On The Late Late Show, Craig Fergussen dresses up as Prince Charles in alot
of skits. He also does skits as Mick Jagger, Michael Caine and Sean Connery.
I usually tape it.

Don't even get me started on all the MadTV characters I love.

I especially love Will Sasso's 'Steven Segal'. Freeking awesome.
Also his handyman workshop character that gets maimed all the time.
And his Kenny Rogers drunken impersonation.

LORRAINE!@!#@!, !!!
Stuart & mom,
Trina,
The Gap Troll
This n' that with Rusty,
Swan,
ANYTHING with Bobby Lee, especially 'Tank'!
any of their movie/tv spoofs
and especially the red carpet interviews.

and I love it when Seth Green guest stars on Brightling Greeting sketches (the angry older wheelchaired duo who runs a greeting card company, and keeps smashing into the desks with the wheelchairs-CHOMEDY).

My fave SNL characters are
anything with Christopher Walken,
Mr. Peepers !!!
Mango,
Spartan Cheerleaders,
Roxbury Guys,

and holy cow, I love Buddy Mills. Wish there were more of those!

I used to love various Jay Leno characters: Evil Jay, Iron Jay, Beyondo, Mr. Brain and Billy Tuttle. Now it's just crap like hidden camera stuff and Ross the Extremely Annoying Intern. For me, now it's just the monologue, Headlines, and whenever they have stuff like Truth in Labeling, The Duller Image, etc.
