'SNL' Cold Open: Scarlett Johansson Spoofs Katie Britt's Weird SOTU Rebuttal
"I'm not performing. I'm not! I'm not!!"
I've seen Scarlett do comedy before so I knew she's good at it even though it's not her main thing, but I never knew she could be THIS good! Absolute masterclass 😂❤️
She's a damn good actress who was wasted by Marvel.
I'm a big MCU fan and I totally agree.
Ever see the marble columns sketch? She kills it.
Acting like you can't act is difficult. This is spot on.
I hadn't, thanks! 😄
I watched the whole thing earlier not realizing it was even her. The voice is completely different.

Thanks, I was unsuccessfully looking for that!

Thank you!
Jesus, Scarlett nailed all the creepy Karen energy so well.
I laughed way too hard when Scarlett called out the incredibly weird pivot to sex trafficking that wasn't routed in reality.
It's crazy how much Republicans love to talk about saving children, protecting kids from predators, but fuck immigrants, young moms, school children, brown people. Oh and let's ignore the religious pedos and the many many Republican pedos who still have a job.
George Carlin intensifies
The GOP is cool with helping kids as long as 1) they're still in the womb, or 2) guns weren't involved 😁
That was actually a pretty spot on impersonation.
Haha, that was definitely worth watching. Thank you!
I haven't found SNL that funny lately but this one made me laugh out loud. Perfect impersonation!
Is it me, or has she never been hotter? Is that weird?
Brunette ScarJo >>> Blonde ScarJo
That Colin is one lucky dude
“My tea is ready,” she said ominously, clanking her spoon around in a teacup before the camera cut to Kenan Thompson with tears streaming down his face.
I didn't get this reference, could someone explain it?
It’s from Get Out!
TY
That's a clever reference because she really did give off that energy.
I was totally prepared for Chloe Fineman to do this but Scarlett was a nice surprise. Hilarious!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Saturday Night Live‘s cold open was indeed what many had asked for: a biting parody of Alabama Sen. Katie Britt‘s cringey rebuttal to President Joe Biden‘s State of the Union address Thursday.
SNL‘s Britt, played by Scarlett Johansson, told viewers from the start that for the next few minutes, she would be “auditioning for the part of scary mom” and “performing an original monologue called ‘This Country Is Hell.
I am also selling these gorgeous bejeweled cross necklaces for QVC,” she went on, now portraying a host on the shopping network channel.
“My tea is ready,” she said ominously, clanking her spoon around in a teacup before the camera cut to Kenan Thompson with tears streaming down his face.
Lastly, Johansson’s character hinted at the lack of future political success that seems to have befallen those who have delivered State of the Union rebuttals.
Britt’s melodramatic response has not only been mocked online and on television, but GOP operatives, conservative Capitol Hill staffers and lawyers, and senior members of Donald Trump‘s 2024 campaign admitted to Rolling Stone how much of a letdown it was.
