There is nothing more than a hyena for this list.

We're looking at the most well rounded and memorable impersonations of United States presidents to be featured on Saturday Night Live, which POTUS imitation gets your vote.

While Ronald Reagan has been portrayed by upwards of six cast members and celebrity hosts over the years, it's without question Phil Hartman's take on the actor turned politician that's remembered most fondly.

00 there's the Washington Monument Now here on this very field is where the saucer from the day the Earth stood still landed.

For one, Hartman was a master impressionist, effortlessly able to tap into Reagan's unique mannerisms.

What may be most notable about his time in the role, however, was his duplicitous portrayal of the president.

Well, I hope I have answered your questions as best I could, given the very little that I know good bye And God bless you.

In one instance, he was charmingly cordial.

Onley does suddenly switched to cunningly domineering red countries of the countries.

But no matter which temperament he was exhibiting, the results were always hilarious.

Well dosed, musky with mood altering drugs.

By the time musky knows what day it is, the 88 elections will be over Number nine Dan Ackroyd as Richard Nixon.

Some of you may not know stranger to providing impressions during his time on SNL, one of Dan Ackroyd's most infamous undertakings with that of Richard Nixon.

When I was president, I I did some bad things made people hate me.

I left that executive office under scandalous circumstances.

And while the future ghostbuster would only portray the embattled leader a handful of times, including a parody of the notorious Frost Nixon interviews it was his overstated performance that's rather significant.

Slight exaggerations and embellishments no doubt helped influence the show's future treatment of sitting presidents, allowing firm or loose representations rather than on the nose mimicking Were you, in fact, behind the Watergate?

Well, Johnny, to be perfectly honest and frank with you, and I'm most grateful for the monkey.

And while Old Tricky Dick would be Ackroyd's first foray in depicting a commander in chief, it certainly would not be his last.

Take it out on the book Number eight Chevy Chase as Gerald Ford.

When it comes to providing a spot on POTUS Impression, Chevy Chase's Gerald Ford leaves a lot to be desired.

However, when measuring its overall impact on popular culture, this portrayal is off.

Choosing to depict forward is a bumbling klutz.

Chase would actually go on to shake the president's public image on that point.

This despite the fact that number 38 was not a clumsy buffoon at all, but rather a capable athlete by four Fellow Merry Merry Christmas to all of you and Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Ford didn't seem to mind the oaf like representation, though, as he would even make a cameo on the program live from New York Saturday night.

Well, we suppose there are worse things than being seen as a pratfall.

President Ford popularity is certainly on a sharp rise here.

Well, thank you very much for calling, sir.

Please, just Well, this guy's in trouble.

Like Chevy's take on Ford, the admiration for Dan Ackroyd's Jimmy Carter was certainly a crucial part in building Snl's ensuing political satire Dominance.

You know the Caliper post on the first grade sliding armature.

Yes, okay, there's a three digit sitting there with a post in the amateur meat.

When the system was installed, the angle of cross slide was put in a maximum setting one.

But during these formative years, politics seemed to veer far from Saturday Night Live's comedic priorities, making Carter a bit of a throw away character.

It's my fault you had to resign because I'll set standards that were impossible to live with, even for someone who's just the slightest bit corrupt.

But even with authenticity, far from a necessity, Ackroyd gave it his best shot making for some rather favorable moments.

I don't believe that Mr Ford would purposely kill 50 million people.

Lack of leadership may lead to a total fire, a demonic Holocaust.

Sure, the hair and makeup are a far cry from future portrayals.

But like his foe Southern Accent, Ackroyd's presidential charm was cranked to the max.

It sure is, Peter, You know I'm against drug use myself.

But I'm not gonna lay that on your right now.

If it's an uncannily accurate presidential impression you're looking for, well, you need not search any further than J pharaohs run as President Barack Obama, Mr President, you seem very energized.

Bounce women come on, bounce with me a little bit.

Following Fred Armisen's exit from the show, Pharaoh took over the role and flexed his impersonation muscles in the process.

Everything from the tone of Obama's voice to the cadence in which he speaks is nothing short of pitch perfect.

You've got 48% of the vote, even though watching you run for president was like watching someone on roller skates try to climb stairs.

Unfortunately, the downfall of Jay's on point performance was that there really wasn't a whole lot of material to work with, at least compared to Barack.
