SNL Video: Tina Fey And Amy Poehler Play Kristi Noem And Pam Bondi As They Insult Senators And Defend Trump
Amy Poehler is back on Saturday Night Live, and she brought an old friend along with her.
Poehler hosted this week's episode — which actually aired on the 50th anniversary of SNL's debut — and got things started right away in the cold open, playing a hostile U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi as she reluctantly testified before a Senate committee. Poehler's Bondi scoffed at the Senators' queries: "My name is Pam Bondi. I spell it with an I, because I ain't gonna answer any of your questions."
She lobbed insults at the Senators, too, telling Mikey Day's Richard Blumenthal that "even people in Connecticut go, 'Damn, that guy's white as hell" and saying that Dick Durbin's name "sounds like something that Diddy got arrested for." She also contended that she's tried reading the unreleased Epstein files, "but I got really bored. It's so repetitive. 'Trump this, Trump that.' Yawn."
Poehler's Bondi then brought out a nearly unrecognizable Tina Fey as Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem, wearing blue contacts and carrying an assault rifle. "I'm the rarest type of person in Washington, D.C.," Noem told us. "A brunette that Donald Trump listens to." Noem then made a pitch to people to join ICE: "Do you take supplements that you bought at a gas station? Do you like to use zip-ties because people in your life don't trust you with keys? Then buckle up and slap on some Oakleys, big boy, welcome to ICE!"
