Goldblum was spot on
It’s amazing how he gets the pitch and timbre of the voices.
Matt Friend has already made his mark, at 24, as a brilliant impressionist and comedian. Looking forward to many years of his talent.
His Mitch McConnell and Howard Stern are spot-on!
It's such a spot on Howard Stern impression but his wig and glasses make him look more like Slash than Stern lol
🤣🤣 the open shirt for Newsom 🤣🤣
The Howard stern was STOP.ON.😂😂😂😂😂
With his Howard Stern, he could easily learn Alan Alda.
That guy is great, thanks for sending it along.
Great Howard Stern.

He looks a little bit like Slash here
I saw him do Trump on another video and he was spot on. His Howard Stern is unbelievable!!
He's doing impersonations moreso than impressions. He is embodying the person to a tee. Some of the voices are spot on like Stern and Reagan. Some of the voices are not pitched right, but the spirit of the person is there on all of them. Good stuff.

I totally agree because just like the guy who does the Robin Williams impression. He's doing more than just an impression he's doing a full mind, body, and spirit embodiment of the person.

It’s the mannerisms that tie everything together, but it’s sort of like caricature drawings- it’s not exactly right (the dude on SNL is a perfect impersonation of Trump) but it emphasizes the cartoonish characteristics of a person to great success His Obama was more of an impersonation, that was more subtle and spot on
Not just the voice but the mannerisms and the inflections. Great job!
Brilliant impressions - all of them.
Omg he is so good nailed Cancun Cruz it was hilarious. Thanks Elex one of my favorites ❤️❤️
Howard Stern voice spot on 👏
I love his Howard stern
As Howard Stern would say, Wow, this guy is great, I need to book him on my show. Wada ya think Robin?
I have seen a lot of impressionist over the years and this guy is one of the best that I have ever seen. I honestly don't know how he has the ability to manipulate his voice and tone to the degree that you practically cannot tell the difference between the original and the impressionist. Is he perfect? No. But he is damn close.
His Howard Stern and Goldblum are spot on.
Best Howard Stern I've ever seen! His Trump and McConnell are also spot on!

How does this guy do it?!?! Friggin' perfect!
Matthew Friend could do the Republican debate all by himself.
This young man, Mat Friend, is pure genius!!!
His Howard Stern is the top of the line.
The Howard Stern one was perfect.
He does President Bill Clinton! Can't wait until he hosts SNL!
Trump impression is NEXT LEVEL
When he was doing the Newsom impression his look reminded me of Shia LaBeouf 😊
He’s just fabulous!! I think he’s even better now!
Best impressionist of all time
Wow that's a great Howard Stern.
The McConnell is spit-out-your-tea funny.
Amazing Stern
Howard Stern is IDENTICAL!
Perfect Stern
😂😂😂😂that Mitch McConnell 😂
The Howard Stern is insanely good.
Stern is spot on. He could fill in, and nobody would even know
His trump has definitely gotten way more accurate over time

Ukraine relies to a large extent on nuclear power. The largest nuclear power plant in Europe, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, is located in Ukraine. In 2006, the government planned to build 11 new reactors by the year 2030, which would almost double the current amount of nuclear power capacity.[6] Ukraine's power sector is the twelfth-largest in the world in terms of installed capacity, with 54 gigawatts (GW).[7] Renewable energy still plays a very modest role in electrical output; in 2005 energy production was met by the following sources: nuclear (47%), thermal (45%), hydroelectric and other (8%).[6]
He nailed Howie!!!
Absolutely brilliant
I’m always amazed at how many American impressionists and comics generally seem to struggle with British accents. He’s undoubtedly a very gifted impressionist, but his John Oliver needs a lot if work.
He is so good at the hardest impressions (Goldblum, Howard Stern) that is surprising to see how weak his Schwarzenegger is which is known for being the most overdone impression ever, I think that is a testament to the why he stands out, he is clearly focusing on impressions most people can't emulate and damn is he brilliant at it.
The man of 1000 voices. 2 of them quite good.
How did Matt enlarge the Adam's Apple to do the Stern impression?
I've got one word to sum this up great! How about another word hilarious! 😂
At 1:35 he drifted into Stern again. Tee hee it happens. Incredible mimic
I cackled when he Gavin Newsom’ed. soooooo true. He had the Trump mannerisms down better than almost anyone and the Howard Stern is the best.

Matt Friend is one of those rare impressionists that unlocks impressions for anyone to do. You want to to do a Rami Malek impression, watch Matt Friend do him. You want to imitate Jeff Goldblum, watch Matt's. He identifies all the little speech quirks and movements. He's a genius for sure.

My god, is he attractive!
LOL trump impersonation was hilarious
I could not love this guy more if I was paid to.
This must be an older clip because his Donald Trump sounded more like Alan Alda and his Donald Trump is now polished in spot on.
His Howard spot on

With the right wig I would be half-way there to doing a pretty good Elex. I would ask to borrow his when I did it.
He's brilliant.
Amazing Howard Stern , Wow
Matt has better hair than Stern.
His best impression is Howard Stern.
When does he do the Howard Stern impression? Host said he was gonna do one. Didn’t see it
He should do a Paul Dano impression. You look like him, somewhat.
He's gotta get that Trump voice higher in pitch, it's too deep. The Stern is right on the money!
This guy is more Howard Stern than Howard Stern
Brilliant!
thanks, I almost forgot that they mixed up Matthews and then put it in a different "JS"
0:01 1:31 He needs a better Trump wig! Come on man 😂
Spot on Stern!!!! He doesn't do it here , but he does an amazing Bill Mahar
Yeah he needs to drop the trump impersonation. It's a lot like everyone's impression of trump. Amazing Howard Stern impression.
OMG he IS Howard Stern (and Trump and Obama and Chalomet).
timothy chalamet actually broke me lol idk if it was even close is the thing
Talented
His Trump had shades of Alan Alda
He needs to find a better Trump wig, lol.
Woooooow the stern is really good
He's got Howard
His Howard stern sounds like Al Michales.
so good!!!
great stuff
he sounds like swagger souls lol
He can ALMOST due slot of impressions
The Howard stern was eerie close
A friend to the end.
