As George W. Bush on ‘S.N.L.,’ Will Ferrell Wants to Remind You: ‘I Was Really Bad’<br />At this rate, I might even end up on Mount Rushmore, right next to Washington, Lincoln and I want to say, uh, Kensington?”<br />But before anyone started wishing for Mr. Bush to return to office, Mr. Ferrell said, “I just wanted to address my fellow Americans tonight<br />and remind you guys that I was really bad — like, historically not good.”<br />He added: “Don’t forget, we’re still in two different wars that I started.<br />The deal keeps the government operating through Feb. 8, Mr. Jost said, meaning Mr. Trump, Mr. Schumer<br />and his Republican counterpart, Senator Mitch McConnell, “have 12 days left to solve all of immigration.”<br />Mr. Jost continued, referencing legislation to protect young undocumented immigrants from deportation:<br />I’m not that confident.<br />“‘Shoe me twice, I’m keeping those shoes.’”<br />Reassuring viewers that he was “not a Trump synthesizer or anything,” Mr. Ferrell noted<br />that Presidents Bush and Trump had “a lot in common.” They are the same age, for example, and they both won presidential elections while losing the popular vote.<br />N.L.” alumnus and star of films like “Anchorman,” “Step Brothers” and “Talladega Nights,” immediately broke out his trademark impersonation of a bumbling, tongue-tied Bush 43, in an opening sketch<br />that satirically scrutinized the former president’s legacy while still taking a few shots at the current president, Donald J. Trump.
