And I thought it was funny when Jimmy Kimmel did his entire show as Jay Leno.

On last night’s Daily Show broadcast, Jon Stewart devoted nearly 15 minutes of his own program to mocking possibly the second easiest target on television: FOX News’ Glenn Beck.

Be forewarned: the impersonation is so good…you might just start tearing up.

And here I thought Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel were friends.

Many viewers were probably a bit confused last night when they stayed up late to watch Jimmy Kimmel Live right after Nightline. Did they accidentally switch channels to NBC? Did their clocks go back an hour? No - that wasn’t Jay Leno they were seeing. That was actually Kimmel fronting his own show - the entire show - while dressed as his competitor.

“Hello, hello, my name is Jay Leno...and let it hereby be known that I’m taking over all the shows in late night, beginning with this one,” the faux NBC host explained.

Obama and Biden React to SNL Impersonations

So we already know how the McCain camp feels about Saturday Night Live‘s Palin sketches. (Answer: “Sexist.”) We also know what the vice-presidential candidate thought about Tina Fey’s work. (She claimed the first parody was “hilarious,” though she only watched it with the volume off.) But what do the Democrats think of their impersonations?

In a joint interview with Entertainment Tonight, Barack Obama and Joe Biden (alongside their wives) react to the SNL sketches. While they don’t specifically address the content of the spoofs, they do seem to take it all in stride.

Tina Fey Talks About Returning as Palin

Although Tina Fey is not exactly in need of a job, it looks as if the multiple Emmy-winner will finish the task she really hates doing: playing Sarah Palin.

Even though it was hard denying the similarity in their looks (even Fey’s daughter called the VP candidate “Mommy”), Tina said she was dead set against taking on the role for her old stomping grounds. Fortunately for us, a persistent Lorne Michaels (SNL‘s producer) won out on in the end.

“I was fighting them all week on it. I kept saying, ‘I don’t want to do it, I’m not an impressionist.’ I kept telling Lorne, ‘No! I’ll show up ... I’ll do anything except play her. I can’t do it.’ Then, I was worn down. Lorne wore me down by the end of the week,” Fey said to Access Hollywood.
