SNL 27 years later: let’s put this on youtube
RUclips 7 years after that: let’s put this in everyone’s recommended
3 years later its happening in real life
@@alexanderwhite8281Come on, man!
Here in September 2024, RUclips just landed this one in my recommendations. So glad they did 😂
After 4:00, it's all unscripted. It's all Robin Williams' improv.
Brilliant in everything he did
RIP Robin and Phil
Cool to see Phil Hartman there who also played a great Reagan himself
Is it so hard to get the aspect ratio right? Let alone have the presence of mind to actually put the actors' names in? Sheesh
This was back in the days of 4:3.
Remember when TV was 4:3 and not widescreen?
How am I only NOW seeing this?! Robin as Reagan is the content I need.
@PP Wieners I'd say you're the "dumb son of a bitch" for not seeing that the question was rhetorical and not meant to be taken seriously.
Mitchell I just saw this for the first time too. As talented as Robin Williams was, Johnny Carson's Reagan was better:

I dont really know how you came here but CNN just brought up Reagan less than 24hrs ago, YT algo may have shot this into your choices because Reagan was mentioned again in news.
other comments are 1-6 years old.
BEHOLD! The Algorithm works in mysterious ways! Witness that which The Algorithm demands you witness!
@@FWDDGS May the Algorithm bless you with wonderful content sir.
Phil Hartman and Robin Williams
RIP :(
sgecko7 the world already seems less 🔆 without them.
RIP Reagan, our greatest president ever
@@edwardcross3720 not Trump?
@@gustavgnoettgen No, Reagan all the way, Trump is a good president but he's a wanna be Reagan. In fact Reagan's campaign slogan was Let's Make America Great Again
@@edwardcross3720 wasn't it Make America Great?
Robin Williams was a national treasure, but no one could touch Phil Hartman's Reagan impersonation. Losing Hartman as we did was tragic.
He was another white racist. Good riddance
part of the hilarity is it is because it is true and also we want it to be true;-)
As if. Hartman's was an amusing caricature. This impression is dead on.
I think SNL replaced Hartman as Reagan because too many of Reagan's supporters liked it.
He was not a 'national treasure'. He was a coked up comedian, and nothing else.
Love this skit, but let's not forget Phil Hartman's Reagan - incredible too!
Quite ironic since it was later revealed that Reagan was in earlier stages of Alzheimer's. Check out Nancy Reagan' later interview.
@@geraldstephens6612 ironic? No, it’s exactly what they’re joking about
@@geraldstephens6612 The irony; for decades the Soviet Union had appointed doddery old geriatric after geriatric to the top position, they finally appoint a young reformer and the US elects Reagan.
I think Robin was doing a very good impression of Phil Hartman's very good impression of Ronald Reagan. It was an Impreception!
@@iainbagnall4825 What are you talking about about? If you mean Gorbachev, you are awfully wrong regarding the timeline. Reagan had already won his 2nd election when Gorbachev entered the scene.
Wow, he was a really subtle imitator, acting rather than just caricature.
If you ever see his impression of the famed actor John Houseman it's pretty spot on.
Yeah big time.
You're right. I'm actually really impressed. But I've always loved his acting.
Back when actors did not need to read cue cards and memorized lines
His facial expressions were incredible. He was a great actor. I whish we could tell him all these honest soul words. Maybe he still would be with us... RIP
Not just the facial expressions - the head movements at 1:09-1:13 are exact imitations of Reagan's.
the man was in pain. it wasn't just depression. it was hallucinations and physical pain too.
‘Honest soul words’
@@H0MY911 Damn that's sad.
@BattleAngelFan I think he means Williams, since apparently he died very recently.
I hope Robin Williams making God laugh right now
+iammontecristo don't recall him believing! but Im sure you meant well.
+ShutterShock that's quite rude. But I'm sure you meant well.
iammontecristo Phil Hartman has passed away too
@@bodhisativaa why is that rude?
Didnt he commit suicide? That's not a way up to the Almighty it's a shame to say because I absolutely LOVE Robin Williams he will always be sorely missed
Robin Williams made Ronald Reagan jokes in his Met performance in 1984, and now this seems like a dream come true.
