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.
Bonus points: The actor playing trump isn’t told their lines and just has to read whatever nonsense on the queue card
Interesting homophone typo. Sorry to be pedantic and it doesn’t matter but they’re actually cues as in hints/signals to know what to say instead of a line of cards in a queue
Edit: Here’s the link, for anyone who hasn’t seen it.
Rudolph did a great job, she really had the Cadence down I thought. Gaffigan not so much, just kind of felt lazy.
Carvey is just sad. Hasn’t really been funny since Church Lady.
The rest were great.

Then don’t watch snl, dumbass.
Their cold* open is almost always and HAS almost always been political
Why does it feel like you’re making this comment without every having heard of Saturday Night Live before?
It’s literally starting its FIFTIETH season of political satire being a significant part of the show. Are you not smart enough to factor genre into what you watch? Do you think it makes you look like you have a reasonable thought process when you expect a show to suddenly diverge from its decades-long format?
