This kind of reads tone deaf to undecided voters, many people don’t watch SNL. Would have been better going on another show or podcast where undecided or conservatives watch try and plead her case (hopefully talk about policy) to a wide audience. Having a Kumbaya with a select few (not many people watch SNL anymore) of people who are already voting for her is not the way to do it. It is also not the way to solidify her allegedly bringing the country together.

Do you think she's going on a news show or a podcast at 11:30pm on Saturday night? It was a perfectly reasonable use of that time slot and not that hard to simply stop in NY on her way between campaign events in NC and GA on Saturday and then WI and MI on Sunday. It's a national audience and allows her to show a different side of her personality. Well worth the stop in NY at a time when few other voters are up or receptive to a campaign argument.

Additionally, the skit has legs beyond those who watch SNL -- it made the national news and you can bet "independents" and everybody else is going to watch it.

It was the show's writers. Do you think she is writing her bits for the skit?

She is hitting every swing state down the stretch. She was in GA and NC yesterday. She is in MI today, and PA tomorrow. Obama is in Wisconsin today. Michelle, each of the Walz's and Emhoff are in all of the swing states Thursday to Monday. She had to go from NC to PA last night anyhow, so what is a 15 minute (by plane) detour to NYC? She reached millions of eyeballs with her joy and will reach millions more on social media clips. Meanwhile Trump was rambling on about Hannibal Lechter, STILL not understanding the difference between an insane asylum and a migrant seeking asylum. At least he didn't molest any microphones yesterday.

Meh. Independent here. Not an SNL fan at all. However, like an earlier poster, this made me tear up. It’s the hope that maybe we can get the toxicity of Trump out of our body politic and go back normal politicians who may not be perfect but who can laugh at themselves and put some effort in for all Americans.

Priceless.

They’ve done that same mirror sketch for decades, it wasn’t just about Trump.

I’m also an independent voter. Do you live in WI, PA, GA, AZ? I have family in all those states and hundreds of extended family that live in Wisconsin. They all complained about SNL at a family function this summer.

Yep. I was thinking of Mick Jagger.

The Kamala opening was good. I really liked the appearance of Tim Kaine on the game show. I did laugh at that. Went to bed after that so I missed JFK Jr’s bear.

The Trump sketch was good too—

Last time I hated a mike that much I tried to get him killed.

Trump wanted to have DoJ shut SNL down. What a thin-skinned toddler.

Like NPR only a few libs watch or listen to SNL.

The -ala riff was cute. Loved it!

Agreed - it was adorable and fun and exciting when Kamala was revealed in the mirror. Kamala was a star and she had great chemistry with Maya Rudolph! Loved the -ala bit too.

I take back what I said about KH writing a book and appearing in talk shows. She’ll be a new cast member on SNL. They have never had an Indian and it’s time.

Many people don’t watch a show that’s been a cultural barometer for the last half-century.

My teens watched last night for Chappel Roan.
