Saturday Night Live<\/em> went with the week’s biggest media stories for its cold open: The revelations from Dominion Voting Systems bombshell filing in its defamation lawsuit against Fox News.<\/p>\n

Once again choosing the setting of Fox & Friends <\/em>to skewer the network, hosts Steve Doocy (Mikey Day), Ainsley Earhardt (Heidi Gardner) and Brian Kilmeade (Bowen Yang) explained the revelations and why the network hasn’t covered the case.<\/p>\n

“Rupert Murdoch admitted that Fox News aired election fraud conspiracies to get ratings even though everyone at Fox knew they were false,” Day’s Doocy says.<\/p>\n

“Uh oh. I didn’t. Loop a brother in next time,” Yang’s Kilmeade says. <\/p>\n

“You may be wondering, if it is such a big story, why haven’t I heard about it on Fox?” Gardner’s Earhardt says.<\/p>\n

“I think it is because they are suing us for $1.6 billion,” Kilmeade says.<\/p>\n

Doocy corrects him. “No, It’s complete BS. The media is taking private texts from Fox news hosts and showing them completely out of context.”<\/p>\n

Fox News actually has contended that Dominion, in its court filings, has taken texts and emails gathered in its lawsuit and taken them out of context. <\/p>\n

In the skit, the Fox & Friends<\/em> hosts try to explain. <\/p>\n

They point to one text from Sean Hannity: Rudy Giuliani is insane<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“How could you leave out the rest,” Kilmeade says. “It’s Rudy Giuliani is insanse-ly hot.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

The skit also featured an appearance from Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO who is one of the network’s most prolific sponsors — and one of the most visible of conspiracy theorists about the 2020 election. <\/p>\n

Before he comes on, Kilmeade warns him, “Because of this lawsuit, our lawyers have asked you please don’t say anything crazy about Dominion.”<\/p>\n

Lindell responds, “No problem. I’ve been briefed. I know the rules. Every Dominion machine has a Venezuelan oompah loompah inside!”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
