![Shane Gillis]()
President Donald Trump dropped in for the uberly popular
Kill Tony comedy show in Austin, Texas last night.
Well... someone that looks and sounds an awful lot like Trump. You might know him as the hilarious Shane Gillis, who dressed up as the former president - spray tan and all. He's one of the best Donald Trump impersonators on the planet, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the longest Gillis has ever stayed in character.
And it was incredible.
If you've never seen the
Kill Tony program, a panel of comedians and funny people - including Tony Hinchcliffe (who absolutely
killed at the Tom Brady Roast) - watch stand up comedians do their set and then give them instant feedback. And sometimes it's
brutally honest.
In this special show, which was titled "Top Secret," half of the panel was presidential, to say the least. Adam Ray did a respectable Joe Biden impersonation, and Shane Gillis showcased his phenomenal Trump impression for over two hours.
Seeing "Joe Biden" and "Donald Trump" jab at each other throughout the night, as well as judge other stand-up comedians on their so-so material, is spectacularly entertaining. I'd venture to say that a lot of people would love having Gillis and Ray do their presidential impersonations together on a more regular basis.
Here's a taste of what went on during the two-hour show:

Shane Gillis' entrance as Donald Trump was ELECTRIC.
If you have two hours to kill (and who doesn't?), I encourage you to throw this one on. There's not a dull moment, especially in the moments when "Trump" and "Biden" go back and forth. Somehow, Shane Gillis does Donald Trump better than
Trump does Trump.
Hopefully we get a parody debate between these two impressionists sometime soon, but if we don't, at least we have
this to watch over and over again:
