Ever since Donald Trump took office in January, nostalgia for former President George W. Bush has been at an all-time high — and apparently the same goes for “Dubya” impersonators.
Comedian Will Ferrell revived his famous Bush impression to a standing ovation at Samantha Bee’s Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner over the weekend, where he began a roast of Trump with a few drags of a cigarette and a “How do you like me now, huh?”

When asked a few questions about Beyonce, Bush had no idea that the singer was married to Jay Z or that she was pregnant with twins.
He did, however, love Kimmel's monologue at the 89th Academy Awards, and was aware of the major flub at the end of the awards show, when La La Land was announced as Best Picture when Moonlight actually won. "I felt sorry for you," Bush told Kimmel. "You were like, 'PricewaterhouseCoopers did it!'"
