[ open on Hofstra University, Hempstead, New York ]

[ dissolve to Candy Crowley ]

Candy Crowley: Good evening, from Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. I’m Candy Crowlety, from “CNN: State of the Union”. Welcome to the Second Presidential Debate. Tonight’s debate is a Town Hall, and our audience’s 82 undecided voters are from the Long Island area, with questions based on the severity of their accents. Their questions are known to me and my team only. Neither the commission nor the candidates have seen them, and, in some cases, it will seem as though the person asking the question is also seeing it for the first time. With that out of the way, please welcome President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney.

[ the two candidates enter the stage and shake hands ]

Candy Crowley: Gentlemen, welcome. Governor Romney, you own the coin toss, so the first question goes to you, and it comes to us from a shaky extra from the film “A Bronx Tale”.

Jeremy Blaustein: Uh… hi! Hi! Hello, hi. Uh — I’m a 38-year old college student, and all I ever hear is, uh, how I’m never gonna get a job. You know? I hear it from everybody! Professors, and neighbors, and friends, and, uh, bus drivers, you know? Uh, I hear it from passersby, you know? My parents tell me, “Jeremy, you lousy so-and-so!” — You know? — “You’re NEVER gonna amount to NOTHIN’!” — You know? — “Why’d you have to be BORN?!” [ he chuckles nervously ] I don’t have a good answer, so-so-so my question is: “Could one of you please promise to give me a job… so my parents get off my back?”

Mitt Romney: Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Well… that’s a, uh, terrific question, Jeremy. And it’s a question that’s being asked ALL over America today. Now, the President claims that unemployment is dropping!

President Barack Obama: It is.

Mitt Romney: Well, uh — hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey! you’l get your turn, pal, okay? I go first, because I won the coin toss! So…

President Barack Obama: That was LUCK!

Mitt Romney: Luck? No, no, no, no, no! No, winning a coin toss has NOTHING to do with luck, my friend!

President Barack Obama: [ jumping to his feet ] Let’s get something straight RIGHT NOW! I’m NOT your friend!

Mitt Romney: Yeah, and I’m not yours, wither, Sparky! Okay? By the way, uh — what’s your salary as President?

President Barack Obama: $400,000! $400,000, yeah! I mean, what’s it to you?!

Mitt Romney: $400,000? Huh! $400,000. Yeah, that’s what I pay my cats! Okay. Now, uh, why don’t you go sit down before I beat you to death with my paycheck, alright?

Candy Crowley: Okay. Gentlemen, please, let’s try and keep this thing civil.

Mitt Romney: Yeah, well — HE started it!

Candy Crowley: Okay. Our next question is —

Mitt Romney: No, no, wait a minute! Hold on! Wait, wait, wait! Candy, I think I get to say four more things.

Candy Crowley: I’m sorry, Governor Romney…

Mitt Romney: Candy, Candy, Candy! Come on, now — FOUR more things, real quick. The rules say!

Candy Crowley: No, the rules do not

Mitt Romney: Candy, Candy, please! Candy, what are you doing? Alright? THREE more things, and one more additional thing. That’s it, four things.

Candy Crowley: Mr. Romney — No! Now please step back away from my desk!

President Barack Obama: Candy is he bothering you?

Candy Crowley: I’m fine, Mr. President. Our next question is from Eugene Picanzi, and it’s for the President.

Eugene Picanzi: Yeah, hi. How you doin’? How you doin’? Okay! Here we go! Gas prices are a little high, if you ask me. So, uh… how come you don’t do nothin’ about that? Alright, thank you!

President Barack Obama: Well, uh, obviously, Eugene, we, uh, need to do everything we can to become energy-independent.

Mitt Romney: Oh, really? Well, then, why have you cut drilling permits on federal land by HALF?

President Barack Obama: That’s not true!

Mitt Romney: Well, so how much did you cut?

President Barack Obama: Not true!

Mitt Romney: You didn’t cut anything? You’re not going to cut anything?

President Barack Obama: I’m about to cut you!

Mitt Romney: [ jumping to his feet ] Oh, I’d like to see that! I’d like to see that! Huh?

President Barack Obama: Look — this isn’t Colorado any more, Governor. Okay? This is sea level!

Mitt Romney: Alright, okay. Mr. President, if you don’t mind, I’d like to answer Eugene’s very thoughtful question about gas prices. Then, after that, it’s you and me outside!

President Barack Obama: Oh, really, old man?

Mitt Romney: Yeah, that’s right! That’s right! Just the two of us, no Secret Service, okay?

President Barack Obama: In that case, you’d better bring, uh, your Mormon magic underpants — AND your wife’s dancing horse! Because, Blondie, when I play, I play for KEEPS!

[ Tagg Romney rises from the audience, his fist clenched ]

Tagg Romney: Let me at him, Dad!

Mitt Romney: No, no, no! Come on, sit down, Tag, alright? Not now!

Candy Crowley: Gentlemen, really — this is SO inapropriate.

Mitt Romney: Candy, Candy, he started it, you know?

Candy Crowley: Okay, okay… Governor Romney, what would you do about the price of gas?

