The guests of this episode were justice correspondent Elie Mystal (Kenan Thompson), the founder of the Forward Party, Andrew Yang (Bowen Yang, in a performance that Andrew himself approved) and political influencer Joanne Carducci (SNL host Dakota Johnson), with a planned conversation about the 2024 presidential election.
