Over the last couple of years, Eddie Murphy has publicly mulled over a return to stand-up, but would always add the caveat of not knowing exactly what he would do since comedy has changed so much since he last took the mic.
Yet, this dead-on impression of Tracy Morgan that he did during his recent appearance of Kimmel might be a good place to start.
The latest installment of Melissa Villasenor’s Daily Itineraries has, for our money, one of the best impressions, in every aspect, of Sarah Silverman.
Just watch how spot on Melissa is, but how she nails Silverman’s entire comedic persona.
The latest episode of Melissa Villasenor’s Daily Itineraries web series on Above Average’s Mas Mejor channel has Melissa take on the daily routine of comedy darling, Kristen Wiig.
Of course, Wiig’s notorious for doing impressions that are, well… more inspired than accurate (just look up most of her late night appearances).
Melissa nails her voice, mannerisms, and her faux-impressions in her impression. Watch it here.

Every time Charlyne Yi goes on Conan, it’s a kind of special collection of moments reminiscent of how fun late night interviews can be with the right guest and host clicking on all cylinders.
Charlyne talking about her covert wedding plans and various impressions, both good and bad, make for yet another such appearance.
Many times on late night shows, guests will have a pre-interview to determine what they will talk about on that night’s episode and roughly estimate how the interview will go. Often, that results in guests being weird facsimiles of themselves.
However, Tig Notaro did no such thing on The Pete Holmes Show last night and she was her wonderfully, unflinchingly honest self in doing an impression that only her girlfriend is impressed by and being the world’s first “cool down” comedian.
Nick Turner, Pete Holmes and James Adomian Do a Reggie Watts Impression in Front of Him
Musical comedian Reggie Watts has been described as inimitable before, but leaves it to the likes of a hysterical trio composed of Nick Turner, Pete Holmes, and James Adomian to show Reggie how to do an impression of himself (not that Watts doesn’t already know how to do that).
Watch at the link.
