Michael J. Fox's impersonation of Dan Quayle is excellent!

[cybersquire]

Dana Carvey just killing it!! Good to see Micheal J Fox as Dan "Potatoe" Quayle. And My main man Phil Hartman... still miss you, bud!

[peculiarjohn]

How on earth did Dana Carvey manage to take such a bland politician as Bush Senior and make such a vibrant, goofy caricature? I mean, for all the praise that Alec Baldwin got for his Trump impression or that Phil Hartman got for his Reagan or Clinton, those guys are pretty easy to impersonate because they're so distinct. GHWB is about as interesting as a block of wood, but it's such a funny impression.

love Dana carvery as George w bush. a thousand points of light.

[camillemckenzie]

That moment where the other guy reaches out to hold him in place made me burst out laughing.

[Fred.pSonic]

The great Phil Hartman had no lines and the same gruff expression throughout and as always is comedy gold.

[KINGHL]

Dana Carvey is nothing but joy and pleasure to watch. Hartman is so good!!

[arturs]

The blondie(Dan Quayle) behind Bush, is Michael J.Fox, the other(who sort of controls him is Phil Hartman)this Sketch is from 1991

[TheFilipinaWifeLife]

I cant stop watching this. Lol Phil Hartman's face

[aabbb]

still relevant today. wish everyone would either remain sitting or standing the entire time. the whole standing ovation thing every 2 minutes with only the Democrats standing for a Democrat POTUS and only Republicans standing for a Republican POTUS is really obnoxious.

[DarkWoodsPresents]

It's so sad that Michael J. Fox, one of our most expressive characters was afflicted with Parkinson's disease. A disease that steals your best expressions and moves.

Was there a close up of Dick Cheney right after he said "tyranny"?

[thecharlesfoley]

I love what Phil did here too, as always.

[megahappybemeIntheStarz]

That looks like Michael J. Fox as Quayle ? I love how Quayle is out of step with everyone else, LOL.

[beacon]

Phil Hartman plays Tom Foley, Speaker of the House.

[faithfulforever]

I love how Michael J. Fox portrays Dan Quayle. He gives an image of being authoritative, yet he really hasn't a clue.

[dolcevito]

Naga-nah-da, wouldn't be prudent.

[MoongyrlGuru]

And to my vice president, Dan Quayle... tick, tick, tick, tick.. lmao 🤣

[fleetway]

Classic! I've been looking for this for ages.
