OP
It's not always easy to find political sketches on SNL these days, but I can usually depend on the Cold Open!

I agree, Bowen Yang is the best George Santos and Weekend Update is always good

They came off with a good one quickly.

because sometimes they miss the mark. Weekend update smashed it.

There aren't as many political sketches on SNL as there use to be, but we can usually depend on both of those. And they're also usually the funniest.

He's like gay jaffar without the accent.
Rhiannon12866
(252,115 posts)12. LOL! And, knowing him by now, we likely haven't heard the last of him...
But you're right, Bowen Yang does the best Santos impersonation around!

Still, perfect.
