Darrell Hammond is a celebrated actor, comedian, impressionist, and longtime member of Saturday Night Live (SNL). From 1995 to 2009, he was a standout performer on the show, making him the second-longest-serving cast member in SNL history. In 2014, he returned as the show’s announcer, a role he still holds.
Renowned for his impersonations, Hammond has performed over 100 celebrity impressions, most famously of Bill Clinton and Donald Trump—both of which he’s reprised on SNL to great acclaim. He’s also appeared on The Howard Stern Show and had his own Comedy Central Presents stand-up special.
Beyond SNL, Hammond has had roles in TV and film, including guest spots on Law & Order: SVU and Criminal Intent, and appearances in Celtic Pride, Scary Movie 3, Agent Cody Banks, and Blues Brothers 2000. He also starred on Broadway in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and played Colonel Sanders in a KFC ad campaign.
In 2011, he released a best-selling memoir, God, If You’re Not Up There, I’m Fcked*, revealing his struggles with childhood trauma, mental health, addiction, and his time on SNL. In recent years, Hammond has continued working in TV and voice acting, including appearances on Criminal Minds, At Home with Amy Sedaris, and Marvel’s animated What If…? series.
