[@Freeden]

Tom Hiddleston doing a near perfect impression of Graham Norton to his face is probably one of my favorite moments from that show.

[@dennismonk9559]

@s.o.s. diy repair close your eyes and thats Tracy talking, for sure

[@Missfavourites]

Me too!!!

[@Missfavourites]

He also did an impression of De Niro and Pacino I think

[@larisalynnortiz8979]

OH, MY GOD, YEEESSSS!!!!!

[@thefantasyreview8709]

Unexpected because he's the only person who has ever done Norton.

[@Lady_dromeda]

“Why was prince playing bass in my face” I laughed so much

[@jackierenee1691]

"he's always being a meanie" 😂

[@blackdogbrown]

Sameee!!! I wish there was a video of that. I would've loved to see Prince doing that to Michael. 🤣

[@someguy2744]

"Well, Michael. Prince probably wanted to impress you because he thinks highly of you - although, he might have come off a little too strong, but he means well."

[@Ultradude604]

@@jackierenee1691 Yeah, Prince was intimidated, jealous of or something by MJ. It was true. It's not just this instance.

[@malcolm9650]

Prince maybe knew that Michael was up to no good!

[@allegro65]

These are all so good, but Ariana just blows me away with the accuracy of her impressions. Her Jennifer Lawrence was uncanny!

[@JayBigDadyCy]

Ridiculous. Not a fan of her music, but she could have a spot on SNL and I wouldn't be mad about it 🤣

[@reinaldopessoa2603]

@@JayBigDadyCy what's ridiculous?

[@SusaVile]

@@reinaldopessoa2603 I believe the "ridiculous" is meant as "so ridiculously good", as in, we can all see that she surprised by how cool those impressions were

[@doubledutchclutch]

I had no idea Ariana could actually act after seeing her in an episode of that Nickelodeon show she co-starred in. Her Jennifer Coolidge was terrifyingly accurate.

[@bodenkree7053]

@@reinaldopessoa2603 from everything they said... THAT is what you want to mention? 🧐🧐🙄🙄 It's almost like you're looking for a problem 🤦🤦🤦🤦

[@lyingcat9022]

Ariana and Eddie Murphy had the voices down perfectly. They could do voice overs for these people and no one would know the difference

[@andu1854]

Eddie has always been great at impressions

[@lovelessangel731]

YES 🙌🏼 they were perfect 🤩

[@kukelure1724]

I'm speechless with Ariana's impression of Coolidge.. come on..

[@krel3358]

I'm impressed by her Jennifer Lawrence as well, she's surprisingly talented.

[@theprousteffect9717]

Ariana is a huge Coolidge fan and Best in Show is her favorite film. It's an impression purely out of love and respect, and those are often the best.

[@SnowPiercer1975]

I agree. Her impressions are the ones that surprised me the most. I've seen her do some really good singing impressions of other artists as well

[@jamezkpal2361]

Astounding

[@maxstr]

Ariana does a lot of excellent impressions

[@bknsty14]

“Why was Prince playing the bass in my face?” has to be one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.

[@BeautyByKassy]

even the pauses she made while talking is so Gal Gadoty lmao

[@eddiek8179]

Nope. She sounded like Zsa Zsa Gabor.

[@christoferburgett7600]

She was the least funny / accurate impersonation

[@domls1317]

@@eddiek8179 agreed

[@domls1317]

@Michael Wilford she is usually pretty funny and spot on with her impersonations but not this one.

[@holzbruch296]

Ariana suprised me the most, especially with her Jennifer Lawrence impression.

[@berryhij1]

Her impressions are amazing. If it haven’t seen it, look up her impression of Celine Dion.

[@holzbruch296]

@@berryhij1 will do!

[@generalilbis]

@@berryhij1 The chest thump sells the impression so hard!

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

She should do all the Jennifers now that she did Jennifer Coolidge and Jennifer Lawrence. Gotta do Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Hudson, Jennifer Garner, etc.

[@tlgentry87]

Jennifer Coolidge

[@williamchapple8886]

Ian Mckellen’s Maggie Smith is still one of my favourite stories ever, such a great impression

[@simonanderson9656]

My only gripe is that he mispronounces Pounamu (the New Zealand traditional greenstone ornaments). He basically remembered the word incorrectly, and pronounces it POO-nami, which is both accidentally hilarious because it sounds like he is combining poo and tsunami - but also not even remotely how the word is actually pronounced It's Pounamu. Difficult to write it phonetically, but it's pronounced more like POW- nuh-mo.

