Very often when a performer IS more known for "good impressions", yes they're doing something recognizable enough so the typical outsider knows exactly who it is, but it's more that they're locking into one or two particular aspects of the target in a somewhat exaggerated way to make comedy out of it. Dana Carvey's George Bush Sr and Ross Perot are two of the most iconic impressions in SNL history, but both purposely over the top for the sake of the laugh. Also the fact that such impressions are often put into some kind of routine or sketch. Even if a person gets so good at mimicry of another figure as to blur the line between them and the target, sure it's interesting but not often very funny. Of course there's no absolutes, but it's generally a rule of thumb.

You know, I've been slowly going through all of the videos you've uploaded here and I just gotta say this is probably one of the best celebrity interview shows on the web right now. You're asking the right questions and you're getting the stories that most interview shows just kinda graze over for the sake of a quick laugh and a cheap movie advertisement. You're like James Lipton, man. Keep it up. It's hard to find good celebrity/actor interview shows these days. The other one I really like is Sean Evans Hot Ones interviews. Making people eat hot sauce is a fun vehicle, but the content is insanely compelling. He comes out of left field with some shit that often surprises his guests. But I like that this show you've got is a bit more low key while still getting to the meat on the bone.

They really hit the nail on the head for saying that SNL has a legacy of bringing in comedians that were experienced in stand-up, sketch or improv comedy. The flaw with RDJ's time there was SNL felt the need to cast established actors (not ones in those kinds of comedy) and it really just did not work well for their format. Not a knock against RDJ or anything just it wasn't a good fit for him or anyone else cast around this time.

Compare that to the following year when Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, and Kevin Nealon joined the show. The difference in quality is impossible to ignore.

Lorne was trying his hardest to copy Dick Ebersol's formula of the season before with Billy Crystal and the all star cast. It was all out of pettiness as they were feuding then. Dick's season was successful because everyone on that season knew comedy and at least had a background in it. Lorne's failed because he hired younger actor types trying to be young and hip as Lorne even said "I wanted to go young but I went too young." Getting Quaid and especially Hall was a smart business choice because both were popular and brought an audience in. However in Hall's detriment especially they knew nothing about sketch comedy and couldn't mesh with the writers who were very solid during, and after the show. Damon Wayans even told a story once that when they were rehearsing early in the season he improvised a line and one of the actors scream "Cut!" and had a fit over it. That was when he knew the year was in trouble.

Not once does he mention his uncle is Jim Downey, longtime writer on SNL. It's a well-known story that that is how he got on the show. Just admit you had an 'in.' And don't claim you got in on your 'audition.' Talented actor, yes. But he had connections too...

A lot of years ago, I got a seasonal job through a personal connection. I wasn't happy about that...I believed in getting such things on merit and this just felt wrong. So one day, I spelled that out to the owner and he told me that while my connect might have gotten me in, my hard work and showing up every day kept me there. Moral of the story: connections only go so far, something that was definitely true in RDJ's case on SNL.

Go watch Robert’s earlier interview on this very channel talking about auditioning for Chaplin and check out his Richard Attenborough impression. He says here that he’s not good at impressions. That’s a straight up lie
