After a month-long break, Saturday Night Live returned with a cold that contained a number of news topics that were on holiday during the program, including the controversy surrounding rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the GameStop situation, censorship on social media and Tom Brady’s return to the Super Bowl.
In the segment called “What else works?” Kate McKinnon has looked at some aspects of society, such as government, the economy, sports and vaccination, to see if it still works. Her first guest was Rep Greene (Cicely Strong), who, like the real representative of Georgia, began spewing conspiracy theories about the Parkland School shooting and causing a wildfire ‘Jewish space lasers’.
“And when your colleagues learned all about these hateful and psychotic things you said, what did they do?” Ask McKinnon.
“I was promoted to the education committee,” Strong’s Greene said.
After McKinnon realized that the government was no longer working, he reviewed the stock market with Pete Davidson’s new majority shareholder of GameStop, “Derrick Boner,” who helped establish that the stock market was no longer working either.
Next was social media – Mark Zuckerberg of Alex Moffat and Jack Dorsey of Mikey Day – and then the vaccination of vaccines, where McKinnon wondered how a country that vaccinated only a small percentage of its population had managed to get one Available to OJ Simpson (Kenan Thompson).
‘Teachers can not get the vaccine, but you can? People with long-term lung conditions, but you? ‘, McKinnon asked. “One of the first three percent of all Americans to get the vaccine was OJ Simpson?”
“Hey, guilty has been charged,” Thompson’s Simpson said.
To close the segment, McKinnon welcomed the only thing that seems to work, Tom Brady (played by SNL John Krasinski), who will return to the Super Bowl again next weekend, this time as quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“You’re still working. You are supposed to win football matches and you keep on winning football matches. “You may be the only thing in America still working,” McKinnon said. “So I think everyone should root for you, right?”
“Almost no one,” Krasinski’s Brady said.
