SNL skits: Fred Armisen, ‘Obama Plays It Cool’

by | Dec 7, 2008

Fred Armisen was jeered pretty roundly when he started playing Barack Obama on SNL, but I always thought he had keyed in on several quirky traits, and that the parody just keeps getting better and better. Last night’s “Obama Plays It Cool” piece was his best yet.

And, as Amy points out, who else anywhere is doing an Obama impression at all?

Well, there is Iman Crosson — better known on YouTube as Alphacat. He’s pretty funny as well.
