After a Wild Week for Trump, ‘S.N.L.’ Asks, ‘What Even Matters Anymore?’
After a Wild Week for Trump, ‘S.N.L.’ Asks, ‘What Even Matters Anymore?’
In this week’s other memorable moments:
Naturally, “Weekend Update” couldn’t resist the saga of Stephanie Clifford, the pornographic-film actress known as Stormy Daniels who has said she had an affair with Mr. Trump
and was reportedly paid $130,000 in hush money shortly before the 2016 election.
Well, of course he’s afraid of sharks — the man has a body of a seal.”
Cecily Strong portrayed Ms. Clifford in a deskside segment on “Weekend Update,” in
which Mr. Jost introduced her as an “unlikely ally for critics of Donald Trump.”
“I’m like a liberal hero,” she said, “even though I’m a Republican porn star who loves Sarah Palin.
Ms. Chastain explained it as “the show where I tell you something our president did or said, and you have to tell me: Does it even matter anymore?”
Her first question for the contestants: “The president of the United States refers
to African countries as poo-poo holes, and says all Haitians have AIDS.
“They say he’s just repented and they forgive him, and Mike Pence is like, ‘That’s my dude.’”
The game went on, with Ms. Chastain’s character drifting further into delirium
and eventually asking the three players to write down anything they thought would matter or lead to consequences for President Trump.
