It’s been a good week for Saturday Night Live as their favourite politician to spoof this U.S. election, Donald Trump, became the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
SNL alumni Dana Carvey even returned to reprise his role as the Church Lady on the fictitious talk show “Church Chat”.
First she interviewed U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, played by Taran Killam, who recently dropped out of the Republican presidential nominee race after losing Indiana to Trump.
Referring to former U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner’s comment calling Cruz “Lucifer in the flesh,” Church Lady accused him of being a tad too “preachy.”
SNL may have harshly ridiculed Cruz during “Church Chat” but none of it really mattered because as SNL predicts in a skit later in the show, two years from now everyone will forget about him – including his wife.
The Church Lady then interviews Trump, played by Darrell Hammond, questioning whether he is actually religious.
To prove his piousness, he starts naming his favourite scriptures in the Bible, “Corinthians Part Deux” and “2 Genesis 2 Furious,” and quoting “love thy neighbour as thy self and like a good neighbour State Farm is there.”
The skit ends with Cruz being possessed by a demon declaring himself “lord of shadows” but is immediately insulted by Trump calling him “lord of the weak chins” and “you’re the first guy who got possessed and looks better.”
