The contestants are then introduced and each is given the opportunity to showcase their best impression in front of the judges.

The first contestant is a middle-aged woman from Alabama who specializes in impressions of southern accents. She performs an impression of Dolly Parton, which garners some laughs from the judges, particularly Kevin Nealon.

As the episode progresses, the contestants are given challenges to determine who will ultimately move on to the final round of the competition.
