Liam ensen He’s not on the show though. This sketch is 2 great impressionists and 2 people suggesting that they’re impersonating other similar-sounding people.
It's like her voice is a distinctive character, too. But I've noticed that she actually has a more nondescript voice that she can switch into when she's being more serious. If you watch her America's Got Talent, she dials it way down.
She's an amazing impressionist and voice actor. If/when Melissa leaves SNL, now that she's famous she can have a tremendous career as a voice artist, doing voiceovers, commercials and animated films. That's a wonderful thing: you never age out of it, and you can work from anywhere.
She did a few impressions in the sketch where she's in bed with Aziz Ansari and he tries to "spice things up" with role-playing. It was really funny. And these days, you never know if an snl cast member will be on the show for a decade (or more) or for just one season.
@Lifted Sailboat I agree. I just saw her do solo stand-up in NYC now that SNL has a few weeks off. She had some pretty good material, but the dude who opened for her (who is not famous but has been grinding out a career as a stand-up for 15 years) blew her away in terms of confidence... and laughs. Melissa is clearly *not* on the writing team @ SNL; unlike, say, Tina Fey (who was hired as a writer and worked her way off the writing desk to be on on-camera star) Melissa is relying on other folks to write her SNL material. If she were a writer, too, she'd get more time on the show.
So glad to see Melissa is receiving the attention she deserves!! She has an amazing range of talents and you guys need to utilize her to the fullest!! She is an extremely talented lady!
Melissa Villasenor has become one of the best impressionists ever. Her ability to absolutely NAIL such niche and specific people is unprecedented. Everyone can do a lazy Christopher Walken or whatever, but being able to do a 100% accurate Kristen Wiig or Dolly Parton is unbelievable. Anyone can do an impression of over the top people, but Melissa can do impressions of such specificity and accuracy for extremely hard to do people.
Ryan Pfeiffer I don't know how she does it but she makes a face that make her look like Owen while she's doing the voice that makes the impression that much better.

Best skit I've seen in a while. I really hope they do more like this and utilize Melissa more often and not let her slip away into the background like Jay Pharaoh did
I just recently got into SNL a little over a year ago and I thought she was always doing the same character voice until I realized that was her actual voice ☠️😅😂😂
@@floraLi13 none of that was really racist. The mexican one was close, but shes Mexican herself. Also the one about laughing with jolly black people was actually kind of sweet.
Or the long lost fifth Maharelle sister from the Finger Lakes shows up out of nowhere: Djaneene, twin sister of Dooneese. But Djaneene has very large arms and hands, as she tried to absorb her sister in the womb. Will they part ways and never see each other again? Or start performing as a musical duo: Sisters in Arms.
This skit is hilarious and impressive! Octavia Spencer is such an underrated comedienne! She has a great sense of humor and is incredibly talented in impressions and comedic mannerisms.
+Keyvy Key This is her very first season. Melissa joined the cast in September 2016, Episode 1 of Season 42 as a featured player. In what sense is she "not new?"
The Kristen and Kate impressions were not just excellent voice matches, but she got the mannerisms dead on too. Kristen with her nonchalant almost flippant style and Kate with her perpetual over-the-top-ness. It's like they were right there all along.
Kareem Abdul Lavash It's actually Vaiana everywhere in Europe, I believe...outside of the US Vaiana is the norm bc there was a porn star and a cologne named Moana overseas
It's one thing to imitate voices with very distinct, unique, or exaggerated characteristics or accents. But what Melissa Villaseñor does, mimicking the subtle vocal nuances of people like Kristin Wiig and Kate McKinnon, is a completely different ballgame. And to be able to nail that in only four or five words is incredible!
Eh, isn't that like all animated movies nowadays? Crowd the movie poster with as many recognizable Hollywood actors as possible and call it a day basically.
4:24 - yeah, that is EXACTLY what I thought of her impersonation of Kate. It was sooooo spot on!! 😂🤣😂 Kate was probably in the background, laghing her ass off 🤣🤣🤣
Holy shit, Melissa just liked one of my tweets saying that I'm bowing down to her performance (SNL posted the part of this video where she impersonates Kristen) and I'd love to see her and Kristen together in a sketch :D I know, I'm pathetic, but this made my day :D
This was just an excuse for their three best impressionists to fuck around for 5 minutes and I’m here for it
I mean this was great but Bill Hader is still #1
Liam ensen He’s not on the show though.