[@Fletchman1313]

Yeah, I totally thought he said "punani". Which is something very different.

[@Sandra-bx6yy]

​@@simonanderson9656pounamu has an oo sound at the end

[@CaptPoco]

@@simonanderson9656 I think he had it confused with the pacific-islander word for pussy "punani"

[@saragavranovic]

I laughed so hard as soon as he finished telling the story 🤣🤣🤣

[@Shane-Flanagan]

Ariana's voice is quite distinct so its quite something to hear her do versatile impressions especially that one of Jennifer Coolidge 😂

[@vanessareal9826]

Ariana's impressions should be an album in itself. they're so GOOD!

[@CanadaDan]

Arianna's impersonations were spot on, I'm impressed tbh

[@lavenberry]

Sarah Paulson is very good at impressions. She did quite a few accurately.

[@mickioswald8395]

[@nicolaibrowinkel3473]

Sarah Paulson is hopelessly underrated

[@sheilaburns8977]

Yes, I agree.

[@shannmaddox1836]

And the Holly Hunter too! Spot on!

[@helmaroc259]

Ariana’s Coolidge is ridiculous, and her Jennifer Lawrence is great too. I had no idea she could do that

[@Simsrockslol]

she started as an actress lol

[@heliosolace]

Eddie Murphy's impression of Tracy Morgan FLOORED me!! 😆🤣

[@nova_kane]

Ariana not only does the voices perfectly but her comic timing is masterful, didn't see that coming at all.

[@ktvindicare]

That's not fair, Eddie Murphy can impersonate damn near anyone.

[@NickPR87]

That whole episode of the Graham Norton show with Hugh, Patrick and Ian was phenomenal! There were a lot of LOL moments.

[@jonathangill6584]

I’m not a particularly big Ariana fan, but her impressions are SPOT ON.

[@wolfiepyxiestudios1408]

1:00 “Pineapple... I like-I like to eat it." That part just had me laughing for no reason other than the way it was said and how out of context it sounds!

[@michaelscampini1573]

Ariana was good at both Coolidge and Lawrence

[@ramihajyounesmontoya5194]

Sir Ian's Maggie Smith was brilliantly sassy and hilarious 😂😂😂😂❤

[@Sassy2525]

Chris Pratt cracked me up, lol. Also, Ian Mckellen, that was unexpected!

[@katyavinogradova7688]

Why did Tom stop doing impressions? He is brilliant! And Kate should just do an entire movie as Gal Gadot opposite Ariana as JLaw and Anna Kendrick as KStew.

[@timothygraham4304]

I don't think impressions pay as well as his current gig. Did he stop, though? There's going to be a point when you're no longer asked to perform like a monkey, because the novelty is gone.

[@coryifxckinhateyou9399]

First kstew lol who the hell ever called her that just dont be that person with nicknames that never called her that

[@zephyrjet122]

Take my money, I'd watch! 🤑

I would definitely watch!

[@cuffed2479]

I'd watch that twice in the cinema and then buy 5 DVDs of it.

Tom Hiddleston's Graham Norton impersonation was spot on

[@robertwilliams060]

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

[@doubledutchclutch]

Thanks for the compilation. High quality. Some of the stories they told were even better than the impersonations they gave, but really all of the impersonations were amazing.

[@tamirerdenebat2571]

Oh... Maggie Smith just savage 😆

[@WR_CTorch]

“I watch Dateline” Best laugh of the entire video!

[@andrewtempalski5783]

[@BenFromCanada]

So well edited, thank you for not blowing out the runtime

[@spencer.althouse]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

[@JohnSmith-cc3ud]

I know the Gal Gadot one was on point because she made it feel like the sun on the back of your neck when she spoke. 💚

[@dazem8]

That story about Katharine Hepburn made me laugh out loud. She really gave zero fks 😆 and Martin Short is a treasure.

[@DK-jy4jb]

Martin Short did a great Hepburn impersonation back in the '80s on an SNL short film called "Lifestyles of the Relatives of the Rich and Famous" -- need to find that VHS tape that I made of that show way back when

[@poglej]

I've watched all of these many times and now I have them all in one video. Subscribed!

[@jacobpaint]

I was so surprised to see that this was actually a compilation of good impressions and the “best” in the title wasn't complete riffle. Grande is delightful, I don't expect such good impressions from such pretty pop stars. I noticed that you included Hiddleston doing his Graham Norton impression but not the Impression of Deniro that he also did in front of him - what Graham meant when he said, “I know how you feel” to Bob.

[@englandportugal91]

Was great to watch! So funny! Thanks for sharing!
