Nice Job !!
Thank you for including the often overlooked Rich Little. He pioneered celebrity impressions/impersonations. I grew up watching him on TV and have always been a fan of his.
Mr. Little is a phenom impersonator. The others that are listed are good, but can they do as many impersonations as Mr. Little? ( upwards of at least if not more than 200 voices )
It's still hard to see a video with Robin Williams in it. He was such an icon. R.I.P.
indeed
+Zac Miller doesn't make it any easier
+Zac Miller doesnt change the fact that his fans miss him
+Joseph Ocasio I loved the man. Not many actors can be incredibly funny and win an oscar for drama at the same time in their careers. He would be my number one for impressions though. At least three people on this list is better than he is in my opinion.
I know when she said "he WAS..." I bursted out crying....
I'm still sad about Robin William's passing. Guy was so talented, funny and was a big part of my childhood growing up watching his shows and movies. Rest in paradise, man.
+Mike cushinberry I'm not meaning to insinuate anything but are you aware its Rest In Peace, Not Paradise
+MsRainbow Brite sshh let him have his moment of grief 😔
Thats Too mainstream
Me thinks it was done on his phone and auto correct is to blame
What if peace IS paradise?
I've been pretty obsessed with Kate McKinnon impressions lately and I'm not a big SNL fan by any means. That Hillary Clinton impression is spot on.
Kate McKinnon only honorable mentions? She is amazing
No jay pharaoh got screwed he should of been top 3
She should have taken Tina Feys spot, Tina lives and dies off one amazing impression. She herself admits she is not a real impressionist.
I don't find her funny, I feel that she tries too hard to be funny and doesn't even get that funny of a result. And she's just so overrated getting roles in movies, different shows for being as unfunny as she is.
Sayoayum somewhere there is a person who doesn’t find Eddie Murphy funny. It takes all kinds.
Kate McKinnon and Jay Pharoah got screwed
Jay Pharaoh should have been on this list big time, too. He can do more spot on impressions than most on this countdown combine.
so true
@Sal m Kanye & denzel Washington & he's spot on! 😂😂
Kate McKinnon is one of the greatest female impressionists, if not the greatest. She can do impressions of men even! Just like then too.. Kristen Wiig should have been an honorable mention.
Golden Goddess literally in the Fallon interviews Kristen doesn’t even stay in character and completely forgets the accent.... she’s still comedy gold though and one of the best SNL’s ever had but I would totally switch her and Kate out
A long time ago, a series called 'SCTV' showcased some wonderful mimics. Andrea Martin and Catherine O'Hara were incredible. John Candy got his start here, as did (I think) Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas and Eugene Levy.
Yeah they had some great impersonations that were very funny, good call!
2 **s for remembering Rich Little! Loved him when I was a little kid!
I love Tina Fey, but I don't think she belongs on this list. She's said herself that doing impersonations isn't her strong suit, she just got lucky doing a perfect Palin. She's way more of both an actor and writer.
they included her but excluded Jay Pharoah who has the most spot on impressions of anyone.
Awww Rich Little! Oh man he made us laugh. Mom, Dad, my two brothers and I would all gather on Mom and Dad's king size bed to watch TV in the evenings. (Our television set was in their bedroom.) Rich Little was the only impersonator I grew up knowing.
Do people still remember Phil Hartman? He was such a talented guy too.
His Frank Sinatra was hysterical!
DareDB KPop z
DareDB KPop e
You might remember Phil Hartman from such characters as Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure.
Yaaaaaaaasssss
I loved Rich Little growing up
Rich Little, the best impressionist in history. I recall one Carson show in which he brought out pages of an impression list, and went down the line. He had hundreds of impressions down, but only gave us a small set of those.
Billy Crystal as Howard Cosell talking about Muhammed Ali was brilliant
In reality,Rich Little should have been #1. But he is so old school that I think WatchMojo thought it's younger crowd wouldn't know who he was. He was spot on with his impressions. He wasnt an actor that did a few good impressions,that WAS his whole act.
I prefer Lisa Ann doing the Sarah Palin impressions
This guy
* stands up and claps *
(¬_¬)ﾉ
+Camps2630 I see 2 big reasons why
+Camps2630 Well played, you legend!
Caliendo doing Freeman and Little's Carson both slayed me.
"I'm... inside you" ahahaha
That had me spit my coke
TK Yang AHAHA
Protip: next time snort it.
When you said #1 is Robin Williams - I cried. - - - - - - Brilliant actor.
Some of these SNL actors were so good that I could never get the actual person in my mind because their portrayal of the politician just kept popping up. Will as GWB, Darrell Hammond as Clinton were two of these but to this day when I see Tina Fey doing Palin the only thing I can hope for is laughs from the crowd to tell me it isn't Palin.
Good list. Glad to see Kristin Wiig and Jay Pharaoh mentioned. Both are excellent.
Definitely agree with the choice for number one
In some situations I'm simply not able to see if it's Sarah Palin that's on the screen or if it's Tina Fey acting like her😂😂😂😂
Hands down, Robin Williams is the GOAT of impressions.
