But the show’s writers and comedians couldn’t let the Colorado politician live the incident down before cracking a few jokes.During this weekend’s “SNL” cold open, actor Mikey Day played a defeated Rep. Jim Jordan, soliciting condolences after failing in his bid to be elected House speaker. He receives a call from Rep.

I’m at the theater seeing ‘Aladdin,’” Fineman replies.Related ArticlesT...
