00:00And you just glided in on a dog sleigh.
00:03Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the Saturday Night Live impersonations
00:09that received internet attention, tons of views, and or prompted online discussion.
00:14We got something X, three, four, capital T, capital P, eight, four.
00:20Hang on, wait a minute, that's my email password, forget that one.
00:24Number 10, Rami Malek, Kenan Thompson, and Daniel Craig as Prince.
00:30Can you send in our last two auditioners?
00:39You don't have to love this artist to get the skit, but fans might appreciate the nods to a musical
00:45icon.
00:46Rami Malek and Kenan Thompson appear as themselves to play the purple one in a biopic.
00:51Saluting the track Kiss, each performer gives a well-timed reaction to the artist's famous delivery.
00:57This includes some killer moves and a few key costume choices.
01:01All right, show me Prince doing a funky lick on the guitar.
01:04Action!
01:09Thompson and Malek are both game for anything here.
01:13But then Daniel Craig shows up for even more fun.
01:16His own take on the proceedings make for a goofy surprise to finish out the scene.
01:21There's enough star power here to attract plenty of views on YouTube.
01:25Fine, show me Prince seeing an adorable dog.
01:32But then it bites him.
01:37Okay, so he kicks it and he misses.
02:01The target of this impression did not take kindly to the jokes.
02:06In this send-up of White Lotus, Sarah Sherman played Amy Lou Wood in a politically charged parody.
02:12Focusing on Wood's accent and teeth, the impersonation led some viewers to criticize the result.
02:18Sherman did a decent job here as the British performer, but it wasn't exactly the kindest portrayal either.
02:25Negative reactions followed, and the real woman weighed in with some disapproving comments.
02:29One thing is for sure, it would probably take a lot for Wood to appear on SNL after this kind
02:35of comedic jab.
02:36Oh, look! A monkey!
02:38I'm gonna go kill it and eat it.
02:41No! Not the monkey!
02:44Number 8. Egon Wotum as Cat Williams
02:47Look, I don't mess with Barack Obama.
02:50I don't trust nobody whose name is all vows.
02:52What?
02:53Why my mouth gotta be open so long, hmm?
02:55Now, come on, Cat. He's a hero.
02:56What'd he do, Shannon? You know his slogan? Yes, we can. I came up with that.
03:01But for me, he was saying, probably, probably, I think we might.
03:04If you remember the viral interview with Shannon Sharp and Cat Williams, this skit is the perfect companion piece.
03:12Egon Wotum plays the interviewee and harnesses the glory of the original clip.
03:16With Devin Walker as Sharp, the sketch is on the right track with frequent surprises and laugh-out-loud moments.
03:23SNL certainly captures Williams in his element, with Wotum's impersonation sounding off on pop culture and fruit.
03:30I'm the one who invented fruit.
03:32Now, Cat, you ain't invent no fruit.
03:33Before me, trees wasn't bringing nothing to the table.
03:36The main performer dishes out celebrity roasts with glee.
03:40The scene embraces the absurdity of the original, finding new ways to subvert your expectations.
03:45Even the real interviewer shouted out the skit, taking the hit in stride and likely drawing more viewers to this
03:51parody.
03:52Shannon, I am the only man in history to say all the words ever in one single word.
03:59Blumana Pazori.
04:00There it is.
04:02That's all of them.
04:04Number 7.
04:05Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer.
04:07The night they drove old Dixie down.
04:12Okay?
04:13And then there was some light terrorism this week when Nordstrom's decided to stop selling
04:19Ivanka Trump's line of clothing.
04:24Not many people would have paired these two together.
04:27The underrated minds at SNL decided to give Melissa McCarthy the unlikely role she was born to play.
04:33Ever the physical comedian, the actress musters up the crazed spirit of a White House press secretary
04:39and makes him hostile to the press.
04:41On multiple occasions, McCarthy came back to reprise the role
04:45and do even more ridiculous gags with props and cartoonish weapons.
04:49And they directly contradict everything.
04:56The sketches gave some Americans a much-needed laugh during Donald Trump's first term.
05:01It's safe to say that this made an impact online, later helping to earn McCarthy an Emmy.
05:07And don't even get me started on her shoes.
05:10Because this baby's a real head-turner.
05:15Number 6.
05:16Ariana Grande as Jennifer Lawrence.
05:19They told me not to do a game show, but I was like, screw it, I can have fun, I'm
05:22a regular person.
05:24If you've ever seen Jennifer Lawrence in an interview,
05:27this particular family feud sketch will be for you.
05:29Ariana Grande shows up as a host and finds a way to channel the Oscar winner's down-to-earth attitude.
05:36Grande seems effortless here.
05:38It's one of those impressions that you don't see every day,
05:41making it much more memorable in its execution.
05:44There's no doubt that it struck a chord with audiences,
05:47with even Lawrence herself praising the performance.
05:50When she returned to SNL,
05:52the pop singer continued to prove herself as a skilled impressionist ready to break the internet.
05:57Name a bad habit that you just can't quit.
05:59Jennifer.
06:00I'm just like a snackaholic.
06:02I mean, I love Pringles.
06:03If no one's looking, I'll eat like a whole can.
06:05Like every day is my cheat day, you know what I mean?
06:07Oh, how annoyingly relatable.
06:11Number 5, Matt Damon as Brett Kavanaugh.
