First up was Herschel Walker, played by Kenan Thompson.
“My name is Herschel Walker Texas Ranger,” Thompson as Walker said, kicking off the cold open of the NBC variety show. “And I’m running for president of the United Airlines.”
Next up: Dr. Mehmet Oz, played by Mikey Day.
“My Pennsylvania Phillies are in the World Series, and I just had a delicious Philadelphia cheese and steak. Yum!” Day’s Oz declared.
Finally: Kari Lake, played by Cecily Strong.
“Great to be with you,” she said. “On your sweet little show full of lies.”
