She does have a better brand recognition.

Honestly, I can't think of Barbara Walters without thinking it in Gilda Radner's Animalympics voice.

WOW, you must be really old.

Some impersonations truly upstage the original. My memory of Gerald Ford is that he looks just like Chevy Chase. My memory of Curt Cobain is that he looks just like Weird Al.
