In a week that saw George Santos participating in Cameo, the fourth GOP presidential debate, and the Fox News “Town Hall” with Donald Trump where only Sean Hannity was allowed to ask questions, looks like a lot of food for Saturday Night Live to create a cold open-skewering system. Instead, they made the unexpected decision to drive Claudine Gay, Sally Kornbluth, and Liz Magill—the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania, respectively—who testified before Congress. on Tuesday about the sudden spate of terrorist attacks on college campuses across America (including their own) since the Hamas-Israel war began on October 7.
To say that justice has not gone well for educational leaders is an understatement, as evidenced by the Magill decision. to resign his appointment, which was announced on Saturday; but SNL also struggled with trying to make fun of this week’s cold snap.
The show, which was staged as C-SPAN, saw Kornbluth (Chloe Fineman), Magill (Heidi Gardener), and Gay (Ego Nwodim) being questioned, but eventually faced some direct questions by attitude towards the religion on their campuses. But the “MAGA superstar” Elise Stefanik (Chloe Troast) was the most attracted to her anger show-over all. SNL and Tuesday. By way of introduction, the New York congressman warned that he would “shout questions at these women like I am Billy Eichner,” and he did just that, beginning with: “Antisemitism: Yes or not?” and “Yes or no: Is calling for the killing of Jews against the moral code for Harvard?”
After both Gay and Magill gave unanswered questions, an angry Stefanik offered Kornbluth “the chance to steal,” but warned him to “remember if you don’t say ‘yes,’ you will. me look good, which is very difficult to do. So I ask you directly: Do you think killing is bad? Kornbluth responded with his own question: “Can I give an answer in writing at a later date?”
“Am I winning this trial? Someone who sticks with me,” shouted Stefanik who was visibly happy.
Stefanik explained that he was there that day because “there is no place for hate speech on college campuses. The hate speech is in Congress, on Elon Musk’s Twitter, at private dinners with my donors, and in public speeches by my husband, Donald Trump.
The real star of the show, as usual, is Kenan Thompson, who briefly appeared as the president of the University of Phoenix online, who just wants to play with the heads of some colleges. indeed. And his brief appearance was the only part of the film that elicited any real laughter from the audience.
