A comedian's vape-toting,fratty impersonation of liberal California Governor Gavin Newsom exaggerating the lefty's eccentricities has made a viral mark.
Josh Meyers,48,has been on TV and in movies for decades,including several seasons on MADtv and Date Movie.
He's also the brother of 'Late Night' host Seth Meyers,but it's on a different talk show where he's made the Newsom character - which he calls a mix of a frat boy and Jeff Spicoli from 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' - a favorite.
Meyers has been doing the impression for over a decade,including on a mock talk show called 'The Gavin Newsom Show' that aired on the Al Gore-owned Current TV. He's even performed the impression on his brother's NBC show.
However,it's on lefty darling Jimmy Kimmel's show where the impression has caught the notice of viewers and even the governor himself.
Kimmel has also had Meyers parody the governor's infamous Fox News debate with Ron DeSantis,performing a fake battle with MyPillow impresario Mike Lindell
'Thousands of Californians have been poisoned by fentanyl flowing across the border-now that we’re 5 months from an election,@GavinNewsom finally decides to act,' he wrote.
'How many lives would have been saved if he’d done this years ago instead of waiting till it’s politically convenient?'
His post was retweeted by other Republican assembly members. California Republicans accused the state Democratic leader and close President Biden ally of 'dragging his feet on adding state resources.'
