Tina Fey imitating Sarah Palin on SNL. Priceless!

[davidwalter]

What's great about all of these is that the celebrity being imitated goes along with the joke. They think it's funny and they know it's done out of affection and not cruelty. They really take delight in it, and that's healthy. And I love Hiddleston's take on Graham Norton, too. He got the inflection, the pace, and even the mannerisms perfect. And look at how amused Norton was! He loved it!

maybe less talking and more showing would be better. you have the footage why you explain instead of showing the impression itself?

[mantequilla]

Andy Samberg impersonating Mark Wahlberg would have been a good one to add

[lindabarnhouse]

Vanessa Bauer doing Jennifer Aniston on SNL is one of the best IMO.

[emiebex]

Andy Samberg in front of Nicholas Cage that was brutal but in a funny way.

[thefemalemantis]

I never get tired of Tom Hiddleston doing his impression of Graham Norton

[shanetography]

When you are thrown a surprise birthday party, and the host talks about themselves for 59 out of every 60 minutes. That's WatchMojo.

[ChrisMovieUniverse]

Lol that takes a lot of balls to do in front of some of the actual people.

[alexcamacho]

Hader is always on target. His Alan Alda and Harvey Fierstein are spot on.

[St.Linguini_of_Pesto]

Fallon is an incredible impressionist, I believe he has what people would call a "good" ear.

[InfinityDaniel]

12:01 - Wat?! thought it was over!

Watchmojo: Why?? We needed someone (like you) to shout out over.

Me: Ah! Gotcha!

[ZyliceLiddell]

Her trying to do Tom’s impression of Graham Norton at the end there! 😂👌

[ashleybrown]

Frank Caliendo is one of the best impressionists ever, not just this century

[mightybk]

You left out Dana Carvey imitating Dennis Miller on Weekend Update on SNL -- including little things that most would have missed, such as Miller's little head bob move he would do at times.

[MrTylerPDX]

Your level of communication intelligence is unmatched imo

[lkajiess]

Just wanted to mention that John Malkovich is one of the sweetest celebrities I've ever met. The man is super considerate and humble. Success couldn't happen for a nicer guy.

[St.Linguini_of_Pesto]

Caliendo is likely the _best!_
I love Hader's Vincent Price impression.. I know it isn't included on this list, but it is a great impression of a great actor by a great actor.

One of the funniest to me was the Sofia Vergara impersonation
