As a hardcore gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel for Wolf Blitzer in this unfortunate turn of events. The guy just wanted to unwind and enjoy a lazy Sunday with some well-deserved day drinking, only to have his world turned upside down by a major political news story. It’s like hitting a perfect high score on your favorite game, only for the power to suddenly go out and ruin it all.
A leisurely Sunday afternoon can sometimes turn into a lazy evening, but this isn’t always the case as CNN’s Wolf Blitzer learned from an unexpected turn of events. Initially enjoying a relaxed weekend, Biden’s election announcement transformed Blitzer’s day from carefree to serious in a matter of hours, leaving the Internet buzzing with amusement over the drastic shift in his plans.
Around the time for brunch, Blitzer posted a picture with a lighthearted caption on X, signaling that he wasn’t in “work mode” and probably had politics far from his thoughts. Here’s what he shared, filled with optimism and clever name plays, featuring cocktails:
At a well-known restaurant in Washington D.C., just as Joe Biden was about to savor some drinks with rhyming names, an unexpected turn of events unfolded in the same city: Biden announced his withdrawal from the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris for the position of Vice President instead. This situation is akin to watching a rerun of “Clerks,” but with all other elements altered, except for a person who wasn’t supposed to be present.
Instead of having the opportunity to show photos of himself wearing a lampshade hat and other classic signs of being drunk at a later time, Wolf Blitzer appeared displeased on CNN when his day off unexpectedly disappeared. This unfortunate turn of events has sparked numerous amusing social media comments about the sudden shift in location and mood. For example:
If only Wolf Blitzer had consumed a few Wolf Spritzers right away upon arriving at the restaurant, he might have missed covering the major news event for CNN. However, it seems that he remained composed and joined his colleagues on air instead. Although a part of me would have found entertainment in watching a drunk Wolf Blitzer on live TV or attempting to mimic his mask-ripping stunt from “Mission: Impossible – Fallout,” it’s likely best for everyone that he did not.
Other X users jokingly commented on Wolf Blitzer’s brief daytime drinking adventure with humorous remarks.

In simple terms, there was plenty of amusement at Wolf Blitzer’s expense during the event, despite many expressing sympathy for his situation. Additionally, some posts highlighted that even with closing all three rings on his Apple watch for the day, Blitzer continued to face challenges.
If SNL were currently producing new episodes, it’s likely that Lorne Michaels and his team would ask Beck Bennett back to perform his Wolf Blitzer impression once more. His portrayal of Blitzer received praise in the past, setting it apart from other impersonations. However, since new episodes are not imminent, this topic may be too outdated to discuss until the next time Bennett tries his signature cocktail named after the news anchor during weekends.
To put it simply, let’s consider the perspective of Kim Kardashian in response to Wolf Blitzer’s disruptive brunch interruption before we conclude our discussion.
