As a seasoned gamer with over three decades of Saturday Night Live (SNL) marathons under my belt, I must say that Doug Emhoff’s approval of Andy Samberg‘s impersonation is a testament to SNL’s enduring power and comedic prowess. It’s not every day that someone gets to see themselves lampooned on the hallowed grounds of Studio 8H, and Emhoff handled it with grace and good humor.
Doug Emhoff has watched Andy Samberg’s portrayal of him on Saturday Night Live, and he gives it his thumbs up.
I dropped by “The Jennifer Hudson Show” yesterday, and they inquired about Andy Samberg’s depiction of me during the premier of their sketch comedy show’s season 50. This happened over the weekend.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been following that series, and it’s astounding to consider that someone might be deceiving me! First off, it’s just… remarkable! Adding to the surprise, Andy Samberg delivered an impressive performance!” Emhoff said on the daytime talk show.
When Jennifer Hudson expressed her approval, she said that he had indeed done well. “Great job, Andy,” she praised. “The second ‘gentlemensch’ line was excellent,” she continued. “Your little Dougie impression was spot on,” she concluded, reminiscing about Bill Hader (Andy Samberg’s character) dancing to “Teach Me How to Dougie” during the Saturday Night Live cold open.
Emhott commented by saying he was attempting a dance move called the Dougie, which I wasn’t familiar with, but it looked quite impressive.
The first man briefly acknowledged the excellent performance of Maya Rudolph in her role as Vice President Kamala Harris, expressing admiration by saying, “She’s fantastic as Kamala. She truly delivered an outstanding portrayal.
Samberg, Rudolph, Dana Carvey, James Austin Johnson, and Bowen Yang appeared together at the start, with each portraying different characters: President Joe Biden, Donald Trump, and J.D. Vance.
In his podcast “Superfly,” alongside David Spade, Carvey shared insights into his preparations to portray the current president in the comedy series. He mentioned that he’d been secretive about this project for several weeks.
The humorist and performer shared that he hasn’t come across numerous Biden impersonations as they can be somewhat challenging, yet he noted that he has encountered plenty of Trump portrayals, such as those by Borat (Johnson) and Shane Gillis.
On Saturday Night Live (SNL), several actors and guest stars have attempted to portray the president, yet no single performer has become the consistently recognized Biden impersonator. Notable actors like Jason Sudeikis, Woody Harrelson, John Mulaney, and Jim Carrey have all assumed the role of the president within the series.
Carvey clarified that it was crucial for him to accurately portray Biden’s energetic style, which he noticed around six months into his first term when Biden responded angrily to a question with a show of strength. “He said something like ‘I can do whatever you want!'” Carvey explained, referring to the distinctive rhythm of that moment.
The actor who played Wayne’s World character also mentioned that he was focusing more on humor rather than political comments. This is in reference to a scene in the opening where his portrayal of Biden stumbled over lines, ending up saying “I can’t believe it’s not butter,” instead of his 2020 campaign phrase “Build back better.
“Carvey explained that the main goal was to make things funny rather than political. He didn’t prepare a script or plan for him to say ‘I can’t believe it’s not butter!’ as a direct statement.
SNL season 50 returns on Saturday with host Nate Bargatze and musical guest Coldplay.
