Wasn’t particularly funny although I did like that the “undecided voters” were presented as doofuses and Tom Hanks was an unexpected surprise
I do not like the current gentleman who plays President Obama on SNL (Jay Pharoah). I much prefered Fred Armisen. The skit on the Chinese debt (”before you do SEX TO ME!!”) is probably one of the funniest in SNL’s long history
Fred Armisen, in that sketch had President Obama’s tone, accent and mannerism down pat
Yes. Armisen was much better. I am wondering if it was the Bamster himself that complained that a white guy was playing him. Pharaoh isn't a good impressionist nor does he want to make fun of Obama. There is nothing funny about Pharaoh’s Obama. But SNL has been increasingly politically correct. They never go for the jugular when portraying Dems. More's the pity. That is one reason they are even less funny this year. And the new viewing year has just started.