This sketch is 2 great impressionists and 2 people suggesting that they’re impersonating other similar-sounding people.
@@lermberl Bill Hader is probably the type to hate comments like this.
Exactly right
Melissa & Kenan are fucking amazing.
For someone with such a distinct voice, Melissa villaseñor can RLY do some impressions
Yeah, she's a voice actress/impressionist.
It's like her voice is a distinctive character, too. But I've noticed that she actually has a more nondescript voice that she can switch into when she's being more serious. If you watch her America's Got Talent, she dials it way down.
Its kinda strange that both melissa and bill hader are great impressionists but have a weird natural voices
And yet they horrendously underuse her....
Her Owen Wilson impression is my favourite EVER......WOW!
I love how Melissa Villaseñor goes from impersonating Julia Louis Dreyfus to OWEN WILSON to Kate McKinnon!
Roger Plummer
Her Owen Wilson wasn't all that great tbh
@@coastaku1954 your capping right
Her Kathy Griffen was spot on too
Melissa NAILED Kristen Wiig!!
Correction: Melissa nailed EVERY SINGLE IMPRESSION!!!
how about julia louis dreyfus though ?
@@pigsonwings her Julia wasn’t dead on, but it was reminiscent enough
@DragonChild460 might have led to her never being on SNL, so maybe things happen for a reason
What about the so called j lo impression?
Yes!! She’s such a treasure
I want a sketch where Kate McKinnon reacts to Melissa impersonating her
I want one where Kate and Melissa swap bodies and spend the whole sketch impersonating each other and doing each other's impressions!
@@EricaGamet so basically just a Freaky Friday sketch
@@midniteblud Whatcha gonna do, it's a switcharoo!
NOW I NEED THISSSSS

She's awesome
@@MasonLyttle how?
okay, the Kristen Wiig one was really good, but the Kate Mckinnon sounded exactly like her wtf
1 Thousandth like for the comment
All of hers were damned good
Melissa Villaseñor is very good at impressions.
I love how Kenan made himself laugh with his Tracy Morgan impersonation. Also, holy shit that Kristen Wiig impression
Her Kristen Wiig impression was terrible. I didn't want to punch her at all.
@@JustinCoasters get out.
It’s so amazing that her actual voice is so distinct yet she nails everyone else’s so perfectly. I just love her
That Kate McKinnon impression was 100% on-point, I'm laughing so hard
zoozbuh YESYESYES
I want to know Kate's opinion on it.
zoozbuh she is way way overrated
Hmmm...I thought I heard a touch of Christopher Walken in it.
I only wish she had more lines of it. That really was flawless haha
I didn't think it was possible to troll Kristen Wiig, but Melissa proved me wrong.
Or Kate McKinnon.
Its easy because Kirsten Wiigs humor is very predictable and boring. Its much harder to troll good comedians like Bill Hader.
@@cobrax236 boring?? You go to hell.
Nah that impression was too good. If anything it was honoring her
@@cobrax236 opinions, I love her.
Melissa is insanely good at impressions. Definitely the best new cast member, could go on to be a star. The Kristen Wiig one was ridiculously good.
I love how even Octavia was clearly impressed when Melissa did the owen wilson impression.

Yeah her dolly parton is AMAZING! One sketch i seriously thought she was lip syncing to a recording but it was really Melissa's voice , incredible!
No one is talking about that Hugh Grant impression. Spot on
Hew kinda looks like him a bit too
Ugh he nails the impression but he gets so little credit!
@@theeleanorshellstrop he is so so talented snd nobody gives him enough credit
Terribly sorry....
Melissa V steals the shut out of this skit.
Melissa Villaseñor is becoming one of my favorite cast members. Solid impressions.
Is nobody going to mention how good that Hugh Grant impression was though???
I was literally searching for someone to mention it!!
