Impossible to choose the best...they were all awesome

[MsMsBurning]

Hartman as Reagan in that skit was Phil and SNL at it's best!

[ProperGanda]

Not a president, but I loved when Dana Carvey played Tom Brokaw airing pre-taped breaking news of Gerald Fords upcoming death

WOW....you really know how to make a user experience suck.

Hate the commercials. HARDLY WORTH IT

Chevy Chase as Gerald Ford has always been my favorite. But, there are better videos of it then this one.

My other favorite is Darrell Hammond (I think) as Al Gore with his lock box. I pee a little every time.

[truesteam]

Whoops did it again. Than not then.

Where is Chevy Chase's Gerald Ford?!?!?!?! Will Ferrel's Bush is my favorite, but Chase's Ford has gots to be on that list.

[kingyagu]

Oops nevermind.

[Bighouselover]

one of the best skits was the Saddam George Bush and Monica three-way phone call. Hammond as Saddam Ferrell as George W. skit. so funny.

I loved Hartman as Clinton... I'm going from memory 'cuz I can't stand being subjected to the NBC prpaganda!

[CraigLove]

Will Ferrel is and always will be hysterical as Dubya.

But Hammond's Clinton is so accurate it's still not old after all these years.

if the real bill clinton were unable to fulfill his clinton-y duties, darrell hammond could probably step in.

will ferrell and phil hartman were hilarious.

fred armisen is just terrible...not just his impression but in general.

[NCarolinaObserver]

phil hartman was awesome...even better as lionel hutz atty at law on the simpsons....rip

Jane Curtain's Pat Nixon:
"Its short and sweet, but not everyone wants to see it"

White guy playing black president... bad idea...other than that, I love Hammond as Clinton.... "come hard, or don't come at all"

I absolutely loved Phil Hartman (who remembers Captain Carl from Pee Wee Herman's HBO special?), but I think Darrell Hammond's portrayal slightly edges Phil's out.

John Belushi also played a mean Henry Kissinger, and Amy Poehler as Hilary? Hil-arious!
