Ana Gasteyer once caught Jimmy Carter 'laughing hysterically' at Dan Aykroyd's SNL impression of him

As a kid, Ana Gasteyer frequented the White House where she once caught President Jimmy Carter 'laughing hysterically' at Dan Aykroyd's 'SNL' impression of him.,

She was present at the Camp David Accords, she bopped in and out of the White House for sleepovers, and one time she even caught President Jimmy Carter cracking up with a beer in his hand while watching Dan Aykroyd's impression of him on the buzzy new variety show Saturday Night Live. "Sort of in the middle of the White House living area, President Jimmy Carter was sitting in a chair with a burgundy V-neck and a beer, and he was watching Dan Aykroyd play himself on Saturday Night Live, and he was laughing hysterically," Gasteyer said, noting that Carter "understood that it was funny" and that she realized "there was a power to that." I feel like we're gonna have a lot of places in this new era where news has proven itself to be untrustworthy and social media... maybe we idiotic performers will be able to tell the truth a little bit."
