- Cecily Strong played key witness Melissa Carone, who has gone viral for her messy and confusing testimony

SNL returned to the airwaves on Saturday night having been off for almost a month with Donald Trump‘s attempt to overturn the result of the 2020 election ripe for lampooning.
The show opened with Kate McKinnon’s portrayal of Rudy Giuliani‘s appearance at the Michigan legislature earlier this week.
It was all part of President Trump attempt to steal the election despite losing to Joe Biden by more than 7 million votes.

The joke centered around how Giuliani farted audibly during the hearing while speaking to Michigan legislators, before a colorful cast of characters took to the stand and proceeded to testify.
McKinnon’s Giuliani said she was bringing out witnesses who are ‘highly intelligent, barely intoxicated individuals.’
Cecily Strong appeared as Giuliani’s witness Melissa Carone, a freelance consultant who briefly worked for Dominion Voting Systems who alleged she witnessed voting fraud.
‘I swear to tell my whole story and nothing but my story, so help me Gob,’ Strong’s Carrone said.
In real life, Carone’s testimony appeared incoherent at time as she delivered a somewhat incoherent testimony and could be heard slurring her words.
Strong suggested through her caricature that she might have been drunk during the hearing.

Beck Bennett also appeared as Mike Lindell of My Pillow
‘I personally saw hundreds if not thousands of dead people vote,’ Strong’s Carone said. ‘I’m not lying. I signed an After David,’ she joked, meaning to say ‘affidavit’.
Heidi Gardner appeared playing a witness who said she ate ballots as the testimonies started to become increasingly bizarre, including a story about an alien abduction.
SNL cast member Beck Bennett then showed up as Mike Lindell of My Pillow alongside ‘Nicole Kidman’s character from The Undoing,’ played by SNL’s Chloe Fineman.
Pete Davidson and Kyle Mooney also managed to appear in the cold open as a couple of guys who were caught plotting to kidnap Michigan’s state governor.
Jason Bateman appeared as this week’s host -his first outing on the comedy sketch show since 2005.
‘The defense calls Nicole Kidman’s character from The Undoing,’ McKinnon’s Giuliani said as Chloe Fineman emerged as Kidman
Jason Bateman serves as this week’s host. He last hosted for SNL in 2005
