Jimmy Fallon's Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden impressions are hilariously on point

Being able to do a passable impression of a political candidate must be pretty high on the job spec for any late night host — but when it comes to the details, their styles vary hugely. While Stephen Colbert likes to keep things simple, for instance, Jimmy Fallon really commits 100 percent to the bit.

In the video above, he dresses up as both Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden for some Super Tuesday speech parodies — and while his Biden accent perhaps needs a little fine-tuning, his Sanders' impersonation really is unnervingly good.

Points too for whoever did his hair and makeup, which is pretty much spot-on all round.
