Saturday Night Live reopened with a ridiculous talk show, a device that allows the show to tear up three embarrassed public figures.
This week it was Ted Cruz (Aidy Bryant), Andrew Cuomo (Pete Davidson) and Gina Carano (Cecily Strong) who were in a talk show called ‘ Oops, you did it again, presented by Britney Spears (Chloe Fineman).
Cruz was in the middle of a media storm this week after it came to light that he and his family were flying from Texas to Cancun for a vacation, just as the state was in an emergency when the cold weather left millions without power. has.
‘You literally left [Texas] and flew to Cancun for a family vacation, ‘Spears Cruz grilled.
“That’s right. And now I’m sitting in some hot water, which I think was said to be something no one in Texas has,” Cruz said.

“Do you want to apologize?” Ask Spears.
‘Absolutely. “I regret my actions over the past few days, with most flying United,” said Cruz. “I’m sorry, I’m pretty bad at human things.”
Spears asked, “Do you not understand why people call you a coward?”
“Yeah, a coward is actually the nicest word I’ve ever heard,” Cruz said.
Spears then goes on to Cruz’s initial explanation of why he went to Cancun: to be a ‘good father’ and to accompany his daughters on their journey.
‘Would a coward have the skills to blame his actions on his young daughters? You blamed your daughters! She asked.
‘Oh yes, the whole trip was the girls’ idea. They love Cancun. There is so much to do. The topless beach. Shots on Senor Frogs. Swim with sick dolphins. They love it. ”
Spears replied, “As someone who at a young age was to blame for others’ problems – maybe let your daughters out of it, because it can really mess with their heads.”
The next guest is Cuomo, who tried to manage the controversy over how he handled nursing homes during the Covid-19 pandemic. The state of New York has acknowledged that the number of deaths in such facilities is greatly underestimated.
‘Some of the people who died in the old age homes were not counted as deaths as old age homes. They were counted as hospital deaths, which basically happens at Disney World. People die and they move the corpses. They say: ‘I think Brenda died in the parking lot, not on the teacups. So we just did the Disney thing. ‘
“Don’t you think you should apologize?” Ask Spears.
“Yes,” Cuomo said reluctantly.
“What was that?” Ask Spears.
‘I said I was sorry, “he replied.
‘Look, it was not that difficult. Bill de Blasio says you need to be investigated. ”
“I would like to bury him in the highest grave this city has ever seen!” Cuomo said and became indignant again. ‘I’m going to hire an oboe to Rick Moran, so hard he’ll think he’s in universal pre-k again! I am sorry. I get a little angry every now and then and always. ‘
The last guest was Carano, from whom he was fired The Mandalorian after she posted a statement on Instagram comparing Jews beaten in Nazi Germany to the treatment of conservatives in America.
“I did nothing wrong,” Carano said. “No one can even explain what I did wrong. Explain it. “
Spears replies: “Well, on Instagram you said that conservatives have it just as bad as people living in Nazi Germany.”
“Okay, congratulations, you explained it. I would never have made that comparison if I knew everyone would be such a Nazi about it. ”
“Do you feel like you are a victim of the cancellation culture?” Ask Spears.
‘Absolutely. And I was canceled by Disney? Disney is the moral high ground? Have you recently heard Br’er Rabbit’s accent on the Splash Mountain ride? she replied.
Cuomo then interrupted: “Well, if you die from it, they will move the body.”
