'SNL' opened Saturday night with a blistering skit about 3 extreme Republicans running for high office -- Herschel Walker, Dr. Oz and Kari Lake.
Oz is stoked about the "Pennsylvania Phillies" World Series bid ... of course, playing off his carpetbagging status.
Walker, well, he answers the alleged abortion hypocrisy with 1 word -- gas.
And Kari Lake -- well, she makes it clear ... if people vote for her, they won't have to vote in another election.
As you probably know, all 3 candidates are gaining ground in their races, and although 'SNL' is clearly mocking them ... the underlying message isn't far from reality, and that reality seems to be resonating with a growing number of voters.
We'll know in a little more than a week. Then immediately get ready for the 2024 Presidential campaign.
No rest for the weary.
