Beyond these bigger political players, Season 50 cast member Andrew Dismukes has portrayed news anchor David Muir at rallies and Chloe Fineman has introduced political sketches as CNN reporter Kaitlin Collins. “Despite repeated offers from the Harris campaign, Donald Trump has officially refused to appear in another debate, saying, quote, ‘It’s not because I’m scared, so don’t tell people I’m scared.’ However, there was one format in which President Trump was willing to face off against Harris. We take you live to that now,” Fineman explains at the beginning of this season’s “Family Feud” cold open.
Since Season 50 premiered on September 28, these political sketches have kept the nation laughing through the emotional rollercoaster of a presidential election cycle. For even more laughs, read on to find out everything else you need to know to watch the 2024 SNL Election Special.
