‘Saturday Night Live’ takes on R. Kelly in cold open, giving jokes about President Trump a brief rest
SNL takes on Gayle King’s interview with R. Kelly. By Travis M. Andrews Travis M. Andrews Pop culture reporter covering music, movies, TV, comedy and celebrity culture Email Bio Follow March 10 at 12:53 AM “Saturday Night Live” threw a curveball by taking a break from hammering President Trump in this week’s cold open and instead focusing on another powerful man who has been accused of wrongdoing: R. Kelly.
The show’s Kelly asks King to “just call me ‘Victim,’” but she declines the offer, instead just jumping in: “Why exactly are you doing this interview?” The sketch picks up steam toward the end, when SNL’s Kelly asks when the interview is set to begin, to which a beguiled King informs him it’s already begun — leading to this darkly funny exchange that references a VHS tape that reportedly shows Kelly engaging in sexual activity with minor.“There’s literally one right in front of you,” comes the response from SNL’s King.
