Perhaps his west tn-mid tn is accurate. East tn is something unique. La is somewhat accurate... albeit you pretty much have to have a fair understanding of French to do it justice. I'm by no means a linguistic professional but a native of southern tongue, both partial African and caucasian. Its difficult to do right. I'll give the gentleman credit. Given he is certainly not from the region he does it fair justice within reason. Nonetheless it's all entertainment:) 👍👍
As a Southerner I'm just pleased when people recognize there isn't a single "southern accent." It varies widely based on location, age, education, and socio-economic status. It even varies within my own family.
As a native Tennessean, I've never in my life heard a non-native nail the Tennessean accent so well. Bravo. EDIT: Y'all need to realize the South is full of different accents, TN as well. He nailed A singular western Tennessean accent. He likely based it off of Elvis, whose accent was unique, as he lived in a few different places in western TN during his childhood. My family is from the same parts of TN and so this man mimicked the accent some of my family has. I only bothered to edit this comment 2 years later because I'm tired of people contacting me angrily about a comment I made which should never have evoked such vile and filth to be spewed at me and others.
@@thedenerad that is true. I'm from west Tennessee and anytime I've ever met some one from Knoxville or other Eastern cities it's a massive difference. Much thicker accents.
+Mateusz Czyz Yeah, Fred's really good (that's coming from a brit) but Jimmy is just doing the faux cockney accent that everyone does when trying to impersonate any British person.

There are big differences between New Orleans (Yat), SE Louisiana (even east and west north LA), SW Louisiana, North Louisiana and, to some degree, CenLa
Carson did the same in his last years, and that’s all these guys know. It’s the early years that made Carson’s reputation, tho, and what he riffed off of later. They need to watch Steve Allen, Jack Paar, and early Johnny, and not binge it either, maybe one per day. It would revolutionize late night shows again. Graham Norton is very close.

