SNL Dolly Parton Impression Is Spot On
Written by Tony Schultz on December 16, 2020
Over the years Saturday Night Live has had a slew of great impressionists. From Dan Ackroyd’s wacky Julia Childs to Dana Carvey’s loved impressions of President George Bush Sr. and Ross Perot to Darrell Hammond’s spot on portrayal of President Bill Clinton and hilarious take on Sean Connery. One of the underrated cast member s on SNL right now is Melissa Villasenor. Not only are her impressions funny and near perfect, but she does most them while singing. She tends to join Colin Jost on Weekend Update with the guise of talking about something only to surprise him with her impressions. Her performance last Saturday night as Dolly Parton has gotten a lot of people talking as she absolutely nailed it. I would say if they were casting a movie about Dolly today her impression might put her at the front of the line.
