> The problem with impressionists is that once you get over how good the impression is (and that Denzel was GOOD), you need the situation and writing to be funny to really keep it going. I don’t think that was the case with this sketch.

I think you and \*\*fiddlesticks \*\*got it right. A good impression is impressive and interesting, but not funny by itself. He needs to bring on the funny.

And, I too thought that the “Mom’s New Boyfriend Show” was hilarious.
