SNL Mocks University Presidents' Evasive Answers at Antisemitism Hearing
TL;DR
Saturday Night Live's cold open parodied the recent congressional hearing on antisemitism on college campuses, featuring the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania. The sketch struggled to effectively satirize the incident, with the most attention going to "MAGA superstar" Elise Stefanik and her performative outrage. Kenan Thompson's brief appearance as the president of the online University of Phoenix was the highlight of the sketch.
