As a cinephile with a penchant for political satire and a deep appreciation for the artistry that is Saturday Night Live, I must say, the Oct 5 episode was a delightful treat. The Vice Presidential debate cold open was particularly noteworthy, with Heidi Gardner’s portrayal of Norah O’Donnell and Chloe Fineman as Margaret Brennan setting the stage for an engaging and hilarious mockery of the actual event.
The October 5th edition of “Saturday Night Live” started off with a humorous skit mimicking the recent Vice Presidential debate.
As a movie enthusiast glued to my screen at home, I found myself captivated by the political debate unfolding before me. The talented Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan skillfully moderated the event, while governors Tim Walz and JD Vance exchanged subtle jabs in their discussions.
Vance addressed his initial unease by starting his speech with a point meant to resonate with female voters: “To kick things off, I’d like to mention that I identify with the experiences of mothers, as both moderators here tonight are moms, and I appreciate that.
In the meantime, Walz referenced his teaching background, stating from the podium, “I’ve got to mark these assignments… I have a pile of midterms.” Later on, he referred to his biggest blunder of the night, saying, “I’ve formed friendships with school shooters.” (paraphrased)
The drawing transformed into a more emotional portrayal, satirizing the candidates’ tendency to agree with one another during the debate. “This guy is impressive – he seems to have an answer for everything,” Walz commented, later sharing a tender moment with Vance as they gently touched each other across their podiums.
Vance ended the segment by complaining at length about not wanting to get fact-checked, saying, “
Joe Biden, impersonated by Dana Carvey, unexpectedly joined Harris and Emhoff’s celebration with his iconic ice cream cone, sharing homespun advice, and creating a bit of good-natured bewilderment.
On September 28 during the opening of Season 50 of “SNL”, it was unveiled that Jim Gaffigan would play Walz and Andy Samberg portrayed Emhoff in their sketch comedy performances.
In the opening scene of the new season, Gaffigan teamed up with Rudolph to play the friendly Minnesota governor alongside Harris’ vice presidential candidate, whereas Samberg made an appearance as the Second Spouse.
In the drawing, Walz and Gaffigan jokingly remarked about Minnesota: “Here, we often say, ‘Keep your nose out of it.’ Another common phrase is, ‘My testicles stuck to the park bench.'” (This version maintains the humor and colloquial tone while being more natural and easy to read.)
In a fresh portrayal, James Austin Johnson reappeared as Donald Trump, this time accompanied by Ohio Senator JD Vance, played by Yang, as his running mate. Andrew Dismukes assumed the role of David Muir, anchor of “World News Tonight,” and jested that the ABC News debate was undoubtedly biased towards the Democrats, a fact so obvious it hardly needed stating.
