Of course, things went off the rails, with Trump interrupting constantly and Maya Rudolph making an appearance as Kamala Harris as she tried to referee the proceedings. “If there’s one thing we learned tonight, it’s that America needs a WAP: Woman As President,” she said, to many cheers. “But for now I’ll settle for HVPIC: Hot Vice President In Charge. So why don’t the two of you finish this debate, or whatever the hell this is, with some dignity? And when you’re done I’ve got you boys some PB&J and apple slices waiting for you backstage.”
They also got in a few digs about the diagnosis, including Biden hitting the “pause” button on a remote control when Trump started to let loose with another interruption, and froze him mid-sentence. This led to lots of applause from the audience.
“Sorry, but I think we all needed a break. Isn’t that satisfying?” Biden said before directing a message to America: “You can trust me because I believe in science. And karma. Now, just imagine if science and karma could somehow team up to send us all a message about how dangerous this virus can be.” He swung his head around to take an exaggerated look at Trump. “I’m not saying I want it to happen. Just imagine if it did.”
Right afterward, host Chris Rock kicked things off by addressing “the elephant in the room”: “President Trump’s in the hospital from COVID. And I just want to say, my heart goes out to COVID.”
Rock went on to declare that in light of people renegotiating their relationships during the pandemic, it’s time for American citizens to renegotiate our relationship to the government. “It doesn’t work,” he said. “I mean, I think Joe Biden should be the last president ever. We need a whole new system … you realize there’s more rules to a game show than running for president? Like, Donald Trump left a game show to run for president because it was easier.”