Noticed it right away. Lol
Spot on!!!
I KNOWWWWWW!!!!
No kidding! First Hugh Grant impression I've heard and it was just spot on!
Shameless excuse to do celebrity impressions? I’m on board.
😌
When you impersonate Kate Mckinnon so we'll your face turns into her for a moment.
KATE MCKINNON IMPRESSION ON POINT
yeah, for a second I thought Kate did a voice over there
I liked Owen. lol All the rest were good, too.
Emmy Janina P
Owen is a Melissa classic, she did the impression once on SNL already... btw check her RUclips channel, it's full of impressinos
To Be Kristen Wiig, She needs to be 25 minutes longer and talk about nothing ala Lola Bunny.
Melissa finally got to use her Owen Wilson impression!
Ryan Pfeiffer she did it on a sketch in the Aziz Ansari episode
Ryan Pfeiffer I don't know how she does it but she makes a face that make her look like Owen while she's doing the voice that makes the impression that much better.

Marquel Darbey yup..looks like Bobby moynihans gone now too with his own CBS show soon!
Not much of a skit. Just a way to let their cast members do impressions.
Sea Pig Thank you, Captain Obvious
Carlos Rosa
OP said this skit was good. I disagreed. Great comment though. Never heard that one, Captain Oblivious.
Sea Pig OP must have deleted his comment before I came upon your yours. You're a good sport.
OMG Ms Villasenor is incredible. Her Kate McKinnon... it's like she swallowed McKinnon backstage.
NOOTCH!
When she started poking her head around, we knew she had her co-star down.
I’d pay 5 or 6 bucks to watch that.
She probably did
She was good, and then somehow Kate MacKinnon herself said the word bat. Like, I did not know that that was so essential to the Kate impression. 🤯
Melissa Villaseñor's actual voice sounds like she's doing an impression
Yeah, it's like she's never herself. Which is why she isn't funny.
@@Bubbles-od2tv I personally think she's very funny but to each his own
Her Mickey mouse is so effortless...but the impression that has me gasping for air is her SIMS characters...
I just recently got into SNL a little over a year ago and I thought she was always doing the same character voice until I realized that was her actual voice ☠️😅😂😂
I love seeing her in sketches! I love her energy. I wish I were that cute. And I'm lowkey in love with her voice
KATHY GRIFFIN & OWEN WILSON!!! OH MY GOSH MELISSA IS *AMAZING* !!!
Ummmm....KATE MCKINNON?!?!
My favorite was the Kristen Wig one. She really got that laugh down.
The Kristen Wiig tho!!!!
Jana Lodahl yes! the little chuckles made it.
Jana Lodahl yup, amazing
It reminded me of Kristen Wiig´s SNL skit with Lindsay Lohan, phone rings and she always answers WHO IS THIS?!
Jana Lodahl on point
ON POINT
Melissa has probably the best range of impressions on the show! I hope they keep putting her in more sketches!
If Jay Pharoah and Melissa Villasenor ever had kids together...their children would be able to do anyone's voice!
too bad she's racist
Linda Dlamini how?
@@floraLi13 bro? How?

And Alex Moffat and Octavia Spencer and Kenan Thompson and Beck Bennett
Pretty darn gd tho
It looks like Melissa Villaseñor is starting to appear in more sketches. It's about time. She's really funny, and needs more time to shine.
Randy H. She is very funny but her main talent is impressions so she’s limited on the show
LOVE her!
Impressions are perhaps the most versatile talent in SNL. Bout damn time they give her a reoccurring bit on Weekend Update
Randy H. I can not agree. She is very limited
I absolutely love Melissa Villaseñor
I really need a skit with melissa doing kristen wiig with kristen wiig in it. Or kate mckinnon. Or both
Melissa versus Penelope SHOWDOWN
Gilly's daughter, Schmilly?
Yesssss
WE NEED THIS!
Or the long lost fifth Maharelle sister from the Finger Lakes shows up out of nowhere: Djaneene, twin sister of Dooneese. But Djaneene has very large arms and hands, as she tried to absorb her sister in the womb.
Will they part ways and never see each other again?
