But now fans want to commemorate this incident from Wednesday night’s debate. Many fans are demanding Saturday Night Live invite Jeff Goldblum on their show. This demand started because Jeff has a connection to “The Fly”.

Back in 1986, Jeff Goldblum starred in a sci-fi film named The Fly. This film was directed by David Cronenberg and in the film, Goldblum played the role of a scientist who starts turning into a fly. This film has now become a topic of discussion once again. Since Jeff Goldblum has already played the role of a fly in a film, SNL followers want him to reprise his role. Take a look at some of these Twitter demands here.

Jeff Goldblum who is not on Twitter has not commented on this suggestion. Even Saturday Night Live is yet to take up this suggestion. But this idea does not seem far-fetched for the Emmy-award winning show. Recently, Maya Rudolph transformed herself into Senator Kamala Harris for a skit. Jim Carrey also recreated an iconic impersonation of Joe Biden, and Alec Baldwin once again channelled a funny Donald Trump impersonation.