God rest his soul. 🙏🏾
Not kidding, 90% of this list (including honorable mentions) are some of my favorite actors/comedians to watch, completely agree with this list!!
Great list. I personally would have moved a few here or there, but I can't argue that they're all great at what they do.
R.I.P. Robin Williams you will be Miss... 😢😢😢
Tina Fey is one of the greats, but shes no impersonator. Palin is the only impression she ever did. Its uncanny how spot on it is though
Thank you for remembering great Canadian, (a few in this list!), Rich Little. As far as I know he was one of the first TV impersonators, and he was great!
Rich Little: amazing. Robin Williams: brilliant.
"Well, it's no misrepresentation to say this icon was a madman with celebrity impressions."
I still can't believe we have to refer to Robin Williams in past tense. :(
HOW ARE YOU GONNA PUT BILL HADER ON THE LIST AND NOT FRICKIN BRING UP HIS ALAN ALDA IMPRESSION
Also, his Charlie Sheen
its offensive really
Sick video!
Another great list guys. It's sad watching Robin Williams, I grew up watching him on T.V. and he is missed greatly.
Bill Hader is one of the greatest impressionists ever
jim carrey is the first one to me.
Same
Robin Williams was the king of Impressions!
I dont know, both Robin and Jim are my tops!
Glad Dana Carvey was recognized in this list. He is one my favorite impressionists.
Chris Barrie, Phil Cool, Jon Culshaw, Alistair McGowan, Janet Brown, Jessica Martin, Mike Yarwood, Rory Bremner, Ronni Ancona, Debra Stephenson, Lenny Henry, Kate Robbins, Harry Enfield and John Sessions.
Jay Pharoah and Aries Spears should have been on this list over Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig
Jay for sure.
Robert Butler right exactly they wasnt even funny
Where is Debra Wilson? She was the best Oprah and Whitney Houston impersonator on MADTV. Obviously MOJO did not do their research.
When Ross Marquand was on talking dead and I found out he could do impressions, my heart melted
Robin was great and deserved a top 3 definitely but his best work was his collection of multiple original characters. I think the one they missed by a mile was not including PHIL HARTMAN!! Also, time will tell and this list was made a little early to be sure of her ultimate place but I believe Kate McKinnon will be considered one of the best when she has had more time to show her huge talent. I honestly can't wait to see her work in the future.
Teared up a bit when you said "was" when referring to Robin Williams. His Scotsmen inventing golf bit is my favorite
rip Robin Williams comedic genius
Om gosh I so adore SNL especially when the cast tries not to laugh during a skit. Impressionists are geniuses with golden voices.
Bill Hader’s Allen Alda is unbelievable
Why not just rename this top 10 SNl performers with a few other guys chucked in? Geeez!
Where are:
Rory Bremner;
Peter Serafinowicz;
Harry Enfield;
Alistair McGowan;
Ronni Ancona;
Jon Culshaw;
Debra Stephenson;
Steve Coogan;
Rob Brydon
Eddie murphy
I think that Mark Hamill should be on the list. He lives outside the limelight, so his talent in impersonating others is not widely known. However, when he tells anecdotes about his career or speaks about people he knows, Hamill just drops in and out in impersonating them without missing a beat. His impersonations of Harrison Ford, George Lucas and exp. Sir Alec Guinness are scary.
+Reckall I did not know that. interesting.
They may be excluding voice actors
It's just people who make their living doing impressions.
It's just people who make their living doing impressions.
Did you rinse?
' Kevin Bacon is Batman'....I had to pause the video to recover from the giggles. Gotta love Jim Carrey
Rich Little is and always will be my favorite #1 impersonator. As for Robin Williams, I still miss him. He was a very kind man. R.I.P. Robin. Never to be forgotten...
Good God how do Jay Pharoah and Darrell Hammond not get into the top ten? That is insane.
Frank Caliendo is my favorite.
What a group of folks who have amazing abilities.
Thank GOD you did this video
"We will not be adding celebrities that impersonate other celebrities"
:Puts all celebs that impersonate other celebs: SAVAGE
Where the fuck is Seth Macfarlane
Hader is so so so underrated!!!!!!!
The one actor/character that I absolutely LOVE IS WILL FERRELL AS HARRY CAREY!!! OMG !!! PURE PURE COMEDIC GOLD !!!!
no rip robin and all but Will Sasso beats his ass as an impressionist. In fact so could I Ever Hear Whitney Cummins John Leovitz and Phill Hartman come out of the same throat? Want to?
"I can smell you" ~Morgan Freeman
Robin Williams, the master. May he forever R.I.P. So miss him and his great talent.
Love your list. Robin Williams is the best by far. Good job.
Jay Pharoah is the best today.
I would've had people like Hammond and Hartman on the list before Hader and Kristen Wig
Yes, another Phil Hartman fan!
Exactlyyyy 🤦🏼♀️
Putting Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig at number 7 and 6 is a crime.
