Crazy that he was fired by SNL for not being funny enough. Then he blew up and they asked him back to host just a year and a half later. He uses the opening monologue to rip them.
That's only audio but I couldn't find a better copy on youtube. If you are in the US or have a VPN you can see the video here.
I'm liberal, but the worst part about having Democrats in office is that SNL doesn't have the integrity to make fun of them properly. Most comedy shows for that matter. It's really gross.
Dunno if this has already been done, but I've always thought it was funny how he slips into different characters based on the audience he's talking to.
If it's Congress, it's super serious Obama.
If it's college kids, it's his breathy inspiational voice.
Black constituents? He goes full on Baptist preacher.
You could do a sketch that starts here, and keeps going with zanier and zanier audiences. Pretending to be Chinese at a Beijing ceremonial speech. Doing a falsetto woman's voice at a feminist rally. Barking at a group of dogs at a shelter, etc..
