With idiots in charge, the scripts practically write themselves. Well done, SNL.

Who can tell these days?

But I'm unable to view the video. As a second class not-American person, I object strongly!
SNL clips are barred for some reason.

It was one of the best Cold Opens in a long time, IMO. They portrayed numerous people as having connections to hell and it was cool to see Jon Lovitz appear as Dershowitz.

Brilliant sketch. I love Kate McKinnon as the devil. And Jon Lovitz as Dershowitz! An instant classic!

My biggest lol moment while simultaneously feeling horrified: Moscow Mitch trying to smile.

Those writers and actors are definitely at the top of their game.

And the funniest moment was McConnell's attempt to smile!
