Mayor Bloomberg & Gov. Chris Christie Address Hurricane Sandy in SNL Sketch

VIDEO

(NBC)

Hurricane Sandy took center stage on “Saturday Night Live.”

The sketch comedy show opened with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg (Fred Armisen) thanking everyone who helped in the Hurricane Sandy efforts, including the police, firefighters, and even his ubiquitous sign language translator whose over-the-top gesticulations added “pizzazz to what would have been and otherwise dour occasion.”

Throughout Bloomberg’s speech, the sign language translator made her own signs such as dumbo ears for President Obama.

The Mayor then turned over the press conference to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (Bobby Moynihan), who said that in New Jersey, “We don’t get mad, we get even, so sleep with one eye open Sandy.”

Christie also brought his own Jersey translator, who similarly displayed wild signs to correspond with the governor’s speech.

    Not half as funny as the original parody that came out immediately after the hurricane… http://youtu.be/jV93uPptHlQ

    hmmm… i watched the few minutes of the video and it’s not even that funny at all. first of all, i think that it’s too soon to have a comedy sketch about this situation. i’m from new york, and i know that a lot of people have become homeless and have no electricity. a lot of people have lost a love one and there are still a lot of people that needs everyone’s help. get a grip and those people should’ve thought about others first before they made a sketch about it. and i know that it is just Bloomberg and Christie addressing about the aftermath of the hurricane, but i still think that it’s just too soon.
