(206,072 posts)And this one was obviously quite popular - so I wanted to post it on this thread for anyone who might have missed it.

I think the folks in makeup could use a little more shadow to make Bennett's eyes look deeper set when he plays Pence, maybe obscure his eyebrows a little more, too. Now that his hair has gone white, Pence's head looks like a skull, like a Marvel villain.

(206,072 posts)Though you do make an excellent point! When I watch these things - including the late night comedians - I often wonder if the subjects of the impersonations - or the butt of the jokes - are watching!
And I haven't yet seen anyone who can do a recognizable Pence - usually it's just the white hair - but then Pence has got to be the toughest to do, there's not much there to impersonate.

There's never been anything shocking about archetypal Southern gents -- seersucker and bowtie, etc -- who come out of the closet.
