So the season premiere of SNL in early October is going to be a few days before the one and only 2020 Vice Presidential Debate. And we’ve learned this week that Scott Walker has been standing in for Kamala during Mike Pence’s debate prep.
A few questions: Is Walker wearing a wig, pantsuit and Converse sneakers during these mock debates? And — if so — is Mike Pence allowed to be alone in a room with that?
This strikes me as ripe for an SNL opening bit, but might require too much precision to avoid missteping into a gender and race minefield.
I’m imagining a premise where Maya Rudolph as Kamala offers (perhaps) Mikey Day-as-Walker-as-Kamala some cool aunt tips on pulling off the look and manner.
Perhaps even the actual Kamala could show up as a topper. It could also be a call back to Palin’s appearance on SNL with Fey.
This isn’t much of a diary, just wanted to get this premise prediction out of my head and on the record.
Any of you want to throw out some predictions regarding the VP debate?
