SNL's Melissa Villaseñor's amazing celebrity impressions of J. Lo, more

Melissa Villaseñor's first appearance on TV after America's Got Talent was on WGN, and now she's back to give us some amazing celebrity impressions. She shares who her favorite impression to do is. She talks about doing an Adam Sandler impression in front of him during SNL.

[@florenomorence1492]

That Kristen Wiig impersonation was spot-on!

[@eolsunder]

Amazing wasn't it. I like how Jerry was laughing and smiling just waiting for it, he knew it was going to be good and was already smiling.

[@AthenaGM]

1st time me listening to this impersonation. I almost dropped my phone when I heard it, ah-mazing!

[@vincentjohnflorio]

Not to say I'm an expert or anything, but if you told me that -was- Kristen, I wouldn't have second-guessed it even a half of a percent. It's uncanny. I always figure it'd be a little hard for some people to perfectly nail a voice like that, because it can't sound accurate in her head like it does to us, so I wonder if she listened to recordings of herself and just remembers what she is doing/what she hears so she knows if it comes out right. Or maybe she thinks she's bang-on with the voice in her head, but she's wrong and her wrongness happens to sound perfect to us.

[@paulcanis6297]

agree totally. it was like for a split second, Kristen was right there. Melissa needs more love from the SNL writers. Remember Kristen Wiig's overly nervous woman? The one who can't calm down? I could see Melissa doubling up and both of them creating a hilarious skit. Two surgical nurses?

It is a biological imperative actually. Are you new to biology, language, or just Earth in general?
