Dana Carvey Kills With Impression of Obama Giving Advice to Trick or Treaters
Wheel of Impressions is one of the Tonight Show’s recurring bits and it’s a fan favorite because everyone loves impressions. It doesn’t always bring the house down, but Friday Night Jimmy played WoI with Dana Carvey and it doesn’t get better than that. Halloween was the theme, so all the impressions involved candy, monsters, and other Halloweeny things.
Fallon did a pretty good job with Mick Jagger in a corn maze, and Carvey one-upped him as Keith Richards giving out candy. There was also Lorne Michaels telling a monster story, Bernie Sanders discussing king sized candy bars, some Regis thrown in for fun, and Paul McCartney talking about horror movies.
But the show stopper was actually the first stop on the Wheel, with Carvey impersonating Barack Obama. Carvey might be best known for his impression of George Bush Sr. that became the basis for every Bush impression since, but his impression of Barak Obama giving advice to trick or treaters might be our new favorite.
