Some weeks, you almost feel bad for “Saturday Night Live.” A few years into mining comedy from a news cycle that regularly stretches the bounds of reality, “SNL” went into Saturday with a presumptive target of the first week of impeachment hearings. “If the president wanted to intimidate you he would’ve shot you on Fifth Avenue,” Mikey Day’s Rep. Jim Jordan argued. “That story was from last season,” Hamm’s Taylor reminded him. As Davidson went on, Strong’s Yovanovitch added, “We know, no one seems to care.”So many scandals, so little time. But save your strength, “SNL” — these hearings are just getting started.
