Saturday Night Live is going all out to celebrate its 50-year anniversary, which happens to be coinciding with the chaotic, coconut-pilled, brat-coded 2024 presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
A feature story celebrating this phenomenal milestone for the NBC sketch comedy show created by Lorne Michaels in 1975 features the series' current 'Weekend Update' anchors, Colin Jost and Michael Che, dressed up in Harris and Trump drag, respectively.
While it's obvious that SNL is a comedy show intended to make people laugh — not a fashion and/or beauty series dedicated to visually accurate impersonations — this particular cover of Jost and Che dressed as Harris and Trump is giving very low-effort for a show that, two weeks ago, won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Hairstyling, as well as an Emmy Award for Outstanding Makeup, over drag-centric Variety, Nonfiction, or Reality Programs such as HBO's We're Here and Shudder's The Boulet Brothers' Dragula.
And as expected, people on the internet are… well, reacting!
The comments section of this Instagram post isn't looking cute, either. Replies range from "It's so meh :(" to "Great… more SNL cheap political humor" to a GIF that reads, "Wow, okay."
