LOS ANGELES, March 4 (UPI) -- Actors who played U.S. presidents on TV's "Saturday Night Live" appear together in a new online comedy clip intended to spotlight the need for financial reform.
The video was posted on the Funny or Die Web site Wednesday.
The site's proprietors said it was created in association with Americans for Financial Reform -- a coalition of more than 200 national, state and local consumer, labor, investor, civil rights, community, small business and senior citizen organizations -- to urge Congress "to act now on financial reform and to make sure the cornerstone or real reform, a strong and independent consumer agency, is included in any final bill."
Directed by Ron Howard and written by Adam McKay and Al Jean, the video was shot in Van Nuys, Calif. Sunday. The comic clip brings together the actors who portrayed presidents on "Saturday Night Live," including Will Ferrell as George W. Bush, Fred Armisen as Barack Obama, Darrell Hammond as Bill Clinton, Chevy Chase as Gerald Ford, Dan Aykroyd as Jimmy Carter and Dana Carvey as George H. W. Bush. Jim Carrey rounds out the cast with his portrayal of Ronald Reagan and "SNL" alum Maya Rudolph is featured as current first lady Michelle Obama.
