That Show – Political Impressions, Pt. 2
Listen now
Description
It's an election year, so Nick revisits some of the most iconic political impressions in "Saturday Night Live" history. In Part 1 of this series, Nick focused on impressions performed by guest stars and hosts rather than regular cast members. In Part 2, cast members are showcased, and you'll hear the background stories about the impressions, who wrote the bits and sketches, and the full sketches themselves. You'll hear Dan Aykroyd's classic Jimmy Carter, Kate McKinnon's hilariously grotesque parody of Jeff Sessions, Darrell Hammond's spot-on Bill Clinton, and get two Bushes for the price of one when Dana Carvey and Will Ferrell play H.W. and W. in one sketch. This is the latest in a series of politically themed episodes of "THAT SHOW..." scheduled throughout 2024, leading up to the November election. [Ep83]
