President Trump’s alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels dominated an already packed news schedule this past week, and the details were enough to leave everyone wishing that brain bleach was a real thing. It is the kind of scandal that is tailor-made for parody, so viewers were waiting to see how SNL would handle the story and how much Purell would be on hand.
Weekend Update did not disappoint with their take, bringing on Cecily Strong as Stormy Daniels to explain how this one might be on us a little, America. Daniels broke down her surprise at becoming a hero, pointing out how desperate so many are due to the current administration.
“I know, it’s crazy, right? I’m all over Huffington Post and Daily Beast. I’m like a liberal hero, even though I’m a Republican porn star who loves Sarah Palin. Things are so bad right now, there are just so many women just desperately trying to figure out how to be empowered by me. And the best they can say is that I’m a female director.”
She continued, saying “I get it. I’m not what these people envisioned what their hero would look like, but guess what, America? I’m the hero you deserve right now.” After hearing about all of the lurid ways that you “get a Stormy,” many viewers might walk away slightly chastened.
