After Jimmy Fallon’s Neil Young impression earned him a duet with Bruce Sprinsgteen, it seemed there was nowhere else for him to go with it. Instead of rehashing the Young, then, Fallon debuted a new impression for his latest novelty cover: Bob Dylan. Filmed in the grainy black-and-white style of Dylan doc Don’t Look Back, the clip shows Fallon can keep a straight face on an impression far better than he ever did on Saturday Night Live.

The song choice this time: the theme song from Charles in Charge. His delivery of the chorus in particular will have you rolling on the floor. Might as well start speculating now – when will the real Bob Dylan join him? And what song will they cover?
