1. Made a previous comment in a MN thread about how much SNL will love Walz due to his open enthusiasm, ability to smile with a deep-set frown and the flannel that most of the country hasn’t seen yet. Steve Martin is the first SNL option I thought of.

2. lol so many people called this 😅

3. Darrell Hammond can do it!

4. Jim Gaffigan.

   Perfect if SNL can get him.

5. What a Jerk.

   Ba dum tss….

6. Still seems like a better idea than *Cheaper by the Dozen 2*.

7. Jim Gaffigan would be perfect

8. It’s gonna be Mikey Day. He did Biden last season so why not ?

9. No, he’s a dentist

10. Come on Steve, don’t be highbrow. You made Roxanne!

11. Steve Martin was a prop comic

12. Jim O’Heir from Parks and recreation would be perfect.

13. The cast can do it

14. I knew it,he is a republican!

15. Steve is perfect casting, but he’s always steered well clear of anything that even smells political. The moment I thought of it, I moved onto other picks…

    Matt Damon with more makeup? Gaffigan’s a bit too tubby, Walz has a bit more jaw and grit.

16. Bob Odenkirk, Drew Carey or Michael Keaton.

17. jason sudeikis is the obvious choice…nobody better to deliver heartland coach vibes

18. Bill Macy I’m telling ya
