**New York, NY** – “Saturday Night Live” wasted no time in lampooning Senator JD Vance’s controversial statement from Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate, “The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact-check,” during a hilarious opening sketch this week.
The sketch, a parody of the debate itself, featured returning players Bowen Yang as Vance and Jim Gaffigan as Gov. Tim Walz, alongside Heidi Gardner as Norah O’Donnell and Chloe Fineman as Margaret Brennan as the moderators.
Yang, attempting to connect with female voters, remarked, “I understand that both moderators tonight are mothers, and I like that.” Meanwhile, Gaffigan, apparently more concerned with grading papers than debating, confessed, “I got to grade these papers. Got a stack of midterms.”
The recurring political sketches on “SNL” continue to capture the nation’s attention, offering comedic commentary on current events and personalities. This week’s episode, hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze, proved once again that the show is ready to tackle even the most recent headlines with its signature brand of wit.
