[ laughter ] >> much better. now let's get this nightmare started. >> sometimes it feels like you need just a nice warm shot to get things going. for the, as they called it, the worst ever presidential debate. "saturday night live" not holding back when it comes to the state of this election. >> yeah. last night they took on not only the debate, which should point out, but some recent accusations and some missteps on both candidates' part. cnn's senior media correspondent brian stelter breaking it all down. this is where you have fun with your job, brian. >> oh, for sure. and we need it this week. we've got to dig deep this week to find some laughs after all the things we've heard during this season of this election. but "snl" last night did try to recreate the debate. oftentimes just using the candidates' own words.
