"Every late night host has to figure out their President Voice," says Bethy Squires of The Tonight Show host's Biden impression. "Are you gonna do an impression? And if so, when will you pull it out? Seth Meyers does impressions sparingly, and off the cuff. He seems to not put a ton of thought into them, coasting on vibes. James Corden gets the gist of a person across, but doesn’t really go for an American accent. Trevor Noah, on the other hand, lays on the rhoticity like there’s a sale on the letter 'R.' But Jimmy Fallon, as a guy who got his start in comedy doing impressions, brings a rasp to his Joe Biden that is sorely missing in other performances. Nobody can sound desperately in need of a lozenge like Fallon’s Biden, and The Tonight Show is using that to great effect."
