'SNL': Woody Harrelson, Larry David, Maya Rudolph join host Will Ferrell in Democratic debate parody
"Saturday Night Live" had a little help from some big names this week as the comedy show offered its own take on Wednesday's Democratic presidential debate.
According to NBC News, actor Woody Harrelson, comedian Larry David, and "SNL" alums Maya Rudolph, Fred Armisen and Rachel Dratch joined host Will Ferrell and the show's cast members for a 12-minute sketch taking aim at the 2020 candidates.
Here are some of our favorite moments:
- Ferrell, playing billionaire Tom Steyer: "Health care is important, but housing affects everything – where you sleep, where you shop, where you get your shoes shined, where you buy your jewels, where you raise peacocks. Am I relatable?"
- Harrelson, playing former Vice President Joe Biden: "America, I see you, and I see the faces you all make when I talk. You're scared – scared I'll say something off-color, or even worse, on color."
- David, playing Sen. Bernie Sanders: "Here's my plan for health care: no co-pay, no out-of-pocket. The only thing that comes out of my pocket are tissues; receipts; loose cough drops; a movie stub for 'Florence Foster Jenkins,' which was, eh, so-so; and, of course, the little button in the baggy that comes with the pants. Most people throw it out. Do yourself a favor: Hold on to it. You never know!"
- Rudolph, playing Sen. Kamala Harris: "I'm just gonna have some fun and see if I can get some viral moments. Mama needs a GIF."
- Armisen, playing former New York Mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg: "I'd like to see those Trump supporters come up with a conspiracy theory about a Jewish billionaire with his own media company. Good luck making that stick."
- Dratch, playing Sen. Amy Klobuchar: "I got $17,000 from ex-boyfriends. All I had to do was threaten to come back in their lives."
- Kate McKinnon, playing Sen. Elizabeth Warren: "I've got mom-hosting-Thanksgiving energy; I'm a little overwhelmed because I thought 10 people were coming and now there's 30 million."
- Colin Jost, playing South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg: "America, I know I can do this because my supporters are a diverse coalition from young to old, gay to straight, white to eggshell. Thank you."
- Cecily Strong, playing Rep. Tulsi Gabbard: "I have no interest in those Dalmatian puppies, muhahaha. I yield my time."
- Chris Redd, playing Sen. Cory Booker: "Vice President Biden, I was stunned to hear you don't support the legalization of marijuana; in fact – rehearsed joke – I thought you were high when you said it."
- Bowen Yang, playing tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang: "I wanna take this opportunity to announce my VP, the new Tesla Cybertruck!"
