I think Chris Parnell would do a great job!

(38,000 posts)He's the right age, the right height, and he would be swell.
Or former cast member and husband of Julia Louie-Dreyfus, Brad Hall:

Other great answers already posted:
- Chris Cooper
- Steve Carell
- Will Farrell
- Kevin Nealon
- Dan Aykroid
(BTW, it wouldn't have to be a cast member of SNL - it could be a "guest host"
Jim Carrey would be great - he can play anyone, (except I think he has a beard now)
How about Patton Oswalt?..(His face looks a lot like Comey's)
How about Leonardo DiCaprio? (He now looks a lot like Comey)
How about Johnny Depp?

(16,829 posts)He doesn't do anything extreme and the public doesn't know his mannerisms.

(27,797 posts)Who cares about "mannerisms"?
tRump firing Comey is NEWS!
And SNL is a COMEDY show that makes fun of tRump "news"
If Comey isn't worth imitating - then who is?

(27,797 posts)..having a sense of humor is more important than ever, imo.
In fact, these days, threads like this one help me keep from just wanting to cry.
(I think we've all been more or less "in the crying zone" since November 8th of last year)

(27,797 posts)Alec Baldwin does resemble Comey, so he would probably be able to pull it off.
(Patton Oswalt has Comey's face..but he's heavier than Comey)

(5,810 posts)and someone else. Comey is much taller than either man. Head and shoulders taller.

(27,797 posts)Perhaps Alec Baldwin could wear platform shoes to increase his height?
