James Austin Johnson

James Austin Johnson is a standout cast member on Saturday Night Live, widely hailed by The New York Times as one of the show’s most versatile and precise impressionists. Originally from Nashville, Johnson catapulted to national fame with his viral, pitch-perfect portrayal of Donald Trump, eventually becoming the definitive voice for both Trump and Joe Biden on the legendary sketch series. His impressive range extends far beyond Studio 8H, with notable screen credits in Better Call Saul, Barry, and voicing "Pouchy" in Disney’s Inside Out 2. On stage, Johnson is a master of "character-driven jazz," blending razor-sharp satire with high-energy improvisational storytelling. His live sets, including his acclaimed tour The Age of JAJ, showcase a dizzying array of mimicry—from Bob Dylan to Elvis Costello—woven into hilarious, often surreal autobiographical narratives.
