Every president since Ford has been impersonated on Saturday Night Live

[KingOrfeo]

What ever made Trump think he wouldn't be?

 

[Ramone45]

I'm sure he thought it would be off the air by now. It's been un-funny for thirty years.

What ever made Trump think he wouldn't be?

Extreme form of narcissism.

 

[phrodeau]

Dan Aykroyd did Nixon. They've probably done all the Presidents before Ford by now.

I wanna see Trump and Baldwin meet in the back hallway. Like Palin and Fey did.

If you can't laugh at yourself, everyone else will.

No shit!

It will be on for another thirty, it's a cultural institution.

Making Millard Fillmore funny would be quite a challenge.

If it were Buchanan, at least you could make gay jokes.

 

[LadyFunkenstein]

Darrell Hammond was MUCH funnier as Trump. Alec Baldwin is terrible.

Darrell Hammond was MUCH funnier as Trump. Alec Baldwin is terrible.

Alec Bladwin is trying desperately to revive his career. From movie star to game show host is not an upward trend.

GW Bush seemed to work with it.

The next White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, which has been held since 1920 and is traditionally attended by the President and Vice President, should be a real hoot. I believe it's in April.

I was thinking of that as I looked at some videos one of which I posted above. Will Trump go? Will he even be invited?

 

[PG13]

Trump's inability to laugh at himself will be his downfall.

Even Nixon appeared on Laugh-In during the 1968 campaign. His opponent, Hubert Humphrey, declined the invitation to appear on the same show. This dialog was supposed to go something like this:

Nixon: "Sock it to me?"

Cut to

Humphrey: "Sock it to him, not to me."

Nixon often credited that one-liner for his election victory.

That video is frickin' hilarious

Alec Baldwin is worth $65 million, so he probably gives no shits anymore.

 

[zipman]

Only President Snowflake Trumplethinskin couldn't handle it.

He needs a "safe space"

Extreme form of narcissism.

DING DING DING We have a winner.

I think he is another guy that just likes attention. Never have really cared for him. If I had 65 million I would be on a beach somewhere.
