Editorial Review:
This program, which features the best satires of American presidencies from 25 years of Saturday Night Live, was newsworthy when it first aired, two days before the 2000 election, as the two major candidates had previously taped segments that were edited into an opening skit. George Bush bumbles and Al Gore is punctilious, and both are quite funny delivering their lines. Also included in the program is SNL's satire of their first debate, in which a confused Bush (played by Will Ferrell) winces during the questioning and Gore (played by Daryl Hammond) can't stop talking about "the lockbox." Older clips feature Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton visiting a McDonald's, cheerfully helping himself to everyone's fries; Dana Carvey doing his trademark impression of the elder George Bush; and a cantankerous Norm McDonald playing candidate and housemate Bob Dole in a devilish satire of the MTV's The Real World. From the show's original cast, Dan Ackroyd is briefly seen as Richard Nixon, and he also appears in an all-time classic skit as Jimmy Carter answering calls from citizens and micromanaging one viewer's bad acid trip by suggesting he play some Allman Brothers. Like all things associated with Saturday Night Live, Presidential Bash 2000 is uneven, but the bits included are generally quite funny, and some of the satire was so prescient that the passing of time makes it even better. --Robert J. McNamara

I don't own this video but I saw the episode when it originally aired. Hillarious! It may be my favorite episode of SNL ever! It's hosted by George W. Bush and Al Gore themselves. My favorite sketch is the debate between Bush and Gore and...you'll just have to see it yourself!
Rating: - Executive fun
I found this video to be truly hilarious. The cast of SNL accuratly portrays all the presidents and related staff while at the same time poking fun at them and allowing us all to sit back and laugh at the people who run our country.
Rating: - Good presidential/political satire
Presidential Bash 2000 is a quality selections of presidential and political skits done over the years. It gets off to a funny start, with opening remarks by the real life George W. Bush and Al Gore. The opening skit is the debate between Gore and Bush, and their characters make appearances throughout the program. Darrell Hammond does Gore as uncannily as he did Clinton, and also makes appearances as Dick Cheney. Will Farrell's Bush character accentuates his simplicity, using words like 'dignitute'and ...
