“Saturday Night Live” opened its show this weekend by skewering Fox News’ top-rated host Tucker Carlson and some of the U.S. Senate s top Republicans in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s acquittal in his second impeachment trial.
“There’s a lot to cover tonight including the impeachment,” Alex Moffat’s Carlson began.
“So in place of my usual monologue, here’s a loose collection of scaremongering non sequiturs,” Moffat said skewering the culture war in the U.S. “Is AOC hiding in your house right now? I wouldn’t put it past her. Pronouns for dogs? Come on, everybody knows they’re boys. Pixar: Is it making our kids depressed or gay? Pick one!”
