“Saturday Night Live” kicked off this weekend with the State of the Union address and responses from surprise guests.
Scarlett Johansson, also known as Mrs. Colin Jost, made a cameo appearance during the show's cold opening, portraying Alabama Sen. Katie Britt, who made headlines for her Republican rebuttal to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address on Thursday. acted.
Johansson, dressed as Britt, spoke from her kitchen with one hand firmly raised, exclaiming Biden's “performance” qualities (while passionately denying her own).
“You know, I'm not just a mom,” Johansson said. “I'm a wife, a mother, and the craziest guy in the Target parking lot.”
The skit concludes with a fitting parody of Jordan Peele's Oscar-winning racial satire Get Out, in which Johansson takes out a teacup and stirs it, and Kenan Thompson gets in the face. I burst into tears and froze.
Ahead of Johansson's sendoff, Mikey Day reprized his role as Biden on the podium, telling Punky Johnson, who plays Vice President Kamala Harris, to “don't take your leg day off” before she sat down. He spoke and then stood up. She sat down during her speech and then remained standing.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, played by Michael Longfellow, can be seen shaking his head every time Biden mentions his “predecessor,” as if he just happened to watch 30 seconds of Euphoria. – As Biden observed.
The episode was hosted by “Dune Part 2” star Josh Brolin (who actually took an ice bath to soak up cold water during his monologue) and musical guest Ariana Grande.
