What To Watch
JD Vance & Tim Walz Get Way Too Friendly
The Oct. 5 episode of “Saturday Night Live” began with a political cold open mocking this week’s vice presidential debate.
Kamala Harris (Maya Rudolph) and her husband Doug Emhoff (Andy Samberg) are watching the debate from home. With Norah O’Donnell (Heidi Gardner) and Margaret Brennan (Chloe Fineman) moderating, Tim Walz (Jim Gaffigan) and JD Vance (Bowen Yang) took mild swipes at each other.
Vance spoke to his awkwardness, beginning his opening statement with, “I want to begin with something that will appeal to women voters: I understand both moderators tonight are mothers, and I like that.”
Meanwhile, Walz evoked his teaching past, saying at the podium, “I gotta grade these papers … I gotta stack of midterms.” He later evoked his biggest blunder of the night, saying, “I’ve become friends with school shooters.”
The sketch shifted to the emotional, parodying the candidates’ inclination to agree with each other during the debate. “This guy is good — he’s got an answer for everything,” Walz said, soon turning to Vance and having a sensitive moment as the two reached out to touch each other between their podiums.
Vance ended the segment by complaining about not wanting to get fact-checked about Donald Trump encouraging a peaceful transfer of power, saying, “He peacefully gave over power — we said no fact-checking — and willingly got on his plane without incident … Don’t check that.”
Joe Biden (Dana Carvey) then invaded Harris and Emhoff’s watch party with his signature ice cream cone, folksy wisdom and general confusion.
