Saturday Night Live roasted the New York City mayoral candidates in a mock debate choc-ful of New York references that sent-up the characteristic foibles of each of the Gracie Mansion hopefuls.

Host Miles Teller, of “Top Gun: Maverick” fame, portrayed a thick-accented Andrew Cuomo, comedian Shane Gillis acted the part of a zanier Curtis Sliwa, and comedian Ramy Youssef played frontrunner Zohran Mamdani during a staged NY-1 mayoral debate.

“Hello, everyone, I’m happy to be here, and I am ready to spend the next hour hearing my opponents pronounce my name in ways you couldn’t begin to imagine,” said Youssef’s Mamdani, who was later referred to as “Zoltar Robzombie.”
