Just hours after the Senate confirmed Brett Kavanaugh's appointment as a Supreme Court judge, "Saturday Night Live" aired its second episode of its 44th season. And the decision wasted no time, starting with an open and cold skit that saw CNN enter the GOP locker room.
Kenan Thompson found Don Lemon at the press office, noting that there were some "breaks" for staff, while Heidi Gardner was political correspondent Dana Bash, who described the atmosphere in the locker room as "nothing less than euphoric".
"Many pacemakers are being tested tonight," she said.
Mitch McConnell, of Beck Bennett, said: "Everyone is excited – whites over 60 to whites over 70". Putting the victory in context, he added, "It's up there with Vietname, of course, it's historic."
Kate McKinnon has resumed her new role as Lindsey Graham, who gives Bonnner's Bash a Gardner Kavanaugh world champion hat and says, "How amazing is it? We have really worried a lot of women today, but I am not pregnant, so I'm mad.
Pete Davidson, Mikey Day and Cecily Strong played new roles in this skit, representing Jeff Flake, Joe Manchin and Susan Collins, respectively. McKinnon Graham said they "could not have done it" without Collins.

Meanwhile, Davidson's Flake claimed to be "really sad" about the process, "what comes out of my bitch face at rest," he said before McKinnon slapped him a pie in his face.
"Seriously, this one is for the fans," McKinnon said. "They have been there all week encouraging us, screaming outside our offices. And I know they agree with us because they shout "Me too".
Not to be accused of partisan favoritism, "SNL" also usurped Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer in the skit. When asked what was wrong for Kavanaugh to be confirmed, Alex Moffat, while Schumer answered, "Well, my doctor thinks it could be sciatica" before shrugging his shoulders. to talk about the real loss of the blue party, saying, "That's what we are doing now.
"We thought that this moment would be better than the hearing of Anita Hill, because Dr. Ford was white," he continued. "Then it turned out that Brett Kavanaugh was white too, and we were completely blinded by that."
But of course, "SNL" was not used with Kavanaugh. The segment "Weekend Update" of the episode began with Colin Jost who pointed out that Kavanaugh had been confirmed "50 to 48" and that "50 is the lowest number of votes … for a justice of the year. But keep in mind that this is also the most "yes" that Kavanaugh has ever heard. "This caused mixed reactions from the studio audience, but Jost was not deterred or deviated from his scenario.
"Even if you look at Dr. Ford's testimony – that a lot of people do not seem to have a hard time doing it – Kavanaugh did a whole bunch of disqualifying things last week. He basically lied under oath during a job interview to become a judge – it's like fooling his wife during her marriage, "Jost said.
Jost also commented on Kavanaugh 's letter of opinion in the Wall Street Journal, pointing out that the man had declared that he would be an open – minded judge, with what Jost would be. is said to agree: "because you have to be open minded enough to try the devil 's triangle. "
Michael Che said that the FBI's investigation was "pretty ridiculous" but actually had a question to ask the five Republican women who had voted for Kavanaugh, wondering if they were hostages. "It's not good for any of us – and I say it to myself because if these Republicans do not care about you, they do not care about me. If a crying white woman can not get justice, there is no hope for my black man in Jordan. "
Jost also expressed his anger at people like Cory Booker, who called Kavanaugh wrong when his first appointment was announced and then had "nowhere to go" when it appeared that he was accused of committing bad things. "It's like watching OJ advertise Hertz in the '80s and say," It's the worst thing he does, "he said.