Mitt Romney: Well, HERE’S where we have to look at what this president’s already done. Right? This is a president who’s made it harder… for U.S. oil companies to drill. Okay? He brought criminal action against an oil company in North Dakota because 25 BIRDS were killed. 25! Well, let me promise you that, as your president, I will NEVER care how many birds are killed! You can kill 250 birds! You can kill 2500 birds! If it brings gas prices down ONE cent… I would personally stalk, capture and strangle EVERY bird in this great land — except eagles!

President Barack Obama: What Governor Romney just said is simply not true!

Mitt Romney: [ growling ] Ohhhh, I want to FIGHT you!!

President Barack Obama: Any time, Casper! Any time!

Mitt Romney: So bad!

Candy Crowley: Governor Romney, I want to remind you that threatening the life of the president is a federal crime, punishable by ten years of imprisonment. Okay?

Mitt Romney: I got it.

Candy Crowley: And for your part, Mr. President, threatening a former governor of Massachusetts is a Class B misdemeanor, and it’s involving a fine of no less than $50 and no more than $150.

President Barack Obama: Understood.

Candy Crowley: Okay. However, if you do wish to threaten the life of a former Massachusetts governor, the license fee is $8 a year.

President Barack Obama: Cool!

Candy Crowley: Our next queston is from Theresa Cucinelly, and it is for Governor Romney.

Theresa Cucinelly: Governor Romney. You promised to eliminate some tax deductions. The mortgage deduction. The charitable deduction. The child tax credit. And the, um… oh, my God! What’s the other? This is so embarrassing!

President Barack Obama: Uh — you’re doing great.

Theresa Cucinelly: Okay… okay… [ she pulls out a note card ] and “Pizza Bagels.” That’s a grocery list.

President Barack Obama: Still doing great.

Theresa Cucinelly: [ grabbing another note card ] Uh — “Iceland Avenue to Souhern Park West.” No. Those are directions.

President Barack Obama: You’re doing a little less great.

Theresa Cucinelly: [ grabbing another note card ] Here it is. It’s, uh… it’s Education. So please answer that!

Mitt Romney: Uh, well, Denise… uh… Denise, my economic plan is a simple one. It’s a 5-point plan that we can ALL get behind.

President Barack Obama: You know, uh, Governor Romney keeps mentioning this 5-point plan, but where is it? Uhhhh, I mean what are these five points?

Mitt Romney: Oh! Oh, you want to see them? Okay, here you go. [ he holds up his hand and forms a fist ] Here’s one, two, three, four, five. Right here — BAM! That’s my plan!

President Barack Obama: Well… I got a one-point plan for you. Want to see it? Uh, here it is! [ he holds up his hand and slowly raises his middle finger ]

Candy Crowley: President Obama! President Obama! Put your finger down.

President Barack Obama: And the best thing about my plan is you can sit on it AND spin!

Candy Crowley: Mr. President, please! Governor Romney, you, too. You’re setting a terrible example for this audience, and these people are VERY impressionable! [ whispering ] They’re from LONG ISLAND!

President Barack Obama: Okay!

Mitt Romney: He started it!

Candy Crowley: Very well. Uh — now, uh — let’s see. The next question comes from Dominic Fonte, and it’s also for Governor Romney.

Dominic Fonte: [ opening wadded up piece of paper ] Governor Romney. A few minutes ago, you said you would like to kick President Obama’s ass.

Candy Crowley: Okay. Oh, boy. Here we go.

Dominic Fonte: Okay? Well, how about if I kicked your asses instead? How would THAT be? Huh?!

Mitt Romney: Oh, you’re welcome to TRY, Tubby!

Candy Crowley: This is exactly

Mitt Romney: How about if I put you on a schedule for a BEATDOWN?! How about that, huh?

Dominic Fonte: Oh, ho ho! You got NOTHING! You’re a PUNK! I’ll kick YOUR ass… and then I’ll kick the PRESIDENT’s ass!

Candy Crowley: Okay. Wait, wait, wait… Now, why do you want to kick the ass of both Governor Romney and the President?

Dominic Fonte: Uh — I don’t know. I’m undecided?

Candy Crowley: Okay. Our next question comes from Lisa Goldstein. Lisa?

Lisa Goldstein: I was wondering what either one of you would do to keep dangerous assault weapons, like AK-47s, off the streets?

Mitt Romney: Uhhh… nothing.

President Barack Obama: I would also do nothing.

Candy Crowley: Good. Very well. Okay. Moving on — we’ve reached our final question for the night, and this is from Kerry Lapkis.

[ in the audience, Kerry is waving to the camera while speaking into his cellphone ]

Kerry Lapkis: I’m waving. Can you see me? Can you see me, I’m waving. I’m waving. Can you see me? You can?! Hey!

Candy Crowley: Mr. Lapkis. Mr. Lapkis, please.

Kerry Lapkis: Okay… okay. Okay, this question actually comes from a brain trust of my friends at Global Telecm Supply, and it’s, uh… [ he rabs a microphone and holds it right up to his mouth ] This isreally a terrific question! [ he unfolds a tiny sheet of paper ] Can I just say, by way of a warning… you’d better buckle your seat belts! ‘Cause this question is about to blow your mind! [ he opens the sheet, removes and replaces his glasses, and flips the sheet all around ] “Libya.”

