“Saturday Night Live” featured the vice presidential debate between a crazy, folksy Tim Walz (played by Jim Gaffigan) and a slippery JD Vance (Bowen Yang), who explained his apparent slam against running mate Donald Trump as “America’s Hitler ‘ was ‘intended as a compliment’.

When Vance is asked how he would resolve the Middle East crisis, he responds, “You know, that’s such an important question, Margaret, a question that deserves an answer, because it’s a question you’re asking me tonight.” you have stated.’

“You’re not going to answer, are you?” CBS News moderator Margaret Brennan (Chloe Fineman) intervenes.

“No, I’m not,” Yang replies.

Meanwhile, former high school teacher Walz scribbles on his podium “grading a stack of midterms.”

When asked the same question, he responds, “I don’t know the answer, so I’m just going to say a lot of ‘basic’.”

As the rivals struggle to sidestep questions, they suddenly realize that they share many evasive “common points” and that they are at the beginning of what could be a bromance.

Maya Rudolph, who plays Kamala Harris and is watching the debate from home, spits out her wine. “Why are they shaking?” she whines to husband Doug Emhoff (Andy Samberg).

Then a completely confused Joe Biden (Dana Carvey) shows up at their house and remarks that vice presidents don’t matter anyway.

“I’m serious now,” Biden says. “Who the hell was Obama’s vice president? No one knows!”
