00:00Send me half your chick, because I'm the half the reason you're here.
00:04Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at real-life celebrities who had something to say about how they were portrayed on the sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live.
00:20Number 20. Sarah Sherman as Amy Lou Wood.
00:23Like the ones before it, the third season of HBO's The White Lotus sparked major online reaction,
00:28making it ripe for SNL to jump in with a parody.
00:31Enter The White POTUS, a sketch that reimagines Donald Trump, his family, and cabinet members as the ones vacationing in Thailand.
00:41You would never let our economy go to pieces. Right, hon?
00:47Despite the clever concept, Sarah Sherman's portrayal of Chelsea, played by actress Amy Lou Wood,
00:52drew backlash for its use of exaggerated prosthetic teeth.
00:55You alright? That's fat.
00:58The strongest reaction came from Wood herself, who called the impression, quote,
01:10mean and unfunny in an Instagram story.
01:12While she clarified that she's not against being parodied, she had hoped for something, quote, less cheap.
01:17Hey, people like me, right?
01:19Yeah, you're great, Marco. We love you.
01:21Hey, we're going to go take a walk over there for a second.
01:26Number 19. Bowen Yang as Fran Leibovitz.
01:29Multi-time Emmy nominee Bowen Yang has earned plenty of praise for his impressions on SNL over the years,
01:35including from pop star Charlie XCX.
01:37Whatever, whatever. Hi, it's me. 365 Party Girl, Charlie XCX.
01:43This is my talk show where we talk, talk about whatever I'm on about.
01:46But not everyone has been a fan.
01:49In a 2021 Weekend Update segment, Yang took aim at iconic author and public speaker Fran Leibovitz with a deadpan parody.
01:56I've been so bored at home.
01:58I was about to get married to my cufflinks.
02:01Initially, Leibovitz claimed she had not seen the sketch,
02:04but Fran later insinuated she did by remarking that, quote,
02:07only people who've never been impersonated would find that kind of caricature enjoyable.
02:11And the people who went to these talks, they were children.
02:13They'd ask me, should I be a writer? Should I be a filmmaker?
02:16I say, no, you should be something useful.
02:19Be a piece of melon wrapped in prosciutto.
02:22Ironically, Yang took her icy response as a badge of honor,
02:25calling it the highest praise she could have given him.
02:27In true Leibovitz fashion, her indifference only added to the impression's legacy.
02:32I wear it as a badge of honor that she did not like my portrayal of her.
02:36Number 18. Kate McKinnon as Kellyanne Conway.
02:39From spotlight-hogging cameos to an uproarious It-inspired sewer sketch,
02:44Kate McKinnon transformed Kellyanne Conway into a full-blown political horror comedy icon.
02:58McKinnon's over-the-top impressions became a recurring SNL highlight
03:02during Donald Trump's first presidential gig.
03:04Conway, however, told The Hollywood Reporter in 2017
03:07that McKinnon's frequent parodies were proof that, quote,
03:10the road to the future runs through her and not Hillary Clinton.
03:13She also insisted she was, quote,
03:15much more happy than maybe the character sometimes is.
03:18When it's in good humor, I think it's really funny.
03:21But I noticed once President Trump won the election,
03:23which none of them were expecting,
03:25it got a little meaner.
03:26But McKinnon did not back down.
03:28In fact, she leaned in harder,
03:30with each sketch getting more and more unhinged,
03:33to the audience's delight.
03:35And when they Google just a K,
03:38my name will come up before Kanye,
03:41Kelly and Conway.
03:46Number 17. Chloe Fineman as Drew Barrymore.
03:49Thank you for allowing me to be on your show.
03:52Drew, this is your show.
03:55Oh my God, thank you.
03:57When Chloe Fineman debuted her breathy,
03:59whimsical impression of Drew Barrymore on SNL,
04:02it was impressively spot on.
04:04Fineman nailed everything from Barrymore's endless stream
04:06of effusive compliments to her ethereal sunshine and roses energy.
04:10I am just like you,
04:13a boho, free spirit, mommy, mother, movie star,
04:17since I would say.
