I was actually working for Bob Dole when this was aired. So hilarious.

I met Bob Doll when I worked in Congress - he treated us interns very kindly. What a good decent man.

Do you happen to know if he saw the video?

Dan Aykroyd looks like Mike Huckabee in this sketch.

Dan's Canadian accent slipping through at 4:39

[@JM-dy4ty]

That “Mr. Putin” at 2:28 really puts things into perspective. This was released in 2003 and he’s still president!

damn it i was hoping it was norm's bob dole

[@stereomanuk]

Dan Aykroyd looks like he could be Bill Hader's dad.

[@canaisyoung3601]

You're...not wrong. Dan Aykroyd when he was younger (as seen on the SNL opening credits in seasons 2, 3, and 4) looks like Bill Hader. Wonder if that's why Lorne hired him.

[@festus569]

Dan Aykroyd was a very good comedian and a good actor.

[@andrewfusco8580]

I liked Akroyd's angry/aggressive Dole best. Norm's Dole was funny, but too Norm.

Bob Dole would never have been that harsh.

[@499marvin]

No, but he would have wanted to be!

[@chrisspratlin5656]

Back when SNL made fun of both sides equally.

[@philthycoder]

Back when one of those sides wasn't simply a fascist mouthpiece with zero actual policies other than screwing over the 99 percent to further enrich the 1 percent. I actually laughed out loud when I saw Cheeto Hitler's campaign ad today about being the savior of social security and Medicare. Like, how scathing an assessment of our education system is it that every single citizen older than 12 doesn't immediately crack up at that BS?

Wow. Fake bob dole has a point

[@syncsummit]

God Aykroyd's Dole stinks.

[@lookbovine]

Wow, Aykroyd did a weak Norm Macdonald impression of Bob Dole rather than his own impression. Sadly failed.

[@KalOrtPor]

Aykroyd did a pretty spot-on and funny Dole in the late 80s and early 90s before Dole was as popularly known with the public from his presidential run, although Norm MacDonald made him funnier....I agree this was more of a weak effort.

[@inspectorjavert8443]

@@KalOrtPor it’s because “you ignorant slut” is Akroyds line.

[@johnbellocchio66]

Well. Dole did always look like he was one prune Danish short of constipation and that was reflected here ...
