Ricky Gervais’ celebrity impressions have to be seen to be believed

"You see those things on YouTube of people doing 20 impressions in 20 seconds. I can do that. I can do it better than them."

Thus chastened, Fallon decided to test Gervais’ claims with a 30-second impressions challenge, which…well, you’d probably better just watch it.

Frankly, we can’t remember all these stars sounding quite so identically high-pitched and northern, but hey – we’re not impressionists. Congrats to Ricky on his new world record.
