“Don’t you live in, like, Maine?” asked “Weekend Update” anchor Colin Jost of Tucker Carlson, as portrayed by “Saturday Night Live” cast member Jeremy Culhane on the May 9 episode of the sketch comedy show.

“Yes, and let’s talk about Maine,” responded Culhane, as the conservative political commentator. “M-A-I-N- … E? Huh! Really! The ‘e’ is silent. But who silenced it, and why?”

It was a small piece of Culhane’s reprised impersonation of Carlson, which was mostly focused around a critique of the Met Gala and marked by mocking the Bryant Pond resident’s tendency to turn anything — like the spelling of our state — into a conspiracy to destroy society as straight, white men know it.

Although the portrayal was pretty funny, Carlson isn’t a figure we associate that closely with Maine. Meanwhile, we’re in the middle of a highly consequential U.S. Senate race featuring two candidates with distinctive qualities that are ripe for mimicry. While former cast member Cecily Strong has appeared on the show as a Trump-enabling Republican Sen. Susan Collins, there’s no clear choice for who would play her likely opponent, the rugged, gravelly voiced oyster-farming Democrat Graham Platner.

Mainers, both real and imagined, have gotten the “SNL” treatment plenty of times before. Jason Sudeikis played a judge on courtroom show parody “Maine Justice,” in which everyone but the confused defendant had Cajun accents.

After voters passed a law legalizing same-sex marriage, Bill Hader and Fred Armisen went on “Weekend Update” as a gay couple from Maine, sporting cable-knit sweaters, orange fishing bibs and accents that needed more than a little work.

Perhaps the most memorable was Will Ferrell and Kate McKinnon’s spoof of real-life Hermon couple Jack and Sonya Palmer, whose bloopers from shooting a commercial for Dysart’s truck stop had gone viral.

McKinnon could be a frontrunner for the Platner role. She’s pulled off then-septuagenarians Rudy Giuliani and Jeff Sessions in the past, so she shouldn’t have any problem with a fellow blond 40-something. And though she could put in some shoulder pads to re-create his build, if physique is that important, no one would be sad to see stockier former cast member Beck Bennett return for a cameo.

Going on resemblance alone, actor Chris Pratt would make a good option, though maybe he should hold out for the biopic. For an impossibly deep voice double, Seth Rogen would be the obvious choice — and the Jewish comedian could probably have a field day with the controversy over Platner’s Nazi tattoo.

It’s not likely to happen before the show’s 51st season ends this weekend — though Ferrell is hosting, and he does a rage-fueled rant better than anyone — but there will still be a month left before the election when the show returns to NBC in the fall.

Here’s hoping “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels, who owns a blueberry farm in Washington County, is invested enough in his sometimes-home to make this happen, if for no other reason than to bring in Sam Elliott as Sen. Angus King.
