Flattered,
honored,
blown
away,
pleasantly
tickled,
a
little
annoyed,
mildly
disappointed,
decidedly
unamused:
Usually
one
of
those
is
to
some
degree
how
a
celebrity
feels
about
being
impersonated
on
Saturday
Night
Live.
Even
easily
irked
President
Donald
Trump
sang
the
praises
of
Darrell
Hammond,
calling
him “much
funnier
and
a
far
greater
talent”
than
Alec
Baldwin,
who
took
over
during
Trump’s
2016
presidential
run
and
stayed
on
as
a
guest
actor
for
several
years
(and
won
an
Emmy
for
his
efforts).
Baldwin
called
it “agony”
playing
the
commander-in-chief,
who
was
sworn
in
again
last
month,
while
Trump
countered
by
saying
it
was “agony
for
those
forced
to
watch.”
So,
win
some,
lose
some.
(And
Trump
surprisingly
hasn’t
shared
what
he
thinks
of
James
Austin
Johnson‘s
current
incarnation.)
But
impersonations,
some
more
uncanny
than
others,
have
been
part
of
the
lifeblood
of
the
iconic
NBC
sketch
series
since
its
inception
in
1975,
the
SNL
cast—and
assorted
guests—parodying
politicians,
actors,
singers,
talk
show
hosts,
reality
stars
and
all
manner
of
public
figures
for
the
last
50
years.
And
with
so
many
stars
of
the
show
past
and
present
lined
up
to
appear
on
SNL50:
The
Anniversary
Special,
airing
live
Feb.
16
on
NBC
and
Peacock,
who
isn’t
looking
forward
to
a
trip
down
classic-impressions
lane?