I miss Robin Williams. He inspired me to do voices when I first saw "Mrs. Doubtfire" and I've been doing them ever since. I would love to become a voice actress one day. But I don't know where to start. Thank you, Robin for giving me a drive to make others laugh even though I sometimes am not happy. Depression is a powerful thing, but laughter is always there to help me make it through.
Ryan Stiles if only for his Carol Channing.
what about anyone from "whose line".
Wayne Brady/ Collin Mockery/ Ryan Styles; they should have been honorable mentions at least.
Robin Williams - pygmée answering machine 😂 best one ever haha
Best list ever. Love Robin Williams was number one
RIP Robin! 😭☝🏻️
I like Will Ferrell but Aries Spears should've had his spot
no dave coulier ??????
+412_Fly_Guy I absolutely agree, an easy top 3 with me.
alex kanyima I wasn't sure who you meant but just looked him up. You're right. He's pretty damn good. His Joe Pesci is perfect!
Aries Spears should of been on the list or at least an Honorable Mention. Thankfully they had Frank Caliento (however you spell his name.
I agree and Jay pharaoh
Ross Marquand is really good with his impressions and the physicality as well
Wow, Rich Little?!?!
I grew up with him to!
I love it
Chad Michaels better be on this list or I'm leaving
True
+Anthony Martinez I mean she only does like two people but yknow😂😂😂
+larchaeo M I WAS GONNA COMMENT THAT !!! OR DERRICK BERRY !!
+Kyle Delano yass! I dunno about Derrick tho, shes not that funny (just my opinion tho)
larchaeo M i know she is not funny, didn't like her that much tbh
jay pharaoh should've been more than a honorable mention
He's better than anyone in that top 10 and has the most spot on impressions of celebrities.
jay pharoah should have been #1 imo his impersonations border on full out identity theft!!! just google his denzel vs will smith interview... even his physical likeness is uncanny
I had to scroll to let the page update five times before I saw anyone bring up Kevin Freakin' Pollak! Aside from his Walken, the man does one of the best Nicholsons I've ever seen. There's a clip of him doing Star Trek with Shatner, Jimmy from Taxi, Nicholson, Dudley Moore and Robin Williams all within five minutes. Who else trains themselves to move one eye like Peter Falk does?!
Awwww Robin Williams 💕💕💕💕WE MISS U
Robin Williams wasn't as much of an impressionist as most of the others.
Why wasn't Chad Michaels or Derrick berry included?
Well,Derrick only does Britney...but I agree with Chad.
+Anthony Martinez Does Derrick actually do a good Britney voice though? He just looks like her.
+Cheyenne McDonald ooh damn XD
OMG Chad Michael, seriously! I Know!!
i impersonate my family members to the spot. and i an not proud of it. but they are funny. thanks for bringing this up ,again. luv as always'
I totally agree on Robin Williams!!!!!!
How does Jamie foxx or Eddie Murphy not make the list at all not even a mention
wowwww no eddie murphy???
No
TheSmartSneakerhead you must be skipped that part when he impersonated Stevie wonder
🙏
TheSmartSneakerhead yes! James Brown Celebrity Hot Tub was the best.
Well that's Very light on minorities. I wonder why? . . . 🤔
We need a part 2 watch mojo
There was a pattern in this whole list, most of the celebrities are or were SNL regulars at one point in their careers which i think is really awesome
dammit Mojo... i was just getting over Williams' death Q_Q
Madtv had many good ones, but you only mention the ones from SNL
Yes! Thankfully they mention Frank but Aries Spears and Will Sasso should of been on the list. They could of taken Jimmy Fallon place because IMHO he's not funny!
Also Nicole Parker
Will Sasso should have been on the list. His impressions of Steven Seagal, Robert De Niro and James Gandolfini are on point and hilarious.
I absolutely love Robin Williams and Jim Carry.
What about Kevin Spacey?
Disagree. Jim Carrey is better than Robin Williams because of the visual factor he brings to his roles.
I love Robin Williams, I really do. But as far as impersonations go number one should have been Jim Carrey. But I loved the little flash of the movie The Birdcage lol. I think I'm going to watch that tonight...such a fun movie!.😁👌
Yes yes yes, Rich Little was an amazing impressionist. Glad to see some respect for the history.
Just because he's dead doesn't mean he has to be number one
+GOLDMedia Just because he's number one,doesn't mean that it's because he is dead.This is Robin Williams.Not any schmuck
+Myrsa no dave coulier ?????
It has nothing to do with him being fucking dead he was an awesome impressionist
+RckerMom87 so was Jim carrey
He is on number one because he was super talented.Shut your trap
Early Squad Where You At?
Here
Wadup homie?
sup fam
+BABY CARL yo
What up squad
Watch mojo fails to give credit where credit is due ONCE AGAIN!!!! Jay Pharoah is incredibly talented at impersonating and deserved more than an honorable mention! Kate McKinnon...ICONIC as well!
WatchMojo videos feel like top 10 lists made by people who were born yesterday.
