Watch ‘SNL’ Cold Open From Last Night
“Saturday Night Live” kicked off by mocking Fox News’ voter fraud coverage. Last night’s cold open on the NBC variety show featured Kate McKinnon as Laura Ingraham, and she had plenty to say about election interference.
“Some have claimed that suburban women revolted against the Republican Party, but doesn’t it feel more true that all Hispanics voted twice? You can’t dismiss that idea simply because it isn’t true and sounds insane,” she explains.
She adds that to her “feel facts,” which includes points like “blackface is a compliment” and “Santa is Jesus’ dad.”
The host talks to Judge Jeanine Pirro (Cecily Strong) next, who claims that Tyler Perry voted as himself and his character Madea. She also adds that “stacking” has become popular. That’s the practice of children stacking on top of each other under a trench coat to vote as an adult.
Then, Ingraham brings out Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg (Alex Moffat), and “SNL” pokes fun at the CEO’s robotic style by having him count out how many seconds he should smile and noting when he should blink. “I think the problem is when I do bad things, I get money. What? Dab!” he says with high-pitched laughter.
Finally, Ingraham interviews congresswoman Marcia Fudge (Leslie Jones) about challenging Nancy Pelosi for the speaker of the house position. She makes some jokes about Pelosi being old, saying that she was “speaker of the cave,” was the first girl born and that she calls the Old Testament just the Testament. Ingraham seemed onboard until Fudge started talking about mobilizing black voters, which triggers Fox News’ “the country is changing” alarms.
