Tim Kaine speaking Spanish during a rally with Hillary Clinton after becoming her running mate on the Democratic ticket. While Hughes said she appreciated the “multicultural” aspect of the vice presidential candidate’s fluent Spanish speech, she believed that is the very thing that continues to divide America. “We can all bring out our language,” Hughes told her CNN colleague Wolf Blitzer. “Melania could come out and speak her five different languages, as well.” Hughes continued, “But what Mr. Trump did, he spoke in a language that all Americans can.

Tonight’s host is Peter Dinklage, a talented actor best known for playing Game of Thrones’ Tyrion Lannister, a performance so good it makes you say, “Fine, I guess I’ll keep watching Game of Thrones this season, but if another Stark dies I’m out.” Though Dinklage did make a brief but memorable appearance last year on Weekend Update as Drunk Uncle’s brother-in-law Peter Drunklage, tonight marks his first appearance as host.
