“SNL” cast member James Austin Johnson returned as Donald Trump, and Bowen Yang stepped in as his running mate, JD Vance.
The question of who would play Tim Walz and Doug Emhoff on “Saturday Night Live” was answered immediately on Saturday night as the sketch comedy series kicked off its 50th season.
In the sketch, Rudolph brought back America’s “fun aunt,” aka the “Funt.” “The Funt has been rebooted,” Rudolph said. “2 Funt, 2 Furious.” As Walz, Gaffigan quipped: “In Minnesota we have a saying: ‘Mind your damn business.’ We also have another saying in Minnesota: ‘My nuts froze to the park bench.”
Soon after Harris announced Walz as her running mate, people began dream-casting the role on “SNL” While Gaffigan and Steve Martin were two of the most-repeated names, Martin said in an interview that “SNL” boss Lorne Michaelsto play Walz on the show. Martin turned it down: “I said, ‘Lorne, I’m not an impressionist. You need someone who can really nail the guy.’ I was picked because I have gray hair and glasses.
An “SNL” mainstay from 2000 to 2007, Rudolph played Harris again when she hosted the series in March 2021, which earned her yet another Emmy for guest actress in a comedy series. in September. “I said, ‘When I see her, I see her having fun,’” she said. “And so the fictional Kamala that we created tapped into her fun. And then Steve Higgins said to me that his wife called her a ‘fun aunt,’ and we were laughing at how that sounds like ‘funt.’ We just went from there.
