From what people have told me, Mike Meyers. I would think that Dana Carvey and Dan Akroid could do good impersonations too. ---

The SNL guy who looks most like me I think is David Spade, though in order to play me properly he’d have to make his voice a little more…boring. I just don’t have the same surely attitude, at least not in my voice. ---

Jon Lovitz, I guess. He’s got a high, nasal voice and I don’t, but I suppose he looks as much like me as anybody ever on SNL. ---

Despite being female, I have the horrible feeling that it would be Horatio Sanz. ---

It’s hard to say, because you never know what peculiarities the various actors might play on. Julia Sweeney probably looks most like me, but several of them could be made to resemble me passably. I love Ana Gasteyer, I bet she’d do a great job. Rachel Dratch might be just the ticket, too. I guess we’ll just have to sit back and see who parodies me when I’m elected. ---

Dan Ackroyd must be to “celebrity resemblances” what chicken is to “exotic vertebrate flavor.” For his take on President Otis B. Terrifel, he’d probably have to use his “Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute” voice-- and also the wardrobe, as I anticipate a fairly informal presidency. ---

It just occurred to me that all the actresses I named have terrible voices that are nothing like mine. I’ll have to think about whether they ever had an actress on SNL with a low, melodious voice. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-youve-been-elected-president/335473.md?page=1)
