(CNN Business) The impeachment hearings received a melodramatic twist on the "Saturday Night Live" cold open. Now known as "Days of Our Impeachment," the hearings got the daytime soap opera treatment that included a continuously fainting woman played by Heidi Gardner and a cameo by Jon Hamm, who played Bill Taylor , the witness and top diplomat in Ukraine"Unlike other people in the Trump administration, I show up," Hamm's Taylor said during SNL's hearing. No soap opera would be complete without a dramatic kiss, and SNL made it between US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Melissa Villasenor) and Hamm's Taylor. "Alexandria, I didn't expect to see you here," Hamm's Taylor said with music playing in the background and wind blowing the fictional Ocasio-Cortez's hair.
