number 10
Will Ferrell oh mighty Kong has woken
from his slumber beginning his seven
year stint on Saturday Night Live in
1995 his California native is probably
best known for his George W Bush
impression which captured the sometimes
confused and sometimes confident
demeanor of the ex-president that I have
personally overseen a strategic and
covert operation that killed the Gopher
who’s been tearing up my backyard
however he also stepped into the pants
of other politicians like the one and
only Janet Reno INBOX dirty then how
comes my conscious is so clean but no
matter who he’s impersonating whether
it’s the deeply annoyed Alex Trebek
suck it for Beck or the highly
intellectual James Lipton I am I am Here
I am now Will Ferrell has a way of
drawing attention to the smallest of
details through nonverbal behavior while
accentuating simple lines with
exaggerated bravado
what’s going
that’s I’m doing a Barisan Ford one-man
show number nine Tina Fey my favorite
please my song undoubtedly one of the
more brilliant minds to emerge from SNL
here’s an iconic TV star that
beautifully captured a specific time and
place
and person with her jaw-dropping
impersonation of Sarah Palin we’ve seen
our own children targeted by the police
for no reason other than they committed
some crimes
okay maybe her Robert De Niro is
admittedly weak yet her collection of
Palin performances became must-see TV
even if Tina has long been capable of
characterizing a wide selection of
unique individuals Tracy just has a way
just who not dreams like look at your
fire self you you look like you should
be married to one of the San Diego
Padres she’s fun to watch and sometimes
it’s her genuine excitement alone that
provides an extra dose of comedy this is
Amy talking to talking it over with the
rest of the team after an improv show
okay we’re like dude dude myself
included
our edits were pretty weak tonight I
just like dudes honestly like myself
included you just need to we need to
initiate Walker myself included is the
name of my neighborhood
number eight Jimmy Fallon hey Gilbert I
am holding my entire intestinal tract in
my own hands
and that’s not going it all began in the
late 90s when this eventual Tonight Show
host made an immediate mark on SNL with
his Adam Sandler impression go ahead oh
yeah
like any perfectionist or legitimate Pro
it is no big thing for Jimmy Fallon to
quickly transform into celebs like Bob
Dylan call me over soon oh good Jagger
or even Donald Trump well let’s be
honest Fallon’s and lightweight no way
he deserves to interview me during his
initial SNL run he often drew attention
for stepping out of character but given
his long-standing career behind the desk
at NBC Fallon has demonstrated the
essence of not only recognizing the
vocal intonation of celebrities but also
the intricacies of how they move oh yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah number
seven Bill Hader we’re gonna miss you so
much so you barely know him born in
Oklahoma and birthed into the SNL family
in 2005 this guy has a knack for
surprising audiences with the most
obscure of impressions what is it you
Americans say finders keepers yes well
President Putin what an unexpected
surprise which is indeed the sign of a
truly innovative mind couple of cameras
yeah bill hader can do a pretty good
Pacino and perhaps he’s at his best with
original characters but how often do you
see a dying ton taan impression or
characterizations of the SNL cast like
this whole thing what this whole thing
that’s kind of a me does that align well
with hater you’ve got a versatile
impressionist that doesn’t need a whole
lot of subject material to come up with
his own bizarre spin Seth Rogen was like
you know it was amazing he has like you
know a bike track in his backyard it was
phenomenal and and I did it a Seth Rogen
impression and it was like I did a magic
trick Tom Cruise is like yeah
number six Kristen Wiig it sounds like
you’re going back and forth like well
Iran won’t around in a culture obsessed
with reality stars and celebrities this
woman can easily step into character
with a few props but not many can match
her deadpan way of destroying dim-witted
individuals can you believe I’m old
enough to have a daughter who’s getting
divorced no you can’t because my
surgeries worked in other words the wig
is watching and she will construct a
top-notch impression given the
opportunity
my uncle Coffey said to tell my lady to
behave but I think just being an old
poop what and she went oh good okay with
Kristen it’s more about comedic timing
and physical movements rather than
perfecting a voice and when she gets on
a roll she has that Fallon like charm
that allows her to break character every
once in a while he smelled like a bunch
of stinky old Bojangles Spa sausage we’d
skip
she’s the total package and the
embodiment of a classic female
impressionist oh my goodness
oh I can’t believe that I’m sitting next
to Michael Jordan I was in the building
number five Dana Carvey if she were
president she’d be Baberaham Lincoln as
one half of Wayne’s World and a man
responsible for setting a high bar at
SNL in the late 80s and early 90s Dana
Carvey has a way of capturing squirrely
white men with tiny heads and strange
voices
who’sa who’s gonna replace Ferguson says
like he swallowed some bubbles and
something wesley from tunisia we don’t
know who he is we’re looking at you
Regis Philbin and Ross Perot and of
course we can’t forget about the spot-on
impressions of Jimmy Stewart what what
kind of person just chopped somebody up
I mean what kind of mind would do that
and George HW Bush the way to do the
president is to start out with mr.
