Watch: SNL VP debate cold open pokes fun at Vance and Walz’s cordial exchange
Saturday Night Live's (SNL) cold open on Saturday, 5 October, poked fun at the vice presidential debate between JD Vance (Bowen Yang) and Tim Walz (Jim Gaffigan).
Kamala Harris (Maya Rudolph) and Doug Emhoff (Andy Samberg) watched on as the pair stared into each other's eyes and found "common ground", prompting Rudolph to spit out wine and exclaim: "Why are they vibing?"
The cold open appeared to reference times during the real debate when the two VP candidates were inclined to agree with each other.