"Meteoric" doesn't even begin to describe Williams' career in the 80's. I grew up with Mrs Doubtfire and I loved going back and seeing his old movies and stand-up.
Robin Williams defined asshole.
There are four movies that were made before Williams' suicide.
Not released yet.
It's too soon
There are four movies with Robin Williams in them that were made before his suicide. They have not been released yet. It's too soon
Lmao, that part with the police radio interference reminds me of Marlon Brando. In his later years working on a movie he made a demand to have an ear piece in that they could read his lines to him on. They did it, and that exact thing happened. He actually started repeating the police radio chatter. True story.
What movie was that?
What's the bet that for the last minute or so, the script just said, "Robin wings it for about a minute, concluding with LIVE AT NEW YORK IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!"
It's a suckers bet is what it is.
@@Harmthuria Only a sucker would bet against Robin’s improv ability.
Remember the time when SNL had to exaggerate the behaviour of Presidents in order to be funny?
Seneca Yasashige Some of us saw Reagan as pretty much a faker.
@@howardquinn5911 sad
@@god-of-war-fan Reagan was horrible he had an anti-drug campaign but he was making deals with Pablo Escobar everybody knows that and on top of that he was a racist Reagan is one of the worst Presidents ever next to Donald j Trump George Washington Thomas Jefferson etc all these men were horrible but Reagan is up there as one of the worst
haha, it's clear you weren't around back then. If anything, they understated it.
They won't need to do that anymore,l0l!!!
I love the fact that He's being briefed by Lionel Hutz
@Steve Duke you may also remember him from such educational films as "Nazi supermen are not our superiors!" Featuring Troy McClure....
Zapp Brannigan
@@ezekielbrockmann114 not Zapp Brannigan. I think he was wanted but was killed before he could do Billy West (Fry) did it impersonating him.
@@Eric_1991 your correct, its one a hell of an impression
Who was briefing Kamala with her audio ear rings?
Back when a completely incoherent presidential press conference would have been unusual and shocking.
What are you on about? Biden isn’t president.
Have you seen Kayleigh McEnany destroy CNN "reporters"? She is the most sensible and savagely smart Press Secretary we've had in years.
@@Toybinger You mean when she says something false and ridiculous, and then abruptly walks away as if to simulate what people would call a "mic drop" if it were done after saying something true and clever?
@@Toybinger
Yeah Alibi Barbie lies like the Titanic under the Atlantic.
@@TheSwiftFalcon what are your pronouns?
THIS is why I LOVED Robin Williams, a God Father of comedy...may he be resting sweetly
More like it's Crazy Cousin. There are so many greats before him, and even Robin would be quick to point that out. Man, I miss him.
I'm surprised that was Robin Williams. I immediately recognized his face but the voice was pretty close to Ronald Reagan. Some people have tons of talent.
@@coyotetrickster5758 For instance, Jonathan Winters, who Williams lifted his who act from.
It's amazing how Robin goes from distracted president to full-on hyperactive radio chatter. My grin was widening more and more towards the end.
He was lightning quick. Sorely miss this sweet, funny man.
Robin Williams defined asshole.
Phil Hartman had a presence and magnetism in SNL only a few people had, like John Belushi, Bill Murray or Eddie Murphy. 89 to 92 SNL cast was my favorite.
This man is one of my biggest heroes, ever single one of his impressions is so acute and erudite that he seems almost indistinguishable from the real person. His comedy is a result of profound Intellectual observation and excellent co-ordination of both body and voice (clearly a result of his illustrious Julliard training), I feel personally honoured that one of my ex-girlfriends used to compare me to him. Today's so-called "comedians" could learn a great deal from this exceptional man.
This is a great observation. Now that he's gone, he'll only be appreciated even more. Immensely talented and charming man
haha, guess your ex didn't like Robin Williams, tough shit
I love Robin Williams. As a kid Hook and Aladdin were two of favorite movies growing up. The world lost one the greatest treasures in Robin Williams!
I watched hook the other day as a adult, and it was still a amazing movie! stood the test of time very well!
@@sicilianjiu-jitsu2984 Yeah it's one of my favorites! Heck Julia Roberts is soo cute in her scenes with Robin Williams
Mrs. Doutfire all the way!
