Who's watching it the first time? A man with a master piece of another man... an expression of real talent and great friendship ...

One of the most brilliant pieces of work. Who is still admiring this in 2020? I hope that I get to meet Billy Crystal one of these days. Just for the sake of respect for his body of work. Especially this. I truly hope that I get thechance to meet him.

Billy's impression of Ali has the audience laughing, not at Billy himself, but at Billy's perfect ability to emulate Ali's poetic humor, making Billy so invisible that you actually think you're laughing at Ali. That is extraordinary talent!

Billy Crystal himself brought me here when he mentioned this at the funeral service. And I'm not disappointed. This was excellent.

I cried with happiness and laughter. I guess I am getting old at 50 but no one will ever pay a tribute as Billy Crystal did. Ali the greatest sportsman that ever lived. Trust me no one will ever match up to Ali. You know why? Cuz it's 2022 and we live in a horrible world. God bless you Ali. What a massive inspiration to all people Ali was.

While many people know about Billy Crystal's friendship with Ali, it is worth mentioning that when Crystal was in high school, he played pick up basketball games with a high school mate called Lew Alcindor, later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They remain friends to this day.
Crystal's family ran a jazz store that produced and sold records of great artistes, including Louis Armstrong. Crystal's mother once told Armstrong, "Louis, it's okay. you can spit it out." You know where he gets his humor from!
I encourage everyone to read Crystal's autobiography, 'Still Fooling' em'
