This is one subject that Saturday Night Live can never spend too much time mocking IMHO, and that's the several hour long debacle that manages to make even the rest of cable "news" look good by comparison, Fox & Friends. Their cold open began with the group opining over President Obama calling NBA player Jason Collins, who just came out, a hero -- and if you are unfortunate enough to actually watch any of Fox's programming, it's sadly not too far off from the carping from the talking heads on that network.

They then moved onto whether New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg might have any luck with pushing for more gun control regulation and whether everyone in the country is ready to listen to a "northeastern Jewish billionaire" on the topic -- and they had the crew mocking him for his attempted large soda ban.

There's enough material on Fox every day that Saturday Night Live could make an entire hour out of all of their programming and not just mocking Fox & Friends. For that matter, if anyone wanted to devote an entire network to mocking them -- they would never run out of material as well. There are so many things wrong with the crap that network pumps out on a daily basis that the list is endless.

Sadly, that would mean subjecting someone to watching them 24/7 first to come up with the material, and I wouldn't wish that punishment on anyone.

SNL opened up their show with, what else, but a spoof of the vice presidential debate from this week-- with Jason Sudekis (Biden) squaring off against Taran Killam (Ryan), complete with all the snarky facial expressions, constant laughing by Biden, lots of water gulping by Ryan and a moderator, Kate McKinnon (Raddatz) who wasn't going to put up with the same treatment Jim Lehrer received during the first presidential debate.

Saturday Night Live had their former "Barack Obama," Fred Armisen do the the hand off by giving the introductions in this skit, and although I think the newest member of their cast to take on the role of the President has a way to go in the being funny department, it's definitely an improvement over Armisen, who I didn't think was particularly funny and did a bad impersonation on top of that.

I guess we'll see how the character develops as the season goes on. I did enjoy Jason Sudeikis as the out of touch Romney and President Obama's "secret weapon" on the campaign trail and that they hit Ryan for being willing to lie about everything and anything as well.
