Is there anything Leslie Jones can't do? The Saturday Night Live cast member delighted us with her Trump impression in 2017 and and now she's doing impressions of impressions to prepare for Will Ferrell's hosting gig.

While most SNL promos usually showcase the host, the latest is just Jones recreating some of Ferrell's iconic characters, including Craig Buchanon, Steve Butabi, and of course cowbell aficionado Gene Frankle. She even sneaks in another white male presidential impression since Ferrell embodied George W. Bush during his tenure as an SNL regular.

Will Ferrell will host SNL Jan. 28.
