there now and jimmy fallon whose absolutely amazing impression caused sandler to break character fallon actually originally auditioned for snl by doing an impression of sandler for lauren michaels the notoriously stoic michaels broke down and laughed and we can see why one two three [Music] number nine jimmy fallon as jerry seinfeld fallon is indeed an incredible impressionist complete with a surprisingly huge arsenal of celebrities and taking the counterpoint is former television star jerry seinfeld okay thanks colin thanks a lot buddy after impressing lauren michaels with his aforementioned audition fallon debuted on snl in september of 1998. one year later he was doing an impression of jerry seinfeld in front of jerry seinfeld jerry what are you talking about i love the gap the two start together in a weekend update segment with fallon dressed like seinfeld fallon could barely get through his opening lines without laughing but he did manage to compose himself and perform one of the all-time great jerry seinfeld impressions we're gonna dress you up in a vest we're gonna dress you up in a vest close your eyes and listen it's hard to tell who's who i know you're kidding me i know you're kidding about me kidding i'm kidding wanna go see a movie number eight will ferrell as janet reno snl loves to poke fun at politicians and janet reno was no different reno was the first female attorney general of the united states serving from 1993 to 2001. now it's time for a segment of the show that i like to call teen talk where i roll up my sleeves and shoot straight with the kids of today reno was far more high profile than her predecessors and will ferrell became known for his hilarious reno impression on saturday night live [Music] he continuously starred as the attorney general in a segment called janet reno's dance party which saw reno dancing with a group of teenagers in a basement it's time to say goodbye i guess the dance party is finally over for once and all however farrell was going more for parody than outright impression telling the washington post quote i just sound the way she looks i like your dress janet thanks janet i like yours too reno appeared on snl on her last day as attorney general appearing for a dance party alongside farrell to wild applause from the audience what do you do when you get sad i just dance now hit it number seven sherry o'terry as judge judy after finding success with the comedy troupe the groundlings alongside chris katan and will ferrell cheri o'terry was hired as a repertory performer on snl for the 1995-96 season she remained on the show for five years in that time oh terry became quite famous for her celebrity impressions one of which was television legend judge judy look at me look at me okay i'll take a pic to the butcher when i want to eat bologna judy scheindlin cameoed on snl on october 17th 1998 appearing in a sketch that saw o'terry impersonating the famous tv judge i've seen enough sherry get up [Applause] listen get your bony ass out of my chair get up midway through the skit judge judy appeared to rapturous applause and tacto terry on the shoulder telling her to get her phony ass out of the chair so the real judge can take over you keep your trap shut and get a life and take over she did proving a great sport in the process court rules in favor of the plaintiff now sherry let's go talk about those eyebrows it wasn't my idea number six amy poehler as hillary clinton this politician has long been a subject of snl impressions with kate mckinnon of course doing an admirable job hey bartender keep him coming but amy poehler will forever remain the queen of the hillary clinton impression thanks for having me thank you for coming i love your outfit polar had been doing a clinton impression for years and she performed it face-to-face with clinton herself on the march 1 2008 episode of saturday night live do you want the earrings back oh okay clinton appeared during the episode's cold open when she was a candidate in the 2008 democratic presidential primary do i really laugh like that after clinton referenced polar's famous impression polar came on stage and proved that she is one of the best in the biz number five will ferrell as alex trebek this late great host of jeopardy always had a good sense of humor even when the subject was himself trebek appeared in two episodes of saturday night live including the may 18 2002 episode in which he appeared opposite will ferrell impersonating him and so this was the final jeopardy farrell had become famous for his impression of trebek in a recurring skit called celebrity jeopardy like his impression of janet reno farrell is going more for parody than outright impression remaining in his own voice but dressing as the famous jeopardy host complete with his iconic mustache those celebrities did not know the right answer to any of your questions no they did not they were very stupid well you got that right unfortunately trebek had shaved his mustache by this point as he proved when he walked out to escort feral from the podium two trebeks i feel like i'm in a raisin bran commercial two scoops of fruit back off connery i don't have to take that from you number four jim brewer as joe pesci this iconic american actor may be the nicest guy on the planet but he will forever be linked to his intense gangster characters like tommy devito and nicki santoro i'm gonna take this it's okay okay yeah we just need to bring it back so you know case in point the recurring snl segment the joe pesci show hey everyone [Applause] in which jim brewer played a violent and easily offended pesci who often loses his temper and assaults his talk show guests i know you do more than beat up people oh no i don't during the april 12 1997 episode pesci and robert de niro made surprise cameo appearances in the sketch telling brewer that his impression is both offensive and misleading pesci informed brewer i'm actually a very calm laid-back person before viciously beating him with the prop weapon first thing you have to do is you take the bat you hit him in the knees number three andy samberg as nicholas cage on the february 11 2012 episode of saturday night live andy sandberg starred opposite nicolas cage in a weekend update segment subtitled get in the cage with nicholas cage and nicholas cage so please join me in welcoming nicholas cage and nicholas cage like the seinfeld fallon segment samberg appeared dressed the same as cage complete with a hilarious receding hairline good evening nick you're looking very well tonight well it's very kind [Music] you look great too the skit had nicholas cage playing a clone of nicolas cage so that he can appear in every movie ever made as everyone knows my dream as an actor is to appear in every film ever released however until now i've only been able to muster a measly ninety percent yes andy sandberg was playing the real nicholas cage confused it doesn't really matter cloning experiment well that's exactly right seth i am all that mattered was sandberg's hilarious impression this nick is calm and stealthy like a ninja warrior whereas this nick is an exaggerated screaming psychopath and cage's expressionless face as he absolutely refused to break character that's high praise number two tina fey as sarah palin tina fey will forever be admired for her eerily spot-on impression of sarah palin good evening my fellow americans faye starred as palin throughout the 2008 presidential election campaign with a sketch of her and amy poehler as hillary clinton becoming a massive internet sensation she would return to that well again and again on snl and now i'd like to entertain everybody with some fancy pageant walking palin actually appeared in the cold open of the october 18 2008 episode alongside lauren michaels watching faze impression on tv it's obviously a heightened reality why couldn't we have done the 30 rock sketch that i wrote honestly not enough people know that show she told michaels that the impression was not realistic before being approached by alec baldwin who jokingly mistook her for tina fey what's that mean they call her cara cara what do they call their cantina yeah that'd be caribou barbie caribou barbie thank you tina we can see how the mistake was made the resemblance really is uncanny and i must say your brother stephen is my favorite baldwin brother before we unveil our top pick here are some honorable mentions justin timberlake and jimmy fallon as the bee gees the dynamic duo sang alongside barry gibb [Applause] vanessa bear as jennifer aniston a superb rachel green impression with jennifer what oh what dana carvey as george h.w bush an uncanny representation of bush the elder i'm sorry mr president i think it's a fair impression don't see it you know it's totally exaggerated not me those those crazy hand gestures the pointing thing i don't do them alec baldwin as tony bennett the cooner loved this take you know you're a real prince let me on this show this guy could wear the heck out of a suit don't you know you're no slouch either john belushi as joe cocker

