The First Son’s adult life could fuel a thousand sketches. Drugs. Prostitution. Tax evasion. Cocaine suddenly appeared in the White House. Dodging child support payments. The “Laptop from Hell.” Texting the n-word. His art career. Now, quick, name a classic “Saturday Night Live” sketch that featured Hunter Biden as the main attraction.
