SNL Women
Play Trump Administration
‘SNL’ Should Have Women Play Trump’s Entire Administration
So, Trump is supposedly upset that a woman played his White House press secretary on “Saturday Night Live” last weekend.
Politico is reporting that seeing
Sean Spicer depicted by a thunderous Melissa McCarthy bothered the
president so much, particularly because he “doesn’t like his people to
look weak.” Spicer himself said that he thought McCarthy “could dial back” the impression. The impression clearly bothered them both.
As a result, people have been excitedly starting to call for more women
to play the men in Trump’s administration, hoping to further injure the
president’s always sensitive ego, and maybe cause some behind-the-scenes
drama.
Rosie O’Donnell, a longtime critic of the president, has already said she would be willing to play Trump
adviser Steve Bannon if called upon by Lorne Michaels.
To which we say: Why stop there?
It’s time for “SNL” to throw the entire administration into a gigantic hissy fit by having women play them all.

To help out the people over
at “SNL,” we decided to do a bit of the casting work for them, just so
they can think about it. Look, “SNL” can do what it wants. But if what
it wants is to create an existential crisis at the White House, it
should do this.
Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer
We already know this one is perfect
No need to explain why.
No need to explain why.
Rosie O’Donnell as Steve Bannon
Two things to ask yourself
about these impressions: First, will the impression be funny? And
second, will it irk the president and the people below him?
In the case
of Rosie O’Donnell playing President
Steve Bannon, the answer on both counts is clearly yes.
Rachel Dratch as Reince Priebus
Have Rachel Dratch pull off a
Debbie Downer-like character while impersonating White House Chief of
Staff Reince Preibus. You already know that’s how things are going down
between him and Bannon these days anyway.
Kristen Wiig as Jared Kushner
This one just works. If you don’t get it, then I don’t know what to tell you, you unimaginative sack of garbage.
Janeane Garofalo as Steven Mnuchin
Janeane Garofalo’s first run at “SNL” didn’t go well
at all. But a lot has changed on the show since the mid-1990s, and if
there were ever a reason to bury the hatchet, this is it. Garofalo would
make a hilarious Goldman-Sachs banker-turned-treasury-secretary. I also
promise you that was the first time the words “hilarious Goldman-Sachs
banker-turned-treasury-secretary” have ever been written.
Betty White as Jeff Sessions
Because if we can get Jeff Sessions to hate Betty White, we can prove he hates everything.
Ellen DeGeneres as Mike Pence
Vice President Mike Pence
likes to play it cool. So it’s going to take something big, like Ellen
DeGeneres agreeing to join “SNL,” to really ruffle the feathers of the
anti-LGBT former Indiana governor.
And of course...
Meryl Streep as Donald Trump
Meryl Streep as Donald Trump
Not only did Meryl Streep rip into Trump at the Golden Globes. Not only did Trump prove it got under his skin when he responded by calling the actress “over-rated.”
But Streep already played him last year in Central Park, so you know she’d be more than willing to do it again. Please do
it again, Meryl. Please do it again. (Sorry, Alec.)
