Frustrated SNL Writers Hoping Harris Does Something To Make Fun Of
SNL’s head writer Kahm Eddie Isded has a problem most comedy writers dream of: a Vice President so flawless she’s almost impossible to satirize. “We spend hours in the writers’ room watching clips of Harris,” sighed Isded, exasperated. “We wait for a gaffe, a bizarre expression—anything. But all we get are crisp, concise answers and a laugh so endearing it lights up the room.”
Governor Tim Walz is no better. Isded recounted a recent attempt to satirize Walz’s pheasant hunting trip. “The guy couldn’t load his own shotgun and was dressed like the Village People’s backup dancer, yet we came up empty! There’s just nothing to exaggerate—it’s all perfectly normal,” Isded lamented, shaking his head.
Even SNL’s recent in-office improvement, the installation of a tampon machine in the men’s restroom, has done little to lift morale. “The guys don’t seem as moody anymore,” noted Isded. “But we’re still in a rut. We’re forced to run another sketch about Trump saying ‘covfefe’—it’s like, who’s even excited about that anymore?”
As hope dwindles for Harris-related comedy gold, Isded is pinning his dreams on an upcoming live episode where Maya Rudolph’s Harris impersonation will be “spontaneously” interrupted by the real VP. “We’ve triple-checked the teleprompters so there won’t be any surprises,” he assured. “It’s going to be a laugh riot. Or, at least, we really hope so.”
