SNL features Church Lady interviewing Matt Gaetz and Hunter Biden in cold open sketch

independent.co.uk — December 8, 2024 at 06:01 PM UTC

On December 7, "Saturday Night Live" featured a cold open with Dana Carvey's Church Lady interviewing Matt Gaetz and Hunter Biden. The sketch humorously addressed recent scandals involving both figures, calling 2024 "the most satanic year in history." Gaetz, portrayed by Sarah Sherman, faced scrutiny over allegations of wrongdoing, including claims related to a minor. He recently withdrew from consideration for Attorney General amid an ethics inquiry, which House Republicans voted to keep under wraps. David Spade played Hunter Biden, who discussed his father's recent pardon for past offenses. The sketch ended with a song reflecting on the holiday season and the controversies surrounding both men.