Or start performing as a musical duo: Sisters in Arms.
melissa crush activated
Meliss needs to give Kate McKinnon her soul back.
Melissa killed it! Her impressions of Kristen, Owen, and Kate were spot on...
The Kristin wiig and Kate McKinnon is on point!!! :)
The Kate was fantastic but holy shit the Kristen was like she was actually in the room...
Melissa really saved this sketch. Hope to see more of her
Emm98 lol they definitely just put this sketch together so Melissa could show her talents.
You know you're a big shot when your team mates mimic impressions of you on a show that you're still a part of! Go Kate!
Lone Wolf Dana Carvey did Dennis Miller and i don't think he was much of a big shot.

Her impressions were spot on, especially her Jodie Foster one.
@@noneyabuizness You could shut your eyes and swear it was Jodie Foster herself.
That Kate McKinnon impression is so good, need a whole skit of that
If I closed my eyes I would have sworn that was Kristen Wiig. Melissa is killing it these days!!!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Kate Mckinnon, and Kristen Wiig impressions on point!
All three are SNL cast members (JLD was in the cast in the 1980s. She got overshadowed by Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo).
@@canaisyoung3601 And soon Melissa will be able to impersonate them all, in a one-man SNL show
Might just be me, but does anybody else find Alex Moffat to be really cute? Loved his Hugh Grant impression as well.
Mee too! I literally look for this comment on each of his videos.
Alex Moffat 💜
Not my cup of tea
gay
Kris Chillinsky how can you not be gay for Alex
How can Mellisa do such a god damn accurate Kristen wiig impression? She sound more like her than Kristen herself
Melissa is obviously fantastic at impersonating a variety of characters but I was blown away by how good Octavia Spencer is for not being a comedian
Who is this new girl? Her impressions were amazing (especially Kate's)
Grendel Sloth it's melissa villaseñor. she has an awesome youtube channel
Grendel Sloth she's not new she's just not in enough skits
Grendel Sloth If I remember correctly, she got really far into America's Got Talent for her impressions.
+Keyvy Key This is her very first season. Melissa joined the cast in September 2016, Episode 1 of Season 42 as a featured player. In what sense is she "not new?"
What will SNL do when Kenan Thompson leaves?
Great Job find just about anyone else? Dude has been coasting since All That
damn vro
Yeah, he's not funny and has no range at all. Why they use him so much, I don't know.
Get about 20x better.
He is pretty much Mr. SNL right now.
Melissa Villasenor has stolen my heart! A great talent, this cast and writers has been fantastic.
It took me way too long to realize the range Melissa Villaseñor has. These impressions were outstanding.
The Kristen and Kate impressions were not just excellent voice matches, but she got the mannerisms dead on too. Kristen with her nonchalant almost flippant style and Kate with her perpetual over-the-top-ness. It's like they were right there all along.
Finally they use Melissa! She's got like 300 other characters she can do.
Thaaaaat... is actually the name of Zootopia in the UK. Sadly.
But why?
There is a Danish zoo project that has had a copyright on the name since 2013 I think
UK can't top Czech Republic with this though: Moana in US, Vaiana in Czech Republic. o.O
learn how to read
Kareem Abdul Lavash It's actually Vaiana everywhere in Europe, I believe...outside of the US Vaiana is the norm bc there was a porn star and a cologne named Moana overseas
FUCKING HELL THEY FINALLY USED THAT OWEN WILSON IMPRESSION
Flazé Da I love your name!
Flazé Da she did it in the bedroom skit
Flazé Da come on chin strap!!!
WAKE UP PEARL
Mellissa is just spot on. I feel like She’s the kind of person no matter how she hung out with she can replicate their voice
We fall in love with Melissa more with every moment she is on screen.
Her Kate McKinnon impression was spot on 😂😂
I hope they start utilizing Melissa more often. She is absolutely incredible.
Gotta say Melissa is cute in a weird way
Yea i thought she was ugly at first but she's kinda cute......her voice on the other hand😒
She's like a female Ray Romano!
Yeah she is.
I'll take "things I wouldn't describe as 'cute'" for $800, Alex.
