The United States, in the midst of a divisive campaign season, found a moment of calm and camaraderie in a vice presidential debate portrayed on “Saturday Night Live.” Senator JD Vance and Democratic Governor Tim Walz were depicted in a satirical light, showing moments of agreement and reason that led to a bromance-like peace between the two candidates. Walz, played by Jim Gaffigan, was depicted as a former teacher and football coach grading papers during the debate. Vance, played by Bowen Yang, tackled tough questions with vague answers while Walz boasted about having easy solutions using buzzwords. As the debate progressed, the two candidates found common ground and started to vibe with each other, much to the surprise of Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden watching on TV. The debate ended with a humorous exchange where Walz scored a metaphorical touchdown by asking Vance about Trump losing the election. The parody debate was accompanied by comedic sketches and musical performances by Coldplay on the “SNL” Season 50 premiere. The skit provided a light-hearted take on the tense political climate in the country. The show, owned by NBCUniversal, captured the attention of viewers, offering a humorous escape from the heated election environment.
