For a long time he read real tweets verbatim in that raspy, strained voice with an undertone of whimpering, so much closer to the real thing than Alec Baldwin's. His Mnuchin and Eric impressions are hilarious. And he does a superb Biden, mining the funny parts of the president's personality (the aviator glasses; calling everyone "Jack"; etc.) more in adoration than insult.
