Darrell Hammond

With a barrage of spot-on celebrity impressions to keep audiences laughing, Saturday Night Live cast member Darrell Hammond has memorably harassed Alex Trebek (or at least Will Ferrell doing an easily angered caricature of Trebek) and skewered former president Bill Clinton on the late-night television staple with equal aplomb.

Finely tuning his impressions from the time of his childhood in Melbourne, FL, Hammond decided to pursue his niche after graduating from the University of Florida at Gainesville. Following his schooling Hammond relocated to New York to appear in off-Broadway plays, though he would soon return to Florida to sharpen his comedy skills in radio. After joining the SNL cast in September of 1995, Hammond also turned up on television in 3rd Rock From the Sun and performed stand-up for Comedy Central's Premium Blend. The versatile comic also followed the lead of numerous SNL cast members before him in shooting for the big screen in such efforts as Blues Brothers 2000 (1998) and with voice work in The King and I (1999). - Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
