Personal Appearances
Bolt made a cameo appearance in the opening sketch of the 13 October 2012 broadcast of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Christina Applegate. The segment was a parody of the Vice Presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan. In the sketch, Taran Killam mimicking Ryan had just lied about running a 2:50 marathon, a sub-4 minute mile on no training and winning the 100 meters in London when Bolt was introduced as his partner to confirm.
- When asked Ryan asked Bolt "Who won the 100 meters?" the Jamaican gold-medalist answered simply. "I did." Ryan followed up by asking Bolt about his (Ryan's) finish. "You didn't finish. You weren't even there,"
Bolt appeared later in another sketch.
