Everyone rightfully praising Cecily's Kari Lake, but I'm consistently amazed at how James Austin Johnson nails the Trump impression. The pronunciations, tone, gestures, timing...it's all spot on

[thewatching]

I love this guy who plays Donald Trump.
His ramblings are amazingly impressive.
And Kari was perfect.

"In terms of tree and with regard to...leaf." - this is gold.

[charleshessproductions]

"both in terms of tree, and with regard to, leaf" I can't 🤣🤣

[TihetrisWeathersby]

Her Kari Lake impression is spot on, I died laughing

[summerbrewster]

Cecily is a freaking legend. She can do Kari lake better than Kari does.

[richardmccaughey]

Cecily is unbelievably good. She inhabits the characters she portrays! And she is gorgeous to boot!

[VolvoImpala]

Cecily has Kari's voice perfectly.

[hgmet]

Cecily is an SNL powerhouse. She never misses.

[andrewsunde]

If you close your eyes, you can’t tell that it isn’t Trump. Best voice impression ever!

[acool]

Cecily really captured that Kari Lake “fool and bullshit” the audience kind of vibe and energy. Cecily is spot on.

[legendaryfuze]

Kari lake was spot on. She also literally said she would burn Arizona to the ground 🤣🤣🤣

[mshanga]

That "our system is broken" switch, has my ribs hurting 😂🤣😂🤣

[dawnholm]

Cecily & James nail these impressions, wow what a performance!

[jconny]

james's trump impression is so good

[ryne]

The Kari Lake and Trump impressions are two of the best, most accurate ones. So good!

[TheSunnydeni]

I think this is one of Cecily's strongest and most satisfying impersonations she has ever done.

[Barneyrubble]

James Austin Johnson does the best Trump impression I've ever seen. He's amazing.

[batgurrl]

Great cold open. Cecily’s Kari Lake impression is phenomenal. A real ‘thing of beauty’

[civil_villain]

I used to live in AZ and watched Kari Lake all the time - Cecily had her down so perfectly, it was uncanny!
