Kate carries SNL, but of those options I gotta give it to Melissa with the driveable podium.

Baldwin as Trump started off fine but just got incredibly lazy through the years. Sean Spicer / McCarthy still makes me laugh, so that got my vote.

Mccarthy as Spicer is amazing. Also there's just the bonus of it being an impression of someone other than Trump that still somehow infuriated Trump.

McCarthy was phenomenal as Spicer. Spicer's specific brand also really lead well to parody though.

Not SNL, but I thought this guy's Trump impression was spot-on



His recent pokemon one was hilarious too

Melissa McCarthy driving down that street in that podium is something unforgettable. Just magic.

Melissa McCarthy was so good that on the first appearance it took the audience a few moments to realize who it was. Melissa Mcarthy was so good that Sean Spicer impersonated her impersonation of him on that awards show.

I don't know if it's the best, but I'll still occasionally pull up that Matt Damon/Brett Kavanaugh opening monologue from time to time. It's so good.

I think we can all agree that Baldwin's is definitely among the weaker impersonations, at least.

edit: or maybe not, haha

Melissa McCarthy as Spicer was some inspired casting

I dunno if he can do Trump, but given Jay Pharoah's amazing impressions of *everybody*, back in 2015-2016 I'd like to have seen a) his impression of Trump, and b) Trump's meltdowns at being portrayed by a black man

Not quite the administration, but the Eric and Don Jr. impressions are great and I think have a good chance of being iconic.

The Grim Reaper as Bannon.

All the celebs humanized these monsters too much. SNL needed to go more surreal to capture the horror of this admin and they dropped the ball all 4 years.

Stiller's Cohen was masterful. The Spicer impression is overrated.

Baldwin, Mckinnon and Mccarthy for sure, although Cecily Strong's "Melania" accent and camp Pence are well played too
