Isle entertainer on reality show

By Wayne Harada
Advertiser Entertainment Writer

Garry Moore, an Islander who impersonates Little Richard and other celebrities, will appear on "The Next Best Thing: Who is the Greatest Celebrity Impersonator?" at 7 p.m. today on ABC (KITV).

He'll do an a cappella version of Little Richard's "Tutti Fruitti." The show — kind of an "American Idol" meets "Legends in Concert" — has sound- and look-alikes competing for $100,000.

Moore has impersonated Richard and Sammy Davis Jr. in Waikiki and Las Vegas "Legends in Concert" shows.
