The Weekend Update returns for another season on Saturday Night Live with a special visit from Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell (James Austin Johnson) and Herschel Walker (Kenan Thompson).
Weekend Update host Michael Che has brought the two « peas in a bag, » as Walker says, to discuss the 2022 midterm elections. Most importantly, the pair have come to discuss Walker’s bizarre way of speaking and if he’s a qualified candidate, to begin with.
« There’s too many to name, » says McConnell, who’s being perfectly impersonated by James Austin Johnson. « First, he plays football and Georgia loves football. »
If that isn’t qualification enough, we don’t know what is.
