“Saturday Night Live” star Darrell Hammond isn’t laughing about Thursday’s presidential debate … and is instead issuing a very stern warning regarding the country’s future.

Darrell famously used to impersonate Donald Trump, Al Gore and Bill Clinton on ‘SNL’ … but he told us he saw nothing funny about Thursday night’s presidential face-off, calling the whole event sad and potentially dangerous.

This might sound odd coming from Darrell, who lampooned Trump for years, but he says fans should avoid mocking Trump’s mannerisms … because it makes him seem less dangerous.

These days, he thinks voters should take very seriously Trump’s prior comments about wanting to become a dictator.

As for Biden? The ‘SNL’ announcer has empathy for 46, and says jokes about the president’s frailty are cruel and unfunny … as Biden clearly appeared not well through much of the debate … something political pundits on both sides of the aisles have highlighted.

That being said, there’s no doubt ‘SNL’ will tackle the presidential election when it returns this fall … and DH thinks creator Lorne Michaels will find a way to appropriately add humor to the situation.

Though, Darrell has no plans to play 45 again — cast member James Austin Johnson handles that these days — he does say it was all fun and games in 2016, when everyone thought Trump’s candidacy was a joke.

Darrell’s no longer laughing, and thinks trying to create jokes from this situation is dangerous.
