Impersonator of their time.

 

(did I get any of you with getting your dander up???)

 

My biggest memories are of Akroyd as Carter talking about lusting in his heart after the infamous Carter interview in Playboy.

 

And I strongly remember Rich Little doing Nixon and the "I am not a crook" line.

 

Or Carvey and "it wouldn't be prudent." I still say that.

 

Hammon as Clinton was hilarious. Of course, Clinton as Clinton was pretty funny himself.

 

And honestly, as a two-time voter for GW, I don't know whether Steve Bridges or GW is funnier when they speak.

My first memory of anyone impersonating a president was on a record (for those of you still in school, a "record" was a circular disk of vinyl which spun on a "turntable") called "The First Family", featuring Vaughn Meader. Hilarious! Then came Rich Little as Nixon.

 

Bridges does a great Dubya.

 

Anyone remember Johnny Carson doing a send-up of the "Who's on First" routine? Yasser. No sir.

I have the Carson tapes at home. Can a mod add Johnny Carson doing Reagan on the poll? He was great.

Rich Little did a pretty good impersonations of Carter, Reagan, Nixon. I had a cassette tape of that.

What about Chevy Chase as Gerald Ford?

Ladies, you are a tease. I had all kind of men going thru my head.

The best is Hammond doing Clinton....But my favorite skits were the Gore/GW skits of 2000. With Hammond and Ferrell...Lockbox and Strategery....and Them being co-Presidents to the odd-couple.

Wouldn't be prudent not to vote for Dana Carvey.

I was stuck between Carvey and Hammond, but I voted for Hammond. I also loved Will Ferrell as GW.

hard to leave off Will Ferrell as W!

We had one if the "First Family" records. I think he made a couple of them, at least.

I agree. That 2000 one was a classic!

You are correct. There was a third one in the works at the time of Kennedy's assasination. There was also a TV special planned. Mr. Meader was so associated with his impressions of President Kennedy that within days of the assination all of his billings were canceled, even though Kennedy impressions were just a small part of his stage show.

You might want a mod to change the poll to be "Dana Carvey" rather than "Dana Carver". I'm sure your costing him votes, with the typo.

 

It would be "Quid Pro Quo" for me to attribute this mistake to LBCC...
