“Saturday night live” began with a version of the State of the Union this weekend, along with a response from a surprise guest.
Scarlett Johansson aka Mrs. Colin Jost – made a cameo during the show’s opening, playing Alabama Senator Katie Britt in her very talked GOP rebuttal to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Thursday.
With one hand firmly raised, Johansson dressed as Britt highlighted Biden’s “performative” qualities (while fervently denying any performance of her own), delivering her remarks from her kitchen.
“You see, I’m not just a mother,” Johansson said. “I’m a wife, mother, and the craziest bitch in the Target parking lot.”
The end of the sketch saw a well-placed parody of Jordan Peele’s Oscar-winning racial satire”Go out” when Johansson took out a cup of tea and stirred it, causing Kenan Thompson to freeze with a tear falling down his face.
Before Johansson’s farewell, Mikey Day reprized his role as Biden at the podium for his speech, where he told Punkie Johnson, playing Vice President Kamala Harris, that he hoped she “wouldn’t skip leg day,” before sitting down and then standing up. , she sat and then stood throughout his speech.
Michael Longfellow played House Speaker Mike Johnson, whom Day-as-Biden observed shook his head every time Biden mentioned his “predecessor” “as if he had accidentally caught 30 seconds of the show ‘Euphoria’” .
The episode was presented by “Dune: Part Two“Star Josh Brolin, who jumped into a real ice bath for a cold dip during his monologue, and musical guest. Ariana Grande.
