Darrell Hammond was a "Saturday Night Live" cast member for 14 years, and during that time there was nary a politician, media figure or aging white man he didn't impersonate.
To mark Hammond's return to "SNL" as announcer (and his 58th birthday), we've taken a look back at 35 of the most memorable impressions from his record-breaking tenure on the show. It's amazing how many roles he filled over the years, from Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush (before Will Ferrell made it his own) to Donald Trump, Geraldo Rivera, "Oprah"-couch-jumping John Travolta and more.
