I sort of have to agree with Santos, or whatever his name is. That bit with Jon Lovitz on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon was disappointing. Lovitz seemed like the perfect guy to do it, but unfortunately, the Tonight Show writers just aren't very good.

George Santos has been having quite the year so far as the embattled congressman’s credentials have come into question. Late-night television has impersonated him and the U.S. representative is not impressed by any of them.

“I have now been enshrined in late-night TV history with all these impersonations, but they are all TERRIBLE so far,” he tweeted. “Jon Lovitz is supposed to be one of the greatest comedians of all time and that was embarrassing— for him not me! These comedians need to step their game up.”

Santos was referring to Lovitz’s impersonation of him on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon from January 20th.

Lovitz did have a winning retort though.
