Been quite a while since Ashley last played Karoline Leavitt. I always love this impression of hers. A meta comment about Ashley playing all the women in his cabinet. While maybe funny on paper, it is a sad reminder of how poor/limited most of the other women in the cast are next to Ashley Padilla. This cold open’s format reminds me of those awful Trumpwin (shudder) cold opens, complete with phone calls and split screens. JAJ is doing his best to elevate this as always, however. Not sure if it is working for me as much as I want it to.

Funny enough, I was complaining how the show never seems to do sports-centric cold opens like they used to. Am I being tracked? If so, can Lorne fire the people I’ve been begging to leave? Thanks in advance. As always, a very good Ernie Johnson voice from JAJ. I even like his impression a little more than the solid one Bill Hader used to do. I am not familiar with the coach Jeremy is playing, but he is great in this part.