rpmiracle Yeah he’s always sucked man, Conan is the king of late night last guy with original shit
I agree, they deserve the love. I'm from France, and I love all the different regional accents from the Southern US. They're so diverse, and all so full of charm. I kind of wish I could pull them off myself. :)
+Kristy Webb No it's not only older generations. There are people around east TN that sound like this, below Knox, etc. lots of varied accents around there.
His Louisiana sounds like Georgia. His Arkansas is good. Tennessee is close but he’s gotta get more of those good diphthong vowels in there. Also in Tennessee we don’t think we thank
I’m from Louisiana and that was off but his Arkansas was spot on. It could go for Alabama too. I know people from Texas and Louisiana that sound that way.
I'm from Tennessee and I find this to be hilarious! I know a few people who speak like that. You can't say ALL Tennesseans talk like that, but some do. Great job!
I loved the episode where the couple was binge watching Netflix for days and then weeks. They lost their jobs, then the power finally got turned off....lol! The one with the history of the chicken they were about to eat in the restaurant was good too.
He does this whole routine in his newest Netflix special. It's pretty darn good! I love how he associates actions or personalities with each accent. Here, Louisiana is off. It seems more Georgian because he's dropping his r's but not doing some of the other Southern Louisiana stuff, like th>d, ing>-in', and long o>aw. That last feature is always the thing that makes me think for a split second that I might be dealing with a New Yorker. Or instead you could go with the sound that Louisiana shares with East Texas, where you say, "I'm comin'. I'm OWN my way." And "We got to put some OLL in the car." Or the Cajun French accent, which is its own thing.
thagrammarnazi well they're from North Carolina, which isn't too far off. As a Tennessean though, he was pretty much spot on for any East Tennessee city. Especially Knoxville area.
If you want to do Georgia just bang your head on the desk 10 times as hard as you can, then relax your entire body and slouch in a chair, turn off your mind, and then just make noises.
Its not about the ear. You can read up on this. Linguist pick apart stuff all the time. There are terms for things that describe accents like non-rhotic, which explains the lack of an R. Brits only pronounce the R if there is a vowel after it. Not at the end.
Notice how Fred KEPT prompting him to ask him for a city, to show off how he could even nail a part of a state. He clearly had a stellar city accent ready to show off. But Fallon pays no attention.
Cult Boy absolutely there is. I’m from Baton Rouge. Not much of an accent for those of us from the city but you go 10 miles in any direction and that starts to change. There’s probably at least 5 or 6 distinct accents in Louisiana alone. Then you can travel to Georgia and get something completely different.
Yes! There are so many Southern accents in the Appalachians that I once pin pointed somebody I met in Washington DC all the way down to my county in rural NC just based off of the accent. I was right and he lived 5 minutes from me!
@@billbrasky1288 Georgia's got three different drawls, the further South you go towards Florida the more twangy it is, the more North you go towards South Carolina it goes smoother, the Western part around Columbus is more rounded like Louisiana because of the heavy creole settlement
Everyone from Louisiana I’ve met are mush mouthed Texans we got 4 different sounding accents and Arkansas a mixture of an East Texan and an Oklahoman 😂
Omg this guy deserves way more fame than he has! Fred Armisen has always been my favorite comedian. The Tennessee accent was spot on. It was like I was listening to this friend I have!
The best southern accent ever: Christopher Guest in Best in Show. He nailed the North Georgia/SC border. I didn’t know who he was the first time I saw the movie and thought, “Wow, they got a real JoJa boy to play that part!”
That scene with him speaking directly into the camera talking about his hound. At one point he is completely incomprehensible and utterly smooth at the same time.
ღ ღ na they got Cajuns all over New Orleans area. Besides I was saying he should of done a Cajun or chalmette accent, since they are both similar and southern Louisiana.
New Orleans is like a weird mix of a NY accent and a southern accent. Atlanta is full of Fake West coast and Mid western non accents, because people from Atlanta dont actually want to be from Atlanta.
DoggosarenotPuppers Well, the Midwestern accent is typically considered to be the General American accent. West coasters do have a accents. Think valley girls - just not as pronounced. As an east coaster, they definitely sound different to me.
His Louisiana sounded like Jimmy Carter from Georgia. And there is no “Louisiana accent”. New Orleans is different from Lafayette which is different from Shreveport, etc.
This made me chuckle. My parents were both raised in the south, and I’m here to tell you I have relatives in every southern state. I’m in Ohio and at my job I was the translator for every southern company we dealt with and could tell what state they were in by their accent.
it me like five minutes of playing that back to figure out who he sounded like!! haha i was like "i know that voice!" it brought be back to when he was in Bandits with Bruce Willis lol
Emanuel Dixson being from Knoxville, I would like to know what you think the accent sounds like. IMO there's two, the mountain sounding people (South and parts of North Knoxville) and the West Knoxville people (who sound sort of like Virginia) oh and Michigan cause they are from there. Blacks from East Knoxville sound distinct as it's "lazy" dropping word constant's. I have been told all my life "you don't have a accent." I moved to Texas, met a guy from Arkansas and 5 minutes later, he looks at me and says "you're from East Tennessee, probably near North Carolina." I was pretty amazed as my wife is from Asheville.
Callie Tippen not even Southern LA. Don’t even sound Cajun at all. Sounds like he just changed up forest gumps accent and said it’s LA. And Arkansas was wrong too lol. I have family all over Arkansas and Louisiana and nobody sounds like those accents he did.
@@travisosborne1367 Agreed. Southern LA (South of I-10) is almost impossible to understand. I have to bring a pen and paper when I go see my family down there so they can write down what they are saying HAHAHA
Honestly, if you can just use as little syllables as possible while speaking 99 mph, you’ll nail it. The general litmus test for me is how you pronounce Shreveport and Monroe. There are subtle ways we draw at syllables that don’t need to be and leave out things like R’s and the G on the end of -ing
+Rumors ™ also from west Monroe and I've lived in both north and south la. NOBODY in Louisiana sounds like that. Lmao. Although his Arkansas was spot on
As a Southerner, not bad! You nailed Tennessee. South Carolina is similar in the Upstate but completely different on the Coast. Arkansas is really good. Louisiana, he has a part of the state nailed. I'd love to hear the Cajon Creole accent.
I'm from NC also, and you can tell a big difference from the mountains, the Piedmont, and the coast. I'm from the Piedmont and when I moved down east I was surprised how different they say some stuff here.
People think he's joking but he's obsessed with accents

I'm obsessed too... And English is not even my first language LOL

My grandparents are from southern Arkansas and when he started doing that accent I lost it- too accurate 😂😂
Jimmy is always competing with his guests rather than letting them shine. It's bad for the show.
He should be made to watch Johnny Carson repeatedly for a month...than hopefully he'll learn something about hosting a show.

+Mike Sky as a Tennessean my whole life I really disagree.

How did he get Arkansas so right? that's a very Fayetteville/Rogers accent.

