Fred Armisen needs to work on his Obama. He has the same delivery as him, but thats about it.
At first I wasn’t convinced that Hammond did a good McCain, but he was hilarious here!

I thought the debate segment was pretty funny, and for once, not particularly mean. They captured both men’s idiosyncrasies well, but kept it fairly lighthearted. I was bored to tears during the Weekend Update, though.

I loved how they did McCain with his high shoulders and square arms. He always looks like he’s gonna just bust into doing the ‘Robot’!!

The Obama guy is dead on with the way he talks, I think he was great. The McCain guy didn’t move around enough while talking though.

Rhonda’s comment cracked me up. HA! ‘McCain’ dosey-do’ing- in the background while ‘Obama’ was speaking was hilarious. SNL’s doing alright!

Funny, but could have been more funny. They practically wrote their own sketch when doing the actual debate… and the snl writers missed so many funny parts.

McCain’s wandering was good, though.

This is HILARIOUS. I am so glad to see SNL make a big come back and revive their ratings! The constant wandering of John McCain all over the damn stage bothered me SO MUCH when watching the debate on Tuesday!!! LOOOVE these SNL skits, “my friends”!

I think weekend update has been really funny so far this season. I wonder who is taking over for Amy when she leaves?

I thought it was great, especially the debate portion – and I was just thrilled to watch some semblance of SNL while I wasn’t struggling to stay awake!
