Saturday Night Live opened the third episode of its new season spoofing this week's Jan. 6 select committee hearing.
Cast members portraying prominent lawmakers on the committee took turns blaming former President Donald Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, as well as mocking the investigation, before poking fun at footage released by the panel this week of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer coordinating with Vice President Mike Pence and other officials to restore order.
The committee then introduced video of Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, sitting on a giant gold toilet taking a phone call. The fictional Trump claims on the call that votes aren't real and that Apollo Creed is a close friend of his, before asking:"Is Pence dead yet?" He then held hands with his"best friend," Committee co-chair Liz Cheney , played by Heidi Gardner, who expressed regret over her decision to commit her political career to fighting the former president:"Whether you’re a Republican who’s not watching or a Democrat who’s nodding so hard your head is falling off, one person is responsible for this insurrection, Donald Trump, and one person will suffer the consequences, me.
A frazzled and furious Pelosi, played by Chloe Fineman, could be seen on the phone with the outgoing vice president while sitting next to a distracted Schumer, played by Sarah Sherman. As Pelosi asked when and how they'd be able to leave their secure location and return to the Capitol to certify President Joe Biden's electoral victory, Schumer attempted to complete a DoorDash food delivery order.