But in all honesty, I am pleasantly surprised by her range so far.
Boost4Life i don't know. I'd say in right way.
They need to do this at least once every season just to let Melissa do her thing...
Lots of well-deserved love Melissa here. She’s fantastic. But can we also talk about how Alex’s Hugh Grant impression was literally PERFECT lol
WE NEED TO HEAR MORE MELISSA DOING VOICES!
Adam Bielski she does on her channel
Great to see Melissa Villaseñor showcasing her impersonations finally!
Omg Kristen AND Kate?! I'm loving Melissa!
That new cast member is really good, her facial change doing Owen Wilson is Jim Carrey-esque
How did Melissa Villaseñor absolutely nail the Kate McKinnon impersonation so well?? That’s incredible
She probably copied how she acted behind the scenes.
"Hey…hey…I'm a byat…OK?" x^D
Am I the only one who likes Melissa better when she's not talking in her own voice. 😂😂
Nope. Her actual voice sounds like she's doing...a weird voice.
I rate her own voice 8/8 m8, would totally smash.
Keith- Who rates things out of 8?
I love her voice- nothing better than being unique in showbusiness
Caprizonica- being unique isn't always a good thing, especially when your voice sounds like "Pat" from the old SNL skits with Julia Sweeney.
I love Melissa so much. I'm so happy she finally got on SNL and everyone gets to see how great she is
the hugh grant impression was so accurate
Villasenor's Julia Louis-Dreyfus was crazy on point
Plus the line she read was perfect, a single sentence that accurately embodies her
Melissa is actually amazing
That Kate McKinnon impression was vet good.
*very
Melissa was so good with that Kristen Wig, Kate McKinnon and the woman from seinfield that I almost peed a little. XD
Her McKinnon was absolutely incredible!!!!!! Kristen impression was also amazing, and so was Owen Wilson
It's one thing to imitate voices with very distinct, unique, or exaggerated characteristics or accents.
But what Melissa Villaseñor does, mimicking the subtle vocal nuances of people like Kristin Wiig and Kate McKinnon, is a completely different ballgame. And to be able to nail that in only four or five words is incredible!
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING OFF MELISSA'S TALENTS!!!!! Kate was SPOT-ON!
Finally they let melissa shine!
I LOOOVVVVVEEEE breadcrumbs!
That was on point Oprah! LMAO.
I laughed so hard at the Kate McKinnon impression i choked on some chips I was eating lol
I love how silent the audience goes when they work out that Melissa is gonna do Kate's impression and then she absolutly nails it
I died at Kristen Wiig.
60 years of acting, im showing my beaver. yasssss
kate mckinnon impression: she only said 4 words but she was able to do it with justice!!
So...they didn't feel like writing a skit and someone said "just let them do impressions and we'll make up some reason for it!"
Shh...
Why you gotta give away trade secrets like that?
Great impressions, but are we not gonna point out how STACKED the cast of this "movie" is?
Eh, isn't that like all animated movies nowadays? Crowd the movie poster with as many recognizable Hollywood actors as possible and call it a day basically.
Melissa killed it! Glad to see her skills being used on the show!

"Isn't that like _Zootopia?"_ she says after being in _Zootopia_
Yeah, she was mrs. Otterton
They should have more impression skits like this. I would love to see what every other cast member has up their sleeves.
I’ve been looking for this for many years as “acting janitor”.
beck's Javier Bardem is hilarious
Alex’s Hugh Grant KILLS me!!!
Holy shit, Melissa just liked one of my tweets saying that I'm bowing down to her performance (SNL posted the part of this video where she impersonates Kristen) and I'd love to see her and Kristen together in a sketch :D I know, I'm pathetic, but this made my day :D
She hearted a comment of mine and I almost caused a ten car pile up
Not pathetic, sweet ❤️
The Kathy Griffin one was the best, but somehow no one else has mentioned it.
WaitingtoHit I love the Kathy Griffin one! it was spot on!
I wanna see Kate react to this 😂
finally we’re seeing melissa’s talent, her kate impression was AMAZING
I love octavia spencer
Always when I see her in the movie I know this is going to to be a good movie
