This was also true of the Tina Fey, Sara Palin interview. Palin was so weird it was hard for a comedian to satire it.

Creature? The tolerant left....

I am a strong Republican, but like so many others, I was certain SNL would do this after watching Katie Britt. Scarlett should win an Oscar because she nailed it.

I've been watching SNL for like 40 years now. I can't remember a time when I was more sure of what the cold open would be. I watched the real speech for like 30 seconds, and I was already 100% sure it would be the cold open.

Yes, this ranks right up there with Tina Fey's Sarah Palin impression for most realistic parody.

[@Illumirage]

You're not conservative

[@user-qx8vp2vi7x]

Love how the "Get Out" movie was used to throw shade on Katie Britt's already seedy charisma. I kept wanting to compliment so many things this wonderful actress accomplished in her performance that was placed and executed flawlessly. Loved it.

Can we talk about the level of vocal cord control Scar-Jo must have to not only use vocal fry this entire skit, but also making her voice crack each and every time she says *_"BIDEN",_* and not once having to cough, or clear her throat?! 😲😎
