In case you missed it: McCain on SNL

John McCain yukked it up on Saturday Night Live this weekend, making two cameos in which he joked about his age and implored Democrats to stretch their nomination battle past the convention. Click play below to watch McCain on Weekend Update:

So far, the reviews on McCain's appearance have been pretty good. Washington Post style columnist Tom Shales wrote "McCain won't be joining the cast, of course, having other preoccupations, but he did a first-class job in two appearances on the season finale."

Politico's Jonathan Martin opined that, in joking about his age, McCain, 71, actually came across as more youthful:

"Appearing last night on 'SNL' — a venue that doesn't scream old fogey — he used the start and finish of his bit to make fun of, in his words, his 'oldness.'

And it doesn't hurt that in between he joked about a pop culture reference that few in his generation would get. Hard to imagine even the Gipper riffing on 'gaydar.'"