Rogers it’s a beautiful day in the
neighborhood then you add a little John
Wayne here waygal let’s go over the
ridge you put them together you got
George Herbert Walker Bush
this guy’s routines are so killer that
once he left Saturday Night Live casual
fans would say listen el isn’t funny
anymore and while there might have been
some truth in that it’s tough to match
the talent of a pro like Dana Carvey
Keith Richards giving candy out okay
ding-dong hey hey hey number four Frank
Caliendo
what I wanted to be was in a funny place
and now here’s a man that’s become so
famous for his John Madden impression
that it actually draws some backlash
from time to time I’ll let the Dane Cook
effect
I love Barkley because it’s all based on
the word terrible because he thinks
everything’s terrible buddy doesn’t say
terms like Auto that was terrible
absolutely
so terrible terrible put where the
vowels go in that word and that’s
because Frank Caliendo has left a huge
mark on the world of celebrity
Impressionists originally appearing on
MADtv and extending his brand of comedy
through innovative characterizations of
Charles Barkley and Morgan Freeman
or do whoever you really wanted me to do
even though you didn’t say it
telepathically thought I would do it he
doesn’t quite match the level of
physical comedy put forth by someone
like Chris Farley yet his ability to
pinpoint the exact vocal tones of
celebrities he’s far beyond the range of
most Impressionists I don’t want to brag
but it’s hard not to when you’re me and
it makes me feel great to be a part of
this the world’s greatest news and the
world’s greatest rub and that’s why I’m
changing my name to WGT number three
rich little you know that rich does an
impression of me he does have you ever
seen it it’s fantastic originally from
the Canadian city of Ottawa
here’s an old-school comic that made
Bohr some of you mojo holics with his
routines but only because his subjects
are from a distant past
Paula rod gets rougher lonelier and
tougher
don’t crowd even so you gotta give it up
for rich Little’s vast collection of
impressions which display his talent for
portraying the likes of classic American
icons such as John Wayne being Crosby
and Orson Welles no no kind of squint
them a little bit and bend over just
about no I want you to say I feel
terrible and of course he not only
appeared on The Tonight Show with Johnny
Carson but also played him in the late
shift I’ve just said it the world heard
me it’s real he’s an original gangster
of comedy and surely one of the many
inspirations for modern Impressionists
vision
there’s a sign up on my doggone vision I
ain’t working anymore number two Jim
Carrey Kevin Bacon is Batman while some
celebrity impersonators thrive on a
particular set of skills
one man thrives on utilizing every bit
of muscle and every squint of the eye
well I guess we’ve found our man all it
takes is one look at Jim Carrey’s
photographic personification of James
Dean to know that he can pull off pretty
much any celebrity you tearing me up I
say Clint Eastwood or Jack Nicholson or
even Elvis
this Canadian has a beautifully strange
ability to not only transform into
others but to capture their energy as
well seems like no matter what happens
no matter how bad things get Jimmy
Stewart can look at it in a positive way
well I guess we’re going to have
ourselves a nuclear holocaust before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions yeah all this
underwear is making me tired miss me I
just had a nappy
oh no you’re probably all right I don’t
mean to be hyperbolic or nothing but I

know kind of idiotic number one Robin
Williams watch naked walks into the room

you’re dead
well it’s no misrepresentation to say
that this icon was a legitimate madman
of celebrity impressions and he goes you
know Robbo now I have one for every
decade after all it was the whirlwind
nature of Robin Williams dynamic
presence that played such a pivotal role
in his success but don’t forget about
the fundamental brilliance of his
routines there’s one guy who could do
porn and I think we all would watch that
guy is Chris Walken oh god yes oh my god
he would be amazing Chris will be up
there going I’m inside you at times he
was focused and composed on specific
characterizations while he often blazed
through impressions before you even got
a handle on what was actually happening
nuclear age why must you ask the phone
leave your life and that was the beauty
of Robin Williams material as he was a
definitive trailblazer in his own right
the English had Margaret Thatcher who
kind of looks like Julia Child’s on
valium
this is y’all look like she’s like she
talks like best shows it’s like
