Darrell Hammond

Darrell Hammond is an actor, comedian, impressionist, and announcer. He served as a regular member of “The Not Ready For Prime Time Players Company” on "Saturday Night Live" from 1995 to 2009, the second-longest tenure of any cast member in the show's history. In September 2014, Hammond took over as the announcer for SNL, a role he continues to hold to this day.

Throughout his career, Hammond has showcased his talent as an impersonator, known for his impressions of over 107 different celebrities. His most frequent impersonation was of former President Bill Clinton. He has also reprised his Clinton and Donald Trump impersonations on SNL numerous times. Hammond's talent does not end at impressions; he is also a frequent guest on "The Howard Stern Show" and had his own stand-up comedy special on Comedy Central: "Comedy Central Presents Darrell Hammond."

Hammond's acting experience extends beyond SNL to film and television roles. He had guest roles in episodes of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," and he has starred in films such as Celtic Pride, Blues Brothers 2000, Agent Cody Banks, and Scary Movie 3. He made his Broadway theatre debut in "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," and he also played the role of fast-food mascot Colonel Sanders in an ad campaign for KFC.

In 2011, Hammond turned to writing and published his memoir, "God, If You're Not Up There, I'm F*cked," which became a New York Times bestseller. The book provided a candid account of his abusive childhood, psychiatric issues, struggles with substance abuse, and experiences on "Saturday Night Live." A few years later, in 2015, he revived his Trump impression for SNL, which was received with widespread acclaim.

Most recently, he has appeared in episodes of "Criminal Minds," "At Home with Amy Sedaris," and a "Friday Night Lights" spoof series on The Kicker. He has also been cast in the animated series "What If...?," lending his voice to the character of a Nazi General in the episode "What If... Captain Carter Were the First Avenger?"
