American comedian James Austin Johnson, who joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 2021, has raised the bar for Bob Dylan impersonators after appearing on NBC to chat with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. SNL might have found its newest shining star after this.

Johnson, known for his spot-on impersonations of US President Joe Biden and former US President Donald Trump on SNL, took Fallon through a range of impersonations, starting with his spoken “radio voice” before singing the classic Christmas carol Jingle Bells in a number of different Dylan stages and ages. Fallon, who’s also a big Dylan fan and has impersonated the music icon was blown away by Johnson’s impression.
