Funny bit, and good impersonations except for Vance. Not fully even handed, but they did mock all on the Dem side
Elvis would have shot the TV.
Steve Harvey Trick Question
Runza!
Did I miss the episodes from3 years ago with Dana Carvey doing Biden or did they wait till it was cleared with the party to mock him?
Once again, Biden was the only funny part of the skit. Carvey > entire SNL writer’s room.
I dunno, the Walz guy was great too.
Carvey is head and shoulders funnier than anybody else in that skit. Nails Biden to the wall and simultaneously makes him likable. Has to be writing his own stuff. Gaffigan is a funny Walz and the woman playing Kamala is good. It wasn't funny but I like that they hit her on her inability to answer a question. I don't think she's pro-gun so they should have mocked her for that. Her answer should have been, "Water pistol that looks like a Glock."
The Republican characters are a lot weaker. Trying to give Trump dementia was a lame idea. They're just mailing it on the Republican side.
I doubt SNL will ever again have a “Dukakis After Dark” moment in a sketch where they predict the Democrat candidate will lose (“beaten, badly beaten”) because SNL deep down believes in the “conspiracy theory” about voter fraud.
The Harris and Biden characters were mildly amusing.
All the R's were lame- was I the only one who flashed Rodney Dangerfield when "Trump" first appeared on the screen?
A subliminal own goal with Emhoff being a cipher who tags along even though nobody wants to hear from him but Melania is off being independent.
They took more shots at the Democrats than Republicans, which I wasn't expecting. I think they know it is easier to mock the Dems.
Ever since Shane Gillis started doing Trump, every other Trump impersonator sucks bigly.
It's hard to hate on Maya Rudolph, but she plays Harris a lot smarter and more sober than she actually is. Also, the writers give her nothing to work with. If your "joke" is just a quirky version of something Harris would actually say, it won't be funny.
Bring Alec Baldwin back as Trump
Has it really come to that? He was never that good.
Is it really worth staying up that late for 2 or 3 actual jokes? Aren't there better things to stream? Jim Gaffigan is always funny, and he seems to have found a role for himself. In real life he's had to go so far into Trump hatred so that people didn't think he was a deplorable. Now he can let "Walz" to his talking for him. Walz and Gaffigan could almost be the same person, one gifted with intentional humor, the other with unintentional.
Poor writing as usual. Network TV has decided quality writing doesn't matter anymore. Carvey as good as ever. Trump impersonation OK.
