My late wife one time walked past the TV and saw Tiny Fey imitating Sarah Palin and said, "I hate that woman" I busted up laughing and told her "That's not Sarah Palin that's Tina Fey a comedian doing an impression of her."
It would be nice to hear more of the impressions rather than your non-stop commentary.

For political impressions, it's Dana Carvey all day. And I say this knowing Phil Hartman is the G.O.A.T.
Phil Hartman and Darrel Hammond always excelled in what they did. Kate McKinnon was suburb as Jeff sessions, Rudy Giuliani, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren and others. Melissa McCarthy as unhinged Sean Spicer was hilarious. Tiny Fey as Sarah Palin was a shining star every time she showed up. Alec Baldwin was my favorite Trump. Loved this list.
Kate McKinnon as Elizabeth Warren
Ben Stiller as Michael Cohen was on point!!

Kate McKinnon's best impression is BY FAR AND AWAY Lindsey Graham. And even then, it's so good it's top 5 on this list. And where the hell is Robin Williams playing Reagan???? He only did it once, but he absolutely nailed it. Beyond that, Dana Carvey gets the top 4 spots with Ross Periot, George W, Joe Biden, and George H.W. in that order.
It would be better to see more of the impressions if the narrator didn't use most of the time blabbing.

I ask myself that every day.
Thing I find fascinating is too see 2 SNL players like Phil Hartman and Darryl Hammond, or Will Ferrell and Dana Carvey play the same president: physically different obviously; but with the wigs, the makeup and specially their performances we can see Clinton & Bush.
I love how balanced these impersonations are when it comes to both sides of the aisle. SNL leaves no one unroasted.
I love the Jeff Sessions imitation! Such a cutie! lol
Someone must have done John McCain. And I know Cecily Strong did other noteworthy impressions, like Jeanine Pirro. McKinnon as Laura Ingraham.
Hammond also did a great Jesse Jackson.
I hope they show john Goodman as linda tripp
The deaf translator for Barack Obama. I think that was Cecily Strong.
Darrell Hammond at 23 is an insult. He played that role for 12 years.

No one did a better Bill Clinton then the late absolutely great Phil Hartman (May he rest in peace). Both Baldwin and James Austin Johnson nailed Trump (Baldwin for appearance, but Austin Johnson for vocal impression). I think if I weren't watching James Austin Johnson do the impression and only heard it, I might even think it was actually Trump. I don't even know who the Hell Sean Spicer is, but I do love Mellissa's impression as it's just insanely hilarious. For what it's worth, those were Paul's picks

Cereal’s George bush might be his best work. Amy Poheler is my favorite as Jeff Sessions.
I'm sorry, but so much is wrong with this list. Johnson's Trump should be MUCH higher! It is spot on in many ways that no one else has come close. And Hannah's Clinton is CLASSIC! Its all of out sorts. IMO, anyway.
Kate McKinnon could easily snag 5 of the top 15. RBG. Clinton. Warren. Sessions. Conway. Maybe even Merkel.
As much as I love this compilation, the clips speak for themselfs and there was too much comments. Didin't make it to the end.
You mentioned Dan Aykroyd doing Carter snd Nixon. He was at his funniest thou doing Senator Bob Dole,. Especially interacting with the actress playing Hillary Clinton. Much Success.
We really needed Tina's Palin. Palin scared the hell out of us. To think of her as presidential understudy, a mediocre journalism major who fell into politics and ended up governor.
Darrell Hammond’s Arnold Schwarzenegger was one of the best impressions. Including governor Schwarzenegger.
Larry David as Bernie. Perfect!

Will Ferrell as George. W. Bush is spot-on and hilarious. 😂🎉
Definitely agree with number one.
They totally forgot about Robin Williams take on Ronald Reagan
They didn’t mention Beck Bennett as pence
Norm’s Bob Dole was good, but his Tarantino and Burt Reynolds were classics partly because no one else did them. His Dole is like his Letterman and Larry King. All awesome
