SNL humorously critiques Walz and Vance's friendly debate style in 2024 parody

Saturday Night Live parodied the 2024 vice presidential debate, featuring Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff watching from home. They were surprised by Tim Walz's friendly demeanor towards opponent JD Vance, expressing concern over their unexpected rapport. The sketch highlighted Walz's debate mistake about the Tiananmen Square Massacre, with Gaffigan's Walz humorously attributing it to a mix-up at Epcot. Vance, played by Yang, agreed they shared common ground, prompting Harris to question their friendship. As the debate progressed, Walz attempted to score points by asking Vance if Donald Trump lost the election. Vance deflected, focusing on the future. Emhoff celebrated a sound bite, but Harris noted it had no impact on polls.
