Jim Gaffigan and Bowen Yang Reveal Their ‘SNL’ VP Impressions
Going into the season 50 premiere of Saturday Night Live, there was a lot of fan speculation over who’d play the two biggest new names in the 2024 presidential election, Tim Walz and JD Vance. The cold open started with a rally for Kamala Harris (played by a returning Maya Rudolph), who introduces her supporters to Walz, played by none other than Jim Gaffigan.
“Folks, I haven’t been this excited since I got a 10 percent rebate on a leaf blower from Menards,” Gaffigan’s Walz said. “What can I say? I got that BDE, Big Dad Energy.”
Walz continued, “When Kamala Harris called me and asked me to be her vice president, I said, ‘Uh, yeah!’ This is personal for me: I love this country, and as a former teacher I need the money.”
