Who should portray Comey on SNL?

[Louis1895]

I think Chris Parnell would do a great job!

[LisaM]

1. Eddie Murphy as Gumby. n/t

[FakeNoose]

2. Taran Killam would be great

...but he's no longer on the show. Neither is Chris Parnell, though.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Him

[oasis]

8. Detleff Schremph. Nah! his Actor's Union card expired. nt

[southerncrone]

4. Kevin Nealon

[A-Schwarzenegger]

5. Don Knotts.

[DFW]

6. I was going to suggest Bert Parks

But he's a little too deceased for the part.

[blogslut]

7. Ed Begley Jr.

He's the right age, the right height, and he would be swell.

Or former cast member and husband of Julia Louie-Dreyfus, Brad Hall:

9. Dan Aykroyd. And Rosie O. Should play Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

What a show that would be!

[GeorgeGist]

10. Will Farrell

[bluedigger]

11. Steve Carell.

[hatrack]

12. Chris Cooper

.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. Ted Cassidy as Lurch as Comey

(they are almost the same height with Ted 1" taller, but I know he ain't around anymore)

[Sancho]

14. Hell...just let Comey on the show...

he's unemployed...may think it's fun.

15. Some of the answers you're getting are outstanding!

Including your answer, Chris Parnell.

Other great answers already posted:
- Chris Cooper
- Steve Carell
- Will Farrell
- Kevin Nealon
- Dan Aykroid

(BTW, it wouldn't have to be a cast member of SNL - it could be a "guest host&quot

Jim Carrey would be great - he can play anyone, (except I think he has a beard now)

How about Patton Oswalt?..(His face looks a lot like Comey's)

How about Leonardo DiCaprio? (He now looks a lot like Comey)

How about Johnny Depp?

[Barack_America]

16. George Clooney.

Or someone else equally handsome and charasmatic to piss the hell out of Trump.

[NewJeffCT]

17. That's what I was thinking

since he thinks a woman portraying Spicer makes him look weak...

[Barack_America]

19. Precisely.

[red dog 1]

20. + 1

Good choice - He could guest host SNL

[milestogo]

18. I don't think Comey is worth imitating.

He doesn't do anything extreme and the public doesn't know his mannerisms.

[red dog 1]

22. Where's your sense of humor?

Who cares about "mannerisms"?

tRump firing Comey is NEWS!

And SNL is a COMEDY show that makes fun of tRump "news"

If Comey isn't worth imitating - then who is?

[milestogo]

24. My sense of humor is deteriorating due to the current political situation.

I am now in the crying zone.

[red dog 1]

31. "due to the current political situation"..

..having a sense of humor is more important than ever, imo.

In fact, these days, threads like this one help me keep from just wanting to cry.

(I think we've all been more or less "in the crying zone" since November 8th of last year)

[WinkyDink]

21. Only Alec Baldwin approaches physical similarity.

[red dog 1]

23. Google "Leonardo DiCaprio - Recent Photos"

Alec Baldwin does resemble Comey, so he would probably be able to pull it off.

(Patton Oswalt has Comey's face..but he's heavier than Comey)

[WinkyDink]

25. Alec has the stature; Leo does not.

[red dog 1]

32. I guess you're right.

Alec Baldwin is great..there's no doubt about that.

[phleshdef]

26. Comey is damn near 7 feet tall.

Gotta keep that in mind.

[MFM008]

27. He really is that tall?

I thought the room was tilted.
No wonder maggot didn't want to go near him.....

[herding cats]

28. I read he's 6'8"

I looked it up when I saw him towering over Trump in a pic.

[MFM008]

29. Geez

Land of the Giants.

[Grammy23]

30. Yes, I noticed how tall he is in a clip showing Comey shaking hands with trump

and someone else. Comey is much taller than either man. Head and shoulders taller.

[red dog 1]

34. Yeah, you're right, he's 6' 8" tall

Perhaps Alec Baldwin could wear platform shoes to increase his height?

[Lucinda]

33. He's a little young looking, and thinner than Comey, but I'd go with Jim Parsons.
