Impeachment hearings get a soap opera twist on 'Saturday Night Live' cold open

Now known as "Days of Our Impeachment," the hearings got the daytime soap opera treatment that included a continuously fainting woman played by Heidi Gardner and a cameo by Jon Hamm, who played Bill Taylor, the witness and top diplomat in Ukraine.
"Unlike other people in the Trump administration, I show up," Hamm's Taylor said during SNL's hearing.
No soap opera would be complete without a dramatic kiss, and SNL made it between US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Melissa Villasenor) and Hamm's Taylor.
"Alexandria, I didn't expect to see you here," Hamm's Taylor said with music playing in the background and wind blowing the fictional Ocasio-Cortez's hair.
"I didn't expect for you to be such a lowkey daddy," Villasenor's Ocasio-Cortez said before locking lips with Hamm. "Now, here's a red-new deal, it's my lips."
The skit ended with a wild cameo from Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (Kenan Thompson) swinging a football helmet at Rudy Giuliani (Kate McKinnon).
"I'm tired of being falsely accused," Thompson's Garrett said, adding he was just trying to put a helmet back on the other player he's accused in real life of trying to hit.
Suddenly, McKinnon's Giuliani appeared, startling the fictional Thompson.
"Oh my god! It's a vampire," Thompson's Garrett said before striking the fictional Giuliani with the helmet.
"I think he actually might have fixed me," McKinnon's Giuliani said.
