Saturday Night Live targeted President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks in a sketch with host Charli XCX that also seemed to mock the Nelk Boys podcast.
The sketch showed cast members Marcelo Hernandez, Andrew Dismukes, and Emile Wakim as hosts of a podcast called “Banger Boys.” At the top of the episode, they announced that Trump had been elected, aided in part by his appearance on their show before the election.
In the middle of recording the episode, Hernandez receives a phone call from Maralago informing him that Trump has nominated him for Secretary of Commerce.
“What’s that even?” Wakim asks, to which Dismukes replies: “I think it means he’s responsible for all the commercials.”
Hernandez chimes in giddily: “First thing I’m going to do in the office, I’m going to fire the little GEICO snake.”
Before the end of the show, Wakim also received a phone call from the incoming president, nominating him as ambassador to Iran. He says meekly: “I don’t know if I want to do it.”
And of course, host Charli XCX was there to provide commercial breaks, often chiming in with promotions such as: “Banger Boyz are brought to you by Cargo Condoms. The only condoms with pockets are Cargo Condoms. And from Zen Junior, nicotine pouches for kids. All nicotine in the awesome cherry flavor, Zen Junior.”
