SNL Sketch Highlights Media's Focus on Pandas in Biden-Xi Meeting

In a comedic twist, the panda character expresses surprise at the attention received during the meeting of world leaders and shares his love for legal weed in America.

Saturday Night Live's recent episode featured a sketch with President Joe Biden, played by Mikey Day, and a giant panda named Tian Tian, played by Bowen Yang, in a parody of a presidential news conference.
The sketch humorously highlighted the media's focus on the pandas leaving the National Zoo and the promise of more pandas coming to the U.S. from China, overshadowing other serious topics.
Tian Tian, in the sketch, expressed surprise at the attention pandas received during the meeting of the presidents of the world's two biggest economies.
The panda character also humorously shared his concerns about making friends in China as an adult and his love for legal weed in America.
The sketch ended with a comparison between Biden and the panda, noting that people love sharing videos of both of them falling down.
