Will Ferrell is set to take over the hosting duties for Saturday Night Live! this weekend. But before that, Leslie Jones is showing the famed comedian her best impersonations of his greatest characters in a promo that can be watched above.

In the clip, Jones hilariously becomes Ferrell's versions of George W. Bush, Alex Trebek, Harry Caray, his cheerleader opposite Cheri Oteri, and even the "Get off the shed!" guy. She also puts on a hot pink rayon suit to impersonate The Roxbury Guys (characters that later spun into the classic film A Night at the Roxbury.)

At the end, she pulls off Gene Frenkle, the fictional Blue Öyster Cult cowbell player, as she hip-thrusts and clangs the cowbell loudly in Ferrell's ears. In another clip, posted on Jones' Twitter, she bangs on the cowbell in the background as Ferrell holds cards to give the details of SNL's forthcoming show.

 

Ferrell joined the famous sketch show as a cast member in 1995, showing the world these characters until 2002. He's since come back to host this show three times, marking this his fourth time hosting SNL. He's also made five cameos on the show since leaving in 2002.

Ferrell will host the Jan. 27th episode, which is set to feature Chris Stapleton as musical guest.
