Amy Poehler was giving major attitude while opening this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” with a parody of Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Spoofing the attorney general’s testy Tuesday hearing with the Senate Judiciary Committee, the comic began by telling the committee, “My name is Pam Bondi, I spell it with an ‘I’ cause I ain’t gonna answer any of your questions.”
She was armed with ample insults as the inquiry got rolling, first refusing to reveal if President Donald Trump had ordered her to investigate his political enemies.
“I’m not going to discuss my private conversations with the president,” she told the committee. “I’m not telling you who said what, or who fell asleep in the middle of a sentence, or who kept calling me Ivanka while patting his lap.”
Asked if the Epstein files contained anything incriminating about President Trump, “SNL” imitation AG said, “I’m not even going to dignify that question with a lie … I tried reading the Epstein files, but I got really bored. It’s so repetitive,” she added. ‘Trump this, Trump that.’ Yawn.”
When the president’s decision to send troops into American cities came up, “SNL” surprised audiences with a cameo from Tina Fey as Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
After making an entrance while carrying a giant gun, she told everyone, “That’s right, it’s me Kristi Noem … I’m the rarest type of person in Washington, D.C. — A brunette that Donald Trump listens to.”
As Fey’s faux Noem demanded an end to the ongoing government shutdown, she took a second to praise the “heroes” at the heart of the country’s immigration crackdown.
“Our government agents are working without pay,” she said. “Luckily my boys at ICE don’t mind, they’re in it for the love of the game.”
Fey and Poehler then tag-teamed a pitch to potential deportation goons, asking DHS hopefuls, “Do you need a job now? Are you a big tough guy? Tough enough for the army or police? Do you take supplements that you bought at a gas station? Do you like to use zip ties because people in your life don’t trust you with keys? Then buckle up and slap on some Oakleys, big boy. Welcome to ICE.”
