Watch above as Saturday Night Live takes on the Vice Presidential Debate—both showing and mentioning Centre College at the beginning of the sketch!

The main topic of conversation late last week was the Vice Presidential Debate at Centre College—so, of course, Saturday Night Live decided to poke a little fun at the event during its Oct. 13 episode. Opening the sketch is a shot of the Norton Center for the Arts, and at the 56-second mark, Taran Killiam—playing Congressman Paul Ryan—mentions Centre College by name. Watch the sketch in its entirety above.
