Goober the Clown — Cecily Strong in serious Big Comfy Couch clown gear — recently made headlines after a strange but powerful "Weekend Update" segment on Saturday Night Live. In the sketch, Goober commented on the Texas abortion law by discussing her own abortion in her 20s...while twisting worm-shaped balloons and squirting water.
