In honor of Nasim Pedrad's appearance at SJU last Saturday night, here are her best characters and impressions from her five year reign on Saturday Night Live.
10. Raquel, the attention-seeking child
As a tyrant of a child, Raquel is a questionable case, considering her father (Alec Baldwin) is a child psychologist.
9. Kelly Ripa
Poignantly impersonating the talk show icon, Pedrad brilliantly displays all of Kelly Ripa's quirks.
Memorable quote: "One time, I shut my eyes for a second, and accidentally slept for a year and a half. So that's why I never blink."
8. Lil' Blaster
With the help of DJ Supersoaker, Lil' Blaster presents many twisted music festivals, such as Crunkmas.7. Tippy
Tippy displays every party guest's worst nightmare: She doesn't get the jokes, she interrupts, and she shows up in the middle of a conversation.
6. M.I.A.
Pedrad portrays all of the absurdities of the controversial Sri Lankan rapper perfectly.
5. Heshy
Who couldn't love Heshy, the world's worst motivational speaker?
4. Shallon
And then there's Shallon, the happy-go-lucky kid who seems to reject all of the virtues of society, and embrace the vices.
Memorable quote: “I finish my times tables, I get to unwind with a half hour of TV, and have a little bit of crack.”
3. Nicki Minaj
2. Arianna Huffington
One of her best impressions is Huffington Post editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington. Here, Nasim Pedrad perfects her Greek accent while overtly flirting with Seth Meyers.
1. Kim Kardashian
And last but not least, Kim Kardashian! Everything about this impression is perfect: from the appearance, to the nasally voice, to the accessory that is Kanye West.
