♪♪ IS WE WERE ALL ON THE EDGE OF OUR >> Sheletta: EVERYBODY WAITED.

WE WERE ALL ON THE EDGE OF OUR SEATS.

WE KNEW THE AMAZING MAYA RUDOLPH WOULD PLAY KAMALA HARRIS ON "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" DURING POLITICAL SKITS.

BUT WHO WOULD THEY CHOOSE TO BE TIM WALZ?

JIM GAFFIGAN DID THE HONORS AND HONEY, HE NAILED IT.

HE MADE THE LAND OF 10,000 LAKES LOOK GOOD ON NATIONAL TV, I TELL YOU.

BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT WHILE I WAS IMPRESSED WITH GAFFIGAN’S IMPERSONATION OF COACH WALZ, I HAVE A BONE TO PICK WITH THE SNL WRITERS.

MM-HMM.

THEIR JOKES WERE GOOD, DON’T GET ME WRONG.

BUT LORNE MICHAELS SHOULD DO HIMSELF A FAVOR AND HIRE SOME MINNESOTA WRITERS IF HE’S GOING TO KEEP THE "BIG DAD ENERGY" JOKES COMING.

BECAUSE THOSE NEW YORKERS JUST DON’T KNOW A THING ABOUT US.

CASE IN POINT, THEY MADE A JOKE ABOUT MENARDS HAVING A SALE.

10% OFF, THEY SAID.

HA!

MENARDS AIN’T NEVER HAD 10% OFF ANYTHING, IT'S ALWAYS 11%.

THEN THEY TRIED TO SAY GOVERNOR WALZ SHOPS AT COSTCO TO BUY CLOTHES, WHEN WE KNOW GOOD AND WELL ANY SELF-RESPECTING MINNESOTA MAN BUYS HIS SUITS AT MILLS FLEET FARM.

THEY JOKED THAT TIM WALZ TOOK THE JOB AS KAMALA HARRIS’ RUNNING MATE BECAUSE HE WAS A TEACHER AND NEEDED THE MONEY.

THAT AIN’T THE CASE.

BECAUSE WE DO RIGHT BY OUR TEACHERS HERE IN MINNESOTA SO, SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE PRODUCERS, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

AND I KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN SOLVE IT FOR YOU.

YOU NEED A MINNESOTA COMEDY WRITER.

AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT I AM A MINNESOTA COMEDY WRITER.

CALL ME UP OFF THE BENCH.

I'VE GOT A NOTEBOOK FILLED WITH YOU-BETCHA ONE-LINERS AND HILARIOUS HOTDISH STORIES.

PUT ME IN TO WRITE JOKES FOR COACH, LORNE MICHAELS.

I’M READY TO PLAY TODAY.

CAUSE THE WRITERS YOU GOT NOW, THEY ARE DOING IT ALL WRONG.

THEY HAD TIM WALZ DOING THE MACARENA IN THAT OPENING SCENE LAST WEEK WHEN I HAVE IT ON GOOD AUTHORITY THAT HIS FAVORITE DANCE MOVE IS THE BUMP.
