Nick spotlights five of the greatest impressionists in Saturday Night Live history — Dana Carvey, Chloe Fineman, Darrell Hammond, Bill Hader, and Melissa Villaseñor. Each performer brought a unique brilliance to the art of mimicry, shaping decades of the show’s comedy legacy. From Carvey’s classic takes on George Bush and Johnny Carson to Hammond’s uncanny Bill Clinton and Hader’s pitch-perfect Al Pacino, Nick revisits some of the most unforgettable impressions ever seen on the SNL stage.
