James Austin Johnson is a comedian originally from Nashville and a featured player on Saturday Night Live. The New York Times has called him “one of SNL’s most versatile celebrity impressionists” and Entertainment Weekly, said "he is one of the most exciting new cast members in years, a cross between Dana Carvey and Darrell Hammond. He's that kind of talent." His spot-on impression of Trump paired with his improvisational ramblings about Weird Al, Julia Louis Dreyfus, and Scooby Doo have garnered over 5 million views, with profiles on James in Vanity Fair, Slate, Mashable and VICE to name a few. As an actor, James' TV/Film credits include Better Call Saul, Baskets, Robbie, and the Coen Brothers’ feature Hail, Caesar!  As a stand up, James has performed on the Vice series Flophouse, as well as Riot LA and as a New Face at the prestigious Just For Laughs festival.
