This "SNL" Tucker Carlson Impression Is So Accurate It’s Freaking People Out

Posted 3 hours ago

If you haven't heard by now, Harry Styles hosted Saturday Night Live this week — his second time as host and musical guest since 2019.

Between the hilarious return of Marcello Hernández's impression of comedian Sebastian Maniscalco, Harry kissing SNL cast member Ben Marshall, and the audience's reaction to a Timothée Chalamet dig, it was a solid night for the sketch show.

However, it was a new impersonation by featured player Jeremy Culhane during Weekend Update that's quickly going viral for his ridiculously spot-on portrayal of conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson.

Ahead of the 2026 Academy Awards, Culhane's Tucker joined Michael Che and Colin Jost to review this year's Oscar-nominated movies, mocking the political commentator's mannerisms and catchphrases. "Why don't we grab some popcorn and watch American culture collapse," he asked.

He went after this year's best picture nominees, including Ryan Coogler's critically acclaimed Sinners, which received a record-breaking 16 nominations. "Of course leftist woke America's favorite movie this year is about sinning," he quipped.

He then took a jab at the title of Chloé Zhao's Hamnet, saying, "Oh Hamnet, because we're not allowed to Hamlet anymore. They took the L and gave it to the GBTQ. So it's Hamnet now."

And he even had something ridiculous to say about Yorgos Lanthimos's Bugonia. Referencing Emma Stone's appearance in the film, he said, "I guess heterosexual women aren't allowed to have hair anymore."

Aside from poking fun at the Oscar nominees, Culhane nailed the Tucker catchphrases:

Culhane's segment is quickly going viral, with people praising his "uncanny" impression.

"Hamnet. Because we're not allowed to say Hamlet anymore. They took the L and gave it to the GBTQ. What are we doing? Hamnet, a movie about a boy who shows interest in theater and dies...I actually really… pic.twitter.com/s0U7hQLrD1

"That impression was uncanny. Kudos to Jeremy Culhane," one YouTuber wrote. Another said, "I think Jeremy just stamped his ticket to another season!"

"Studying Trucker Carlson to perfect that impression is the definition of suffering for your art and we are forever grateful," another person said. "I feel bad for Jeremy for having to study Tucker's mannerisms so closely," someone else added.

Another person commented, "Perfect impression. Holy..."

And finally, someone wrote, "Jeremy's Tucker Carlson impression is 1 of the most scarily accurate I've ever heard. Easily a Top 10 for SNL."
