Mitt Romney Fires His Breakfast On SNL
Last week on Saturday Night Live we heard from surprise second place primary finisher Rick Santorum, and this week New Hampshire primary winner Mitt Romney kicked off the show with a personal message to voters from “Jim-Bob’s kitchen,” a diner in South Carolina. The sketch was predicated on Romney’s total inability to engage in the folksy patter that voters like to see from their presidential candidates, and his tendency to instead do things like make offensive assumptions about people’s ages! Despite taking care to mention details like that of his “human sons,” Romney’s attempt to explain away his “I like firing people” gaffe was unsuccessful…mostly because it didn’t make much sense.
The writing for Santorum’s cold open felt stronger to me, and this sketch got boring fast (also, Jason Sudeikis really seemed to be phoning it in). Although it is Mitt Romney, so perhaps that was the point? Well played, SNL.
You can watch the full sketch here via NBC:
