SNL tackles Trump's Muslim ban in Snapchat Story sketch
The “Inside SoCal” party boys are back to investigate President Donald Trump’s “travelers ban on Muslims.”
Saturday Night Live‘s series of Snapchat Discover sketches continued Tuesday with Todd and Casey (cast members Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett) anchoring another installment of their web show. “As many of you know, we have a new president of the country or whatever, and he has recently did a travelers’ ban for — against muslims,” stumbles Todd. “What makes Muslims so bad? Is it just ’cause they’re of a different religion and might not always smoke or skate like us? That’s not fair to judge. I think this is a bad idea and actually a discrimination like Jackie Robinson in baseball, the old negro leagues.”
To find out what people really think about Trump’s ban, Todd went to a local mall to ask a shopper, whom he identified as Muslim, for her take — only she wasn’t actually Muslim. “Oh, that’s crazy,” he awkwardly responds. “It’s super interesting.”
The segment continues with breaking news about Lindsay Dunlap (Scarlett Johansson), “the finest girl in our school,” now single and back home after failing to make it in fashion school. When “Inside SoCal” correspondent KP tries asking her out, she vomits up her drink, but agrees, “Yeah, I’m down.”
