Breaking News from Saturday Night Live: John McCain is Old

Saturday Night Live has found its John McCain -- Darrell Hammond.

In a skit that skewered NBC News as much as John McCain, Will Forte played NBC anchor Brian Williams breaking into programming with a special report.

He reported that after an exhaustive investigation, NBC discovered that John McCain is old.

Evidence: McCain was spotted at a Bob Evans Restaurant. Video surveillance tape was timestamped 4:30 PM.

The matter of his age was referred to as a scandal, "Senior-gate."

Funny.

It was a funny skit.

I don't get what you mean when you say, "too bad the reality is so scary!"

I'm not thrilled with McCain, but his age isn't a factor for me.

I agree that Hammond is terrific.
