Steven Scott was so much fun on the last episode of TFP, that we brought him back for a second episode. Steven and Dean bounce various impressions off of each other (Trump mistaking Denzel for Samuel L. Jackson) and walk you through the anatomy of good impressions vs. 'hacky' impressions before explaining how to approach presenting them for a sketch tv show audition.