04:18However, the real magic happened
04:20when Fineman appeared on the Drew Barrymore show.
04:23Drew showered her with praise,
04:24proving she could take a joke
04:26and laugh right along with it.
04:27I'm really nervous to meet you.
04:29I'm so excited.
04:30I'm such a fan.
04:31I'm your biggest fan.
04:32Are you going to make me cry?
04:33Viewers clearly loved Barrymore's good-natured response
04:36just as much as Fineman's uncanny mimicry.
04:38Heck, the daytime talk show host
04:40even bowed to her impersonator.
04:42If that's not the ultimate stamp of approval,
04:44we're not sure what is.
04:46Number 16. Fred Armisen as David Patterson.
04:49Fred Armisen's portrayal
04:50of former New York governor David Patterson
04:52stirred up controversy from the get-go.
04:54The person I select must be prepared
04:56to help this state face a grave economic crisis.
04:59And it's bad out there, Seth.
05:01I mean, if you don't believe me,
05:02take a look at this graph that I got here.
05:04Now, as you can see.
05:06Playing the then-governor as bumbling and confused,
05:09with heavy reliance on visual gags about his blindness,
05:13Armisen drew backlash from advocacy groups
05:15and the public alike.
05:16The governor's communications director,
05:18Risa B. Heller, told the New York Times,
05:20The governor is sure that Saturday Night Live,
05:23with all of its talent,
05:24can find a way to be funny without being offensive.
05:27The show responded to the criticism
05:28by inviting Patterson to appear,
05:30and surprisingly, he accepted.
05:32In his cameo,
05:33Patterson poked fun at the show's writers
05:34and even made self-deprecating jabs at himself.
05:37So it's true that your other senses are heightened?
05:39Oh, absolutely.
05:40For example,
05:41my sense of smell
05:43tells me that there are 15 people in the audience
05:46that are from New Jersey.
05:48Number 15.
05:49Kenan Thompson as Neil deGrasse Tyson
05:51Kenan Thompson may have given his impression
05:53of Neil deGrasse Tyson a nerdy flair,
05:55but the famed astrophysicist
05:57wasn't exactly over the moon about it.
05:59Yeah, this report actually represents
06:00the consensus of the vast majority of scientists.
06:03It is an indisputable fact
06:05that the Earth is getting warmer.
06:07Warmer?
06:08Tell that to the polar vortex.
06:10Portrayed in a Fox and Friends parody,
06:12Neil deGrasse Tyson felt Thompson's take
06:13ultimately fell flat.
06:15He admitted to finding the portrayal underwhelming,
06:17especially considering SNL's track record
06:19for nailing other impersonations.
06:21Look, addressing this problem
06:23should be a goal that we should all share.
06:25I mean, no one wants to see
06:26the extinction of the polar bears.
06:28He wasn't entirely critical, however.
06:31He appreciated the accurate detail
06:32of his signature planetary neckties
06:34and saw the impression as a win for science.
06:37Taking it as a sign that scientific voices
06:39are entering the cultural mainstream,
06:41he noted this is something
06:42he can definitely get behind.
06:43For science is truth indeterminate.
06:46And science allows us to detect
06:47when people's philosophies
06:49are interfering with the dissemination
06:50of those essential truths.
06:52Number 14, Tracy Morgan as Bobby Brown.
06:55In the mid to late 90s,
06:57Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston
06:58were in the thick of their chaotic
07:00tabloid-dominating era.
07:02So naturally, SNL took aim.
07:04Oh, hey, Jimmy.
07:05It's Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown.
07:07Wow.
07:08Woo!
07:11Hi, Tina.
07:12Hi, Jimmy.
07:13In a memorable Weekend Update segment,
07:15Tracy Morgan and Maya Rudolph
07:17portrayed the volatile couple
07:18to big laughs from the live audience.
07:20I mean, you've seen our baby Tina.
07:22Yes, I have.
07:23You have?
07:23Where is she?
07:24Yeah, where you been keeping her at?
07:26Oh, no, I meant I've seen her in the papers.
07:28Oh, of course she's in the papers.
07:30However, Bobby Brown was not laughing.