reunion skit in which multiple cast members showed off their impressions i recall we stole the ice sculpture i wonder what happened to it i don't know it probably melted the skit got off to a great start with the fantastic bill hater and remained consistently entertaining throughout john is that you or do my eyes deceive me it's really me you remember my kids maxine and scott some of the impressions were genuinely great like the one from jason sedakis and others were hilariously sincere and also surprisingly spot on like amy poehler's impersonation because i hate ghosts they're spooky

Back in first year law school they mentioned that nobody uses a gavel in court, and its a common misconception. Ok, fair enough.. oh, whats on the cover image of Sydney Criminal Lawyers?, yep a gavel.

This is one of those ME's that you can really annoy lawyers with--since they really hate to be wrong.

[u/WraithOfEvaBraun]

Nice! Is it ever good to see that again!

I have other MEs about her. About her relationship with her husband ( divorcing him after too much cheating ) and living happily on her own. About her show getting canceled due to falling ratings. About her retiring in an alternate timeline. I remember the big media uproar when she got her cheek implants, facelift, nose job and eyes done the first time. They said it was to look younger because of her cheating husband. She looked old for her age.. droopy lids, wrinkled vertical lines on her face and skinny sunk in in face like a lot of old people get, especially smokers. And her nose was bigger, wider. The after was a big difference. But now when I look at old pics her face doesn't look dramatically different pre and post cosmetic surgery.

Excellent find

Good find. Fascinating how natural the gravel looks in the skit. Keep in mind they went out of their way to make her look like Judge Judy. It would have been ridiculous for them to get the gravel thing wrong.

The real mystery here is in the thumbnail. Why does it look like they are wearing other people’s faces?
