So glad to see SNL took my advice and hired Jim Gaffigan to play Tim Walz. (Didn’t see Bowen Yang coming as JD Vance or Andy Samberg as Doug Emhoff, tho.) Also kinda wish they had hired to Dana Carvey to play Joe Biden back when he was the candidate. loom.ly/hUhrNQk
Alas, Gaffigan has tour shows scheduled both on 11/2 and 11/9
Couldn't do this live, but with a bit of camera trickery you could have Joe Biden debate George HW Bush's ghost, both played by Dana Carvey. Eh, probably wouldn't be prudent, not at this juncture.
