SNL bids farewell to Bondi
"Saturday Night Live" is bidding farewell to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The show kicked off its April 4 episode with a sketch tackling the news that President Donald Trump fired Bondi. In an unusual move for "SNL," though, it didn't feature James Austin Johnson's impression of Trump, who has become a cold open staple.
Instead, it depicted an NCAA Final Four post-game show and centered on Charles Barkley, played by Kenan Thompson, going off script several times to offer potentially controversial commentary on various non-basketball topics, including Bondi's ouster.
"As attorney general, Pam Bondi was, and I don't say this often, terrible," Thompson as Barkley said. "It is a shame when somebody gets fired, but we should all be glad that that freckle-chested dragon lady is gone."
