It didn’t take Saturday Night Live very long to go back to doing what they’ve done best this season: rip on politics. From the get go Kate McKinnon did her best Jeff Sessions by acting out a memorable scene from Forrest Gump. McKinnon acted as the disgraced Attorney General while sitting on a park bench next to Leslie Jones who plays the nurse from that memorable bus stop scene that took place way back in 1994.
“My name’s Jeff, Jeff Sessions. I’m the attorney general of the whole United States.” “I always say life is like a box of chocolates,” McKinnon continues before offhandedly observing, “Sure are a lot of brown ones in there.” McKinnon goes back and forth about her communication with Russians mimicking Sessions posturing during this entire political scandal in which Sessions has been claiming not to remember ever speaking to the Russians during the Trump campaign or any other time for that matter.
But the highlight of the skit came when Octavia Spencer came rolling in as her character Missy Jackson from The Help. If any of you remember Minny’s chocolate cake scene then you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. If not, check out the skit below because it was a hit.
