NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” brutally ridiculed Joe Biden’s advanced age and his administration’s obvious gaslighting over his cognitive decline during its latest cold open.
The SNL sketch began with a parody of CNN’s “Inside Politics” with Dana Bash, played by Heidi Gardner discussing Biden’s mental gaffes with Michael Longfellow playing California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).
“I understand that people care about the president’s age, but what they should care about is his record. Look at what Joe Biden has done for America. He’s created more jobs than any president in history. Inflation is down. The Shamrock Shake is back and Beyoncé has gone country. Thank you, Joe,” Longfellow’s Newsom said.
“Dana, he — Joe can do it better. I was just with him and behind closed doors, Joe is incredible. Yesterday we had a big meeting about the border and God, he had such command,” Longfellow said. “He had charts, tables, PowerPoints, he had an interactive AR display on the Apple Vision Pro – that he programmed himself. The software might be in beta but the man — he’s in alpha.”
When “Bash” poined out Biden’s nickname “Sleepy Joe”, Longfellow replied, “Well he has to sleep Dana!” before adding that “even when he’s sleeping, he’s on.”
“The other day he was taking a nap and I whipped a baseball at him and he caught it like De Niro in ‘Awakenings.’ Lightning quick,” Longfellow said.
The scene cut to Ego Nwodim playing White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, where she showed Biden’s schedule of speed chess, soul cycling, and winning a pushup contest.
“Hello Dana, pleasure to be with you to talk about the most vigorous man I’ve ever known, Joe Biden,” Nwodim said, which was met with a “Really?” from Gardner’s Bash.
“Absolutely. I was just with him and behind closed doors, he’s a whirlwind,” Nwodim said.
The sketch also included Marcello Hernández playing Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, who described “dynamo” Biden’s trip to the southern border last week.
“This weekend we both went down to the border town in Brownsville, Texas. And Joe went into beast mode,” Hernández claimed. “He said we’re going to tighten this border. Look how easy I can cross it. Then he parkoured up to the top of the border wall, pro-flipped into the Rio Grande and came back up with a fish in his mouth. But you didn’t report that because it doesn’t fit your little narrative.”
The real Alejandro Mayorkas and CNN anchor Dana Bash responded to the SNL bit Sunday, where the DHS Secretary only doubled down claiming Biden was “remarkably detail-oriented” and “probing.”
“There’s a reason they did a whole thing about Joe Biden’s age. Did you want to add a real statement about what you witnessed?” Bash asked him.

Mayorkas replied, “I think they should spend a bit of time with Joe Biden like I have done.”
“I prepare a lot for meetings with him and engagements with him because he’s remarkably detail-oriented, probing, and operationally focused,” he added.
It’s difficult to distinguish parody from reality these days when it comes to Biden and his regime, but his cognitive decline has become so obvious that SNL, a routine defender of Democrats and their causes, couldn’t help but pile on.
