Agree about Serafinowicz's Wogan.
Dana Carvey does a good Jimmy Stewart especially when he's swearing.
No one has mentioned Rory Bremner for anything yet. Just saying...

The Lurker

Morgana's Fearne Cotton is pretty spot on.

No idea if Kristen Wiig's Kathy Lee Gifford is accurate or not but it makes me laugh

Eric Idle's David Frost/Timmy Williams "I think it shows I'm human... Byyyeeeee!"

Hancock breaking into Robert Newton at the Shakespeare audition has been seered into my brain as what "funny" means since I was ten.

Fuck me that's amazing. And he achieves the rare feat of being an excellent impressionist with actual funny material.

Jay Pharoah's already been mentioned - I love all the comics he does, but his hip-hop impressions are unreal as well. His 50 Cent in this is ridiculous:

I never saw the show but it's an amazing impression.

Here's a bit more of Simon Cartwright as Monkhouse and you get Rory Bremner chatting to him at the end. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02zzg1k
Bremner already knew Monkhouse hadn't liked his (Bremner's) impression ('Bob Says Sincerity Sucks'), but when Cartwright tells him Monkhouse was upset it's a bit awkward.

I like Spacey's (but I don't like Spacey).

John Rutledge is uncannily good as Christopher Walken, the Steptoes, Dad's Army and seemingly everyone from 1970s and 1980s tv. In one episode of The Demon Seed he improvises some mad mash up of Dad's Army and the A Team - 45 minutes in

Kevin Pollak (another Kevin from The Usual Suspects) also does a good Walken...

Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth

He's also doing a good visual impersonation of Burt Young.

There's a few pretty good Trump impressions around, but Jamie Foxx somehow has an absolutely impeccable one https://twitter.com/DailyLoud/status/1562811791838654464

Quote from: non capisco on June 26, 2022, 11:32:51 PMI ber-luddy love Serafinowicz's Ringo Starr as well.

"John was trying, George was trying but we were all too nervous. But Paul being Paul, showing off, well he just...pooed his brains out!"

I posted all his Beatles bits (that I know of) in a previous thread, but worth reposting here. Absolutely superb in every small detail:

His Michael Caine masterclass is also spectacularly good if you've seen the original. Not just the voice but the whole vibe is spot on.
