Actors Bill Hader and Ben Stiller made guest appearances on “Saturday Night Live” during the weekend, parodying Michael Cohen’s seven-hour testimony on Capitol Hill, which consumed the attention of Washington and the media.
The cast started the show with a reenactment of Cohen’s opening statement Wednesday to the House Oversight and Reform Committee, in which the former attorney and fixer for President Trump declared that Trump “is a racist, he is a con man, and he is a cheat.”
“I want this to stay professional,” SNL’s Kenan Thompson, who portrayed Chairman Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.), spelling out the ground rules for the hearing. “If you hear something outrageous, please do not ooh and aah. This is not ‘Married . . . With Children.’”
Then he made a pointed observation.
“For any other president, this hearing would be the most d------ and humiliating moment of their lives,” Thompson’s Cummings said. “But for Trump, it’s just Wednesday.”