Yeah I would agree that is more of a hillbilly accent. I live in Little Rock and everyone here just sounds like a yankee LOL

it me like five minutes of playing that back to figure out who he sounded like!! haha i was like "i know that voice!" it brought be back to when he was in Bandits with Bruce Willis lol
I wanna see him do Creole and Cajun from Louisiana and Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville from Tennesse.
Emanuel Dixson being from Knoxville, I would like to know what you think the accent sounds like. IMO there's two, the mountain sounding people (South and parts of North Knoxville) and the West Knoxville people (who sound sort of like Virginia) oh and Michigan cause they are from there.
Blacks from East Knoxville sound distinct as it's "lazy" dropping word constant's.
I have been told all my life "you don't have a accent." I moved to Texas, met a guy from Arkansas and 5 minutes later, he looks at me and says "you're from East Tennessee, probably near North Carolina." I was pretty amazed as my wife is from Asheville.
i think he’s doing southern louisiana cause in north louisiana we sound like we’re using the least amount of effort to pronounce words
Callie Tippen not even Southern LA. Don’t even sound Cajun at all. Sounds like he just changed up forest gumps accent and said it’s LA. And Arkansas was wrong too lol. I have family all over Arkansas and Louisiana and nobody sounds like those accents he did.
No. Southern has more French to it.
@@travisosborne1367 Agreed. Southern LA (South of I-10) is almost impossible to understand. I have to bring a pen and paper when I go see my family down there so they can write down what they are saying HAHAHA
That's a good way to put it. I'm from Shreveport.
Honestly, if you can just use as little syllables as possible while speaking 99 mph, you’ll nail it. The general litmus test for me is how you pronounce Shreveport and Monroe. There are subtle ways we draw at syllables that don’t need to be and leave out things like R’s and the G on the end of -ing
the first two accents he did reminded me of Rhett and Link lol
ive lived in Louisiana for 19 years and i dont know any who fuckin sounds like that lol
+Rumors ™ I think he went outside of New Orleans for that one.
+Mike L i know he did. i live in West monroe
+Rumors ™ also from west Monroe and I've lived in both north and south la. NOBODY in Louisiana sounds like that. Lmao. Although his Arkansas was spot on
+BabyfaceBrewster tru. thats crazy how you live close by.

He's so talented in everything he does.
BUT WHAT ABOUT GEORGE HARRISON.
"Ooohhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
DanielaChamorro I can do it: I'm spiritual. Ow Me cancer.
DanielaChamorro BRACKETS
His is probably the hardest to do if the 4
DanielaChamorro THANK YOU!
Here's a thought. How about Jimmy keeps quite and let Fred...you know, the actual guest do the accents 🤔
His Louisiana accent was crap. The Tennessee was spot on.
Idk
Not Tennessee neither
His Louisiana accent sounded like a crap Southern Virginia accent lol
It totally sucked
I disagree with the Lousiana. Sounds more,like old Virginia.
I was going to say more like Savannah, GA to my NC ears.
That definitely isn’t an old Virginia accent
Art Vandelay it’s southern Louisiana
That Arkansas accent is also the accent of northern Louisiana and far northeastern Texas.
My grandfather from Tennessee. AND...he speaks very thoughtfully. This finally puts it together.
As a Southerner, not bad! You nailed Tennessee. South Carolina is similar in the Upstate but completely different on the Coast. Arkansas is really good. Louisiana, he has a part of the state nailed. I'd love to hear the Cajon Creole accent.
him and bill have to be on a show together😭❤️
We have probably a dozen different accents just here in North Carolina. Every state has variations.
I love my southern accent.
I'm from NC also, and you can tell a big difference from the mountains, the Piedmont, and the coast. I'm from the Piedmont and when I moved down east I was surprised how different they say some stuff here.
@@Mick_Ts_Chick Guilford County for me since 1977. Not home but is more like home than anywhere else.
@@angelbulldog4934 I was raised in Forsyth Co, and lived in Davidson Co for 4 years after I graduated from NC State.
Never been to, but Louisiana hands down best southern accent.
I could watch Fred Armisen do accents all day.
What i like best about Fred Armisen's comedy is he makes it look so easy. He comes across like a comedy servant.
Bro Arkansas literally was nailed😂😂😂I’ve never heard anyone do that before
His "Louisiana" sounds like old Georgia...
Cause it’s certainly not Louisiana
yup. I'm from Texas and Never heard THAT before...Lol
pantslizard even I thought that and I'm Yankee af
South Georgia *maybe*
But not today. I'm from north Georgia, I would've liked to see him do ours.
Anyway...He's fuckin up the non-rhotic thing bad.
Central Goergia lol, especially around the Muacogee area lol
He nailed it. Love his TN accent. That's so true about they are thinking.
😂🤣 Being from Arkansas I can say his accent was pretty spot on lol
