All of Saturday Night Live's former presidents have gathered for a comedic summit in an epic new Web video produced by Funny Or Die.com.
In the video, the ghosts of presidents past urge a dreaming President Obama, played by Fred Armisen, to push for consumer protection and financial reform.
Will Ferrell reprises his President George W. Bush, Darrell Hammond plays President Bill Clinton, Dana Carvey returns as President George H.W. Bush, Dan Aykroyd plays President Jimmy Carter, and Chevy Chase - the pioneer of presidential parody on SNL -- returns as President Gerald Ford. Jim Carrey, who is not an SNL veteran, appears as Ronald Reagan, whom the late Phil Hartman typically impersonated.
The skit pokes fun at each president's idiosyncrasies and stereotypes, with digs at Obama's smoking, Clinton's womanizing, some father-and-son Bush-bashing, Reagan's age, Carter's malaise, and Ford's clumsiness.
The video, directed by Ron Howard, was produced by Funny Or Die in conjunction with Americans for Financial Reform to urge Congress to pass a strong, independent Consumer Financial Protection Agency.
Watch the Funny Or Die's Presidential Reunion, a behind the scenes look at the reunion shoot, plus an extended scene of Dana Carvey's dream sequence.
