Much rather hear more of the impressions and less of the narration.Sorry

[janetclaireSays]

It would have been nice to just be able to see the impressions.

[louisesorensen]

Too much talk from the narrator. Just introduce the clip and show it.

[mwolkove]

You know what would be neat? Actually showing the impressions instead of talking over them.

[caramama]

I actually laughed out Loud when Eddie Murphy told Stevie Wonder "watch this..."🤣🤣

[KickintheK]

I love how these Mojo videos talk about the clips then show maybe 5% of the actual clip. "The greatest bit is when Aniston and Bayer synchronize...it's amazing!" "Oh man, can't wait to see this clip". Skips ahead. Thanks Mojo ya damn tease.

Personally Tina Fey as Sarah Palin will always be my favorite. So spot on.

You make a video about great impressions done in front of the actual person, then hardly play the performances. You tout what an incredible event it was when Jennifer Aniston and Vanessa Bayer synchronize their performances and even seem to harmonize on saying "WHAT" at the same time....and then you cut away to the next performer INSTEAD OF SHOWING THIS THING YOU SAID WAS INCREDIBLE. Why would I watch this??

Mojo explaining each impersonation: 3 hours
Actual impersonation moments on this Mojo video: 3 seconds

John Belushi as Joe Cocker hands down I have no words

[mrsbluesky]

You forgot one of the best impressions when Jimmy Fallon did Mick Jagger. Jagger speaks to “himself” in a mirror asking for advice. Truly hilarious.

[arinzei]

Tina Fey playing Palin was so spot on. I did t even know that was Palin standing next to Baldwin.

[zekeike]

Andy Samberg as Mark Walberg was the best. Then Mark confronting Samberg was epic. Say hello to your mother for me.

[cheesezeppelin]

I just listened to a interview with Norm MacDonald he said that the origins for the celebrity Jeopardy sketch originated on SC TV and Eugene Levy wrote it original sketch
Fun fact

[mattyh]

The Walken bit is amazing! So many impressions of him but the family reunion beats them all. Should have had Jay Pharoah as Denzel in there.

[wullyjo]

I have long loved the Belushi / Cocker skit. I believe that at some point in reference to Belushi's work, Cocker stated that "Mockery is the sincerest form of flattery."

My favorite part of Will Farrell as Janet Reno is him making his voice deeper to play her.

[TPTGopher]

Best part of #11: according to Jim Breuer's autobiography, when they actually met earlier in the week, Pesci confronted him about the less-than-flattering impression - showing particular disdain for someone who wasn't Italian doing such a spoof - in a manner almost to the sketch; while Pesci then assured him he was just fucking around, to this day Breuer believes he was absolutely serious.

[thesegoodgames]

the best was Mic Jagger & Fallen looking at talking to each other in the mirror. That was the best impersonation and both Mic & Fallen, cracking up the entire time.

Eddie Murphy " Watch this..." 😂🤣 And Stevie "OK.." 😂