07:33Years later, in a 2022 interview
07:35with Atlanta Blackstar,
07:36Brown called the sketch, quote,
07:38hateful, admitting that while
07:39he doesn't regret his past,
07:41the parody struck a nerve.
07:42The My Prerogative singer revealed
07:44he was deeply offended
07:45by how he and Houston were portrayed
07:47and has always held on to that resentment.
07:50This is what I've gone through in my life,
07:52from day one of my life
07:54all the way to right now.
07:57He has also publicly cried foul
07:58over Aerie Spears' take on him on MADtv.
08:01Number 13.
08:02Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump
08:04How do you like working at the White House?
08:06Are your parents proud?
08:08I tell them I work at Applebee's.
08:10That's great.
08:12As one of pop culture's most prominent figures,
08:15Donald Trump has been impersonated on SNL
08:17countless times over the years.
08:18But few performances got under his skin
08:20quite like Alec Baldwin's.
08:22Debuting during the 2016 presidential campaign,
08:25Baldwin's scathing take on Trump
08:26carried through much of his presidency
08:28and even earned him an Emmy
08:29for his pursed-lipped efforts.
08:31Hey Donald, that's enough fun for tonight.
08:34Can I have my desk back?
08:35Yes, of course, Mr. President.
08:36I'll go sit at my desk.
08:39Trump, however, was furious.
08:41Frequently lashing out on social media
08:43by calling the portrayal, quote,
08:44terrible and claiming it, quote,
08:46just can't get any worse
08:47while seeing the whole thing as a, quote,
08:49total hit job.
08:51He's portraying somebody
08:52who's very mean and nasty
08:53and I'm not mean and nasty.
08:55I think I'm a much nicer person
08:59that he's portraying.
09:01Did we mention Donald's daughter Ivanka
09:03was allegedly also unhappy
09:04with her complicit portrayal?
09:06Complicit.
09:07The fragrance for the woman
09:08who could stop all this,
09:11but won't.
09:13Also available in a cologne for Jared.
09:15Number 12.
09:16Kristen Wiig as Kathy Lee Gifford.
09:18Kristen Wiig's Kathy Lee Gifford impression
09:20was part Broadway diva,
09:21part boozy brunch aunt,
09:23and all potty mouth.
09:24And audiences drank it up.
09:26Oh, that's an oldie
09:27but a goodie-ho kicks.
09:29Speaking of old goodies,
09:30check out these goodie bags right here.
09:31However, Gifford was not very amused
09:33by the unhinged portrayal.
09:35You got, I'm sorry.
09:36Yep.
09:37While viewers were at home giggling,
09:39the former Today Show host
09:40was said to be fuming.
09:42The impression irritated her so much,
09:44she delivered the ultimate blow
09:45to any comedian,
09:46saying on air that she simply
09:48didn't find it funny.
09:49First up on the scoop,
09:51and this card just says
09:53take a shot of tequila.
09:56Way ahead of you, Hody Hody.
09:57Regardless of her weariness,
09:59Wiig's impression remains
10:00a true fan favorite,
10:02as it captured Kathy Lee's many quirks
10:04and cranked them up to 11.
10:06She has a story.
10:09He has a story.
10:13Hoda has a story.
10:16And Hoda's story is boring.
10:20Number 11.
10:21Gilda Radner as Barbara Walters.
10:22From SNL's very first season,
10:25Barbara Walters had the distinction
10:26of being spoofed by Gilda Radner,
10:28who famously exaggerated her speech
10:30and dubbed the character Baba Wawa.
10:32Dr. Kissinger,
10:34you once said that power
10:35is the greatest aphrodisiac.
10:37What exactly do you mean by this?
10:39But while the sketch became a show staple,
10:41Walters wasn't having it.
10:43The journalist disliked
10:44the over-the-top speech impediment
10:46and feared the parody
10:47would overshadow
10:47her professional reputation.
10:49You refer to yourself as a gun swinger,
10:52sort of a lone wanger of foreign policy.
10:55But everything shifted
10:56when she caught her daughter
10:57watching the show
10:58and was told to, quote,
10:59lighten up.
