David Frye
FameRank: 4

"David Frye" was an American comedian, specializing in Impressionist (entertainment)/comic imitations of famous political figures, most of whom were based on notable Americans, including former U.S. Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon, Vice Presidents Spiro Agnew and Nelson Rockefeller, Senators Hubert Humphrey and Bobby Kennedy, as well as film celebrities, e.g., George C. Scott, Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum, Jack Nicholson and Jack Palance, and media figures, e.g., William F. Buckley Jr. and Larry King.

However, as eerily accurate and subtle as his impersonations were, the comedic narratives spoken by those depicted by Frye were outrageously à propos as well as politically savvy and temporal. For example, in one narrative, Frye had newly elected Nixon and his wife visit the White House just prior to assuming residency there in 1969. The incumbent Johnson answers the doorbell, oblivious as to the identity of his unannounced visitors, misidentifying them even after introductions have been made:

That pyramid has been known for a number of years; but what has not been known is its precise date, and it may prove to be circa 600 A.D. or later, since some of the material seems to be filled from earlier levels.

This is an outstanding facility. The building that I built in Longview, we've outgrown it. We have significant opportunities to expand this year, and the bigger building in Gladewater will allow us to do that.

Oh yeah. It's like Charlie said on TV, it's not him against Ben. He has to go against the Steelers' defense and Ben has to face the Browns.
