I watched the season 50 debut last night.  Not a bad show, and some funny skits. Jim Gaffigan's impression of VP candidate Tim Walz was hilarious.  Saturday Night Live has a mountain of material to draw from for their 50th season.  It could be one of their best ever.

I'm trying to remember. Didn't Carvey also do George W. Bush at one point? (It seems to me I recall him saying the phrase "Wouldn't be prudent.")

I wonder if that makes him unique in doing two different presidents on the same show.

Excellent 50th season launch! Weekend Update had some good digs at Trump and the cold opening, although a bit on the long side, was the best I have watched in a few seasons, loved all the stars! I think Jelly Roll has a fairly good voice but I didn’t care for either song much, but the kids love him, so go figure.

I loved when Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) was doing his meandering stadium speech and you could see the crowd behind him starting to leave.  He told the crowd to get back to their seats or he would lock all the exits..  

One of my favorite SNL presidential impressions was Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton, stopping off at a local McDonald's to "mingle with the American people", and then chows down on the patrons' food!
