‘Saturday Night Live’ Spoofs The VP Debate With A Fact-Check Fearing Jd Vance And Goofy Tim Walz
Saturday Night Live brought back almost all of the 2024 election principals for its cold open tonight, in a spoof of this week’s vice presidential debate between Jd Vance (Bowen Yang) and Tim Walz (Jim Gaffigan).
The riffs were on the most memorable moments from an otherwise inconsequential 90-minute debate, including when both candidates were asked by CBS News moderators Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan about some of their contradictory past claims.
“Senator Vance, you called Donald Trump America’s Hitler. Do you regret that?”
As he did in the real debate, Yang’s Vance tried to explain it away. “The context matters. I meant that as a compliment,” he insisted.
Then it was on to Walz. “Governor Walz. You claimed you were in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre when you were home in Minnesota. Can you explain that?”
Gaffingan’s Walz answered, “I think what happened is I went to Epcot.
