“Saturday Night Live” is immersed in the controversy surrounding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife, and text messages to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows urging him to challenge Donald Trump’s election loss.
In a parody of “Fox & Friends,” Ginni Thomas, played by Kate McKinnon, appeared with Justice, played Kenan Thompson and was told that the left was “losing its mind” due to text messages she sent to Meadows prior to January 6. Riots in the Capitol.
“I don’t want any problems,” she said. “I take my duty as Yoko Ono of the Supreme Court very seriously.”
Thomas explained her look with a simple look.
“All I want is a tidal wave of biblical revenge to sweep the Biden crime family all the way to Gitmo and then release Kraken.”
Meanwhile, Judge Thomas could not definitively answer a single question. When asked if the couple were talking about Jenny Thomas’ efforts to influence Trump in the White House, he replied:
“Some say yes, some say no.”
Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, was ambiguous at first. The former president appeared on the phone while the hosts, played by Alex Moffat, Heidi Gardner and Mickey Day, interacted.
“Have you made a coup, sir?” Gardner asked Ainsley Earhart.
The former president made it clear that he did not like “P” in the coup. “There has been a recall. It may be a coup,” he said on January 6.
Asked about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, Trump identified the incident as a “slap” and Smith as a movie starring Hitch.
“I enjoyed the slap,” he said. “I was very impressed with my hitch.”
The Oscar slap dominated much of this SNL episode, with host Jerrod Carmichael dedicating a large portion of his monologue to it. He said SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels encouraged him to do so.
“He said the nation needs to recover,” Carmichael said. “Do you want me to do that? The nation doesn’t even know me. I heal the nation? I can’t even heal my family.”
A skit featuring Chris Reed as Smith focused on what it would have been like to sit next to Smith with the accident at the Dolby Theater last week.
Carmichael, depicting a seat filler, was excited to be by Smith’s side until the star turned away, heard a slap, and returned and sat quietly.
Smith yelled at Rock to keep his wife’s name out of his mouth.
Then he turned to Carmichael and said, as if nothing had happened, “How about that selfie?”
“It’s all normal, you all,” Smith later said.
The Weekend Update continued with the topic. Co-host Colin Jost started with a bogus move, saying, “Intelligence officials say his advisers are misleading Vladimir Putin.”
“It’s kind of like Will Smith’s agent told him, ‘I crushed him at the Oscars,'” he said.
Jost, who is married to Scarlett Johansson, also declared that the slap “sets an appalling precedent for having to defend your wife at the awards show.”
Michael Che, host of Weekend Update, lamented that he was tired of being asked by comedians to track celebrities’ medical conditions and problems. Before the slap, Rock joked that Jada Pinkett Smith, who suffers from alopecia, or alopecia, would be starring in G.I. Jane 2.
“I am tired of people putting their fears over our prank intentions,” Che said.
The clip featured OJ Simpson, played by Thompson, who said, “As Will Smith said in his speech, love will make you do crazy things. Allegedly.”