President Barack Obama: You know, uh, I’m glad you brought Libya up. You know? Because Governor Romney wants to politicize Libya… [ Romney shoves Obama ] In the same way he wants to politicize my handling of the economy! [ Romney reaches over and tries to grab Obama’s microphone ] Governor Romney wants to politicize things so much, that sometimes it makes me feel like he and I are both politicians. [ Romney smacks Obama on the forehead ] You got a problem?!

Mitt Romney: Yeah, yeah, I got a problem! I want to know why it took you so long to call the attack in Benghazi a TERRORIST attack!

President Barack Obama: I said that THE DAY AFTER!

Mitt Romney: No, you didn’t!

President Barack Obama: Yes, I did!

Mitt Romney: No, you didn’t!

President Barack Obama: Yes, I did!

Mitt Romney: No, no! In fact, I would be willing to bet, here and now, that you have NEVER in your life, even ONCE, used the phrase “Terrorist Act”!

President Barack Obama: Uh, get the transcript! Get it!

Candy Crowley: Governor, he has, in fact, used the phrase “Terrorist Act”.

Mitt Romney: Candy, no. No, no, no, Candy. Come on! [ he steps closer ]

Candy Crowley: Yeah. I’m afraid he did.

Mitt Romney: Candy, please. Candy.

[ Obama steps forward, stares at Romney and drops his microphone to the floor. He then wipes the dust from his shoulders. ]

Mitt Romney: Ohhh, Candy. Oh, Candy, come on!

Candy Crowley: And that concludes tonight’s debate. From all of us here at Hofstra University, thank you, and “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Niiiiiight!”

Li Hai…..Cecily Strong
Mashu Quin…..Nasim Pedrad
Shu Chow…..Fred Armisen

Caitlin Owens: Hello. Welcome to “Tech Talk”. I’m your host — Caitlin Owens. And today’s topic: The iPhone 5 and its plethora of glitches and design flaws. Joining me today are Josh Savage, of C-Net…

Josh Savage: [ smugly ] Thanks for having me!

Caitlin Owens: Adrienne Terzoli, from Wired Magazine…

Adrienne Terzoli: [ haughtily ] Hi!

Caitlin Owens: And Dennis Metcalf, from Gizmodo.

Dennis Metcalf: [ frog-voiced ] It’s great to be here.

Caitlin Owens: Great! Josh, we’ll start with you. What are your complaints about the iPhone 5?

Josh Savage: Well, Caitlin, everyone knows that Apple Maps has been a total disaster… and since there’s no Google Maps app yet, I’ve been forced to use Google Maps in my browser… which is significantly slower.

Caitlin Owens: Ugh! What a NIGHTMARE! Adrienne?

Adrienne Terzoli: I’m just upset about the camera. Every time I point it straight at the sun, there’s a very slight, purplish hue in all of my photos! What is that?!

Caitlin Owens: Exactly! It’s… unacceptable! Dennis?

Dennis Metcalf: Well, the bottom line is… it’s just too light. I mean, I know we asked for a phone that was lighter and thinner, but… this is ridiculous! I mean, I feel like I’m holding three pieces of paper that are stapled together — not a Smartphone!

Caitlin Owens: Wow… that must be so hard to deal with.

Dennis Metcalf: It’s a real struggle. I mean, whoever built these iPhones, I don’t know what they were thinking!

Caitlin Owens: Let’s ask them. Joining us now are three peasant laborers from the factory in China where these iPhones were manufactured.

Dennis Metcalf: [ his eyes grow wide ] Say what?

Caitlin Owens: Please welcome Mashu Quin, Li Hai, and Shu Chow. [ the frowning peasants are revealed ] Thanks for joining us.

Shu Chow: Hi.

Mashu Quin: good to see you.

Li Hai: This should be fun.

Dennis Metcalf: Can I leave?

Caitlin Owens: No, you may not!

Josh Savage: Can we withdraw all our earlier complaints?

Caitlin Owens: Absolutely not, this is a trap! So, Mr. Chow — Josh here was just complaining about… Apple Maps.

Josh Savage: [ worried ] Uh — uh — uh, it wasn’t really a complaint

Shu Chow: Ohhhhh. Talk about Apple Map. It won’t work, right? It take you to wrong place? You want Starbuck, it take you to Dunkin Donut? That must be… so hard for you!

Li Hai: Oh, yeah. You want Macy, it take you to J.C. Penney? Ohhhh! How you deal with that?

Mashu Quin: Oh! I guess we just lucky, you know, we don’t need map. You know, because we sleep where we work? Yeah, but thank you for pointing out problem.

Josh Savage: I-I-I-I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry.

Caitlin Owens: And you guys were complaining a lot about the apps, right? That they were loading too slow?

Josh Savage: Oh, no…

Dennis Metcalf: No, no, no…

Adrienne Terzoli: They’re wonderful!

Shu Chow: Uh-oh! Your apps run too slow? You can’t play Angry Bird? Yeah, I have an angry bird, too — a chicken in a factory tried to steal my LUNCH!

Li Hai: Ohhh, Twitter run too slow? You can’t read Kardashian tweet about handbag? My brother have handbag, too — he lose hand, keep it in BAG until he can afford to re-attach!

Adrienne Terzoli: We didn’t mean to offend you. There were just some bugs with the new phone.

Shu Chow: Oh! You upset with bug? They’re too many bug in phone, yeah? I sleep in communal bunk bed with HUNDRED stranger! Lice are BEST bug I get! Lice are BEST!

