    The Colbert getting cancelled thread inspired this thread.

    I like all the SNL ones but I'm partial to Dana Carey's GHB, Not gonna do it

    GodFrey - Obama is good - does a good Trump too
    Key and Peele - Obama in two parts is funny as heck
    I loved Carvey
    Will Ferrell was a'ight as Dubb Ya
    Alec was ok as Trump

    Godfrey is always good vocally
    but who carries an impersonation visually . . .. good question.

    Phil Hartman was a bit underrated as Reagan

    Biden was passable for a couple of years.

    I don't remember who it was, but he did the best Millard Fillmore.

    Jimmy Carter and the Orange Sunshine always made me laugh. Maybe not the BEST impression, but funny.

    Shane Gillis' Trump impersonation is probably the best of any President I've ever seen.

    Lots of people do Clinton and Bush well because they're relatively easy and rife for parody.

    Obama and Reagan are more difficult to do, but generally not as popular to skewer.

    Tons of people do Trump and do it poorly, but Gillis nails it. It's spooky how good it is.

    James Austin Johnson as Trump, by far. His stream-of-consciousness babble is unmatched.

    Jamie Foxx also does a great Trump.

    That guy on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour that did GWB was uncanny valley good.

    James Austin Johnson's Trump is really good. He totally nails all the subtle voice inflections and speech habits. I close my eyes and I think it really is Trump talking.

    I'll have to check out Shane Gillis. Never seen his.

    What with not posting videos?

    Larry David nailed his Sanders impersonation


    Also, Will Ferrell as W


    Lastly, Jim Carrey as Biden


    And as an honorable mention, this is just a great skit overall

    Bob Dole was not a fan of Norm MacDonald doing Dan Ackroyd doing Bob Dole.

    There's a radio commercial (yeah I know) out of Austin that has fake GW Bush and Bill Clinton. It's pretty high quality, I don't change the station when one of their spots comes on, if that says anything.
