And with <em>SNL\u2019<\/em>s status as a sketch comedy institution, we\u2019ve seen a staggering number of celebrities come through Studio 8H as well, either as hosts or via a surprise cameo. That\u2019s led to more than a few instances where the <em>Saturday Night Live<\/em> impressionist is confronted by their real-life counterpart \u2014\u00a0and they\u2019re not always happy with what they see, either. (It\u2019s all in good fun, of course. Although who knows what George H.W. Bush really thought about Dana Carvey\u2019s version of him?)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As <em>SNL<\/em> celebrates its 50th birthday with a star-studded anniversary special this Sunday on NBC (8\/7c), we thought we\u2019d look back on all the times a celebrity crossed paths with their <em>SNL<\/em> impersonation on the show. We dug deep into the archives for this one, with big names from movies (Nicolas Cage, Jim Carrey), TV (Jennifer Aniston, Jerry Seinfeld) and politics (Sarah Palin, Bob Dole) all showing up to stand face-to-face with their <em>SNL<\/em> parody.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read on to see more than two dozen celebrities who stopped by to confront their <em>SNL<\/em> impression \u2014\u00a0we\u2019ve added video, too, so you can watch \u2014\u00a0and hit the comments to tell us your favorites.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Jennifer Aniston<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Oh, hi! Vanessa Bayer took us right back to Central Perk with her spot-on impression of Aniston\u2019s character Rachel from the NBC hit <em>Friends<\/em>. But Aniston didn\u2019t seem to be a fan when she dropped by Weekend Update in 2016, playfully asking Bayer to stop doing the bit: \u201cI do not sound like that!\u201d It led to the two dueling Anistons bickering in matching voices until they both harmonized with a final \u201cOh, Ross!\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Tony Bennett<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>SNL<\/em> staple Alec Baldwin showed off his pipes with his impression of the velvet-voiced crooner, seen in the recurring talk show parody \u201cThe Tony Bennett Show\u201d that debuted in 2002. He came face-to-face with the real thing in 2006 when Bennett himself joined the show, playing an entertainer named Anthony Benedetto. (That\u2019s Bennett\u2019s real name, by the way.) It\u2019s a delight just seeing those two share the screen, exchanging polite compliments and teaming up for an ad for\u2026 well, nail fungus medication.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">George H.W.

Bush. (\u201cNot gonna do it!\u201d) When Carvey returned to host <em>SNL<\/em> in 1994, he came out for his monologue dressed as Bush \u2014\u00a0and was interrupted by the real Bush, who voiced his displeasure with Carvey\u2019s version of him. He didn\u2019t much care for the Church Lady, either.

In 2013, that fellow actor turned out to be\u2026 Cage himself! (Their hairlines certainly matched.) The real Cage was introduced as a clone of Samberg\u2019s Cage, but he managed to get in a shot at Samberg\u2019s impression, calling him \u201can exaggerated, screaming psychopath who really just doesn\u2019t exist.\u201d Don\u2019t make him angry, Andy!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Jim Carrey<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The jokester had to endure not just one but a half-dozen impressions of himself in a 2014 family reunion sketch, which saw Carrey catch up with his relatives, all of whom mimicked one of Carrey\u2019s signature roles. (Cecily Strong\u2019s Fire Marshal Bill impression was priceless.) The highlight, though, was Carrey\u2019s <em>Dumb and Dumber<\/em> co-star Jeff Daniels popping in to prove he could even out-Carrey the man himself. Alrighty, then!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Hillary Clinton<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The former First Lady and presidential candidate has been in the public eye so long, she\u2019s actually confronted two different <em>SNL<\/em> cast members who did an impression of her. First in 2008, Hillary dropped by to share the screen with Amy Poehler, dressed in matching pantsuits to boot. And then in 2015, Hillary returned to play a bartender named Val, slinging drinks to Kate McKinnon\u2019s version of her \u2014\u00a0and joining her for a rousing rendition of \u201cLean on Me.\u201d (<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nxrYrWV7OvU\" data-ylk=\"slk:Watch a clip from that sketch here;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Watch a clip from that sketch here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Joe Cocker<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Joe Cocker\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"650\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/rNoLjcYtwddwRSeqYFnxPw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY1MA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/tvline.com\/90c3991f3de902199c397a1ce9ed778b\" \/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Joe Cocker<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Early on in <em>SNL\u2019<\/em>s run, the raspy-voiced rocker served as musical guest for a 1976 episode, singing his classic \u201cFeelin\u2019 Alright\u201d \u2014\u00a0and getting upstaged by cast member John Belushi, who took the mic as Cocker, singing a verse and chugging a beer during the guitar solo.

Vanessa Bayer\u2019s impression of the former Hannah Montana was \u201cpretty cool,\u201d but you know what was even cooler? When Cyrus herself showed up in 2013 to send up her controversial VMA performance \u2014\u00a0which may have ended humanity as we know it \u2014\u00a0with Bayer\u2019s squeaky-clean Miley trying to warn her to clean up her act. (Good luck with that.)<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Zooey Deschanel<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The adorkable <em>New Girl<\/em> star got lampooned on <em>SNL<\/em> by cast member Abby Elliott with her recurring talk show sketch, \u201cBein\u2019 Quirky With Zooey Deschanel.\u201d In 2012, Deschanel herself joined the talk show, playing the terminally trendy Mary-Kate Olsen.

The two laughed it up together and promised to \u201cend the drama-la\u201d on election night \u2014\u00a0but after Harris fell short like Dole and Hillary Clinton did, maybe candidates should just steer clear of their <em>SNL<\/em> impressions from now on?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Kevin Hart<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The pint-size comedian got an extra-large surprise in a 2015 <em>SNL<\/em> sketch, finding out that he had a son he didn\u2019t know about from a one-night stand. And judging by cast member Jay Pharaoh\u2019s motor-mouthed delivery and hyperactive hand gestures as Hart\u2019s son Marcus, we definitely saw the resemblance.

There were some deep cuts in there (<em>Little Nicky<\/em>?), and even musical guest Shawn Mendes got in on the act. Jimmy Fallon topped them all, though, with a Sandler impression that even had the man himself cracking up.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Jerry Seinfeld<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">We really do have to tip our hat to Fallon: When he wasn\u2019t giggling his way through sketches, he had some killer impressions on <em>SNL<\/em>, including this pitch-perfect take on Seinfeld in 1999 as he and the real thing tackled campaign finance reform on Weekend Update. They were supposed to debate \u2014 but they ended up agreeing on everything!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Alex Trebek<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you\u2019re questioning what the best <em>SNL<\/em> game show parody of all time is, the answer has to be \u201cCelebrity Jeopardy.\u201d Will Ferrell played exasperated host Alex Trebek as he dealt with idiotic celebrities (especially Darrell Hammond\u2019s Sean Connery), and for Ferrell\u2019s final <em>SNL<\/em> episode in 2002, Trebek himself stopped by to say farewell \u2014\u00a0and to fire back at Connery after one of his crude insults.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Christopher Walken<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The famously eccentric Walken might be one of the most imitated celebs out there, and <em>SNL<\/em> took full advantage with a 2008 family reunion sketch that saw Walken catch up with his equally weird relatives. Bill Hader\u2019s Walken was peerless, of course, but we also loved Amy Poehler\u2019s baby doll-clutching Maxine, who blessed us with this classic line: \u201cI hate ghosts. They\u2019re spooky, and I don\u2019t respond well to spooky behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Robin Williams<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Robin Williams\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"651\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/wgbSnC8bwOMPUj_i69KXXg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY1MQ--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/tvline.com\/423bbd974fe37a8cf00e27b9a3701507\" \/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Robin Williams<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It wasn\u2019t easy to match the manic energy of Robin Williams in his prime, but <em>SNL<\/em> cast member Dana Carvey went full Mork in this 1988 sketch, playing a son visiting an aging Williams on his birthday. Carvey bounced off the walls in rainbow suspenders, rattling off so many comedy bits at lightning speed that the elder Williams sighed: \u201cI should\u2019ve worn a prophylactic.\u201d (<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@huggyattack\/video\/7354974632757234975\" data-ylk=\"slk:Watch the sketch here;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Watch the sketch here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Stevie Wonder<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Stevie Wonder\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"650\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/lj9aHOInUC9VzyNwCUsPFw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY1MA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/tvline.com\/abc260520c8ca41388091f17b0bc64b4\" \/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Stevie Wonder<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Eddie Murphy carried <em>SNL<\/em> on his back in the early \u201880s, and in this 1983 sketch, he showed off impressive pipes, too, as he played a Stevie Wonder impersonator right next to the man himself, firing off a beautiful rendition of Wonder\u2019s hit \u201cMy Cherie Amour.\u201d After some early stumbles, Wonder sang it back to him perfectly, but Murphy wasn\u2019t a fan: \u201cThat sucked, man.\u201d (<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SoloFlow786\/status\/1583266650245435392\" data-ylk=\"slk:Watch a clip from the sketch here;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Watch a clip from the sketch here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Best of TVLine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sign up for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cloud.email.tvline.com\/signup\/\" data-ylk=\"slk:TVLine's Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TVLine&#8217;s Newsletter<\/a>.