@@GnomaticReverie Mrs. Doubtfire all the way was in my top 3 Robin Williams movies yes!
@@vincentmartinez8241 my top 3 are Dead Poet Society and the Bird Cage w Good Will Hunting being honorable mention only bc he didn’t have the starring role.
"Might sound like a lob." "Well I'm here to serve". Great lines.
We miss u Robin RIP
Even though he's gone I still watch every movie he was in
His voice is perfect.
i miss you dearly Robin Williams. I pray you Rest in Peace.
“Nancy and I are still looking for the other half of my head.”
What a cast. Phil Hartman, Kevin Nealon, Robin Williams?!
And Wayne
Kind of chilling to see williams and hartman together, knowing what would happen to them.
Both gentle geniuses who delighted millions of people
he could do any role.not only was he a comic genius but he was also an amazing actor
I completely agree with you !
Dead Poet’s Society was really good.
COMEDY GOLD!!!! Robin as Reagan doing a police report. I miss Robin and Phil---I imagine they are entertaining heaven.
This is amazing. Rip Robin and Phil
I would love to see Robin Williams comedy routines for Donald Trump
@00:42 is it Larry David calling for the President?
End of quote, repeat line
I miss Robin, but I really miss Phil Hartman. I saw him once at a taping for New Radio. He was so sweet with the audience.
Newsradio is my favorite show!! I'm so jealous
I saw Robin and just started crying. Goodnight Vietnam!
"Now, Robin, if you could bear with us and stay on script for three minutes, then you can go nuts with whatever pops into your head."
Probably about how that went. I do miss Robin's wild rants.
R.I.P. Robin Williams and Phil Hartman
2:21 When Robin Williams goes full Regan
Miss Phil and Robin so much! 😥 Also Jan Hooks is in the sketch she sadly passed away they are all missed so much.
I don't remember Reagan like this but this sure is like Biden
Wow, I missed this one, too. This must have been during an era when I had other things to do on Saturday night. Robin Williams channeling his channel switching insanity through a Ronald Reagan facade was amazing.
Exactly what I was going to say.
god i miss him ... the world needs Robin back
The entire last part was absolutely Robin just improvising....that's how much of a genius he was!!! My god!
Only Robin Williams could have pulled off that skit. That was Robin’s strong point, chaotic comedy. This was extremely funny, yet clean!!!
I love the fact that it seems they are at each end of a long corridor but if you watch the shadows, RW is just through the doors in the background of the transmitter room.
Phil is a legend and I never knew Kevin Nealon was part of SNL.
Kevin Nealon carried soooooo many skits and the weekend update! And HANS AND FRANS
Thumbs up if you actually figured out this is Robin Williams without reading the comments.👍🏻
He was a very famous actor, who wouldn't recognize his face? (Williams, no Reagan) ;)
Robin Williams predicting 38 years into the future, 10 years after his death and actually doing Joe Biden instead!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 RIP Robin Williams, comedic genius!!
The only person who could top this cold open was Williams himself. Rest in Laughs little big man.
I cried of laughter
..this is pure gold and national treasure by my standards
God damn I miss Robin Williams
Phil Hartman (1948-1998)
Robin Williams (1951-2014)
I heard Robin Williams improvised that whole last part
RIP Robin but we could really use you down here. This world needs heart and you had it.
Phil Hartman as the speech prepper/writer. Robin Williams, a master impersonator.
That was kinda like watching Trump but funny and not real.
Robins Reagan impression is great!
Loved Robin Williams, Loved Ronald Reagan, Loved Phil Hartman... this was great!
Robin Williams had such a profound impact on my childhood affecting my ability to function as a stable human being.
I assume it was a positive effect. Which is interesting, though, he being sadly far from stable.
@@daverockwell1996 of course it was positive. i didn't get he was on cocaine for the first part of his career until i was an adult, which explained a lot of the crazy live performances, but his natural energy and unequaled improvisational outbursts is what i was attracted to. plus Hook is the best Peter Pan story ever.
Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower and apparently Ronald Reagan. Robin really knew how to play presidents! R.I.P.
Robin Williams was a national treasure. Gone too soon, May he rest in peace
I love Reagan and I love Williams. Both were just great people. I feel like as a Gen Z, I’ve missed out on alot.
