Sharpton's style of delivery, verbalized understanding of topics on "PoliticsNation" and a live flub with the teleprompter have been the subject of parody, especially on NBC series "Saturday Night Live" with Kenan Thompson playing Sharpton. It was the subject of a December 10, 2011 skit parodying the flub as well as a May 19, 2012 skit with guest star Mick Jagger as a JPMorgan Chase executive. Sharpton himself enjoyed the skits, and had Thompson on his show in February 2015. Sharpton returned the favor by appearing on SNL in March 2016.
