SNL Cast Andy Samberg And Jim Gaffigan In Key Political Roles, And Fans Are Fired Up


Saturday Night Live Season 50 debuted last night and launched with a bang. Unsurprisingly, the first episode of the landmark season kicked off with a political sketch that lampooned the political rallies of U.S. Presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. While it was known that Maya Rudolph would reprise Harris and likely expected that James Austin Johnson would return as Trump, they were joined by some familiar faces. SNL alum Andy Samberg and comedian Jim Gaffigan were revealed to have been cast in key roles, and the Internet is fired up!

Both Andy Samberg and Jim Gaffigan’s roles were connected to the Kamala Harris segments of the cold open. During that portion, Maya Rudolph’s Harris brought out her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who was revealed to be played by Jim Gaffigan. The veteran funnyman effortlessly portrayed Walz, channeling his boisterous personality. And, later on, SNL’s version of Harris brought out her husband, Doug Emhoff, played humorously by Andy Samberg. Check out the sketch in its entirety down below:
