It's wrong, but I can't say why.
Very slight off vocal inflections that you subconsciously know aren't him because you've seen the real him act in so many movies.
Plus, you knew it was a fake when you clicked it. If you hadn't then chances are it would seem like a regular ad you're trying to skip.
It was the speed of delivery, the tempo.
When he was younger he rushed through his jokes but landed on the punchlines, as he got older he paused everywhere for emphasis because he knows he's funny and can sell it.
This voice was a mix with those characteristics canceled out so it sounds a bit less performed.

I love this idea. Unfortunately, I think it's just a slightly unnatural vocal performance. Even though AI can perfectly replicate voices tonally, they can't truly generate the same cadence and inflections, or sometimes even get close without a good deal of human assistance. I suspect this will change over time. As with ChatGPT, we'll be looking to AI to solve the problem of AI mimicking humans too well.
One thing is the pace is very, very consistent. Real humans don't usually maintain that level of consistency, they'll speed up, slow down, some words come out fast, some come out slow, etc.