Caitlin Owens: Here’s a quote from your web site, Josh!

Josh Savage: Oh, please don’t read that! please don’t read that!

Caitlin Owens: It says: “I can’t believe I waited six hours in lnie for this piece of crap.”

Shu Chow: Oh! Oh, you wait in line for six hours! That sounds tough! One time, she wait in line twenty-one days for a baby forumla!

Mashu Quin: You know, food to feed baby?

Shu Chow: So very similar, yes!

Dennis Metcalf: Look, we’re sorry, okay? It’s just, the iPhone 4 seemed to work better?

Shu Chow: Hey, you know what? We are being unfair. There are legitimate problem with new iPhone. So, go ahead — make complaint.

Dennis Metcalf: You sure?

Shu Chow: Sure! Go ahead! We all friends!

Dennis Metcalf: Okay, um… well… the casing scratches very easily…

[ suddenly, Li Hai is playing a sad lament on a skinny violin ]

Shu Chow: Do you mind? Li Hai going to play sad Chinese violin from New York subway while you complain… and Mashu Quin going to perform traditional sarcastic dance. [ Mashu Quin stands to perform her dance ] Go ahead!

Dennis Metcalf: [ ashamed ] Uh — You know what? Uh — I think I’d rather just stay quiet.

Shu Chow: That’s a good idea, Einstein! Okay, we’re done shaming him now.

Caitlin Owens: And, finally — would you guys like to complain about an American product?

Mashu Quin: Hmm…

Li Hai: Oh, that’s good question…

Shu Chow: Let’s see… what does America make? Let’s see… does diabetes count as a product? If not, we have to get back to you.

Caitlin Owens: Alright, let’s take a break! When we return, more humiliation on… “Tech Talk”!

Vice Presidential Debate

Martha Raddatz…..Kate McKinnon
Paul Ryan…..Taran Killam
Joe Biden…..Jason Sudeikis
…..Usain Bolt

[ open on Centre College — Thursday, October 11th, 2012 ]

Martha Raddatz: Good evening, and welcome to the first and only Vice-Presidential debate of 2012. I am Martha Raddatz of ABC News, and I’m honored to be here moderating tonight’s debate. We have a wonderful audience, and it should be… a LIVELY evening! [ she chuckles nervously ] Alright, now, we welcome Vice-President Joe Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan.

[ the two men step out, shake hands, and join Raddatz at the circular table ]

Martha Raddatz: Welcome, gentlemen, and, uh, a reminder that your performance tonight is extremely unlikely to affect the outcome of the election… so just have fun with it.

Paul Ryan: Okay!

Joe Biden: You bet! you bet!

Martha Raddatz: Uh, Congressman Ryan? We begin with your opening statements.

[ as Ryan talks, Biden makes faces on his side of the split-screen ]

Paul Ryan: Thank you. First of all… I want to thank Centre College for hosting us this evening.

Joe Biden: Oh, boy! Here we go! Oh, man!

Paul Ryan: Four years ago, President Obama made a promise…

Joe Biden: HA HA HA HA!!!

Paul Ryan: That he would bring down unemployment below 6%.

Joe Biden: Aw, this guy!

Paul Ryan: He said that by the end of his first term he would cut the deficit in HALF.

Joe Biden: Awwwwwwww!! [ he pounds the table ]

Paul Ryan: And yet, he still has not put a credible plan on the table on how to deal with the debt crisis.

Joe Biden: Okay, I’m sorry — Martha! Martha, Martha, with all due respect, this is a bunch of malarkey! This is malarkey!

Martha Raddatz: A bunch of “malarkey”?

Joe Biden: Yeah!

Martha Raddatz: What does that mean?

Paul Ryan: Uhhh — it’s Irish.

Joe Biden: Uhhh, no, no, no, no! Irish is I come over there and SMACK that dumb look off your face! That’s what that means!

Martha Raddatz: Hey! Do I sound like Jim Lehrer?

Joe Biden: No, no, no, no…

Martha Raddatz: And do I look like Jim Lehrer?

Joe Biden: No, you don’t.

Paul Ryan: No.

Martha Raddatz: Then don’t try to fuck me like I’m Jim Lehrer. Are we clear?

Paul Ryan: Absolutely.

Joe Biden: Yeah, absolutely. You got it.

Martha Raddatz: Good. Alright, the Number One issue here at home is jobs. My question to you both is: Can you get unemployment to under 6%, and how long will it take?

Paul Ryan: Martha… Vice-President Biden and I come from very similar places. I’m from Janesville, Wisconsin, and he’s from Scranton, Pennsylvania. Do you know what the unemployment rate is in Scranton right now?

Joe Biden: Sure do.

Paul Ryan: It’s 10%.

Joe Biden: Mmm-hmm.

Paul Ryan: And I just wonder what the Vice-President would say to the hard-working people in towns like Janesville and Scranton? [ he stares Biden down, then sips twice from his glass of water ]

Joe Biden: Well, I know what I’d say to my friend and the people of Janesville. Things may be bad where you live, but I guarantee you it is a PARADISE next to the burning coal heap that is Scranton, Pennsylvania! I mean, do you know that show “The Walking Dead”? It would make a good tourism ad for Scranton! I mean, if you went to the LOWEST circle of hell, you’d STILL be 45 minutes outside of Scranton! I grew up there! I love it! It’s the single worst place ON EARTH!!

