The smirk on Che's face while the audience cheers for women's history month knowing he's gonna make a joke that changes their reaction is hilarious

"Please don't stop mocking Mitch after he steps down......................." You mean like when the original W.U. anchor Chevy Chase would give a update on the dictator in Spain who died by repeating that "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is STILL dead"? Do you even know that the majority of people find jokes about retired politicians to be incredibly dull? NEWS ALERT, once McConnell leaves Washington it'll mark the finish of his doing any and all public commenting about almost everything, he'll no longer have any current comments that can be mocked, has anyone else even noticed that Bowen Yang did a impersonation of someone that was permanently evicted out of Congress, yet since that time there hasn't been so much as even a reference or reprise of that impersonation of him seen at all on the show? Somebody left a youtube comment hoping that he would continue to do the character of that person on the show, though it's already too late for that, the character has already become a has been, same thing too for McConnell, soon enough he'll be a has been too and therefore too dull to be the subject of any mockery.

[@anthony7697]

@@ericdpeerik3928 1. Since they became 'Yanks' and took things over. 2. Rainbow outfits might actually be better than what most of them wear. 3. No, but we may not want to know for the reasons you point out at the end. Living with my Irish immigrant grandmother, they (the other Americans/Yanks) know exactly f--- all beyond all the old stereotypes. Which, is kind of hilarious in the age of 'woke-ism' that most of them still wear the 'traditional Leprechaun outfit' - when what they think of as a leprechaun is really just an amalgamation of old Irish stereotypes from back in the day they decided to put in green, as opposed to any of the four looks from folklore who in fact wore red. To say nothing of just marking it as a day to get hammered, speaking gibberish none of the Irish I know here or in Belfast have ever said, and absolutely cringe 'accents'. Might as well let them march around in rainbow outfits if that's what they wanna do - makes as much sense as half the other nonsense these people do/pull on St. Patrick's Day.
