SNL: Aubrey Plaza makes her hosting debut as show roasts George Santos multiple times
In the cold open, Saturday Night Live wasted no time pouring salt on the wounds of New York Giants fans and the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, as well as taking several shots at Congressman George Santos , with cast member Bowen Yang fudging NFL stats and donning a dress as Santos’ alter ego, drag queen Kitara Revache.
Yang’s Santos appeared as an NFL sideline reporter, bragging he was the one that won the game with “36/25 passes, 300 yards, 500 yard, 12 touchdowns.” “I’m sort of the real Bo Jackson, and I’m proud to be first African American quarterback to ever dunk a football,” he said. As Revache, he denied ever being a drag queen, saying, “Well, I didn’t do drag in Brazil,” he responded. “I didn’t do drag in Brazil under the name Yang continued with the exaggerations, declaring, “Now allow me to give you my real stats: Death drops, 26. Duck walks, 19. Wigs snatched, infinity. …And I was also given the award for tightest tuck.”
“Saturday Night Live” stars Kenan Thompson, Mikey Day, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, Bowen Yang, Chloe Fineman, Punkie Johnson, Andrew Dismukes and Michael Che and Colin Jost as the hosts of Weekend Update. The cast also includes James Austin Johnson, Sarah Sherman, Marcello Hernandez, Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow and Devon Walker as featured players. Kent Sublette, Alison Gates and Streeter Seidell serve as the head writers for the show, while Liz Patrick directs.
