That was hilarious! I didn't even recognize Paul Rudd, but I loved how they mocked him mercilessly. He so deserves it. I really hope he was watching and felt infuriated by the skit.

And it took me a bit to recognize Paul Rudd, too - but I thought James Corden was hysterical!

3. I wonder how the cast feels about outsiders acting in the cold opening. They have 17 cast members

They originally had 7 cast members. I am sure lots of them could do the parts just as well maybe better.

5. There are millions of people who watch the cold opening and then go to bed.

The cast probably loves having outside actors at the after-party.

11. Well, Jimmy Fallon hails from SNL and they often have alumni back to reprise certain roles

I particularly liked Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris. But then we have James Corden! I don't think they could have done better for this sketch! I hope we see more of him as Boris Johnson!

It was a spot on sketch, and the casting was awesome! Thanks for posting.
