00:00Mr. Cohen, you wrote this statement yourself?
00:02Uh, yes, but I had some help from the guys who wrote Green Book.
00:06The latest installment of SNL capitalized on Michael Cohen's explosive testimony
00:11before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, with Ben Stiller reprising his
00:15guest role as Trump's former fixer and Bill Hader making a cameo as Congressman Jim Jordan.
00:20Stiller, as Cohen, thanked the committee for inviting him to correct the record
00:23under oath before acknowledging,
00:25Of course, the first time I testified was also under oath, but this time I, like, really mean it.
00:33The skates touch on the fact that during Cohen's real-life testimony,
00:36he called the president a conman, a racist, and a cheat.
00:39Mr. Trump is a racist.
00:48Wow, I thought that would be a bigger reaction.
00:50Meanwhile, Hader appeared as an exasperated Jim Jordan, calling Stiller's Cohen a lying
00:54piece of human trash and saying he'd never even heard of Cohen,
00:57which elicited this very original response.
00:59Your mother has.
01:03Next up, former SNL head writer John Mulaney took to the stage to host
01:06the long-running sketch series for the second time. The comedian regaled the audience
01:10with a story about the time his wife, who was pushing the couple's French bulldog
01:13in a stroller at the time, ran into Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn on a New York Street corner.
01:18The four of them stare at each other, and then they all kind of nod as if to say,
01:24none of this is right, and then they went their separate ways.
01:29And Mulaney also remarked on how odd it is that New York passengers are explicitly told
01:33not to murder their taxi drivers.
01:35That doesn't happen in any other industry. It's not like at restaurants, they're like,
01:39your server Michael will be right over. Oh, by the way, killing a waiter in the state
01:44of New York is a class A felony. I'll get you some bread.
01:48Later in the show, actor Jussie Smollett got the SNL treatment in a Shark Tank sketch called
01:52Shark Tank Legal Edition, in which controversial lawyers listened to pictures from embattled
01:56celebrities asking them to take on their cases.
01:59Cast member Chris Redd played Smollett, who was arrested for allegedly falsifying a police report
02:03for his own assault, telling the Sharks that he had just been attacked outside by President
02:07Donald Trump himself.
02:09Jussie, is that true?
02:11Are there cameras outside?
02:13Yes.
02:15Then no it is not.
02:16And Pete Davidson, who has recently been doing comedy shows with Mulaney, appeared with the
02:20stand-up in a musical sketch set in a New York City bodega as a sequel to Mulaney's fan
02:24favorite Dino Lobster. In the bit, Davidson played a bodega patron who asked to use the bathroom,
02:29prompting a musical routine featuring Kenan Thompson as a bodega cat.
02:33All the sticky stuff is fluid. Want to know for sure? Put a black light to it.

02:47Cecily Strong as Senator Dianne Feinstein debating climate change with a group of San Francisco
02:51Bay Area students, head to THR.com. For The Hoyer Reporter News, I'm Lyndsey Rodrigues.