Martha Raddatz: It seems many Americans are disenchanted with the political process and two parties who just can’t seem to work together. Is the era of bipartisanship over?

[ in the split-screen, Joe Biden swaps out his prosthetic teeth ]

Paul Ryan: Well… I would agree that the President and the Vice-President haven’t done the work to reach across the aisle. But I personally put together a bipartisan Medicare plan.

Joe Biden: Yeah, there’s no one Democrat who endorses it!

Paul Ryan: One partner is a Democrat from Oregon.

Joe Biden: No, he no longer supports it!

Paul Ryan: A former Clinton budget director.

Joe Biden: Who disavows it!

Paul Ryan: A Democratic congressman said he liked it!

Joe Biden: Yeah, he’s missing — he’s presumed DEAD! So… there’s that!

Paul Ryan: Mr. Vice-President, I know you’re under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground…

[ Biden guffaws boisteriously ]

Paul Ryan: But I think the people would be better served if you didn’t keep interrupting me.

Joe Biden: You don’t scare ME, Shark-Eyes! Alright?

Paul Ryan: Mr. Vice-President. [ he sips more water from his glass ]

Joe Biden: Hey, look — you think you’re tougher than me, because you do the P90X workout, huh? Because you’re younger than me? Let me tell you something, buddy — there is gym strong, and there’s OLD MAN strong! Okay? Do you want to know my workout? When the Amtrak breaks down on my morning commute, I strip down to my tighty whiteys… I push that BITCH all the way to Washington! That’s right! I’ll tell you what, man — I am MONKEY strong, brother! [ he makes monkey noises and laughs ]

Martha Raddatz: Congressman… the Romney-Ryan team has been criticized for not giving specifics on their economic plan. How do you respond to these charges?

Paul Ryan: Our economic plan is simple: We’re going to close loopholes, bring down tax rates, and erase the deficit.

Martha Raddatz: Can you please be more specific?

Paul Ryan: No. But let me say it again with hand gestures. When it comes to the loopholes… [ he makes a circle with his fist ] we are going to clo-o-ose them… [ he tightens his fist ] When it comes to tax rates… [ he holds up his hand ] we are going to bring them do-o-own. [ he lowers his hand ] And when it comes to the deficit… [ he holds out his hand ] we are going to erase it. [ he motions his hand like he’s erasing a chalkboard ]

Martha Raddatz: Congressman Ryan, I’ve just been told America’s small children would like you to stop looking directly into the lens. Apparently, they find it upsetting.

Paul Ryan: Oh! Understood.

Martha Raddatz: Okay. Moving on, the baseball Play-Offs are in full swing with four teams remaining — The Yankees, Tigers, Giants, and Cardinals. So, if you can, could you please speak personally about abortion?

Paul Ryan: About ten years ago, my wife, Janet, and I went to Mercy Hospital in Janesville for our seven-week ultrasound of our first-born child. Now, we saw a little baby that was in the shape of a bean, and to this day, we have nicknamed our first-born child “Bean”. We also nicknamed our second and third child “Bean”. I figured out later: That’s what all babies look like at seven weeks. They look like beans. [ Biden leans his head back in agony ] And the only thing I love more than beans… is babies.

Martha Raddatz: Vice-President Biden?

Joe Biden: Look, Martha — I’m a Catholic. I’m a real-world Catholic. Now, when it comes to church… I may not go every Sunday. But on Christmas Eve, I am FRONT ROW CENTER, singing “Joy to the World” as LOUDLY and as OFF-KEY as I can! [ Ryan sips from an oversized glass of water ] I ACCEPT the teachings of the Catholic Church, but then, like most Catholics, I ignore them and do what I want! Okay? Now… I feel kind of guilty about that, but, uh… yeah, whatever!

Martha Raddatz: Closing statements, Joe Biden?

Joe Biden: To our seniors, I want to say: Folks… who do you trust on this? [ in the split-screen, Ryan sips from a pet water bottle ] Alright, to our tropps, I want to say: Guys, gals — we honor your service. To the Afghan troops, who will soon take over the security of their own nation, I say: [ speaks foreign phrase ] And to the young people out there who worry that they’re never gonna see that Social Security they’re entitled to, I say: Don’t worry, homies! Big Daddy Joe’s got your back! [ he makes a series of gang gestures ] PEACE OUT!!

Martha Raddatz: And, Congressman Ryan?

Paul Ryan: Don’t let anyone tell you something’s impossible. Take it from me — not only have I run a sub-three minute marathon AND a sub-four minute mile… just this summer, with very little training, I competed in — and won — the Hundred Meters at the London Olympics.

Joe Biden: Aw, that’s not true!

Paul Ryan: Yes, it is true.

Joe Biden: No, it’s not!

Paul Ryan: If you don’t believe me, ask my running partner — Usain Bolt!

[ Usain Bolt appears and leans over Ryan’s shoulder ]

Paul Ryan: Usain? Please tell him who won the Hundred Meters.

Usain Bolt: I did.

Paul Ryan: You did?

Usain Bolt: Mmm-hmm.

Paul Ryan: And where did I finish?

Usain Bolt: You didn’t finish. You weren’t even there.

Paul Ryan: Thank you, Usain.

