Matt Friend's Bill Maher impersonation is flawless. He gets the smugness down to a perfected artform 100%.

Pouring a cooler full of Gatorade on Tim after winning the election would be hilarious actually. 🤣

Matt Friend is awesome in imperssonating..

[Dont.Call.Me.Tall.]

I want to hear him say "the late great Hanibal Lecter" now. 😂

Holy crap! I remember when I was a voice actor during the Covid Crisis and joining him "on stage" back when the iPhone App Clubhouse was booming, and we got to do banter back and forth as Peter Griffin and Joe Swanson. This guy is a LEGEND at impressions and also bringing people together when the world was in a darker place. Thank you Matt!

The Anderson Cooper giggle is inside your nose, like a 12 year old being tickled by her crush for the first time

It's good of Jim Acosta to frequently have Matt on to highlight his prodigious talents and to give him well-deserved exposure

You can’t expect change that you want if you continue to vote for the same people in power.
