SNL Presidents

My personal favorite was probably Will Ferrel's Bush II, but there's a lot of great ones. The debates (Bush/Gore and Bush/Clinton/Perot) are some of the best SNL moments of all time (though nothing competes with Celebrity Jeopardy).
I freely admit I don't find their versions of Obama or Trump all that funny. Politics aside, I honestly think they missed out on way more amusing ways of poking fun at the last two Presidents.

Honorable mention: Aykroyd and McDonald's Bob Dole.

I loved both of the Bush portrayals. 41 crying over losing to Clinton, "I'm a one termer. I'm a Jimmy Carter." 43 running off a list of African leaders to prove he knows the names of world leaders.
I think my favorite presidential skit was the post Desert Storm State of the Union. Bush gets multitudes of standing ovation, every time he says Operation Desert Storm. This leads to Dan Quayle (Michael J Fox) getting confused and not knowing when to stand or applaud.

Darrell Hammond outclasses all of those guys.

The constant repetition of referring to himself in the third person sold it on both :)

OMG yes! I had nearly forgotten that one... especially when the Speaker had to reach out and grab him to keep him from applauding. :)

Rip Phil Hartman - 4 term president of SNL (Reagan and Bush)

Yep.
and also,
the Trump impersonation is so bad because it's mean spirited and hateful. It isn't comedic at all.

Dana Carvey as Perot in all the debates is laugh out loud great SNL.

Is Alec Baldwin a cast member now? Seems like he is always on there. Or is it just for Trump?

They wore kid gloves when poking fun at Obama.

I thought the skit covering the first debate of 2016 was funny. After that, I began to feel like you in that they weren't being entirely two-sided with the jokes and were only going after Trump.

Glad Hilary Clinton didn’t win or we will see Kate McKinnon everywhere

Just because he's doing the Trump impressions and no active member of the cast is. He's not an official cast member.

1) Bush II
2) Bush I
3) Clinton (Both Hamond and Hartman)
4) Trump
5) Ford
6) Carter
7) Obama (I think this was deliberate)
Don’t know enough about the Reagan impersonator.
As for the ones who ran and didn’t become President.
1) Ross Perot
2) Bob Dole
3) Al Gore
4) Hillary Clinton (McKinnon’s version)
5) Michael Dukakis
6) Mitt Romney
The others are pretty forgettable.

Eh, she's okay, but her Clinton impression isn't all that great.
The best impression of anyone in that same vicinity in the past few elections was Tina Fey's Palin impressions. We just haven't had any great recurring ones since W was president.