It's pretty amazing that in the last 40 years the general consensus has been that every republican president was considered an idiot by the majority of Americans.
This joke and others like it wouldn't have worked if that's not what the people were thinking at the time based on real time observations.
its a good point but completely ignores the fact that evey program has a viewer demographic and those demographics vary based on a number of things such as subject matter, setting, characters and time slots. SNL and most sketch comedy has a fairly left leaning viewer demographic in the age ranges of about 30-40 and the producers of these programs tend to know that and cater their content towards it a little.
Its like how CNN had less viewership than HGTV a couple years ago. You'd think every American was on the same page because the same stories get repeated through a majority of the news networks and its all you see on TV but the reality is viewership is relatively small compared to even cartoon networks and is continuing to drop so television is not a good indicator of American sentiments towards politics. Elections however are really good indicators but even those can be misleading. 2016 for example when trump won but still lost the popular vote by about 3 million when the reality is that pretty much all of those votes came from new york and California so great indicators of how those states feel but the rest of the country didagreed for the most part. A couple cities shouldn't be able to decide elections just like how a television show should not be used to gage how people feel politically.
@@bradyj55 Excellent point.
I'd still argue that, for a national show and comedy in general, the premise of a joke relies on a shared reality that subverts assumed expectations. That's why jokes work.
I liked your examples of ratings, viewership, and elections. Interesting bits I should have factored in.
Thank you for your insight. Gave me something to think about.
Looks more like Biden. Love Robin thou.
Rest in powerful peace my favorite celebrity and homie of all time Robin McLaurin Williams 🙏
21 July 1951 ~
11 August 2014⚘
If Robin was still around, I wonder what jokes he would’ve made about Trump. 🤔
Yeah he left you hanging...
Robin and Phil. How I miss those funny fellas.
I love Robin Williams but I think Phil Hartman is the better Reagan impersonator
Robin has always been my hero ever since Aladdin, jumanji, and his early stand ups. His death took a lot of light out of this world.
This is just like our current President, only more coherent!
FJB
Just like tfg, who still doesn't know what the Civil War was about, where he is, or that there were no aircraft or airports in 1776.
Funny how he did this with Phil Hartman because he was the BEST REAGAN!
I’m laughing out loud but crying a bit inside
Best Ronald Regan impersonation. Robin Williams was and will always be one of the best comedic actors.
Can you imagine how Robin Williams would do Biden today in 2024? This is pretty close actually
Robin would have made one of the greatest cast members ever! The world is a little less without his legendary talent.
Rip Robin Williams i hope your making God laugh now. The world miss you deeply
A hidden gem from one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived!
It wouldn't surprise me if he improvised this entire thing!
No disrespect to the Great Robin Williams, but let's also not look over the tragedy of Phil Hartman too
I love how Phil Hartman is right next to Robin Williams, just the two best impersonators of Ronald Regan.
Robin William was so talented!
This was 10 years ago when political jokes were crafted. Today, in 2024, we have Donald Trump the joke.
Troy McClure !
LMAO..HILARIOUS!!!! Thank you, ROBIN for ALL the Laughter!!
There was a slit where Reagen was outside welcoming Congressmen into a building. The sound effects were done with sounds of lightening and thunder going off with flashes of light from the press. It was hilarious. I wish you could find it.
This is what they do for Biden Now.
This is more accurate for Biden.
Who could have predicted art in 1986 would imitate life in 2024....
That guy to Robin Williams left sounds like Troy McClure, Lionel Hutz and Miguel Sanchez
no way?
Phil hartman
1:25 Woah, I didn’t expect to see a painting of Jordan Peterson
He was great rip I miss him so much
As much of SNL I've seen since season 1 way back in the day somehow I missed this. I thought it was the Phil Hartman Reagan, thanks for the upload
How did I miss this skit? Anyway, he captured some of Reagan’s smarminess as well as his sense of humor.
Thanks to whoever uploaded this and to RUclips!
Robin Williams NAILED IT
biden today lol
Those were the days when 'Saturday Night Live" was actually funny.
Reagan was always funny to me as a kid, I guess kids now laugh at Trump. The idea of the sketch is so simple but RW was just so talented, I like the clip clop of his feet too- all so funny.
