What are three words that describe this yearâs election? Now, think of the Saturday Night Live skits that have been done. Are your answers roughly similar?
This election has brought some of the funniest and most outrageous sketch performances in recent history.
The infamous SNL skits have been centerpieces of the elections for years now, and this election has not disappointed. Letâs take a look back and rank some from this yearâs election.
The first debate gave SNL plenty of material, and SNL used the ammunition accordingly. The countless âsnifflesâ of Alec Baldwinâs Donald Trump truly brought up the is- sue many Americans were thinking and the style that Kate McKinnonâs Hillary Clinton entered was right on cue.
Walking in with a cane, as if the rumors of her health second best out of the three.
The town hall debate had one iconic moment that people have forever remembered: Ken Bone.
The man who asked a question during this debate found memes and images of himself all around the country the next day and the SNL skit didnât fail to mention him.
When asked about setting a good example for children, McKinnon answered âyes,â while Baldwin simply said âno,â earning laughs. This debate sketch comes in at number three, however.
Finally, the third and last debate was one for the ages as guest moderator Tom Hanks played the part of Chris Wallace.
If the attention from that wasnât enough, audiences loved the way that McKinnonâs Clinton opened up the debate with how she was planning to âfeastâ in her last debate. As for Baldwinâs Trump performance, none were as good. Over the years, many people have played Trump, but Baldwin stole the show.
