Analysis: The Post reported about the meeting on Friday. SNL spoofed it the next day.
Such a meeting might sound like an SNL sketch, and the show wasted no time imagining it. Featured player James Austin Johnson, who appeared as former president Donald Trump in last week’s cold open, portrays an increasingly bewildered President Biden who refers to himself as “the landline of presidents.” He’s thankful to press secretary Jen Psaki for “having the vision to set this up.”“I suggested it as a joke, but then it actually happened,” says Kate McKinnon’s Psaki.
Among the TikTokers gathered at SNL’s version of the White House is an actress from the CW named Actress From the CW, who wants to fight the Russians with poetry, a reference toin which she recites an original poem bemoaning the fact that she wasn’t Vladimir Putin’s mother. She, you see, would have shown him the love and affection he required to not invade Ukraine.
Once again, the episode proceeded to avoid the war in Ukraine until the “Weekend Update” segment. “Russia has passed a fake-news law that makes it illegal for any organization to report information that contradicts what the government says. Which explains the recent headline, ‘6-Foot-5 Putin Not Insane,’” jokes co-anchor Colin Jost, who adds that he’s considering “marching down to the nearest Army enlistment office and signing [Michael] Che up.
“After the U.S. ban on Russian oil, gas prices hit a record high of $4.30 a gallon. Which is so expensive that, America, we might have to move back in with our ex,” quips co-anchor Che as a graphic showing Iraq and the words “U.S. invades Iraq again” appear on screen. “Come on Iraq, you know we never stopped loving you, baby.”
“Russia has responded to sanctions by banning the export of Russian-made cars,” he adds. “But a Russian-made car is just a drunk bear on roller skates.”