06:25Having been on the show several times,
06:28Matt Damon worked wonders in a chaotic cameo about the Brett Kavanaugh hearings.
06:33The Oscar winner gives an amazing performance as an unhinged guy trying to justify his frat boy past.
06:39Drawing from the real event, SNL pushes it even further
06:42as the guest actor shouts his way through a series of hysterical moments.
06:47That beer you like to drink.
06:48Are we talking foreign or domestic?
06:52I drink American beer.
06:55You ain't drinking Heineken on us!
06:56I drink American beer!
06:58No further questions!
07:00The writing allows the performer to show off his comedic chops
07:03as the rants become more bizarre.
07:05Damon gives it all the dedication of one of his dramatic films,
07:09but he also knows when to ratchet up the intensity for the full effect.
07:13But what I've seen from the monsters on this committee
07:16makes me want to puke and not from beer.
07:21Number 4, Mike Myers as Elon Musk.
07:36After his successful SNL career and beloved movie franchises,
07:41Mike Myers is more than up to the task of impersonating this tech billionaire.
07:46Elon Musk is not the easiest impression either,
07:49making this a more difficult role to pull off.
07:52Myers took on the part during a particularly contentious time in American politics.
07:57It's so awesome, man.
07:59It's awesome.
08:00It's awesome.
08:00And in addition to Doge,
08:02we've started another initiative called
08:04the Department of Undoing Child Healthcare and Education,
08:08or Douche.
08:13Douche is going to be epic.
08:15Given the timing of everything,
08:17this appearance made waves for its critique of the man's personality,
08:21his relationship with Trump,
08:22and his role with Doge.
08:24The former Saturday Night Live star
08:26is even better when he's given free reign to be silly.
08:29I want to thank you for at least wearing a suit this time.
08:33Doesn't look great, right?
08:35Billionaire, but he shops a Joseph A. Bank.
08:38It's giving groomsmen.
08:40Good one, Donald.
08:42Good one, glitch.
08:43Buffering.
08:47I'm back, I'm back, I'm back.
08:50Number three, Sebastian Maniscalco as Marcelo Hernandez.
08:54You're not going to believe it.
09:00I'm driving my car.
09:03And I got the stick shift going.
09:06And then the traffic was on another level.
09:10As one of the newer cast members on SNL,
09:13Marcelo Hernandez made waves for his take on Sebastian Maniscalco.
09:17The cast member shows off his range
09:19and an energetic impersonation of this stand-up.
09:22Hernandez does not hold back
09:24as a lively comedian willing to get physical.
09:27The performer can really move his body around
09:29along with making some impressive jumps over co-stars.
09:33And it's not the type of obstacle you can step over it.
09:37No, you're going to have to jump over the middle of it.
09:42While interrupting a bachelor party,
09:44this version of Maniscalco finds all of the comic exaggerations
09:48to bring this public figure to life.
09:50The target later acknowledged the effective portrayal
09:53with a good-hearted response.
09:55Every day, I have to quiet down my inner Sebastian.
09:59I gotta push you down.
10:01I gotta say no now.
10:04Wow, sorry, we didn't know that.
10:06It's okay.
10:07So, no way for you to know that.
10:09Number two, Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton.
10:35During her tenure on SNL, Kate McKinnon became one of the standout performers in the 2010s.
10:41Her work spanned plenty of different political figures and celebrities.
10:44But her role as Hillary Clinton might have been the most noteworthy.
10:48She played the politician during the 2016 election cycle opposite Alec Baldwin's Donald Trump.
10:54The two formed a comedic chemistry,
10:56while McKinnon found a quirky energy for her own impersonation.
11:00Secretary Clinton, did you have a response?
11:04Um...
11:09Not a, uh, not a response, more of a request.
11:12Can America vote right now?
11:14Following the election, the cast member opened the show with a sobering rendition of the song Hallelujah.
11:20This marked a unique moment for the show to look back on a historic point in American political history.
11:26You can say what you want about the execution, but McKinnon always seemed game to try anything.
11:33Hallelujah.
11:36Hallelujah.
11:40Hallelujah.
11:43Hallelujah.

12:05Number one, Tina Fey is Sarah Palin.
12:08New York is, of course, home to the liberal media elite, but Todd and the kids had a great time
12:14going to the Central Park and the FAO Schwarz and that goofy Evolution Museum.
12:23During the 2008 election cycle, SNL struck gold with this miraculous casting choice.
12:29Tina Fey famously returned to play the governor of Alaska.
12:33Her version of Sarah Palin might look familiar, but she's also eager to make statements about diplomacy.
12:40The folksy delivery and sharp writing connected with viewers and became one of Fey's most famous contributions to the show.
12:46I believe that diplomacy should be the cornerstone of any foreign policy.
12:52And I can see Russia from my house.
12:56It was such a popular impersonation that the former cast member kept returning for more.
13:01Fey's extraordinary work could steal away scenes, with the actress using a clever one-liner or two.
13:08The real politician even showed up, acknowledging the power of the impression's far-reaching influence.
13:13I mean, this is the most important election in our nation's history, and you want her, our Tina, to go
13:19out there and stand there with that horrible woman?
13:22What do you have to say for yourself?
13:24Alex, this is Governor Palin.
13:26Hi there.
13:27I see.
13:29Forgive me, but I feel I must say this.
13:33You are way hotter in person.