Weekend Update with Seth Meyers

…..Seth Meyers
Big Bird…..Carol Spinney
Cecilia Giminez…..Kate McKinnon

Announcer: “Weekend Update”, with Seth Meyers.

Seth Meyers: Good evening! I’m Seth Meyers, and here are tonight’s top stories.

Well, you have to hand it to Mitt Romney — because President Obama sure did.

Many political experts were surprised that during Wednesday’s debate, President Obama failed to mention Mitt Romney’s infamous 47% comment. Obama elected to take the high road, forgetting that that road leads to building houses with Jimmy Carter.

During Wednesday’s debate, Mitt Romney said that, even though he likes Big Bird, if elected, he would stop the subsidy to PBS. It’s a surprising threat, considering that “Mitt” is such an excellent Muppet name.

Romney went on to say that if elected, he would no longer borrow money from China to pay for PBS. China funds PBS? I guess that explains why this week’s “Sesame Street” was brought to you by the letter this: [ image: Chinese symbol ]

According to Nielson numbers, more than 70 million people watched Wednesday’s debate either on TV, online, or from one of the podiums.

Seth Meyers: The general consensus from Wednesday night’s debate was that Mitt Romney was the winner and Barack Obama was the loser. But there were other winners and losers that night — which means that it’s time for “Winners and Losers”!

[ title card appears ]

Loser: Moderator Jim Lehrer. He was like a ghost visiting a scene from his past life. “Hello? Mr. President? Governor Romney? Can’t anyone hear me?!” Just helplessly waving his arms, trying to get their attention — he looked like an out-of-towner trying to hail a cab at rush hour! When you’re dealing with two people who want to be the Most Powerful Man on Earth, you can’t sit ther stammering like Hugh Grant in a rom-com. [ stammering ] “Gentlemen, we absolutely… we must… we must move on!” Also, Jim — you gotta keep the guys to time. If that’s how long you think two minutes is, your wife is a lucky woman.

Winner: Fox News. When that thing ended, you guys must have looked at each other and said, “I think we can report this one exactly as it happened.” When I turned over to your post-debate coverage, I expected to see Sean Hannity getting a Gatorade shower!

Loser: Michelle Obama. It must be hard to watch your husband take a beating like that on your anniversary. You went in there thinking you were with Blaine… but you went home with Duckie.

Winner: “Downton Abbey”. Mitt Romney thinks we’re spending too much money on PBS, but he goes after Big Bird instead of you guys? Your set is the nicest house in ENGLAND! Big Bird has lived on the same city street for 43 years! He has friends who already live in garbage!

Winner: People with Pre-existing Medical Conditions. Romney defended his health care plan, claiming that, like ObamaCare, it will take care of you.

Loser: People with Pre-existing Medical Conditionsm because, you know… he’s not telling the truth!

Biggest Winner: AMERICA! Is there anything more exciting than Joe Biden thinking it’s up to him to get the lead back? It’s TiVo time! There’s, like, a 50% chance he’s gonna come out at the next debate with his shirt off! He’s probably covering himself with animal fat right now so he can make himself harder to grab!

Biggest Loser: Joe Biden’s staff. “Mr Vice-President, you have to take it down, like, a million per cent, and put your shirt back on!”

Announcer: [ over title slide ] This has been… “Winners and Losers”.

Seth Meyers: In an interview promoting his new tell-all, Arnold Schwarzenegger said his marriage to Maria Shriver fell apart because of him, and that he hopes to one day win her back. And what better way to win back her love back than to write a book about all the times you tricked her?

This Sunday marks the 5th annual New Jersey Zombie Walk. So if you see someone with dead, lifeless eyes trudging around New Jersey, ask them where you can find the Zombie Walk.

Seth Meyers: During the Presidential debate Wednesday night, Gov. Mitt Romney said he would end the subsidies to PBS, adding, “I like PBS. I like Big Bird.” Here now to comment — Big Bird! [ Big Bird appear to thunderous applause ] Here he is! Thank you for coming, Big Bird!

Big Bird: Well, thanks fo having me, Mr. Meyers! [ he yawns ]

Seth Meyers: Why are you yawning? Are you bored already?

Big Bird: No, no. It’s just that it’s, like, seven hours past my bedtime.

Seth Meyers: That’s okay, I should have thought of that. So, Big Bird — How did you find out your name had been mentioned in the debate?

Big Bird: Oh, I got a million Tweets.

Seth Meyers: Oh, okay! So you’re on Twitter?

Big Bird: No! I’m a bird! Tweeting is how we talk.

Seth Meyers: Okay!

Big Bird: Uh — What’s a Twitter?

Seth Meyers: Oh, uh — it’s kinda, like, hard to explain. I wouldn’t know how to, uh… go about it.

Big Bird: Oh, well, uh… ha ha! I was just kidding. I know what a Twitter is!

Seth Meyers: okay.

Big Bird: Sesame Street has Wi-Fi!

Seth Meyers: Oh, well! Thart’s a pretty big deal. So, Big Bird, has the mention at the debate affected you at all?

Big Bird: Oh, it has! I feel like I’m famous now. I was walking down the street the other day, and I felt like everybody recognized me!

Seth Meyers: Okay.

Big Bird: It’s so weird to think that just a few days ago, I could just blend in like every other perfectly normal 8-foot-tall talking bird.

