Shamelessly pro-Harris “cold open” sketch that was ridiculously unfair to Bret Baier. The premise of the sketch is that Baier was constantly interrupting Harris’ attempts to answer his questions. Wrong. Baier was interrupting Harris’ attempts to NOT answer his questions. When Bret asks a question that lends itself to a simple, direct answer, and Harris responds by filibustering with non sequiturs about Donald Trump, Bret is supposed to let her get away with it? Yes, according to SNL. Of course, we’d expect no less from a garbage show like SNL and a truly nasty POS like Alec Baldwin .
This skit was not designed to be comedy. It was a serious effort to rehabilitate Harris’s image in the wake of her sinking poll numbers.
