Not the rehashed "anime-esque" (note: lots of surprised gasps and yelling) voices one hears in proliferation in todays cartoons shows.

Today's material isn't as good as it used to be. Mel Blanc was truly one of a kind. Althought Joe Alaskey is very good, no one can claim Mr. Blanc's title as the world's best voice actor. He is by far my most favorite entertainer. I agree with Holly. Today's material isn't as good as it used to be. Mel Blanc was truly one of a kind.

Blanc is on tip-top form here, although Letterman seems to be reading from a script and doesn't respond to Mel's improvised/rehearsed anecdotes with anything more than his prepared schpiel I can only imagine Carson might have done a better job of responding to Blanc's amazing vocal demonstrations by engaging him more and getting something more spontaneous out of him. Did Carson have Blanc on his show? Great find Alex!
