On last night's "Conan," "SNL" star Jason Sudeikis, who played both Mitt Romney and Joe Biden on the late night sketch show, said Mitt Romney's voice sounds basically like "when black stand-ups do a white guy voice":

O'Brien referenced today's clip of the comic on "Meet the Press's" Press Pass series, in which Sudeikis discussed the relationship between politics and comedy with co-star Fred Armisen, who played Barack Obama on SNL. Sudeikis called Romney disappointingly corny, saying, "That's us wishing he was aware of how corny he is. ... He is as bland as bland can be, at this point. He's like a butter sandwich. Unsalted butter. With the crusts cut off."
