Jim Gaffigan joined Maya Rudolph in the season premiere cold open as the affable Minnesota Governor and Harris’ running mate, while Andy Samberg appeared as the Second Gentleman. Also, Dana Carvey debuted his Joe Biden impression on “SNL.”
“SNL” cast member James Austin Johnson returned as Donald Trump, and Bowen Yang stepped in as his running mate, JD Vance.
It would be far more entertaining if they just had women and minorities play Trump by wearing a wig and just using out of context lines from his speeches when he talks. It doesn’t need to fit whatever is happening, since his actual ramblings don’t have much to do with what is going on at the time. Ph, and in the their own speaking voice, not even trying to sound like him.
Plus it would be funny to see who breaks when whoever is playing him that week struggles with the word salad.
