Saturday Night Live brilliantly spoofs final presidential debate

Oct 23, 2016

There are many things Trump says that cause people to break out into spontaneous laughter, but few things hit the spot quite like him stating that no one has more respect for women than him. Saturday Night Live took on the last Presidential debate, and they did it in style.

One skit had Tom Hanks in the role of Chris Wallace, the moderator, with Alec Baldwin playing Trump. Hanks asks him if he still insists he is innocent even though 12 women have each accused him of sexual assault recently.

“Of course I do, I’m completely innocent,” Baldwin said. “I’ll say it again, no one has more respect for women than I do.”

Just as people did during the real debate in Las Vegas, people in the skit began to laugh. As people laughed, the camera zoomed out, showing the entire planet laughing with Hanks, as Wallace, saying, “Settle down, entire planet, settle down.”

Kate McKinnon, who played Hillary Clinton, seemed to be having as much fun as Alec Baldwin at one point in the mock debate when they alluded to Trump and his use of “bad hombres.”

As soon as he said it, she said, “Oh, oh, oh, bingo, bingo, bingo,” holding up a bingo board showing that Trump’s mistakes had her scoring big.

Baldwin even went so far as to take a stab at his brother Stephen.

“I’m the one with the heavy hitters. I have Sarah Palin, I’ve got Chachi, and get this, I even got the best Baldwin brother, Stephen Baldwin.”

But maybe one of the finest moments was when they did a skit of a game of “Black Jeopardy.”

“Our final Jeopardy category is, ‘Lives That Matter,'” the mock game Jeopardy host said.

“I got a lot of things to say about this,” Hanks, dressed in a jean jacket and a red “Make America Great Again” hat, stated.

“Well, it was fun while it lasted,” the black game show host said as the end credits rolled over the screen. “We’ll play the national anthem and see what happens.”
