Barack Obama<\/a><\/strong>, is that you? Well, not quite.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on Tuesday’s The Ellen DeGeneres Show<\/em>, Keegan-Michael Key <\/strong>was asked to put his celebrity impersonations<\/a> to the test. Alas, host Ellen DeGeneres<\/a><\/strong> had a twist. Since the actor narrates Netflix’s new animation of Dr. Seuss<\/strong>‘ Green Eggs and Ham<\/em>, he was tasked with reading another of the author’s classic books<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Key & Peele<\/em> comedian<\/a> kicked things off by mimicking the former president’s voice as he read One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish<\/em>. Effortlessly, he channeled Obama, nailing his cadence and adding in long pauses for emphasis.<\/p>\n

“Say, what a lot of fish there are,” Key read. “Yeah, some are red. And some are blue. Some are old and some are new.”<\/p>\n

Throughout the segment, DeGeneres and Key couldn’t keep it together, especially when he had to an impression of Sofia Vergara<\/a><\/strong> reading Green Eggs and Ham<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“OK, Jay,” Key began, getting inspiration Vergara’s Modern Family<\/em> character Gloria. “I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam I Am!”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Check out the video above and see if you can keep a straight face during Key’s hilarious impressions.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
