Impressionist Week on the Late Show

These impressionists keep getting worse and worse. Notice the awkward silences at times.

Jim Carey was the only one I found spot on.
Seriously, since you've introduced Frank Caliendo in January I haven't been able to find someone equally talented.
Oh please let Kip Addota be tonight.
It seems like they all do the exact same impressions, and they're all impersonating people that are practically walking charicatures of themselves to begin with.
I agree with above - Frank Caliendo is far more talented then any of the Late Show "spotlights" so far.
Rich Little is still the best of the ones posted
The actors aren't that bad. Walken, for instance, is quite good. I just wish these impressionists would skip Dubya for once. You're right though, Caliendo raised the bar considerably.
Rich Little is a legend. The rest of these guys are just OK.
This guy's voices were nowhere near correct. He did Jim Carey's attitude and face quite well, but that's about it.
And I agree, stop imitating Dubya; I've yet to hear a single person get the voice right.
If I see one more freaking Jack Nicholson, I'm going to snap.
Yeah it's too bad that he had to follow all the others Bushes, Nicholsons, and Deniros. I liked his Nicholson.
The best impressions are of people who aren't that strange in real life, but once see the impression you notice all the funny things about them. Seeing a Jim Carrey impression is just like watching a Jim Carrey movie in grainy black and white--same comedic effect, poor quality copy.
His Gary Shandliung was quite good but Holy Crap I sound more like Walken when I talk normally than he does when he's allegedly 'doing' Walken.
Sidenote: Impressionists should never be allowed to make Walken, DeNiro, Pacino, Clinton, Bush 1 or 2, Nixon, Shatner, Nicholson, Reagan, Jimmy Stewart part of their act unless they can really bring something new to the table. If you can't beat the best then don't try.
Also why do Carrey, the man has no actual personality of his own, it's like doing an impression of an impressionist.
Here's my impression of an impressionist: "Hey everybody! I was only popular in school because I could do Kermit the Frog singing Rainbow Connection now I can do FOUR more voices, though none well, anyway here they are, please laugh, your laughter sustains me."
Sorry, I'm in a really bad mood today.
Hopefully anyone who goes to the Venetian in Las Vegas, doesn't realize they have a comedy show.
This guy sucks ass.
He's not THAT bad, it seems that nerves got to him a little.
