In his sixth season on 'Saturday Night Live,' Darrell Hammond is best known for the many impressions he has brought to the show. His impressions have been applauded by television critics and viewers alike, for their uncanny accuracy and range. Hammond has performed as everyone from politicians (Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson, New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Vice President Al Gore), media figures (Ted Koppel, Sam Donaldson, Bob Costas, Phil Donahue) to celebrities (Sean Connery, Jay Leno, and Regis Philbin). In April 1997, Hammond was applauded in the media for his dead-on impression of President Clinton during a surprise appearance with the President himself at an event before thousands of government officials and members of the Washington Press Corps. For the last several years, Hammond has been performing stand-up comedy and impressions in New York and throughout the country. On film, he has lent his vocal talents to the recent animated version of "The King And I." On television, Hammond has appeared on NBC’s 'Late Night with Conan O’Brien,' 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,' 'Late Show with David Letterman,' 'The Hollywood Squares,' MTV, Showtime, Comedy Central, VH-1 and A&E’s 'Comedy on the Road.'