11:00As it turns out,
11:01that unexpected moment
11:02helped Walters embrace the impression
11:04and gave her permission
11:05to laugh along with the rest of us.
11:07Thank you very much.
11:09This is Barbara Walwa saying
11:10have a pleasant weekend.
11:11Number 10.
11:12Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek.
11:15Once you've been impersonated on SNL,
11:17you know you've made it.
11:18Or at least that's how
11:19the late Jeopardy host felt.
11:21We've got a real barn burner
11:22on our hands.
11:23In the lead,
11:24we have Kathy Lee Gifford.
11:26He shared that
11:27barely a Jeopardy taping
11:28went by without an audience member
11:30asking how he felt
11:31about Will Ferrell's impression.
11:32Tom Hanks,
11:33you managed to give yourself
11:34a pretty nasty welt there.
11:37Let's see what you wrote.
11:38He would always reply
11:39that he loved it.
11:41In fact,
11:41he was such a big fan
11:43that he even made
11:44a surprise cameo
11:45during Ferrell's final show
11:46as a series regular.
11:47What?
11:48A ride it has been
11:50from Burt Reynolds
11:51to Minnie Driver.
11:53But boy,
11:53oh boy,
11:54oh boy,
11:55those celebrities
11:56did not know
11:57the right answer
11:58to any of your questions.
12:00Trebek said that the parody
12:01was a sign that,
12:02you've arrived,
12:03since the writers
12:04clearly thought
12:05that you were popular enough
12:06to be instantly recognizable.
12:07How do you feel about
12:09the Saturday Night Live
12:10takeoffs of Jeopardy?
12:11I love them.
12:13It means you've arrived.
12:15Still,
12:15he admitted that Ferrell
12:16was only his second
12:18favorite impressionist,
12:19the first being Eugene Levy.
12:21Number 9,
12:22Tina Fey as Sarah Palin.
12:24I believe that diplomacy
12:26should be the cornerstone
12:28of any foreign policy.
12:30And I can see Russia
12:31from my house.
12:32Apparently,
12:33Tina Fey's Sarah Palin
12:34imitation was so good
12:36that it helped boost
12:37the show's ratings.
12:39Among its many fans
12:40was the actual
12:41Republican VP
12:42hopeful herself.
12:43And now,
12:44I'd like to entertain
12:45everybody
12:45with some fancy
12:46pageant walking.
12:47Fey had the voice
12:53and mannerisms down
12:54and their physical likeness
12:55was almost uncanny.
12:57So much so
12:58that apparently
12:59Palin once dressed
13:00as Fey for Halloween.
13:01Why couldn't we have done
13:02the 30 Rock sketch
13:02that I wrote?
13:03Honestly,
13:04not enough people
13:05know that show.
13:05The conservative politician
13:07enjoyed Fey's performance
13:08for the most part,
13:09making a cameo
13:10alongside her once.
13:12She even joked
13:12that she was keeping
13:14Fey, quote,
13:14in business.
13:16However,
13:16the same could not
13:17be said for Fey,
13:18as reports later claimed
13:20that her Emmy-winning
13:21takeoff may have
13:22actually hurt
13:23John McClane's
13:23presidential campaign.
13:24Oh, you know,
13:25that was just
13:26my lame attempt
13:27at a joke,
13:28but, um,
13:29yes,
13:30New York,
13:31New Jersey,
13:31Massachusetts,
13:32Connecticut,
13:33Delaware,
13:33California.
13:35Number 8.
13:36Vanessa Bayer
13:37as Miley Cyrus.
13:38Vanessa Bayer
13:39has had the joy
13:40of playing Miley Cyrus
13:41in front of Miley Cyrus
13:43twice.
13:44Oh.
13:44My.
13:45God.
13:45Who are you?
13:47What do you mean?
13:47I'm old you.
13:49And from what she shared,
13:50the singer has always
13:51been a great sport about it.
13:53So this is just like
13:54my show where I like
13:55talk to people
13:56who are pretty cool
13:56and we'll like
13:57talk about things
13:57that they got pretty cool
13:58and yeah,
13:59it's pretty cool.