Seth Meyers: Yeah, that must be very hard for you. So, before you go, do you have any political statement you’d like to make?

Big Bird: No. I-I don’t want to ruffle any feathers. But — but I do have a political joke. Can I tell it?

Seth Meyers: Yeah, of course!

Big Bird: Okay. [ he clears his throat ] You’re gonna love it!

Seth Meyers: I can’t wait!

Big Bird: Do you know who loves de-bates?

Seth Meyers: Who?

Big Bird: De-fishes!

Seth Meyers: Oh, yeah.

Big Bird: Yeah, ’cause fish eat bait!

Seth Meyers: Yeah, no — I get it.

Big Bird: It’s a thinker.

Seth Meyers: [ laughing ] It is a thinker! Big Bird, everyone!

Big Bird: Thank you!

Seth Meyers: So — so tall!

A growing number of dairy farmers in the Midwest are dealing with the rising price of corn by feeding their cows candy such as marshmallows and gummy worms. Of course, it’s a nightmare when it’s time to get those cows to go to bed. [ image: caffeineated cow ]

A new company has begun selling plaques for gravestones that contain QR codes, allowing visitors to the grave site to scan the code and be sent to a webpage about the deceased. Though I don’t think it’s a good idea for the webpage to have a comments section. [ image: words “R.I.P. Loser!” ]

The MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas has created a series of new “StayWell” rooms designed to promote a healthy way of living, including Vitamin infused showers, antimicrobial coatings on furniture and extra soundproofing. “I’ll take it!” said a murderer.

A new device is being tested that sends farmers a text message when their dairy cows are in heat. Disturbingly, the text reads “Hey, you up?”

Pennsylvania police arrested a woman who allegedly had hidden 36 glass vials of cocaine in her vagina. Police became suspicious when she walked by them and it sounded like someone adjusting a chandelier.

Veterinarians are saying they have seen a rise in the number of incidents of dogs being stoned in places where medical marijuana is legal. And there’s nothing sadder than a normally energetic dog just sitting there, staring at his own paw.

Seth Meyers: A woman from Borja, Spain, who some say ruined a famous painting, has hired a lawyer. Cecilia Giminez was asked to restore “Ecce Homo”, a painting of Jesus that started out like this… [ image of original painting ] and was repainted like this. [ image: altered painting ] And now she’s seeking a cut of the profits. Here to explain is the artist herself — Cecilia Giminez.

Cecilia Giminez: [ proudly ] Everybody love-a my painting! Now give me my money!

Seth Meyers: [ laughing ] Well, now, it wasn’t that your painting has been a hit, tourists from all over the world are coming to see it, making the Church tens of thousands of dollars… but most people would say that you ruined it.

Cecilia Giminez: I no ruin it! Here — [ she picks up her painting ] It look good! Why everybody so mad at me? Everybody so angry!Now I want-a my money! I have to buy-a wine!

Seth Meyers: [ laughing ] Okay, so I have to ask: Did someone give you permission to try and fix this painting in the first place?

Cecilia Giminez: Of course-a, Seth! I have-a permission from Jesus! It’s-a more ACCURATE now, Demon-Man!

Seth Meyers: Wait — you got permission from Jesus?

Cecilia Giminez: Yes! Seth Jesus, he came to me in a dream. And Jesus, he look at me with his-a enormous round-a monkey face. And-a poor Jesus, Jesus had-a broken his-a arm. And-a he was-a wrapped up in a little jelly-roll scroll.

Seth Meyers: Alright, so you’re saying Jesus looks like your painting?

Cecilia Giminez: Yes! Oh, Seth, he was-a so beautiful! He had-a beautiful hair, and it became a big-a scarf. It was a scarf made of hair, and it wrapped around his-a little brown, expressionless face. And then, he looked at-a me with-a dead, black eyes!

Seth Meyers: [ laughing ] He had black eyes?

Cecilia Giminez: I know, I know… I was surprised as you! It was such a rabid eye, Seth! I said, “Jesus, why you look like a shark?” And Jesus say, “I think it look cool!” I say, “Okay! They’re going to say I’m a bad painter, but okay!” And Jesus say — he give a little laugh, like this… [ she holds up her nose ] ‘Cause he cannot-a breathe, with his-a little nose. Between you and me, Seth, I think he had some work done. I don’t ask him, no, it’s not my place.

Seth Meyers: Have you ever painted before?

Cecilia Giminez: I paint-a all the time, Seth! I do a painting of you. You are so handsome!

Seth Meyers: Oh! Thank you!

Cecilia Giminez: You look-a like the most handsome man I see in so long! You’re-a tiny, pointy skunk nose…

Seth Meyers: No, no…

Cecilia Giminez: You-re-a melting eyes…

Seth Meyers: No, that doesn’t seem right to me…

Cecilia Giminez: Your entire moustache starts here, and it goes all the way up and-a around your head like a black aura, I see!

Seth Meyers: Yeah, the problem is you don’t even see things the same.

Cecilia Giminez: I already fixed you, Seth! Here you are! [ she holds up a painting that looks nothing like Seth ]

Seth Meyers: Oh, yeah. No, I don’t think that’s right.

Cecilia Giminez: Oh, it’s perfect, yes? Now give me my money!

