Darrell Clayton Hammond (born October 8, 1955) is an American actor, comedian, announcer, and impressionist. Hammond was a regular cast member on the NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live from 1995 to 2009 and has been its announcer since 2014.

Upon his departure from the cast in 2009, Hammond, at age 53, was the oldest cast member in the show's history and used to hold the record as SNL's longest-serving cast member, until he was surpassed by Kenan Thompson in 2017. However, he did make several cameo guest appearances the following season. Hammond had 14 seasons, while Kenan is in his 21st season. He returned to SNL as announcer for season 40, replacing longtime announcer Don Pardo, who died over the summer.

Ever since, Darrell appeared on the show consistently, and did many memorable impressions of public figures as Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Donald Trump, and Sean Connery. (For a full list of his impressions, see below.)
