Barack Obama on SNL

It's the opening bit on Saturday Night Live.

It's a post-debate Halloween party for the Democrat candidates at the Clintons' home.

As usual, Amy Poehler played Hillary. She was dressed as a bride, but everyone kept telling her she makes a great witch.

As usual, Darrell Hammond played Bill Clinton. He was dressed as Mystery from The Pick-up Artist on VH1.

One party guest comes in wearing a Barack Obama mask.

He removes the mask and...

You guessed it.

It's Barack Obama.

He said that he didn't need to wear a costume or change. He's comfortable just being himself.

Obama complimented Hillary on her bride costume and Bill said, "She's a witch."

Then, Obama had the honor of looking into the camera and saying, "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night."

I guess that puts to rest any questions about whether it's appropriate for Brian Williams to be hosting SNL.

If a presidential candidate can take part in a skit, an anchorman can.