Seth Meyers: Alright! Cecilia Giminez, everybody! For “Weekend Update”, I’m Seth Meyers! Good night!

Three Days Later: A Look Back at the Obama Debate Disaster

Rachel Maddow…..Cecily Strong
Al Sharpton…..Kenan Thompson
S. E. Cupp…..Kate McKinnon
Chris Matthews…..Jason Sudeikis

[Open on MSNBC title screen]

Announcer: We now return to the MSNBC special report, ‘Three Days Later: A Look Back At The Obama Debate Disaster’.

[Starwipe to set]

Rachel Maddow: Good evening. I’m Rachel Maddow. And tonight we try and pick up the pieces and make sense of Barack Obama’s performance, Wednesday’s debate. Or as we’re calling it at MSNBC, “The worst thing that ever happened anywhere”. [A title card beneath her reads ‘The Worst Thing That Ever Happened Anywhere’] Joining me tonight, the Reverend Al Sharpton.

Al Sharpton: I’ll never forget where I was the night of that debate. I was here.

Rachel Maddow: Our one conservative contributor, S. E. Cupp.

S. E. Cupp: [smiling widely] This has been the best week of my life.

Rachel Maddow: And joining us from outside the university of Colorado where he has refused to eat, shower, or sleep since the debate, Chris Matthews.

Chris Matthews: Eh, what the hell happened, I want answers!

Rachel Maddow: Reverend Sharpton, we’ll start with you. How do you think the president did?

Al Sharpton: Well, I think he did bad. But I would like now to make an excuse for why he was bad. You see, Obama was poisoned by the altitude. [A title card underneath him reads ‘Altitude Poisoning’] You see, Denver, Colorado is a mile high. Now, there is no way to know for sure how many feet that is. But it could be upwards of a million. Now, Obama’s from Hawaii, which is a mile below the earth. So for him, speaking at Colorado was like being flung two miles straight into the air then having to give a speech in outer space.

Rachel Maddow: Chris, were you disappointed in the president’s performance?

Chris Matthews: Disappointed? I’ve never been so disgusted in my life! I feel bad for whoever had to, you know, move the podiums afterwards because Obama took a giant dump behind his!

Rachel Maddow: That’s pretty harsh, Chris.

Chris Matthews: It’s true! He stunk! It’s one thing President Obama had nothing to say but why was he letting Governor Romney talk? Forgot the first rule of debating, always be interrupting! When I don’t have points to make on my show I make up for it by screaming at people! That’s how you win a debate!

Rachel Maddow: Well, Chris, I don’t know about that-

Chris Matthews: [Interrupting her] Bah bah bah bah bah, you’re wrong! See? Debate’s over, I win!

Rachel Maddow: Alright. S. E. Cupp, anything to add from the conservative perspective?

S. E. Cupp: No, Rachel, I’m happy to just listen and smile. I believe the term is gloating. [She does a small “raise the roof” motion.]

Al Sharpton: Uh, Rachel, if I may. I’ve come up with another excuse. Jet lag! Colorado is two time zones behind Washington. [A title card underneath him reads ‘”Two” Too Many’.] That makes it very hard for the internal clock to adjust. Also, Denver is in what’s known as the “western hemisphere”. So, say you need to go to the bathroom in Washington D.C. When you flush, the water goes clockwise. Whereas in Colorado, when you flush, the water shoots straight up your ass. It could throw a man off his game.

Rachel Maddow: I’ll admit it wasn’t the president’s best night but was Romney any better? I mean, why isn’t the media talking more about this classic Romney gaffe?

[A real clip of Mitt Romney speaking at the debate is played. He’s saying, “And say to a state ‘you’re gonna get what you got last year, plus infation- plation. Inflation.”]

Rachel Maddow: [A mocking smile] Uhh, talk much governor? Is it, is it “inflation” or “inplation”? Uhh, if so, what is “inplation”? Uh, let’s take another look. [They replay the “inflation” stumble in slow motion.] Not exactly presidential. And can we freeze frame it for a second? [It’s freeze framed on a particularly unflattering expression Romney is making.] Nice face, governor! I don’t know how they’re going to spin that one.

Al Sharpton: Uh, okay! I have a third, worse excuse. I believe that on the night of the debate, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama switched bodies. [A title card underneath him reads ‘Freaky Wednesday’.] Perhaps, and this is just a theory, perhaps they were exchanging pleasantries blackstage and Mitt said “Man, it’s not easy raising five boys.” And then Barack said, “You should try raising two girls.” And then they laughed and at the exact same time they said, “What I wouldn’t give to switch places.” Lightning strike! Just like that, Romney’s cool, Obama got no game.

Rachel Maddow: [Looks dumbfounded for a moment] Uh, moving forward. Any advice for Obama in his second debate, Chris?

Chris Matthews: Yeah! Stop being a pussy! You got pushed around for ninety minutes you need to make him fear you again! It’s time to go full blown Tyson! Show up in the next dab- in the next debate with a face tattoo! Not one of those subtle ones but one of these, one of these jobs, y’know? [He covers half his face with his hand] When he goes to shake your hand you bite his ear, you spit it on the ground, and you yell, “What are you gonna do, arrest me? I’m the president of the United States!”

Rachel Maddow: Al-alright, let’s take a break. When we return, a new segment called: ‘Is winning the election even that important’? The answer might surprise you.
