"SNL" Attacks Smollett's Controversy in a Parody of "Shark Tank"



[ad_1]

"Saturday Night Live" plunged into Jussie Smollett's bazaar with a "Shark Tank" parody called "Shark Tank: Legal Edition". Controversial lawyers – from Michael Avenatti (Pete Davidson) to Rudy Giuliani (Kate McKinnon) and Jeanine from Fox News Pirro (Cecily Strong) listened to celebrity speeches in hot water begging them to take their stuff.

"Hi everyone, you will not believe it, but Donald Trump himself attacked me in front of the studio," says Chris Redd, Smollett, while the audience moaned. The actor was charged by Chicago police with organizing a hate attack against himself because he was unhappy with his salary for "Empire". When Redd is told that there are surveillance cameras on the outside, he drops his story.

"Jussie, why are you here exactly today," Avenatti asks Davidson.

"I broke humanity?", Replies Redd's Smollet. "But if you take my case, I propose spoilers for the next season of" Empire. "I die."

Pirro recuses herself because she is just "too excited" that a gay black man has problems.

Beck Bennett played the first competitor, Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, recently charged with soliciting prostitution.

"Sharks, I am currently in hot water following an accusation that I went to a spa in Florida and that turned out to be a not so happy ending," Bennett's Kraft explained. "I'm looking for a lawyer who will ensure that no one sees the video of my 77-year-old pork skin tipping over."

Avenatti then said in a tweet that he would play Davidson next week.
