@trevorholland5032eh not rly. They’re no longer the equal opportunists they used to be in making fun of political candidates, they’ve become biased towards the Democratic Party. It more has to do with the hosts that they have on, and given that John Mulaney is funny that’s what made this episode good, comparatively speaking to other episodes.
Me: Surely this guy can't actually be real, can he? *Types on laptop* Me: Oh, he is! My heart goes out to you, Harvey Epstein. Good luck on the campaign.
@@ellengrace4609Running unopposed for re-election to the state assembly. I do think he has an opponent in the city council race that’s happening next year, though. I might be wrong.
That's what makes it funnier (and most likely will make this sketch go viral). At first, the joke seems like "The guy has an unfortunate name," but now it's "The guy has an unfortunate name and is a real person who has had to deal with it since 2017 or thereabouts".
The real Harvey Epstein seems to be very stand-up dude representing his district, and actually fight for those issues like affordable housing. It this brings more publicity, I think that is good thing.
We got a guy running for state representative around my area named Brad Christ so seeing signs in yards that say “Police for Christ” is pretty funny like this was
Is he conservative? I think it’d be really funny if he wasn’t. The anger so many would feel! There was a local race in the more conservative part of California where the candidates had the opposite racial names. The white guy (R) had an Asian sounding name and the Asian guy (D) had a white sounding name. The democrat won. Both candidates figured it was the name. It was a safe R seat. FTR, the democrats seemed to have voted for the white guy. (I don’t want it to seem like I’m being partisan. It’s just honestly interesting!)
@@crossfyerAs a native New Yorker, we need one for Eric Adams ASAP...The man was literally out on the circuit for Kamala before his indictment...NOW, he's quoting Trump!
This skit wouldn't work so well if John didn't play it absolutely straight. You can just tell that Epstein (the good one) has already went through the first four stages of grief, and is now just permanently in the acceptance stage.
I accidentally woke my sleeping husband watching this sketch because i was giggling so hard. Frankly, this has not been an issue with SNL for a minute. My bleary eyed lightly confused husband applauds y'all.
I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
I started pretty low, though, $5000 thereabouts. The return came massive. Joey is in school doing well, telling me of new friends he's meeting in school. Thank you Evelyn Vera, you're a miracle.
There was a Chinese American politician in San Francisco name Something Ju. He got involved in a financial corruption scandal. The headline o n the Front page of the local paper said "Ju involved in financial corruption scandal." Local Jewish people were like, "This is not something we need right now."
Ffs...😂 I'm loving American sense of humor every day. What a way to wake up first news of the day for me and one that at first brought confusion, shock then abject hysterical laughter 🤣👌
I live in his district in the east Village. He’s been in the neighborhood for a long time. I’ve met him. He is a genuinely genuinely (yes 2x) good guy and really cares about the quality of life of regular working people. I hope he rises in the ranks of politics because we really need people like him in positions of power 👍
I was going to say this would definitely be a good case for someone to legally change their name; then I found out Harvey Epstein is a real person, they didn't change their name, and they are actually an elected politician. I am absolutely shocked, respect for the dude being successful, without compromise, in a position where the cards were stacked against him.
"Everyone deserves a second chance."
*"I'm still on my first chance!"*
That's funny by itself, but imagine a woman saying "They deserve a second chance" about the *actual* Harvey and Epstein. That just makes it funnier.

The corporate speak of “or some amalgamation thereof,” is such a funny way to sum up comedy sketch 😂😂

Damn, SNL, you really knocked it out of the park this week. No sarcasm. Mulaney has the magic touch.
I laughed all the way through this. Gold. "..They certainly didn't combine to form one person and make me." HA HA! What a winning image.
I was a summer youth intern fro Harvey! Overall great guy!
Which one?
He's still on his first chance!

These segments were great! Easily one of the better SNL episodes.
Something happened to SNL in the last 6 months, it's like they rediscovered something essential. I think the new writers finally found their groove

He’s a great dude!
That’s amazing!

My favorite part is when he stands by and applauds when the skater does a little ollie.
that and the way he did the little air punch after helping toss out garbage
Absolute banger of an episode

shout out to Mulaney using his Law and Order Dock Worker being questioned by the cops accent
One of the best recent SNL sketches.. "what's in a name" indeed!
The fact that this is real makes it so much funnier. Sometimes, the best comedy comes from things that are real.
Almost missed this segment because I confused it for a real political ad.
Fake ad, real person.
Same
Omgosh, me too!
I'm so damn happy I'm not the only one. lmfao
It was sandwiched between like 6 other political ads.
The high concept of this sketch was not wasted in it's execution. Fun!
