Last night's Saturday Night Live cold open addressed Obama's behavior at Nelson Mandel's funeral: the selfie, his handshake with Raúl Castro, and there was even an appearance from the notorious fake interpreter.
The interpreter's gestures were pretty perfect as Obama spoke about the Healthcare.gov website.
"I have been listening to what Americans are saying."
"We've seen huge improvements to our website."
"While I can't say I've been entirely thrilled with the results..."
"... I'm just relieved that the website has been turned on again."
Then German Chancellor Angela Merkel came to take some selfies with the President. This was the serious one.
Then they did a fun one.
During the past week people were hoping the fake interpreter would make an appearance on the show.
