#SNL ICEBERG SKIT MOVIE#

Jost interviewed the iceberg, played by actor Bowen Yang, that sank the ship. 'Weekend Update' hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che touched on some of the most notable news stories from last week, but the segment dedicated to the upcoming anniversary of the 1912 sinking of the RMS Titanic garnered plenty of laughs from the audience and social media. “But when you think about it, 17 ain’t that young fam,” he quipped. However, the weatherman, portrayed by Chris Redd, had a different opinion. While the four struggled to agree on whether Chauvin would be found guilty, the anchors were able to agree that Matt Gaetz’s sex trafficking scandal was awful. “She means every single time,” Nwodim added. McKinnon noted that police have “historically” been found not guilty in similar cases, but Thompson and Nwodim had a different recollection of the past.

Nwodim and Thompson responded, “Well.” Nwodim explained, “Let’s just say, we’ve seen this movie before.”

“That sounds like we all agree: there is no way Derek Chauvin walks away from all of this,” McKinnon said. While the group agreed on the compelling evidence against Chauvin, the two Black anchors were skeptical about whether justice would be served. The four started off discussing the trial of Derek Chauvin, the fired Minneapolis police officer who faces two murder charges and one manslaughter charge for the death of George Floyd. The opening sketch featured a parody of the fictional news program “Eye on Minnesota,” which featured castmembers Kenan Thompson, Ego Nwodim, Kate McKinnon, and Alex Moffat portraying news anchors.
