My Take

What strikes me most about Steve Bridges is how much craft hid behind the laughs. Anyone can attempt a presidential impression, but Bridges inhabited Clinton, Bush, and Obama with a precision that bordered on uncanny, then turned around and nailed Homer Simpson and Barney Fife too. That range tells me he was less a comic than a meticulous student of human mannerism. Losing him at 48 in 2012 cut short a singular voice. I have real admiration for satirists who poke at the powerful without malice, and Bridges did it with a warmth I genuinely respect.
