Amy Poehler returns saturday night liveshe also brought an old friend with her.
Poehler hosts this week’s show – which actually airs on its 50th anniversary saturday night livepremieres — and begins immediately with a cold open, playing the antagonistic U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who reluctantly testifies before a Senate committee. Poehler’s Bundy scoffed at the senator’s inquiry: “My name is Pam Bundy. I spell it with an I because I’m not going to answer any of your questions.”

She also hurled insults at senators, telling Mickey Day’s Richard Blumenthal that “even people in Connecticut are like, ‘Damn, that guy’s so white,'” and saying Dick Durbin’s name “sounds like what Diddy got arrested for.” She also claimed that she tried reading the unreleased Epstein documents, “but I was really bored. It was so repetitive. ‘Trump this, Trump that.’ Yawn.”
Poehler’s Bundy then cast Tina Fey as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who is nearly unrecognizable in blue contact lenses and armed with an assault rifle. “I’m the rarest thing in Washington, D.C.,” Noem told us. “The brunette Donald Trump listens to.” Noem then pitches people on joining ICE: “Do you take supplements you buy at the gas station? Do you like using zip-ties because the people in your life don’t trust you to hand them your keys? Then buckle up, put on some Oakley glasses, big boy, welcome to ICE!”
