may be a good Freeman impersonator, but not as good as Mike O'Meara.

And as Eugene wrote...this is why Craig is the true king of late night.
Morgan Freeman was on Craig just a few days ago, so why not do a few takes after the show?

The only reason I presume it wasn't actually Freeman in Robot Chicken is that he isn't credited, and they're usually quite good about that. But you're right, it sounds EXACTLY like him.
Probably Josh Robert Thompson - who also imitates Schwarzenegger on the show.

I actually think the Morgan Freeman voiceover on Robot Chicken was actually Morgan Freeman; I know he had supplied his voice for another Robot Chicken episode before
You've been taken, TV Squad. It is a very good impersonator. There is no way that either Freeman or the news division at CBS would allow such remarks to be aired anywhere if they were authentic.
