2012 Town Hall Presidential Debate - SNL

Candy Crowley (Aidy Bryant) moderates the 2012 Town Hall Presidential Debate as Mitt Romney (Jason Sudeikis) and Barack Obama (Jay Pharoah) answer questions from undecided Long Island voters (Fred Armisen, Bill Hader and Tom Hanks). [Season 38, 2012]

This was Aidy's first big sketch, and she killed it despite being super nervous. Afterwards she talked about how Tom Hanks and Bill Hader ran her down the hall and everyone cheered for her.

*"Libya."*

The buildup & execution of that joke sometimes makes me laugh randomly when I'm trying to fall asleep.

[jburtson]

I’m amazed by how calm and well informed these presidential candidates are

[rickrose]

THAT was spectacular: brilliantly written and brilliantly performed. Hanks is a genuinely great comic actor. 90 seconds and he nailed it.

[markdavies]

Sudeikis captures the essence of Romney and his voice. I wish we had seen more of Jay Pharoah on the show. Both great talents!

[GregScala]

Jason Sudeikis as Mitt Romney, and Jay Pharoah as Barack Obama. Two amazing snl impressions

[samprice]

I love the implication that Romney's son is an undecided voter

[jakethepillowsnake]

"Nothing."
"I would also do nothing."
🤣🤣🤣

[BookClubDisaster]

They under utilized Jay Pharao's Obama. It's freaking brilliant.

[LeeH]

I watch this clip only for Bill Hader as Eugene Picanzi. So funny

[CptChaos]

"Let me at him, Dad!"
"Sit down, Tag. Alright? Not now." Killam's face afterwards was the best.

[endermeap]

“What woukd you do to keep AK-47s and other dangerous assault weapons out of dangerous criminals hands?”
“Nothing”
“I would also do nothing”


Too real, too real

[juliaheggenes]

"I'm about to cut you" killed me

[JeevatSingh]

The best thing about my plan is you can sit on it and spin😂

[rflcanela]

"I'm undecided", so, I'll kick both asses!! LMAO!!

[wadedungan]

"Candi is he bothering you?" I can't 😂😂😂

[thornstrikesback]

Even an SNL sketch is more mature than the Trump vs Biden debate.

[gamerman]

this debate seems like nothing compared to hillary and trump

[IndyStudios]

I miss turning on SNL and watching Jay as Barack and Jason as Mitt, this was some of the best election stuff they have ever done

[samira]

"this isn't Colorado anymore governor, this is sea level" LMAO
