Saturday Night Live has a long history of great celebrity impressions, but some of the funniest moments happen when the real people being impersonated show up to confront their TV counterparts. In this first installment, Nick revisits some of the best examples, including Ego Nwodim’s Dionne Warwick standing face-to-face with the real Dionne, Hillary Clinton joining Amy Poehler during a Cold Open, Vanessa Bayer and Jennifer Aniston facing off in a Rachel Green showdown, and Nicolas Cage appearing alongside Andy Samberg’s over-the-top version of himself on Weekend Update.

Along the way, Nick shares behind-the-scenes stories and background details about how these memorable appearances came together. It’s the first chapter in a series celebrating those rare SNL moments when the impersonated meet the impersonator, usually with hilarious results. [Ep 182]
