Saturday Night Live took aim at President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks in a sketch with host Charli XCX that also seemingly made fun of the Nelk Boys podcast.
The sketch featured cast members Marcello Hernández, Andrew Dismukes and Emil Wakim as the hosts of a podcast called “Banger Boyz.” At the top of the episode, they announced that Trump has been elected, with help in part by his appearance on their show prior to the election.
In the middle of recording the episode, Hernández gets a call from Mar-a-Lago letting him know that Trump has nominated him to serve as Secretary of Commerce.
“What even is that?” Wakim asks, to which Dismukes answers: “I think he means he’s in charge of, like, all the commercials.”
Hernández giddily chimes in: “First thing I’m gonna do in office, I’m gonna fire that little GEICO Snake.”
Before the end of the show, Wakim has also received a call from the incoming president, nominating him as the ambassador to Iran. “I don’t know if I want to do that,” he says, meekly.
And, of course, host Charli XCX was there to provide interludes for advertisements, often chiming in with promos like: “Banger Boyz is brought to you by Cargo Condoms. The only condoms with pockets, Cargo Condoms. And by Zen Junior, nicotine pouches for kids. All the nicotine with that great cherry flavor, Zen Junior.”
