Re: Saturday Night Live
I literally laughed out loud at the Hitler joke in Update.
But that was probably the only legit one.
Cold opening was fine; Gaffigan as Walz was spot on casting. But Bowen as Vance? Maya Rudolph’s Kamala was spot on though, as was Dana Carvey’s Biden.

Re: Saturday Night Live
Outside of the political open it was a silly, lighter in tone show than usual. If you like those it was fine. Nothing new or standout but enjoyable enough.

Golf was fantastic. Absolutely hilarious.
Burger Challenge was great.
Haha. At the closing, Bargatze yelled Vanderbilt beat Alabama!
