SNL cold open mocks Pam Bondis Senate hearing
Saturday Night Live continues its 51st season with a sharp take on the bizarre, roundabout Senate Judiciary Committee hearing featuring President Trump’s attorney general, Pam Bondi.
Bondi, played by this week’s host Amy Poehler, sits before Congress to face an avalanche of alleged transgressions from the Trump administration — including the Epstein Files, the deployment of troops in American cities, and the indictment of former FBI chief James Comey.
Unsurprisingly, just like in real life, SNL’s Pam Bondi has no answers.
"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" asks Senator Grassley, played by James Austin Johnson. Bondi replies with a resounding "no."
Instead, the attorney general comes armed with insults for each Committee member. When that fails, she calls in backup: former SNL stalwart Tina Fey, nearly unrecognizable under layers of MAGA makeup, as Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
