Angela Bassett finds Keke Palmer’s impression of her quite ‘awesome’

Los Angeles, March 16 (IANS) Actress Angela Bassett is a sport when it comes to poking a little fun at herself.

The actress appeared on the latest episode of ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ and reacted to a video of Keke Palmer doing her best impression of Bassett during a November 2021 appearance on the late-night show.

The show host Jimmy Fallon introduced a throwback clip, and said, “You know who loves you? Our pal Keke Palmer. We love Keke. She came on our show and she did an impression of you,” reports ‘People’ magazine.

The video showed Palmer, 30, impersonating Bassett’s portrayal of Katherine Jackson in the 1992 miniseries ‘The Jacksons: An American Dream’.

“I do one where, I don’t know if you guys have seen it. It’s the American Dream. The Michael Jackson story where she plays Katherine Jackson”, Palmer said in the video.

“And it’s the moment where she finds out Joe (Jackson) cheated on her, and he comes in (and she says) ‘You a liar, and you a cheat, and I don’t want you. I don’t want you, I don’t want you’.”

As per ‘People’, Bassett was shown in the lower right corner of the screen laughing as the clip of Palmer played. After it ended, Fallon, 49, asked, “Is that great?”.

“That’s awesome. The little tremor,” Bassett replied.
