Fans of Jim Carrey are impressed by the actor’s first appearance on The Tonight Show in 1983. “The Mask” actor was already an expert in impressions.
Known for his distinctive facial expressions and gestures, actor Jim Carrey recently went viral after fans discovered an old clip of his first appearance on U.S. TV.
The star of “The Truman Show” showed the audience his talent for impressions for the first time. At the time, he was just a comedian trying to find his place in the entertainment world.
During his appearance on The Tonight Show, hosted by Johnny Carson, Carrey was introduced as a “young imitator from Toronto, a little different.”
When he stepped onto the stage, Jim Carrey began by imitating singer Elvis Presley, with an exaggerated and funny preparation that amused the audience. He performed the song “Jailhouse Rock” while doing Elvis’ characteristic leg movements.
