‘SNL’ Rips Into Vance and Walz's VP Debate Bromance
For its parody of the 2024 vice presidential debate, Saturday Night Live framed its cold open around Kamala Harris (Maya Rudolph) and Doug Emhoff (Andy Samberg) watching the event with confusion from their living room. Although both had high hopes for Tim Walz (Jim Gaffigan), they’re immediately concerned by him being a little too nice to his opponent.
“Wow, this guy’s good. He’s got an answer for everything,” Walz says about JD Vance (Bowen Yang) at one point. Vance smiles and earnestly replies, “Thank you. That’s quite kind.”
Later, the sketch mocked Walz’s debate flub about him claiming to have been in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre.
