“If you come near me anywhere, just remember that I have hip-hop friends and country friends – two populations who own guns,” said Matt Gaetz, a scandal-ridden and lap-dancing promiser. Saturday Night Live tonight in uncertain terms by Lil Nas X in the cold open.

Kicking off another installment of the mock celeb mock show hosted by Britney Spears Oops, you did it again and with a call to “talk of pariahs” Georgia, home of a new law on the oppression of voters, SNL went for the jugular and drew blood – much of it.

“Let me remind people, it was not the true God, it was just my friend Gary,” said Lil Nas X of Redd as the man in the robe and long white beard left the stage. In recent decades, the part of the opener would have made the phones ring from the Comcast owner, as Sinead O’Conner could tell you. But in the first week of April 2021, it was the tame piece that was ripped from the headlines.
In this vein, the growing ray of Gaetz’s alleged sex scandal intersects with minors and claims of extortion and more, plus a “culture of assault” played by Kate McKinnon, promoted by Pepe Le Pew. Space jam continued – and now yes, it’s a roaring start.
“I would like to be at a point in my career to turn down projects, but there are not many parts for an old French stink bug,” McKinnon, a smoking rodent stressed by French, told Spears and Lil Nas, who plays Chloe Fineman. X. “The parts come down to me and Gérard Depardieu, and if you think I’m the problem, I have two words for you: Speedy Gonzales. And you did not hear it from me, but the FBI is 99% sure that Yosemite Sam was at the Capitol riots. ”
McKinnon was, as usual, ten tones lower, but during the Spears’ fictional Vegas-based program, Lil Nas X of Redd was a surprise that would turn into a regular series in any other season of the late NBC series.
In the real world, the singer of “Old Town Road” was recently “attacked by the rare combination of the Catholic Church and Nike”, as Fineman’s Spears put it so succinctly, for his legally dubious and human bloodthirsty Satan Shoes. hit on March 31 with a temporary restraining order for copyright infringement by the sneaker giant. ‘They’re closed idiots … people are scared of me because I’m different, but I’m really your typical gay, black, country rapper. sneaker entrepreneur, ”declares Redd’s sleeping Lil Nas X. ‘I put on my pants like everyone else, one turnless one at a time,’ ‘he added, and a large socially distributed studio audience laughed.
With all the gold, the payout was Davidson’s sly “incredible Florida” Gaetz. Perfect to the point, Davidson’s Gaetz, a self-described ‘ladies’ man, issued a defense that ‘people only target me because I supported Donald Trump.’ The cementing of the IDP fact is stranger than SNL Fiction, when asked by Fineman’s Spears whether the ominous scandal could have hurt him in mid – 2022, Davidson’s Gaetz replied: “Weirdly, in my district, they can help.”
“I do not know, Matt, I think I can spot a teenage predator if I see one,” Fineman’s Spears kicked him to death, later declaring that Gaetz would be judged by his face. ‘After all, I was going The Mickey Mouse Club. ”

First presented by Judas and the Black Messiah star and two-time Oscar nominee Daniel Kaluuya, tonight SNL comes at the end of a week in which Gaetz literally became politically toxic to even Fox News Channel. From the conservative media, Mount Olympus, sent off after a disastrous interview with Tucker Carlson in which the Trump favorite tried to link claims in his own scandal to accusations of a very different nature that were addressed to the first host earlier. Gaetz continued to lose staff, credibility and get deeper stuck in misconduct with the Formula 1 speed.
The former Gaetz, who has never met a camera he did not like, has revealed that he has been under investigation by the Justice Department since last year, when his friend Trump was POTUS. The growing investigation involves allegations that the congressman had sex with a minor, paid women for sex and perhaps more corruption. There are also officially unrelated whispers about Gaetz’s enchanting co-legislators with nude photos of women he slept with. No one sticking his neck out for anyone, the former Famous apprentice host said nothing to help save his rapidly sinking protégé.
On the other side, SNL tonight gloriously attached an anchor to Gaetz’s public profile.
