Tim Kaine made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live recently, joining host John Mulaney for a comedic sketch titled What’s That Name: Election Edition.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, Kaine cleverly challenged Mulaney’s character to identify him, saying, You voted for me to be one heartbeat away from the Oval Office in an election more recent than the release of ‘Zootopia.’ What’s my name
Mulaney, playing the flustered contestant Ben, struggled to answer and humorously noted the similarities between Kaine and current Democratic VP contender, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. He quipped, It’s not my fault. If he was a more memorable guy like Tim Walz.
This is very much a guy like Tim Walz. Let’s see them side by side. Not only does he look exactly like Tim Walz, his name was also Tim. Really, his name was Tim.
This lighthearted segment not only entertained audiences but also highlighted Kaine’s political history and the crowded Democratic landscape as the election nears.
