UPDATE With Video Saturday Night Live gave Morning Joe what it had coming tonight, with Kate McKinnon and Alex Moffat introducing cooing, note-perfect impressions of Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough and Alec Baldwin literally phoning in his Donald Trump.
Moffats grouchy, exasperated Oh, Mikaaaa just might be a new SNL catchphrase.
Just days after the real-life Morning Joe cohosts announced their engagement, McKinnon and Moffat, whove clearly been doing their homework, unveiled a new SNL cold open bit, complete with classic-rock intro (a Morning Joe staple) and the MSNBC duos familiar talking-over-one-another style that soon devolved from political debate into heavy-breathing sweet nothings.
As Kate/Mika rambled on about the health care bill and Republican moral bankruptcy, Alex/Joe interrupted with Oh, Mika, thats enough, ok, youre being sickening because you know it pushes my buttons
Cut to a stunned Mike Barnicle (Bobby Moynihan), then Mark Halperin (Beck Bennett) and finally Willie Geist (Mikey Day).
Baldwin live, on the phone called into Morning Joe as John Miller, a White House spokesman who sounded suspiciously like Donald Trump, boasting about the amazing success of the health care bill. Reminded by Scarborough that the proposal still has to pass the Senate, Miller responded, The what now?

(70,691 posts)1. SNL reads DU? They used the name "Mika Mouse" - the first instance anywhere but here
I started calling her that several years ago because of her submissiveness to Scabs' verbal and emotional abuse of her and also for her waffling on supporting Dem positions despite her trading on speaking on the Left side.
I have never seen her called that by anybody else on DU or outside DU until last night's SNL. That said, they way they used it was as a term of endearment from Scabs to her, which was not my use.
