The United States is experiencing another divisive campaign season, but there may be one place where Americans can find calm and camaraderie: a vice presidential debate.

“Saturday Night Live” followed a historic 50th season premiere with more satire as Tuesday’s debate between vice presidential nominees Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, and Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota had plenty of moments who provided reason and consent to create a bromance-like peace among the potential enemies.

In the “SNL” game, rep Heidi Gardner played CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell, who introduced the vice presidents. “Let’s say hello to our vice presidential candidates and then say goodbye for the next four years,” she said.

Walz, played by comedian Jim Gaffigan, is a former teacher and high school football coach who was selected by Vice President Kamala Harris (Maya Rudoph) to be her Democratic running mate.

Walz was seen holding a stack of papers and asked if he was taking notes for the debate.

“I have to grade these papers,” said Walz stressed. “I have a stack of midterms.”

Vance (Bowen Yang) was asked by debate moderator Margaret Brennan (Chloe Fineman) how he would handle the crisis in the Middle East. “This is such an important question, Margaret.”, one that deserves a response,” he said.

Walz said he was the man with the answers – the simple answers. “I’m just going to say the word ‘basic’ a lot,” he said.

Asked if he still believes his candidate and former President Donald Trump is “America’s Hitler,” Vance said, “I meant that as a compliment.”

Walz interjected: “This guy is good – he has an answer for everything.”

“That’s nice,” Vance replied.

The couple soon discovered that they were compatible and perhaps even thought alike in some ways. “This is an area where we have a lot of common ground,” Vance and Walz said at the same time, realizing that both had to backtrack from previous statements.

A rendition of Berlin’s “Take My Breath Away” was played. Rudolph’s Harris tried spitting on her wine.

Harris, husband Douglas Emhoff (Andy Samberg) and President Joe Biden (Dana Carvey) were I watch the debate on television in disbelief. “Why do they vibrate?” said Rudolph’s Harris.

Walz took advantage of the remaining 10 seconds on the debate clock.

“I need to score some points here, so I’m just going to throw in a Hail Mary,” he said. “Senator, would you admit that Donald Trump lost the election?”

Vance replied, “You know, Tim, I’m focused on the future.”

“Boom,” Walz said, throwing his arms up to signal a touchdown. “That’s good!”

While touring the Harris household, Emhoff also declared victory, telling his wife, “We got the soundbite.”

He asked, “What do the pollsters say?”

Harris responded that it was “a great victory – it made no difference.”

Comedian Nate Bargatze hosted. Coldplay appeared as a musical guest.

“SNL” airs on NBC, a division of NBCUniversal, which is also the parent company of NBC News.
