Will Ferrell reprised his famous impression of former President George W. Bush at Samantha Bee’s “Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner” event on Saturday.

Ferrell appeared on stage smoking a cigarette to massive applause, asking the audience “How do you like me now?” in his best Texan accent.

“For the longest time I was considered the worst president of all time — that has changed. It only took 100 days,” the comedian said, portraying Bush.

Ferrell continued to mock President Trump, calling him a “snowflake” and a “weak man.”

Ferrell also poked fun at Bush’s newfound love for painting, bringing out an unfinished painting of Trump as the beginning of his “Portraits in Not Courage” series.

Ferrell’s impression of Bush was a highlight during his time as a cast member on “Saturday Night Live,” and he’s brought the impression back to the show several times in the years since he departed.
