SNL Impressions in Front of the Actual Person

[@davidristic3800]

So far in my 51 years of life, nothing has made me laugh harder than when Eddie Murphy tells Stevie Wonder to "watch this..."

[@JuanPatricioIzquierdo]

I thought the same exact thing hahahaha 😂😂😂😂

[@tmike_tc]

1:46 Maybe my favorite SNL skit of all time! Eddie Murphy is running a Stevie Wonder Impersonation business, and Stevie Wonder shows up to ask for a job. Eddie won’t hire him because he doesn’t do a convincing enough ‘Stevie Wonder.’ Then he takes pity on him, and decides to help Stevie fine-tune his impression of himself. Maybe Eddie Murphy at his best, and just another glimpse of the loving genius that Stevie Wonder is.

[@Scottie-McC]

You know Stevie ain't blind right

[@davidlincolnbrooks]

Actually-- blind people use visual metaphors and language ALL THE TIME. It ain't no thang.

[@milascave2]

When Stevie Wonder was asked how he felt about Eddie Murphy's impersonations of him, he said, "I haven't seen it."

[@filipboholm6854]

Tina fey as sarah palin is terrifyingly accurate

[@trevorramballe2826]

It's what destroyed her political career. It was so damaging that she, the real Sarah Palin, had to come on the show to do damage control, lol.

[@gamble777888]

Lisa Ann was pretty accurate too

[@tmike_tc]

1:46 Don’t forget Eddie Murphy’s Stevie Wonder.

When Eddie asked Stevie to "watch this"... 🤣🤣

okay

[@TheThejpmshow]

That Jim Carrey was so good lol, even head movements

[@omricabaza]

It was alright.. wasn't exaggerated enough. Take it from me. I mafe impressions of carrey on stage for 30 years. Its a crazy boost of energy. Anyone can do the head movement ect. You gotta think clown on crack if you wanna go carrey😊

Breuer is the man, so funny

[@cuttingconversations5161]

The fact that Nicholas Cage never even came close to breaking confirms he's the legend we know him to be.

Great actor but I think he was being dead ass serious, lol

[@garyrasberryjr.552]

The Mike Myers as Mick is made even better with Mick playing Keith.

[@Milesco]

Totally agree! That really made it. 👍

[@zanemurcha9742]

I thought it was Willem Dafoe for a second I don't know why. But yeah it's totally Mick

[@billieseyelashes]

4:25 there is something about the shaky melancholy of the mary-kate olsen impersonation that is so amazing and spot on to me "hey zoe i haven't seen you since we both tried to pick the same wild flower😓"

[@scottwebster8756]

SNL cast as Christopher Walken was the best. 😂

[@krg1965]

And Walken doing Walken was brilliantly done - bigger than him but not over the top. Guy's a brilliant actor. And a lovely dancer, too.

[@randallulrich]

More cow bell!

[@1990matt]

Especially bill hader

[@ANMAnation]

6:17 Why you gotta end just as Christopher Walken be spitting facts?

[@buddahthebaptist5767]

Idk why but Hilary Clinton shaking Kate’s hand and saying “Hi I’m Val” always gets me

[@scottw6704]

Me too but I can't think why exactly. It's like she took deadpan to a whole new level.

[@r5t6y7u8]

(For better or worse, HRC is a surprisingly good actress.)

[@its.a.me.mario12]

💀

[@charliec.6285]

List is incomplete without David Spade doing Michael J. Fox while Fox is doing Danny Bonaduce.

[@matttrafton2725]

[@chapingaryjr]

Do you mean WALKEN

[@patchesohoulihan949]

Joe Pesci..?

[@RetroGameNova]

The Jim Carey impersonations are awesome

[@CarnivorousCowMan]

Mike Myers’s Mick Jagger impression is hilarious 😂😂 I don’t even know about accuracy, but it alone is hilarious

[@megan7292]

Fallon’s Seinfeld impression was perfect!

[@garyrasberryjr.552]

A couple of others: John Belushi as Joe Cocker singing with Joe Cocker. Former US Senator Bob Dole breaking into a sketch with Dan Aykroyd as Bob Dole. Former US Attorney General Janet Reno breaking into a sketch where Will Ferrell playing Janet Reno.

[@pancudowny]

@@garyrasberryjr.552 How about Belushi and Marlon Brando doing "Dueling Brandos"?😆

[@FrancisGalton117]

The Joe Cocker/John Belushi as Joe Cocker bit was comedy gold! Watch the video and you can see Cocker was trying not to bust out laughing. Legendary. 🤣

[@mithcee]

The Janet Reno one was fantastic, it was the last SNL before the Clinton administration left office. He had been doing Janet Reno's Dance Party for years 😄

[@droopy_eyes]

Some are ok, some are incredible. Especially few people did terrific voices. And kudos for Fire Marshal Bill bit! Not sure if Jim knew it was coming, but it felt like he really laughed genuinely for a second there.

[@PhoenixFlamez07]

Cecily pulled it off perfectly

[@dottspuzz]

The perfect impression of Sarah Palin was nailed from Lisa Ann

[@johndub3866]

Which is odd as she got nailed too

[@TYRONE_SHOELACES]

[@TYRONE_SHOELACES]

I was 16 years old when SNL FIRST came on the air. Living in Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada...our City just got cable for the first time, out of Bangor, Maine in 1976. SNL was so good back then, that as teenagers, we would make it a point to be in front of a TV for that hour almost every Saturday night, if you didn't, you could only listen to all the jokes that were made on Monday at school instead of being the guy to tell them. The power of that show was incredible, it was so much a part of us living in 76'...I had just gotten my driver's license, was using weed for the first time...too bad it was 300 dollars for ONE little ounce back then. Comedy was GOOD in the 70's ... people like Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Robin Williams, Lenny Bruce, hell....eve Fostor Brooks could make us piss our pants with his drunken routine on Celebrity Roast with Dean Martin.

[@sstaners1234]

You forgot: John Belushi and Joe Cocker Bill Hader and John Malkovich. Tom Hanks and Jeopardy Tom Hanks

[@lsmftymf]

Arnold Schwarzenegger with Hans & Franz (Dana Carvey & Kevin Nealon), too.
