Saturday Night Live - Cold Opening: Vice Presidential Debate

 Saturday Night Live cold open was about the first  Vice Presidential Debate at Centre College.Kate McKinnon as Martha Raddatz began by making  fun of the Debate’s struggle for relevance ., “Before we begin, a reminder that your performance tonight is extremely unlikely to affect the outcome of the election. So just have fun with it.” Taran Killam as Congressman Ryan barely got out a thanks to Centre College for hosting the Debate before Jason Sudeikis as Biden launched into “here we go"  Because Biden frequently interrupted Ryan during the actual debate.The sketch broadly hit the obvious things that people noticed  Paul Ryan’s habit of drinking water continuously during the Debate, a Catholic-off on the topic of abortion; and moderator Martha Raddatz’s refusal to give the candidates more time like the previous moderator in the first Presidential Debate . Biden had an uphill battle coming off more over the top than the vice president himself, announcing “There’s gym-strong, and there’s old-man strong.”On economic policy, McKinnon as Raddataz presses,”Can you please be more specific?”  Killam as Ryan responds, “No, but let me say it again, with hand gestures.” This debate in my opinion was the most humorous out of all the debates and even though it was a bit exaggerated a  they did a good reenactment of the Vice Presidential debate.
