Actor / Director Profile

A Saturday Night Live cast member since 1995 - and still going on - comedian Darrell Hammond remains the sketch TV show's strongest and funniest performer. As well as being part of skits where he had chemistry with other cast members, Hammond won audiences over with dead-on impersonations of various celebrities and Hollywood figures, such as vice presidents Dick Cheney and Al Gore, president Bill Clinton, "Hardball" host Chris Matthews, Sean Connery (who constantly bothered Alex Trebek, played by fellow cast alumni Will Ferrell, during "Celebrity Jeopardy" skits), Regis Philbin, Donald Trump, and many more. Despite his shaky movie resume ("The King & I" and "New York Minute"), Hammond is still a revelation whenever it comes to SNL.
