Comedian Dana Carvey does astring of spot-on impressions of Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, Charlie Sheen, Sean Connery and more in a new video for Vanity Fair.
The conceit of the clipfinds Carveyplaying a celebrity caught ina generic, split-second scenario.For example, Bernie Sanders helps kids cross the road, Charlie Sheen tries to hail a cab with someone in it or Bill Clinton retrieves his wedding ring from the garbage disposal.
Even though the bits are brief, Carveys ability to capture a persons essence in the moment is remarkable. Among the highlights are Jimmy Stewart wondering if someones added him on LinkedIn, Johnny Carsons hot-under-the-collar reaction to Kanye Wests Famous videoand Cary Grant swiping on Tinder: Well I cant believe it, everybodys hideous, Carvey grumbles in a perfect transatlantic lilt.
Carvey recently wrapped up the first season of his new USA game show, First Impressions, which found the comedian overseeing weekly competitions amongst Americas best up-and-coming impressionists.
