“Saturday Night Live” poked fun at both presidential candidates, showing what it could be like if former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris compete in a game of “Family Feud” before the election.
After Trump closed the door on a possible second debate with Harris, the NBC sketch-comedy spoofed the debate between the two in the form of the beloved game show, with Kenan Thompson playing host Steve Harvey in the show’s cold open.
Thompson’s Harvey says in the sketch, “I’m Steve Harvey and I’ve spent the last 20 years hosting every show on TV because I want an excuse to have sister parties for them.” “Now tonight, we’ve got two political rivals.”
Both candidates join the game show host on the podium, where Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, says, “I’m telling you, Steve, she’s going to be terrible at this game. She is a person with very low IQ. The whole world is laughing at him because they don’t respect him like they did me.”
Harris, played by Maya Rudolph, accused Trump of being easily manipulated through flattery.
Rudolph says, “You look beautiful tonight,” to which Johnson replies, “I love her. Isn’t she great? She’s got my vote.”
Thompson then asked the candidates to name something kept in the glove compartment of a car, leading to Rudolph coming in and giving a speech, mocking on the show how his campaign has repeatedly mentioned how his – Was brought up in a middle class family. His mother.
As Rudolph grumbles, Thompson presses him with questions.
“Oh, a Glock, Steve. A big old Glock,” she replies, referencing Harris mentioned in an interview last week that he owned a Glock.
The question was then turned in favor of the Democrats, including Harris’ fellow governors Tim Walz (D-Minn.), played by Jim Gaffigan, President Joe Biden, played by Dana Carvey, and Doug Emhoff, played by Andy Samberg. Role included. ,
Answers from both Gaffigan and Carvey don’t make it on the board, turning it into Republicans, including JD Vance, played by Bowen Yang, Donald Trump Jr., played by Mickey Day, and notably missing Melania Trump. .
However, Day and Yang both say they were prohibited from speaking, putting Johnson back in the spotlight as Trump complained that the question was “inappropriate” because he had never been in the front seat of a car. Was not sitting.
Johnson then talks about immigrants and China, to which Thompson replies: “Show me dementia,” to no avail.
“Saturday Night Live”, now in its 50th season, begins the show each week with jokes about the upcoming presidential election.
