Tim Kaine Makes Surprise Appearance in ‘SNL’ Sketch With John Mulaney; Sarah Sherman Plays Margaret Atwood


Virginia Senator Tim Kaine made a surprise appearance on 'Saturday Night Live' in a sketch with host John Mulaney and Sarah Sherman.

Mulaney in character as quiz show contestant Ben gave a flustered reply and pointed to the similiarites between Kaine and the current Democratic VP contender, Minnesota Gov. Sherman as Atwood then interjects: “I’m sorry to interrupt…If you’d read that book, you’d see that we’re basically halfway there.” As Mulaney’s Ben tries to dismiss the comment, the host explains “This woman is the author of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.’ “ Mulaney’s star has climbed over the past decade thanks to a series of successful comedy specials for Netflix, including “Everybody’s in LA” and “Baby J.”