14:00Bayer told Conan
14:01that once she
14:02even advised the singer
14:04on how to nail
14:05a great Miley Cyrus
14:06impersonation.
14:07Move your mouth a lot.
14:07I think it's
14:08move your mouth a lot,
14:09um,
14:10southern accent
14:10and just kind of like
14:12go for it.
14:13Cyrus also played
14:15Justin Bieber
14:15on Bayer's recurring sketch
14:17The Miley Cyrus Show.
14:18Now,
14:18it's one thing
14:19to perform
14:20in front of the person
14:21you're impersonating
14:21and have them love it.
14:23It's a whole other story
14:24when you have to do it
14:25in front of their mom
14:26as well.
14:27Luckily,
14:28Mama Cyrus loved it too.
14:29How do you like
14:30the show so far,
14:31Justin?
14:32It's okay.
14:33Would you say
14:34it's pretty cool?
14:36No,
14:37actually,
14:37I wouldn't say that.
14:38Number seven,
14:39Chloe Fineman
14:40as Carole Baskin.
14:41This big cat activist
14:43did not think
14:44that imitation
14:44was the sincerest
14:45form of flattery.
14:46Hail,
14:47you cool cats
14:48and kittens,
14:49come bike with me.
14:50In fact,
14:51her response
14:51was incredibly catty.
14:53In an appearance
14:54on Dennis Quaid's podcast
14:55The Pet Show,
14:56she said,
14:57quote,
14:57I could just slap that woman.
14:59Meow.
15:00I could just slap that woman.
15:02She also didn't appreciate
15:03that people
15:04had started to request
15:05that she imitate
15:06Chloe's impression either.
15:08And people wanted me
15:09to talk like that
15:10on the cameos
15:11and I'm like,
15:12I had no idea
15:13how to talk like that.
15:14Luckily,
15:15her send-up
15:15did find fans
15:16in other celebs
15:17including Gwyneth Paltrow,
15:19Mandy Moore,
15:20Emma Roberts,
15:20and more.
15:21Riding my bike
15:22on the big kitty lake
15:23around the kitty cat preserve
15:24and I didn't kill my husband.
15:26Number six,
15:27Kenan Thompson
15:27as Steve Harvey.
15:29The Family Feud host
15:30had a generally
15:31good-spirited response
15:32to Kenan's take on him.
15:34You got your daytime show,
15:35then you got your radio show,
15:36then you got your book signing
15:37at Red Lobster.
15:38Woo!
15:39Yeah,
15:40you like it when I'm busy.
15:41Big daddy getting that money.
15:43However,
15:44he made sure
15:44to instill
15:45a little fear
15:46into the comedian too
15:47to ensure
15:47that he stays in line.
15:49While he believes
15:50there's some room
15:50for improvement,
15:51he generally finds
15:52Thompson quite funny.
15:53How do you think
15:54his impersonation is,
15:55by the way?
15:55I want to kick his ass,
15:56but it's pretty funny though.
15:58The duo has known each other
15:59for quite a long time
16:00and Thompson even played
16:02a recurring character
16:03on the Steve Harvey show
16:04in the 90s.
16:05Ain't no horse
16:05gonna steal my ring,
16:06Steve.
16:06Oh,
16:07come on now,
16:07player.
16:08It's just a stuff...
16:09Hold on.
16:12Wait,
16:12wait,
16:13I think I just saw
16:13that thing move.
16:14So he's definitely
16:15had plenty of time
16:16to nail his characteristics
16:17and quirks.
16:18Overall,
16:19there's no bad blood here
16:20and Harvey has
16:21definitely taken it all
16:22in good humor.
16:23We all know that
16:24Kenan's career
16:25is alive and well
16:26because of me.
16:27His impression of me.
16:29Number 5.
16:30Larry David
16:30as Bernie Sanders.
16:32Keeping it in the family,
16:34it seems like
16:34these distant cousins
16:35inherited a similar
16:37sense of humor
16:37from their shared ancestors.
16:39You coughed into your hand
16:40and shake it after a cough.
16:42No, I didn't.
