What if one day you looked in the mirror and saw the most powerful man in the world staring back at you?... Mr. [Price] is a walking, talking image of Barack Obama. When people encounter him, they see the version of Mr. Obama they want to see. And when Mr. [Price] looks in the mirror, so does he.

One night while sitting in a club, the bartender said to [Price], "Do you know who you look like if you would shave off your mustache? Obama! You look exactly like the President."

[Price] went back to his cramped, dilapidated apartment and looked in the mirror. He shaved off his mustache and gasped at his image. He did look like the President! Staring down at his stained, ragged clothes he suddenly felt a sense of hope. He went to the closet and put on his nicest clothes. The stares of people on the street when he emerged from his apartment told him that he had a new job opportunity on his hands.

Millions of Americans on both sides of the aisle are hanging their hopes on the outcome of the November presidential election, but few have as much riding on Mitt Romney's victory as Mike Cote, of Ogunquit, [who] has been blessed with facial features that closely resemble those of the Republican presidential hopeful, especially when enhanced with makeup and a dab of white dye on his sideburns.

After appearing in the President Gaga musical parody released only days ago by Youtube's famous The Hillywood Show, Barack Obama impersonator Maxwell Price appears in the behind the scenes documentary about the making of the video alongside the show's stars, Hilly and Hannah Hindi. From The Hillywood Show: "Little Monsters! It's time for you to go on set of PRESIDENT GAGA by The Hillywood Show®! Filmed in 8 days, see how Hilly and Hannah Hindi created this wild, presidential parody! This feature includes over 20 minutes of behind the scenes footage, bloopers, studio recordings, dance rehearsals, and more! "

Millions of Americans watched the first presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, but perhaps none with the intensity of Jim Gossett and Maxwell Price.

The two men just happen to make their living impersonating the two candidates and a win on either side could mean four years of an income estimated to be higher than the $450,000 salary Obama makes being the leader of the free world.

Americans who despair of ever seeing a civilized presidential campaign really should have witnessed Barack Obama help Mitt Romney iron his crumpled suit in a Manhattan hotel room last week. Well, if only they'd been the real president and his Republican challenger. Maxwell Price and Mike Cote probably look more like Obama and Romney than anyone in the world, other than Obama and Romney themselves of course.

Following his appearance alongside Pauly Shore and Politicos Comedy Brigade's own Sarah Palin impersonator Patti Lyons at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. on June 30th for the filming of the Showtime special Pauly-tics, Barack Obama impersonator Maxwell Price has been selected to appear in the iTunes artwork for the Pauly-tics album. The artwork is pictured above.

Barack Obama impersonator Maxwell Price and Mitt Romney impersonator Mike Cote appeared on FOX News Stossel alongside anchor John Stossel for a discussion about the role of third parties in the electoral process. Stossel, Price, and Cote were joined by Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate Governor Gary Johnson, Constitution Party Presidential Candidate Virgil Goode, and Socialist Party USA Presidential Candidate Stewart Alexander.

We are extremely excited and honored to announce that we are gearing up to launch our first touring show: Ronald Reagan, Morning In America. We have been working with Broadway make-up artist Adam Bailey for the past two months, and are almost ready for our first screen test. Here's a quick sneak peek inside the Adam Bailey FX Studios located in Brooklyn, New York.

The art director on our Romney-vs.-Obama boxing-match photo shoot explains how it came together.

The brief
Every four years James Fallows previews the presidential debates. He's a big deal, it's a big deal. Four years ago the solution was to montage news shots of Obama and McCain on to a dramatic black background. It made, sense, looked good, a quick read—a successful cover. Let's do something like that.

The idea
How do we do a version that's relevant to this year? What's unique? It's going to be dirty. (Isn't it always?) So let's show them fighting. You know, really fighting. Illustration or photomontage? Remembered a shoot five or six years from New York magazine, where I then worked. British artist / photographer / provocateur Alison Jackson photographed lookalikes of Brad and Angelina with newborn baby.  (Back then, Adam Moss, New York's editor, had wanted to get the first baby shots, scooping People, Hello, and US Weekly. Trouble was the baby hadn't been born and we didn't want to pay $6 million for first rights—not that it would be offered. Funny.) So that's our idea: a fight with lookalikes of Mitt and Barack going at it in a boxing ring.
