I like when people take chances... it is one of the only ways you can show your talents off. You can't be cookie cutter if you want to be noticed. Andre the Giant impressions are a dime a dozen... his unique voice makes him an easy idea when someone wants to make an impression funny. Jason Segal has mastered it, and turned it into material across numerous platforms like his movies and even SNL. So if you can find a way to bring a new spin to something that is old hat, well then you have the opportunity to be special. Comedian Mike O'Gorman might be on to something with his latest project, The Andre the Giant show on Youtube. O'Gorman becomes the 8th Wonder of the World and gets behind the desk (albeit a pretty tall desk) to conduct his own late night talk show. The first episode taps Game of Thrones producer Bryan Cogman as the special guest. The wig is great, the voice is spot on, as is the aloof nature that we would expect Andre to have exhibited if he was a host. The jokes are good (Andre's face when he finds out Game of Thrones is a book = Priceless), and what happens when Andre encounters Cogman's copy of Game of Thrones is one of the funniest things I have seen in a while! I hope they make many more of these. They have their own Youtube channel, and so far one episode is posted. Subscribe on Youtube to not miss a single episode! Check it out embedded after the jump...
