Comics with a Cause: Ex-SNL Presidents Unite
Posted by David Paul Kuhn | Email This | Permalink | Email Author
It's an SNL POTUS reunion! The Saturday Night Live actors who played every American president since SNL's start, sans Ronald Reagan, have teamed up for a little satire and a little advocacy. They offer a soft push for Congress to pass the Consumer Financial Protection Agency.
In the video are: Fred Armisen, Will Ferrell, Darrell Hammond, Dana Carvey, Dan Aykroyd and even Chevy Chase (who decimated Gerald Ford in SNL's heyday and set a very high bar). Jim Carrey joined the crew to play Reagan, and he's good.
It's now the comics versus the banks. Maybe those fake presidents can do what the real president thus far has not. That's a joke (or perhaps not). Whatever your view, the video itself is funny. Bravo to Funny or Die, a great website, for putting this Laugh Pack together. Watch it below:
