After Roger Stone emerged from his federal indictment hearing and flashed Nixons double peace signs to the press on Friday, it seemed inevitable that he would end up on this weeks Saturday Night Live. But who would play him? SNL veteran Steve Martin took the lead in my informal Twitter poll, and like magic, there he was Saturday night.
Im like if those shorts with the little whales come to life, Saturday Night Lives Tucker Carlson (Alex Moffat) said by way of introduction during this weeks cold open. Our top story tonight, President Trump's heroic end to the shutdown. It took him 35 days, but he was finally able to get no wall.
Over the course of the sketch, the Fox News host chatted with Cecilys Strongs Judge Jeanine Pirroasked How are you? she replied, A lot.and the consistently brilliant Kate McKinnon as Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who was asked about why he said he couldnt understand why furloughed workers had to get food at homeless shelters instead of taking out loans.
Right, well, that was silly of me, McKinnons Ross said. I simply meant there are other ways of getting money. They could have liquidated some of their stocks, or sold one of their paintings. Even if they sold a lesser Picasso, it's still going to get you through a week or two of yacht maintenance.
