After a break last week, Saturday Night Live returned with a PBS NewsHour rendition for its cold open. Here, host Judy Woodruff (Heidi Gardner) interviews Republican candidates Herschel Walker (Kenan Thompson), Dr. Oz (Mikey Day), and Kari Lake (Cecily Strong) as their numbers continue to surge in the polls despite "none of you having any political experience."
Each candidate got a chance to plead their case for their respective election races as Walker mostly rambled unintelligently, Dr. Oz hawked weight loss products, and Lake tried to downplay her support of 2020 election fraud claims despite it being the focal point of her campaign.
Even more impressive than anything in this sketch though is Cecily Strong's Kari Lake impression, complete with smeared Vaseline all over the camera lens to make it super authentic.
