Speaking to the White House about her rise to the highest court in the country last week, Jackson said: “We have come a long way in perfecting our union,” said co-presenter Colin Jost before claiming that her words were “an immediate quote from Ben. Affleck’s proposal to JLo “. Moving on, Jost cited the Gridiron dinner, after which dozens of officials, including members of Congress and White House staff, tested positive for the coronavirus. “The problem was that a lot of people took off their masks during the orgy after dinner,” Jost joked. Co-presenter Michael Che said that former President Trump said in a recent interview that he wanted to join the march to the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, but the Secret Service did not let him. “Also preventing him from invading the Capitol?

Earlier in the day, President Biden (James Austin Johnson) congratulated Jackson (Ego Nwodim) at the White House on his confirmation. “I bet you can’t say that three times fast,” Nwodim’s Jackson joked with Johnson’s Biden after stumbling over the pronunciation of her name at the top of the sketch. “I’m shocked that I was able to say it once late,” she said, adding that she had fulfilled a campaign promise when she went to court. “This is an election promise and there are only 74 left,” he said. Jackson, in return, said she was happy to do her job: “To work twice as hard as a White man in my entire life and then spend a week listening to Ted Cruz call me a pedophile.” ‘SNL’ COLD OPEN: WHITE HOUSE ASKS TIKTOK STARS TO HELP END RUSSIAN WAR IN UKRAINE After fake Biden left Jackson alone to gather his thoughts in the Oval Office, the judge was visited by the ghosts of former judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Kate McKinnon), former judge Thurgood Marshall (Kenan Thompson), Harriet Tubman) and Jackie Robinson (Chris Redd). Ginsburg warned Jackson that if it was something like the late justice – which became a symbol of liberal, feminist pop culture – “White ladies will start wearing your face buttons like a sticker,” I “voted.” . “ McKinnon’s Ginsburg also fired a shot at Sen. Ted Cruz, joking that the children’s book he brought to Jackson’s attention during her confirmation hearing (actually because of concerns about critical race theory) should have been called “Mrs. Cancun “, before declaring:” This is Ginsburn! ”
The Tubman ghost, who helped free slaves through the Underground Railroad, expressed Jackson concern when a judge told her she had her job for the rest of her life. The abolitionist said if Jackson needed help getting out of her new appointment: “Light two candles and meet me at the farmhouse at midnight.” CLICK HERE TO RECEIVE THE FOX NEWS APPLICATION Jackie Robinson, the first black MLB player, also came in, promisingly doubting Jackson that being first is “a bit of fun. Yes, it ‘s fun.” “Here is my advice,” he said. “Watch out for the batteries. “They will throw away so many batteries.” “I think the Supreme Court is very civilized about that,” Jackson replied. Robinson promised her that “they said about baseball, but they threw away those batteries again.” The guest-presenter of the episode was Jake Gyllenhaal and the music guest was Camila Cabello.
