Three episodes into the new season of Saturday Night Live, and the show, like many media outlets, is learning to navigate this most unusual political season. In its obligatory debate cold open, a weary Anderson Cooper (Alex Moffat) and Martha Raddatz (Cecily Strong) did shots as they introduced the “the worst ever presidential debate”.
