm sorry I creeped out Seth McFarland oh no the very first episode of
Family Guy I ever did okay I'm really lucky every TV show I've been on has been huge I've been on King of Queen sex in the city but I never watch those shows Family Guy yeah crazy F okay so when I walk in it's just me and Seth McFarland and I'm so nervous I'm standing there just like every time he makes a joke I laugh a little too hard every time he makes a joke I go and he goes what he relax and he goes he goes come on let's go in the studio let's bang this it'll just take a few minutes and it
lasted 5 minutes Seth's running the board he keeps doing one line as Peter Griffin where he goes this is crazier than when alpacino was a slum Lord launder tenant and then they cut to me as alpino sure surrounded by a bunch of broken down washers and dryers going you're out of order and you're out of order and you're raw out of order and we did that three times Seth McFarland goes all right buddy I think we're good but I'm so nervous cuz I think you think he wants you out I think we're friends
now oh I think I think OPP I I think like we're and I actually stood up and I said Hey so uh you want to hang out and he goes what do you mean and I go you want to grab a coffee or something you want and he goes I have to work and I go yeah all right do you want me to leave he goes yeah get the hell out of here I went oh and I I grabbed my papers and I I didn't hear from them again for like six months right Linda the casting director back then was she started calling me after 6 months and said h
ey Craig can you do this voice or this voice I said whatever you need whatever you need every time I've gone back to record with them Seth McFarland's never around far away it's a guy named Mike Henry who does the voice of Cleveland and the creepy old guy and every time I see Mike I go hey Mike is uh Seth around and every time I see him he goes don't worry about Seth he goes he goes we'll get you out of here real quick we'll get you out of here it sometimes there's a subtle disrespect and you ju
st know that like when I walked in this studio today fully disrespected I hope this guy you're you're guy really nice guy he's a lions fan how could he not be nice he walks out and he goes uh where are my models and he looks at me and he goes where are my models and I go what hey I could I could be a model Craig listen we're out of time you can be a model but you also live here now so we'll get you on again Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club this weekend yes and we'll you're sticking around for charity
