This SNL cold opening hits pretty hard to home

[vercetti2021]

Cecily Strong is accurately portraying Sinema to a T

[CatWoman]

1. they are picking on all the dems

and it is so damn funny

[vercetti2021]

3. Yep lol

I love Ego's line. I was created in a lab to give Tucker Carlson a heart attack. Oh honey we wish!

[CatWoman]

4. LOL!!!!

i spit out my water on that one

[liberalla]

2. Yep, she's doing a good job with Sinema!

5. Star Trek: Ego Quest

Jeff Bezos in space

[Tactical Peek]

6. film at eleven

[DURHAM D]

7. The new cast member who played President Biden

was not very good. He was actually boring.

Cecily was great as usual.

Where is Kate?

[redstateblues]

11. The guy playing Joe was not good

[LeftInTX]

12. I also didn't think the one who played Ilhan was very good either.

But she didn't have much of a role.

[Solomon]

19. Jim Carrey plays the best Joe Biden

Guess they didn't want to pay him enough to do it.

[LiberatedUSA]

22. I disagree.

It was painful to watch. Joe Biden doesn’t act like The Mask or Ace Ventura.

8. Ok this is the only SNL thread I've seen

but did anyone watch the musical performer tonite? I’ve already forgotten her name 😐 and her music was nice, much different from artists they’ve had in the past … but just curious
Other than boots, a guitar and a guitar strap , what was she wearing ?
🤔

13. Kacey Musgraves

And what a great song that is!

[tanyev]

17. I wondered about that, too.

Every other time I've seen her she's been standing, wearing some fabulous outfit that looks fabulous on her, so when the light came on showing her sitting on a stool I thought, "Huh, that's different."

At first I was focused on the song, but as it went on I'm thinking, "Wait, what's she wearing? Does she have anything on?" And once I realized that, I was too distracted to pay attention to the song. How did they get her out on the stage like that? Those band members behind her would be getting quite an eyeful. Why do that on live TV? etc.

In hindsight, the still photo shot of her in a show promo was a head and shoulders shot also not showing any clothes. Maybe she's going through a country-ish Madonna phase.

[dweller]

18. Yeh same here

Once I noticed it was a real distraction to the music, I thought I must be missing something in the setup, and certainly she was making a point, but I didn’t get it

21. She was nude

And it was apparently a reference to Forrest Gump, when Jenny was playing guitar naked on stage. She tweeted a pic of the scene.

[tanyev]

23. Ahh. I never did see Forrest Gump.

Thanks for the explanation.

[Stinky The Clown]

24. Link to vid cuz . . . .

. . . . . curiosity.

9. Here's the video for those who missed it:

SNL: Biden Unites Democrats Cold Open

President Biden (James Austin Johnson), Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (Cecily Strong), Sen. Joe Manchin (Aidy Bryant), Rep. Ilhan Omar (Ego Nwodim) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Melissa Villaseñor) address the president’s infrastructure bill.

[smirkymonkey]

10. I knew it would be Cecily!

She was pretty good!

[Celerity]

14. video

[malaise]

15. Thanks

[Celerity]

16. yw!

[GoCubsGo]

20. I fell asleep during the middle of it.

It was not impressive. I agree about Cecily Strong's portrayal of Sinema, but I found what I did see of the skit to be lazy and lame. Stephen Colbert does a better Joe Biden than they guy they used.
