About

Actor/comedian Darrell Hammond fondly recalls his first taste of show business at age five practicing the impressions of his family members on the porch of their home in Melbourne Florida. It wasn't many years later when Darrell realized he wanted to submerse himself in the pursuit of bringing his comedy and impressions to a much bigger stage. In his many years on "Saturday Night Live", Hammond brought to life a cavalcade of politicians, media figures, celebrities and news.  Darrell is known for being one of the most prolific comedians of his time.  He frequently tours comedy clubs and theaters boasting a number of brilliant impressions in his act that keep people laughing nationwide.
 
Each and every one of his impressions have been applauded by television critics and viewers alike, for their accuracy and range.  In fact, Darrell's impression of Al Gore was so powerful that it was said the former Vice President studied Darrell's gestures in preparation for the Presidential debates.  Amongst the great number of other people he has mimicked include; Bill Clinton, Sean Connery, Regis Philbin, Dan Rather, John Travolta, Jesse Jackson, Richard Dreyfus, Jay Leno and Ted Koppel.
 
In addition to appearing in sketches, Hammond has been seen in a number of feature films and television shows. Most recently, he has appeared in a 7 episode arc on the acclaimed F/X series, "Damages".  Other credits include appearances on the "Law and Order" franchise.
 
Although it has been a dream come true for Darrell to have been a regular on "Saturday Night Live", the next phase of things to come will be just as exciting.
 
Hammond is a proud resident of the Hell's Kitchen area of Manhattan.

    Darrell Hammond was just ok

    by papa2fox8 on 10/3/11University At Buffalo Center for the Arts - Buffalo

    Hammond was battling a runny nose and a cough all night and seemed to have little prepared for the show. He also slurred his words frequently and reminded me of a guy that has lead a sometimes difficult life, which I confirmed after doing a little homework. He was willing to go in any direction the audience wanted him to go. However, the audience was made up of a lot of college students who were still conceivably only in middle school during the height of Hammond's popularity. The venue was nice but half full at best. Having said all that, he's a good story-teller and performed for about an hour and 20 minutes. His dated political references were funny and impressions were great, but possibly lost on the younger audience members. It really wasn't worth the $50 per seat in the end.
