Saturday Night Live is probably as left leaning as any given show on any given evening lineup, but that has not stopped them in the least from mocking Kamala, Walz, and Biden right alongside the expected knocks on JD Vance and President Trump. In fact, it almost seems as though they have been ramping up their focus on the democratic ticket since the VP debate!
Here’s Maya Rudolph as Harris alongside Andy Samberg who plays her hubby, watching in panicked dismay as Jim Gaffigan’s Walz impersonation acts just as off-key as he does in real life!
BRUTAL 🤣

And I wonder… did SNL dare broach the subject of Walz’ Tiananmen Square Massacre flub? Yes — they dared!
Tim Walz is getting destroyed on SNL because of his disastrous debate performance.

And if you’re in the mood for more, you’re in luck — here’s the full cold open via SNL! Trust me… there are far more nuggets than I embedded above!
I did a little digging just because SNL’s willingness to go after the democrats even more than the republicans caught my attention! Here’s what Fox News ran on the post-debate skit set:
“Saturday Night Live” mocked Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday in a skit focused on the vice presidential debate between Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance, showing Maya Rudolph, who played Harris, watching the night unfold with a glass of wine.
Jim Gaffigan, who played Walz, and Bowen Yang, who played Vance, were shown having an intense moment of agreement, taking aim at the portions of the actual debate where both candidates said they agreed with one another.
“Why are they friends? Why are they vibing?” Rudolph yelled after spitting out her wine.
My personal favorite is when Walz admits he may have been at Epcot, and not China. Is it possible that’s what really happened all along? We may never know. But at least we can count on some epic SNL skits reminiscent of the good old days!
I haven’t laughed this much at SNL since Monica Lewinski’s blue dress skits. It’s been awhile. Well done, SNL! Please keep the good stuff coming!
