Star of “Saturday Night Live” Darrel Hammond isn’t laughing at Thursday’s presidential debate… and is instead issuing a very stark warning about the country’s future.
Darrell used to pose as donald trump, Al Gore It is Bill Clinton on ‘SNL’ … but he told us he didn’t see anything funny about Thursday night’s presidential showdown, calling the entire event sad and potentially dangerous.

This may seem strange coming from Darrell, who has lampooned Trump for years, but he says fans should avoid mocking Trump’s mannerisms… because it makes him seem less dangerous.
These days, he thinks voters should take Trump’s past comments about wanting to become a dictator very seriously.
As for Biden? The ‘SNL’ host empathizes with 46, says jokes about the president’s fragility are cruel and unfunny… as Biden clearly does didn’t look good for much of the debate…something political pundits on both sides of the aisle highlighted.
That said, there’s no doubt that ‘SNL’ will face the presidential election when it returns this fall… and DH thinks the creator Lorne Michaels will find a way to appropriately add humor to the situation.
Although, Darrell has no plans to play 45 again — cast member James Austin Johnson deals with it these days – he says it was all fun and games in 2016, when everyone thought Trump’s candidacy was a joke.
Darrell is no longer laughing and thinks trying to make jokes out of this situation is dangerous.
