The big picture: Kaine pops up on a quiz show sketch where host John Mulaney, playing someone seemingly caught up on politics, has to guess who he is.
His hints included being Hillary Clinton's VP running mate in 2016 and Mulaney voting for him to be "one heartbeat away from the Oval Office in an election more recent than the release of the 2016 film 'Zootopia.'"
Yes, but: Mulaney's character was stumped.
What they're saying: "It's not my fault. If he was a more memorable guy like Tim Walz…"
"This is very much a guy like Tim Walz," responded the game show host, a reference to how both have been referred to as "America's dad."
Then the show host added that Kaine was also named "Tim."
"My name is still Tim. I exist. I'm a senator representing Virginia," Kaine said.
Zoom in: The game show host then gave Mulaney three all-incorrect options for what Kaine's last name really is: Tim Clinton, Tim Tim, or Tim Scott.
Mulaney chooses Tim Tim. The game show host says it's actually Tim Scott, who is a Black Republican senator from South Carolina.
The bottom line: Don't worry. We'd never forget you, Tim Tim.
