SNL presidents reunion "Funny or die" video has gone viral only 1 day after being uploaded online. The video brings back some of your favorite current and former Saturday Night Live stars doing their Presidential impressions. Fred Armisen as Barack Obama, Maya Rudolph as Michelle Obama, Will Ferrell as George W. Bush, Darrell Hammond as Bill Clinton, Dana Carvey as George H. W. Bush, Dan Aykroyd as Jimmy Carter, and Chevy Chase as the Gerald Ford.
Jim Carrey joins the SNL cast to play Ronald Reagan. Many will remember the role of Ronald Reagan on SNL was originally played by Phil Hartman. Hartman was killed in 1998 by his wife in a murder-suicide.
The video was directed by Ron Howard and funnyordie.com's Jake Szymanski.
The funny video was created in association with Americans for Financial Reform, which bills itself as "a coalition of more than 200 national, state and local consumer, labor, investor, civil rights, community, small business and senior citizen organizations, to urge Congress to act now on Financial Reform and to make sure the cornerstone or real reform, a strong and independent consumer agency, is included in any final bill."
The video gets an important message across in a very humorous way.
In the video, Reagan says "I've come back from the dead to tell Mr. Reach-Across-The-Aisle here to grow a pair,".
Obama says "What you're saying is, I should take on this mess that you all created? Take on the banks and their trillions of dollars?" "How's this helpful?"
