Democracy has spoken.

Montecito comic Steve Martin, 78, has been deemed the perfect person to portray Vice President Kamala Harris’ recently appointed vice president candidate Minnesota governor Tim Walz, 60, on NBC’s Saturday Night Live this fall, when it celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Social media was instantly abuzz noting the physical resemblance of the two men.

Even longtime SNL creator Lorne Michaels took note and offered Martin the gig, but he declined given it would mean an “ongoing commitment.”

Martin told the Los Angeles Times: “I’m not an impressionist. You need someone who can really nail the guy. I was picked because I have gray hair and wear glasses!”
