Really glad Ross Perot was included in this. I remember watching the real Ross Perot when he was running for office. Dana Carvey's impression was spot on.

Hands down, Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer. Even apart from her penchant for embodying the essence of rageful indignation, the surprise appearance made the whole show.

I love Chris Farley as the mayor's son

[kidando]

No way. Johnson as trump should be at the top

[archangeljophiel]

You should have put Nate Bargatze as #1. His skit playing George Washington is the funniest skit they ever had in a long time.

A new Zeitgeist... you are too much. ha ha

Amy's Hillary Clinton impression is top ten, at least.

Carvey’s Bush should be #1, unless you like Ferrell’s Bush. Then again Hammond’s Lockbox skit was the best!

[candice_ecidnac]

Cecily Strong is too gorgeous to even jokingly portray Marjorie Taylor Green. Cecily is like a NY 6 and MTG is a Mordor 2.

Hammond did great impressions but his VP Al Gore was scary good.

[batgurrl]

Excellent impressions, My faves are Maya Rudolf as Kamala Harris, Kate McKinnon as everyone she did, Melissa McCarthy as Spicer, Alec Baldwin as Trump. Larry David as Bernie Sanders the very best

[jenplinguist]

I really miss Alec as Trump. He was quintessential.

[Musicfan.]

Hartman as Clinton should’ve been #1 hands down

Never commented on something this early. Hello from Kansas City Kansas...

SNL has not maximized its political jokes and impressions over the last 10 years. comedy above politics.