16:43Shake my hand.
16:44Oh, no.
16:45I was specifically
16:45coughed into your head.
16:46I saw it.
16:47The senator was fond
16:48of David's takeoff,
16:49even joking that
16:50he should appear
16:50at his next rally.
16:51In terms of Larry David,
16:53I think we're going
16:54to put him up
16:54on the stage
16:55at our next rally.
16:56Let him do it
16:56rather than me.
16:57He does it better
16:58than I do, so.
16:59Of course,
16:59it was brought up
17:00on many occasions
17:01throughout his campaign trail
17:02and the presidential hopeful
17:04was happy enough
17:05to play along.
17:05Are you doing
17:06your Larry David right now?
17:07This is stupid.
17:08I am Larry David.
17:10We've seen him
17:11exchange banter
17:12with the comedian
17:13on the Today Show
17:14as well as display
17:15his own
17:16Larry David imitation too.
17:18David was worried
17:19about Sanders
17:20becoming president
17:20because he wasn't sure
17:22he wanted to keep up
17:23the gig for four years.
17:24It'll be great
17:25for the country
17:25and terrible for me.
17:27I'm getting you
17:28a good job
17:29for four years
17:29and you're complaining.
17:30Number four,
17:31Kate McKinnon
17:32as Ellen DeGeneres.
17:34Kate McKinnon
17:34is the queen
17:35of impressions
17:36and an SNL treasure.
17:38Among her very
17:39impressive arsenal
17:40of characters
17:41is a hilariously spot-on,
17:43if at times,
17:44over-exaggerated
17:46impersonation
17:46of the talk show host.
17:47When I was there,
17:48I saw a great Dane.
17:50I also saw a so-so Dane.
17:53I'm just kidding.
17:54They were both great.
17:54I'm Ellen.
17:55Kate shared with Ellen
17:56that she studied
17:57her 2003 stand-up show
17:58Ellen DeGeneres
17:59here and now
18:00to perfect the character.
18:01And well,
18:02she certainly did her homework.
18:03I got some copies
18:05of my book.
18:06It comes in a little
18:07teeny tiny one.
18:09Teeny tiny book.
18:09Like a little
18:10baby goat.
18:12Considering that Ellen
18:13has invited her
18:13to do the impression
18:14on her talk show
18:15on multiple occasions,
18:17no less,
18:17we think it's fair
18:18to assume that she's a fan.
18:19And it's the way
18:20that you say R
18:21that really sunk in.
18:24Some people say R,
18:25but you say R.
18:26In fact,
18:27she responded with,
18:28quote,
18:28I didn't like it.
18:29I'm just kidding.
18:30I'm Ellen.
18:31I'm vegan.
18:31I'm just kidding.
18:32I'm Ellen.
18:34Number three,
18:35Kate McKinnon
18:36as Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
18:38Another unforgettable
18:39impression from Kate McKinnon
18:40was that of larger
18:41than life
18:42and highly accomplished
18:43Supreme Court Justice
18:44Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
18:45The roof!
18:46The roof!
18:47The roof is on fire!
18:49In the 2018
18:50biographical documentary
18:51RBG,
18:52Ginsburg said that McKinnon
18:54was, quote,
18:54marvelously funny,
18:56even if the impression
18:57didn't resemble her,
18:58quote,
18:58not one bit.
18:59Her name RBG
19:01and she born in BK
19:02running the Supreme Court
19:04killing this since 33.
19:06Later at the Sundance Film Festival,
19:08she complimented Kate again,
19:10saying, quote,
19:11I liked the actress
19:12who portrayed me.
19:12and revealed
19:13that she occasionally
19:14enjoyed saying
19:15Ginsburg to her colleagues.
19:17And I would like
19:18to say Ginsburg
19:19sometimes
19:22to my colleagues.
19:25The pair even
19:26had a chance meeting
19:27while watching a production
19:28of Fiddler on the Roof.
19:29When she sadly
19:30passed away in 2020,
19:32Kate and SNL
19:33gave RBG
19:34a fitting
19:34and incredibly
19:35touching send-off.
