I live in his district in the east Village. He’s been in the neighborhood for a long time. I’ve met him. He is a genuinely genuinely (yes 2x) good guy and really cares about the quality of life of regular working people. I hope he rises in the ranks of politics because we really need people like him in positions of power 👍
@@glennbramd7213So many Trump supporters put Hillary’s name out there, turning the whole thing into a joke, ignoring that Epstein was in the custody of the federal prison system, run by Trump and Barr at the time while Hillary had no power at all. No matter what, they will never change their mind.
Dude...this has crossed my mind a thousand times bc I went to school with a really nice kid named Dan Schneider and he wouldn't harm anyone ever. Just a sweet farm boy :)
@jpro9522 I never watch the political sketches because of their known bias. However the non-political sketches have been 10/10 for the last 6 months, they really found a new groove.
The real Harvey Epstein seems to be very stand-up dude representing his district, and actually fight for those issues like affordable housing. It this brings more publicity, I think that is good thing.
Me: Surely this guy can't actually be real, can he? *Types on laptop* Me: Oh, he is! My heart goes out to you, Harvey Epstein. Good luck on the campaign.
@@ellengrace4609Running unopposed for re-election to the state assembly. I do think he has an opponent in the city council race that’s happening next year, though. I might be wrong.
That's what makes it funnier (and most likely will make this sketch go viral). At first, the joke seems like "The guy has an unfortunate name," but now it's "The guy has an unfortunate name and is a real person who has had to deal with it since 2017 or thereabouts".
We got a guy running for state representative around my area named Brad Christ so seeing signs in yards that say “Police for Christ” is pretty funny like this was
Is he conservative? I think it’d be really funny if he wasn’t. The anger so many would feel! There was a local race in the more conservative part of California where the candidates had the opposite racial names. The white guy (R) had an Asian sounding name and the Asian guy (D) had a white sounding name. The democrat won. Both candidates figured it was the name. It was a safe R seat. FTR, the democrats seemed to have voted for the white guy. (I don’t want it to seem like I’m being partisan. It’s just honestly interesting!)
This skit wouldn't work so well if John didn't play it absolutely straight. You can just tell that Epstein (the good one) has already went through the first four stages of grief, and is now just permanently in the acceptance stage.
I accidentally woke my sleeping husband watching this sketch because i was giggling so hard. Frankly, this has not been an issue with SNL for a minute. My bleary eyed lightly confused husband applauds y'all.

Which one?
He's still on his first chance!
did you get to meet jlaw?
"Let's not call it that maybe" lol.
My favorite part is when he stands by and applauds when the skater does a little ollie.
that and the way he did the little air punch after helping toss out garbage
What an absolute ace the cast has produced tonight. Really wonderful stuff.
The host BYOS’d too, Bring Your Own Sketches
This episode was garbage bordering on slander
These segments were great! Easily one of the better SNL episodes.
Something happened to SNL in the last 6 months, it's like they rediscovered something essential. I think the new writers finally found their groove

Truth really is stranger than fiction.

1:29 Even the closed captioning said Mohawk Valley Minors instead of Miners. 😂
1:25 they’re cleaning spray paint off his political signs

That's probably unscripted.
"Harvey I can almost handle, but Epstein - this thing is an albatross."

This is absolutely fucking hilarious and John Mulaney's acting makes this all the better.
Brian Epstein was a great Band Manager!! He managed The BEATLES From 1961 to 1967!!
As an Illinois native, i remember thinking this when Barack's full name was on yard signs when he was just running for state office
At least he’s for tenants rights 👍
He was a tenant attorney and represented tenants on the Rent Guidelines Board for years before running for office too!
Every time i see one of his signs i have to stop and take a picture
So simple and like it’s like in front of you … this skit is literally gold 😂😂 😆👌👍
I mean, he addresses the elephant in the room, which is his name
This has to be one of the funniest SNL political bits !!!! It's even funnier when you watch the actual ad from Harvey Epstein
Don't see why this is an issue, his name is just a minor problem.
“If you’re explaining, you’re losing.” - President Reagan
And Harvey won! Imagine that!
That ending bit has incredibly Ryan George vibes, and I love that.
