Finally, Saturday Night Live remembers the “Live from New York” of it all and addressed the mayoral race. It was a cameo-palooza during the cold open November 1, with Ramy Youssef playing Zohran Mamdani and Shane Gillis as Curtis Sliwa. And the host came out pre-monologue, which is quite rare. Miles Teller played Andrew Cuomo, perhaps because he wanted to do even more Italian jokes than were in the sketch devoted entirely to Italian jokes later in the evening.
The SNL versions of the mayoral candidates were much more forthcoming than their irl counterparts: Teller’s Cuomo copped to copping a feel, Youssef’s Mamdani admitted his plans for New York may face pushback, and …actually Gillis’ Sliwa had about the same level of candor as the real deal. The party got crashed by Trump (James Austin Johnson) bragging about his MRI and floating becoming Mayor of NY/Phantom of the Opera.
