Saturday Night Live decided to take shots at the recent NYC mayoral debates with their latest episode.

Host for the night, Miles Teller took on the role of candidate and former New York governor Andrew Cuomo.

Introducing himself, he boasted about being a “born, bred New Yorker” who “knows this city like the back of a woman’s back.”

Ramy Youssef took on the part of Zohran Mamdani, proudly declaring that he is “happy to be here, and I’m ready to spend the next hour hearing my opponents pronounce my name in ways you couldn’t begin to imagine.”

Referring to Mamdani’s jolly reaction to every insult and dig thrown his way, Youssef continued, “And I know some of you are out there scared of the idea of a young socialist Muslim mayor. So allow me to put you at ease by smiling after every answer in a way that physically hurts my face.”

Shane Gillis took on the part of Curtis Sliwa, which then triggered debate itself as they explained why they would “want the worst job in the world” and what they’d like to say to “undecided voters.”
