Watch Dana Carvey’s Ross Perot character take Phil Hartman’s Admiral Stockdale for a joyride on SNL in 1992
. His nasal speaking voice and quirky personality made him a perfect target for the comedian and even though the actor already played President George H.W. Bush and there were 18 cast members that season, he was allowed to play him throughout the course of the 1992 campaign. This forced the show to use camera tricks and recorded segments anytime Perot and Bush appeared together during a live broadcast.
Stockdale was ripped to shreds for his performance by late-night comics and the media in the aftermath.had the funniest take with the sketch “Joyride with Perot,” where the candidate takes Stockdale on a car ride after the debate and lavishes him with praise before convincing him to leave the car to check out the scenery. He then drives away as fast as possible, but Stockdale is able to run as fast as the car and catch up.