19:37Number two,
19:38Brad Pitt
19:39as Dr. Anthony Fauci.
19:40How many people
19:41get to choose
19:42who plays them
19:43on SNL?
19:43Ben Stiller,
19:45Brad Pitt.
19:45Which one?
19:47Oh, Brad Pitt,
19:48of course.
19:49Well, when Dr. Fauci
19:50joked that he'd like
19:51to see one of his
19:52favorite actors,
19:53Brad Pitt,
19:53in the role,
19:54SNL and the actor
19:55were only too
19:56willing to oblige.
19:57They're going to have
19:58vaccines,
19:58I think,
19:59relatively soon.
20:00Relatively soon
20:01is an interesting phrase.
20:04Relative to the
20:05entire history of Earth,
20:06sure.
20:06So did Pitt live up
20:08to Fauci's expectations?
20:09Yes, it seems so.
20:11I don't know
20:11if I would describe
20:13the test as beautiful,
20:15unless your idea
20:15of beauty is
20:16having a cotton swab
20:17tickle your brain.
20:18He called it,
20:19quote,
20:19surrealistic,
20:20but overall
20:21seemed quite happy,
20:22saying, quote,
20:23I think he did great.
20:24He especially liked
20:26how he broke character
20:27to thank everyone
20:28who'd been working
20:29tirelessly throughout
20:30the COVID-19 pandemic.
20:32He took off his hair
20:33and thanked me
20:34and all the healthcare workers.
20:36So not only is he
20:37a really great actor,
20:39but he is actually
20:40a very classy person.
20:42Fauci's dream casting
20:43earned Pitt
20:44an Emmy nomination,
20:45but don't worry,
20:46he won't let that
20:47go to his head.

21:04Number one,
21:04Dana Carvey
21:05as George H.W. Bush.
21:08Dana Carvey
21:08certainly had
21:09an impeccable talent
21:10for capturing
21:11this president's
21:12unique qualities.
21:13Expenditures
21:14have continued to grow.
21:16A pair,
21:16right there,
21:17those are expenditures
21:18right in that area.
21:20Revenues remain flat
21:21right down here.
21:23In fact,
21:24he remains one
21:24of the best
21:25SNL political satires
21:26of all time.
21:27And it seems like
21:28his number one fan
21:29might have been
21:30the man himself.
21:31Now,
21:31to get the nomination,
21:32you successfully
21:33cozied up
21:34to the religious,
21:35right?
21:35Got cozy over there.
21:37I saw you.
21:38After losing
21:39the election
21:39in 1992,
21:40President Bush
21:41invited the comedian
21:42to help raise
21:43staff morale
21:43over Christmas.
21:44To start out
21:45with Mr. Rogers,
21:46it's a beautiful
21:46day in the neighborhood.
21:49Then you add
21:49a little John Wayne.
21:50Here we go.
21:51Let's go over the ridge.
21:52You put them together,
21:53you got George Herbert
21:54Walker Bush.
21:56He told his staffers
21:57just how much
21:57Dana Carvey
21:58had made him laugh
21:59over the years.
21:59He said,
22:00I hope I've never
22:01crossed the line.
22:02And I knew
22:03exactly what he meant.
22:04And as far as I'm concerned,
22:05he never has.
22:07And the fact that
22:08we can laugh at each other
22:09is a very fundamental thing.
22:11This also marked
22:12the beginning
22:13of their friendship,
22:14which continued
22:15up until Bush's death
22:16in 2018.
22:17It just goes to show
22:18how impactful
22:19a good sense
22:20of humor can be.
22:21Which celebrity reaction
22:22to their SNL impression
22:23surprised you the most?
22:24Let us know
22:25in the comments below.
22:26Would you ever go back
22:26to SNL?
22:27I heard rumors
22:27that you might go back
22:28before the election.
22:28They want me to go back.
22:29No, I'm not interested
22:30in going back.
22:32No, I'd just like
22:33to have it.
22:33You know, look,
22:34I can speak my mind
22:35and I said,
22:35I think they're making me
22:37out to be a very mean,
22:38bad kind of a guy.
22:40Bye.
