That was not good. So much opportunity, so many missed punchlines.

The skit itself wasn’t great. But Dana did a really good Biden though.

I would bet money they ran the skit past Kamala & Doug's handlers to make sure they were okay with how they portrayed them & cut out things they were not okay with. It was free reign on Vance. Welcome to your new America.

They made fun of walz a lot in that sketch. Did we watch the same thing?

I thought it was a good political cold open. Carvey is great as Biden.

They made fun of both I thought. The most egregious thing was choosing the gaysian dude to play JDV. Slapping a beard on that dude just felt lazy as hell, and he didn’t even do a solid voice/mannerism impression anyway. Just seems like they could’ve used literally anybody else and it would’ve been better.

Agree. Yang sucks arse and nobody is buying an Asian playing a hillbilly.

Yang sucks. I don't get it at all. There are funny cast members.

That said, I did watch this episode in full earlier this morning. Nate has such a good delivery as a host and in sketches.

Dana doing Biden is hilarious to me. I think it's great.

6 unfunny people and Dana Carvey. If not for him, it was just a complete bust. With him it’s pretty much a complete bust, but his impressions are great as usual.

SNL hasn’t been funny in like 20 years

That was the SNL version of saying that they do not think Trump/Vance will win.

Carvey has been great as Joe Biden.

I was surprised they showed Kamala hitting the wine so much.

Yang was a bad choice for Vance.
It's a shame they fired Shane Gillis he would have been great on the show. His episodes have been good and supposedly it was yang who got him fired.

At least two of the cast members wore Dana Carvey character T-shirts for the end of the show goodbye waves. I thought that was nice to show respect like that.
