CNN covers President Biden’s (Mikey Day) State of the Union address and Republican Senator Katie Britt's (Scarlett Johansson) response.I knew this would be the cold open, but I had no idea that Scarlett Johansson would play Senator Katie Britt. Surprise! I guess it pays to be married to one of the hosts of Weekend Update, which is up next with more State of the Union coverage.
Weekend Update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che tackle the week's biggest news, like Marjorie Taylor Greene heckling Biden during his State of the Union address, Democrats criticizing Biden for calling migrants "illegals" and Republican Senator Katie Britt's video response.Looks like Colin got the better jokes last night.
Weekend Update had no entertainment news and no interviews, which meant that it ignored tonight's Oscars, an easy target. Never fear, SNL had an entire sketch sending up the awards, Moulin Rouge.
PBS host Ken Burnt (Mikey Day) takes a look back at the 2001 film Moulin Rouge starring Nicole Kidman (Ariana Grande) and Ewan McGregor (Bowen Yang).Go Glinda and Pfannee from Wicked! Yes, Ariana Grande and Bowen Yang are in the movie together. Sometimes it pays to read the comments.
I could end here, as that sketch justified this post as the Sunday entertainment feature, but my wife asked me to include the following video about the State of the Union from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: Nickelodeon’s State Of The Union Simulcast.
Addressin’ the nation and Congress is he!Joseph Biden! That's a great parody, but it might actually be a good idea to get kids interested in politics. Spongebob Squarepants has taught them when Leif Erikson Day is. Hinga Dinga Durgen!
That's it for today's recap. Enjoy tonight's Academy Awards, for tomorrow is a double anniversary of tragedy, the pandemic arriving in Michigan and the Fukushima triple disaster. Stay tuned.
