Dana Carvey reprised his Saturday Night Live character Church Lady for the first time since SNL‘s post-2016 election show, this time questioning presidential son Hunter Biden (David Spade), as well as former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz and MLB free agent Juan Soto.
Biden, Church Lady said, “is someone who actually is a lot like Jesus, because he also has a dad named Joseph whose life is made way more complicated because of him.”
“Haven’t been here in a while,” Biden began. “I’ve been laying low a little bit.”
“At least you haven’t been doing a podcast,” replied Church Lady, before chiding him for some of his past behavior.
The recipient of a presidential pardon, Biden told his host, “I thought it was a good thing for the father to forgive the son, right?”
Church Lady replied, “Last time I checked, Jesus wasn’t walking around in a robe with no underwear, hanging out with prostitutes.”
“Uh, I think he was,” Biden countered.
Church Lady mentioned how many Republicans opposed the pardon, prompting Biden to say, “Much like Trump, they went after me because of my last name and all the illegal things I did.”
“I’ve gone through a lot, but my dad loves me unconditionally, and that’s the greatest gift of all,” he continued. “Also, to anyone who’s seen any of those laptop photos, just remember, the camera takes off two inches.”
As for Gaetz (Sarah Sherman), Church Lady urged him to repent. “There’s only 17 days left until Christmas.”
Gaetz replied: “You had me at 17.”
And to Soto, who is currently signed to the Yankees but is considering other teams, Church Lady said, “As a Christian, why not spend your time and money helping the needy and the less fortunate?”
Soto answered: “You’re right. Maybe I’ll sign with the Mets.”
