From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Will Jordan (born July 27, 1927) is an American character actor who is best known for his uncanny resemblance to long-time TV host Ed Sullivan, coupled with his ability to present a dead-on impression of the man's unique nasal voice and self-conscious, quirky mannerisms.

Jordan's early appearances mimicking Ed came on The Ed Sullivan Show itself, which was originally called Toast of the Town. In his act, Jordan came up with the catch-phrase, "Welcome to our Toast of the Town 'Shoooo'", which became a stereotypical joke for nearly every Sullivan imitator after that, usually as the more generic "Really Big 'Shoooo'".

In virtually all of his film appearances since the 1970s, Jordan has portrayed Sullivan in films that feature characters appearing on Sullivan's famous variety series. Sullivan himself died in 1974, leaving Jordan to "carry the torch", as it were.

Jordan most recently impersonated Sullivan in the 2003 film, Down with Love.


Another actor who has made a career of impersonating someone else is Humphrey Bogart lookalike Robert Sacchi.
