31 Day SNL Challenge: Favorite Presidential Character



"So it's official? I'm the President now? This is gonna be fun..." From that moment, you just knew Will Ferrell's take on George W. Bush was the best Presidential impression ever done on the show. It's not based on vocal accuracy (that would go to Jay Pharoah's Barack Obama) or legacy implications (Dana Carvey's George H.W. Bush) or precedent groundwork (Chevy Chase's Gerald Ford). This is totally based on the perfect caricature created by Ferrell. He has a solid impression down and then he spins it into something greater. The word, "strategery," is what made me choose Bush over Darrell Hammond's Bill Clinton. Chimichangas.
