Cheney Interview Cold Open - Saturday Night Live

[@pdalia]

This guy is probably the best along with Keenan , Ferrell, wig and others . He’s funny as hell

[@HolyCanoley]

"Mr. Vice President, thank you for appearing here tonight." "Not at all Diane."

[@ghosttrain9022]

People are right that this shouldn't be funny, but Wiig and Hammond sell it like hot donuts.

Christian Bale is on my mind...

Here we are in nov 2020 after a trump loss, and hearing about all these issues resurfacing, this was friggin spot on!! 😂😂🤣

[@adelaidemarie]

And now it’s 2022 and Liz just lost

[@arthurmorgan6703]

"Do you regret watching this SNL Sketch?" YESSS

[@exas4791]

Is Wigg parodying the moral high ground Sawyer always conveyed with a condescending tone used during Sawyer's interviews ?

[@squamish4244]

Yes. I wonder if she regrets it.

Cheney regrets no event in human history lol

[@CherryBlossomOhka]

Its now 2024, and Dick Cheney is popular amongst Democrats.

[@sizwesamagambushechonco8717]

😂😂 I always watch this and laugh always

[@laurenreed7263]

Not a good skit but Kristen is the best!

Blue, the black cat, will keep crossing my path.

[@embe1]

What about the meteor that will destroy all life in the next 15min. Do you regret that?

[@jojotheswede8444]

not at all

[@samrey1803]

More than half of these... Executive branch should not care to give a shit... So, I'm glad he said no to them. Few of them he didn't... That's concerning 😅✌️

I actually do regret having watched this all the way through.

[@joseveijanen3715]

Peter Piper I do not!

[@TimsFoyleHeadgear]

+Peter Piper Maybe you should watch it again.

[@peterpiper7441]

johana77 I suppose so. I must have missed something funny somewhere between the 0:00 and the 6:01 marks.

[@TimsFoyleHeadgear]

Peter Piper Maybe you have missed a lot of funny things between a lot of marks.

[@peterpiper7441]

johana77 Possibly true. Maybe someone can point me to the funny parts I have missed. :)

[@jayashreechakravarthy4949]

Azith can play a character.

[@robertmead9234]

This grew very tiresome very quickly

[@Anfubvinch]

Can't believe they managed to stretch out 6 minutes from this shit. That was a 3-minute sketch maximum and not a good one either

[@laxeystu8096]

Anfubvinch Presumably Cheney gave an interview like this and this is a parody

[@jayashreechakravarthy4949]

Abbie Emmons draw up a huge fine for andhra and then, remind jaggu.

[@Coordinite]

This feels like a joke without a punchline... am I missing something here? Why would anyone regret anything they don't have any control over? And if Sawyer is supposed to be the butt of the joke, that doesn't really work.

[@zsm1999]

because the two questions she has that he did have control over, the first and the last, he denies having regrets but does not expand on why he doesn't. so asking him about iraq or shooting his friend is just as meaningless as asking if he regrets that less than half of all sea turtle babies make it to the ocean. it's about the absurdity of the interview itself if neither party intends to actually discuss anything.

[@GrumpyAboutEverything]

Iraq war was not a regret

[@TopazChrysanthemum]

The joke is he's a heartless bastard? The things that he and the administration did wrong/failed to deliver (Katrina response, invading Iraq, shooting his friend, Social Security reform) he doesn't regret having failed on, despite the negative effects of those things. She tries things that other people would have sympathy for, like the turtles or old yeller, but he doesn't care. Regret can be for things that have happened, like "I regret that person died" even if you personally were not responsible. They might be stretching the usual usage of the word here, but portraying Cheney as heartless is the point.

Do I regret not knowing if Andy samburg is the one portraying dick Cheney here or not? No
