Now that David Paterson has left office, Saturday Night Live performer Fred Armisen is tackling a different New York politician: Mayor Michael "Yeah, there's a blizzard, but go to Broadway and see a show" Bloomberg. While Armisen didn't quite nail Hizzoner's disdain for the little people, there were a few amusing parts during this Bloomberg blizzard cold opening, like how he hoped New York City would be plowed.
